Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

Couldn’t listen to the absolute clowns on that yerman Rory O Neill don’t even know he is and the gobsheen Shane McGrath all they want to hear is the sound of their own voices.

He’s terrible. you’d wonder who does he know in RTE,

Would it have been that hard for Aisling Thompson or someone else in Cork Camogie to ring up one of the Waterford players and agree a joint approach as opposed to announcing this unilaterally.

I'm sure the Waterford women feel the same way as their Cork counterparts ... maybe I'm wrong but it smacks to me of someone trying to grab a headline.

Cork camogie player Ashling Thompson has said Cork will wear shorts in Saturday's Munster senior camogie final and if they are asked to change to skorts, they will refuse to do so, even if it risks the game being abandoned.

"If that means abandoning the game and handing over the Munster title to Waterford, that’s what we’ll do."

"We’re just hoping that Waterford will follow suit. It’s not about us versus the association. It’s standing up for what’s right," she added

As someone said …. it's like something out of Fr. Ted.

fair play to Niamh Rocket and the rest of the team

I just saw the great Peter power passed away today. A great hurling man who had a big influence on lots of kids from his many visits to the schools around the county. Had a a lovely way about him. I think he was part of the setup for that historic under 21 win in 92. Rip to a gent

Decent performance by the Footballers

No because it would mean 4 points doesn't guarantee anything.

I hate the talk of, what result do we want, fact of the matter is. Before today's game and after today's game, qualification is in our own hands.

If we want to ensure qualification we have to win in Thrurles, it's as simple as that.

I'm not saying we will, but it's in our own hands

The way things have panned out we probably would've needed to get something against Tipp in Thurles even if we bet Limerick last week to be sure of qualifying before going away to Cork.

We would've took this position before the start of the championship. What a huge game it now is in Thurles next week. Important we travel in numbers and get behind the lads.

Take down Tipp now

Limerick, Tipp & Cork favs to go through now but if we can win either game against Tipp or Cork would likely put us through..a nightmare scenario would we lose to Tipp, Cork beat Limerick, then we beat Cork but Limerick also beat Clare, then those 3 are tied on 5 points and we're left out of the championship on 4 points 🤮

The pedantic police are out at this unmerciful hour i see

From what I've seen as an outsider over the last two games - Waterford back line shouldn't crumble the way Clare's did in the first half against Tipp.

Waterford team won't fear this Tipp team and the home advantage isn't the same for Tipp.

Was thinking the same. Our support hasn't been great for the past 5 to 10 years. Hope we get a good crowd travelling
