Waterford GAA Discussion Thread 2013- Mod Warning Post #1

A manager from outside the county would be a wise choice and can never understand why we never had a manager from Kilkenny, surely there's plenty guys down there who have managed club sides in various counties.

As for defensive hurling, its mind boggling to see and daft and when you add it to the handpassing the ball to the next guy who is 5 yards away in a worse position, it does make the blood boil.

They're coaching the individual aspect of each hurler out of them and brainwashing them to literally go backwards with the ball and replacing the fun of playing with fear in playing.

As for Saturday night, Wexford were a threat running at Clare last week so I guess we'll start out with half forwards playing around the half back line to stop the ball going inside. When we get the ball, we'll have no forwards to aim at or be greatly outnumbered so scores will be based on O'Mahony's frees.

I hope I'm wrong but that will play into Wexford's hands as if they get ahead, their confidence will soar further after last week.

Positives from last night:

1/ We don't have to go to Ennis in 2 weeks and get annilated there

2/ It was not live on TV thank God

3/ The minors at least beat the U-21s last week. That might sound like a negative now but it could be a positive in the future.

4/ The Cork keeper was man of the match. A traditional consolation for the losing team when you can't blame the ref

5/ Hopefully a wake up call for Saturday....


Looking forward to Saturday I just would love to see us give it a real go. We should be ok 1-9 so I don't see any reason why our YOUNG forwards need to help out our EXPERIENCED defenders/midfielders

I presume the team is out tonight, my team even tho it won't happen;

1 - SOK
2 - T de B
3 - Lawlor
4 - Connors
5 - S Fives
6 - Moran
7 - P Prender
8 - D Fives
9 - S Molumphy
10 B O Halloran - F*** it should be fit enough now there are plenty of sub options but might bring a bit of dynamism to forwards
11 Brick - Something to hit and played there in our most significant win in 50 years (08 Tip)
12 Gleeson
13 Dunford
14 S Walsh
15 Mahony - Frees of course and would like to see him as a playmaker further up pitch

lads, ffs fellas banging on about ryan here still, if ryan was any good he be with another decent county or a top club, not messing around with some intermediate team in clonmel.

secondly, queally is a bluffer too, same crap as last year negative as an taoiseach, men behind the ball no apparent plan then goes and has a dig at senior set up and that it didnt suit him! god sake man u knew about this game for ages its a reflection on your management skills if you cannot motivate and organise players.

lastly waterford will beat wexford and also limerick of that i am certain. where will the derek mcgrath knockers be then? I cant see them being negative v wexico id understand it against a team of greater ability, but i imagine we will go out and hurl wex 15v15... and beat them.

will that be enough to take from dereks critics? i doubt it....

free the ballymac 1....

What has Michael Ryan got to do with Waterford hurlings problems in 2014?People can only judge what they see and on the evidence presented so far Waterford have gone backwards from last year at a rate of knots.In fairness Waterford shipped no heavy championship defeats under the last management.I also think you are incredibly dismissive of a Limerick team that are at a more advanced stage of development than Waterford.This is a Limerick team that gave Cork a tough battle on Sunday and if the snatched a goal first they could have retained their munster title.Last weekends win will also have bought on Wexford a lot.I had a feeling you would get up on the soap box again after the u21 match last night to have a pop off Peter Queally.I thought it was a handy win at first (i said as such on the Cork GAA thread) but it turns out our keeper had to make several quality saves in that game.After Waterfords draw with Cork in Munster the very first line you said in your post game post is what do ye lot in the west think now?You seem to struggle with the concept that Waterford is one county both east and west.Your posts are dripping with poisonous agendas.Would you say what have posted here to both Michael and Peter if you were face to face with them?

What are fellas take on the team? Strange brick and tadgh as a midfield pairing? I won't even go into the usual suspects in the forward line!

Shane O'Sullivan half forward?

if that's the team then de burca will drop back sweeper, o Sullivan will go mid field and zGleeson to wing. Dunford and Walsh in the ff line. Basically same set up as last night.

I rest my case about Sullivan and Dillon.

Mother of f**k, we're gone back to the 70's and 80's where it was harder to get off the team than on it, depending on what club you were from.
