Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

Sorry but that post is delusional. Since the league, coupled with wins over Limerick last year, there has been massive hype about Cork. Tickets like hens teeth, journalists etching the name on Liam McCarthy before a ball was thrown in and, thank God,, Hoggy will get the All Ireland he deserves.

If Cork don’t even get out of Munster it willl be a massive flop. Cork are still favourites but there is never a huge expectation on Waterford so it’s a free shot at glory. They could easily implode too. That’s the level of our expectation.

Dice needs to be rolled big time. Expecting team to be announced within the next hour or so. I honestly think and agree with Mullane that a 50% fit Ozzie at the edge of the square works in the modern game. Leavy and Fives (huge lack of pace) had awful games last weekend and I’d drop both. Mahoney needs to go also. More than likely, Queally won’t drop Mahoney and won’t pick Ozzie.

Nolan

Daly Prunty Kenny

TDB (on harnedy) Fitz K.Bennett (On Fitzgibbon)

Lyons Pendergast

Kiely (on Coleman) Barron St.Bennett

Dessie Gleeson Sh.Bennett

Subs
Curran
C,.Daly
P.Fitzgerald

Anything else is weaking the team.

2 changes - Patrick Fitz for Dessie H and Sean Walsh for K Mahony

Had to happen with Dessie might be a blessing in disguise for him takes a bit of the pressure away and what a sub to have to bring in all the same

Best of luck to Sean Walsh he can cause problems for them for sure

The atmosphere in the Parc on Sunday will we intense. We had an opportunity to go full blooded from the off at a possibly vulnerable Cork defence. Hope I am wrong but that attack will not cut it.

Cork backs will be delighted

tis not the team in my opinion to win this game.

I’m guessing Walsh is in to try and win some puck outs. He’s a good direct runner and goal threat on his day. Where is giveitfong gone. I’d love to see some analysis on our puck out success and also compare SOB to Billy in that regard. It’s easy for all of us to be know it alls and we’ll all be experts after it’s over but for now I guess we’ll have to trust that Queally and Dan are picking the best team available to win on the day. Nobody will want it more than them.

Yeah giveitfongs analysis was always something to look forward to. Think he/she used to post on afr back in the day

What is afr?

on paper that bench is mental hahaha

Still on the look out for 2 x stand tickets if any one here's of any floating around i'd really appreciate it

We ended up getting them from the club even though they had no mention of selling any. They've even managed to get us 3 seats together this time after getting a mix of 1 seat and terrace tickets for both the Walsh Park games

All Ireland Minor Hurling Prem Quarter Finals

Clare 2-20 Dublin 0-13

Limerick 1-20 Wexford 0-15

So its Limerick or Clare again for us in the All Ireland Minor QFs

The gap between Munster and Leinster is growing at an alarming rate now, considering we were a good bit better than both Limerick and Clare. This provincial system has to go sooner rather than later I think.

I’m referring to the current senior provincial system and what the future looks like. no guarantee Offaly will come strong at senior while Kilkenny and Galway will always be strong. It’s basically Kilkenny and Galway competing in Leinster for the foreseeable and that’s it while Munster will be a mine-field. I just think the whole championship is flawed and lob-sided and needs to be looked at
