    New thread continued from here.

    Welcome to the Waterford GAA discussion thread.

    This is consistently the most active thread don the GAA forum. As a result, discussion can get quite heated. But there are certain things posters must realise are simply not OK to post:

    - Personal abuse of anyone be they other posters, players, managers, referees, pundits etc. Any personal abuse will result in an infraction or a ban.

    - Rumours about players'/managers'/anyone's personal lives. This should be self explanatory. Apart from being a dickish thing to do, it can lead to legal trouble for Boards.

    - Trolling. Again, self explanatory. Trolls will be banned for a long time.

    - Accusations of trolling. Report a post if you suspect it to be trolling. Do not call a troll out on thread as this will be considered back seat modding.

    - Speculation into the identity of another poster. This is a site-bannable offence.

    This list is not exhaustive. Either myself or another mod may add to this as we see fit. Just because a certain behaviour isn't listed, doesn't mean you can't be banned for it.
    The general Boards.ie rule of Don't be a Dick always applies.

    If you feel a post breaks the rules, simply click this report.gif underneath the post in question to report the post and a mod will deal with it as they see fit.

    So be civil to each other and happy posting.

    ***EDIT (20/11/2015): Quite frankly I'm getting a bit sick of the thread regularly descending into tit for tat insults between posters. From now on, it won't be a card but a ban straight away for anything like this. The mod warning is clear in the first post but yet people still ignore it.
    Also, I'd like to remind people of the ban on discussing players'/managers'/officials' private lives without any substance. You can be getting into libelous territory there. So a zero tolerance policy will be enforced as well.

    11 to 3 ahead after 24 mins, serious wind though! Galway not looking great, Canning having a mare. Cork down against Wexico 10 points to 4 as well, interesting one.

    Cruising here. Galway struggling with the elements but we're well on top. Blanket defense in the second half will see us home. 9pt lead at any level at halftime is huge. Aussie excellent again.

    Great to have had the wind first as we wouldn't wanted to have been down by a big score - could have been a serious confidence denting. I'm surprised Galway opted to play against it.
    Have to say some impressive long distance scores which we have to do if we are going to leave 1 on 2,3 or 4 inside. Good battling though overall and holding our own in the physical stakes.

    Down to 4 point lead now. Forwards gone out of it completely. Maurice for Bennett, who is clearly not fit needs to be done quickly.

    Great showing of heart, grit, workrate and determination.
    A bonus for us is how awful Galway were, but we totally outbattled them

    Tipp in the semi final. No callinan for them as he got a straight red today.

    Impressive work rate and point taking today. Good win.

    Worth noting that since the new format launched this is the only knock out game (out of 8) won by a 1B side

    Big congrats all around. As I've stated im not in love with the style but it is effective and the lads have bought into it. Final 20mins was amazing with the work rate against the strong wind. Barron excellent throughout and delighted to see Maurice back in after the year he has had.
    Double header maybe in thurles now?

    Jamie Barron as excellent, an absolutely sweet corner back at minor level, real tidy hurler and was a big prospect, great to see him living up to that potential

    Most of our games this year have been on pitches smaller than Thurlas so it will be interesting to see if that defensive system will work as well in the wide open spaces of Thurlas. Good win today thought Moran had his best game for Waterford this year. Subs all played well. Looking forward to Tipp in Thurlas. Up the Deise

    Showed their metal when Galway brought it back to 4pts and kicked on again.
    The work rate was impressive again today and we can look forward to giving Tipp a
    good rattle in a fortnight ( double header in Thurlus I presume )..
    No pressure on Waterford , we're in Bonus territory now.
    Up The Deise !!

    Ya Maurice shan made a big impact when he came on. Think the SF is 3 weeks away. 19th April. Great to be still playing league hurling in late April when you'd hope the pitches are firming and the weather better.

    Fair play to Waterford. The very least you expect from a team going out is absolute work rate and effort, and your lads have given that in spades the last 2 weeks. It makes a huge difference. Tactics and stuff can come later, work rate, whilst sounding easy, can be one of the hardest things to get out of a team.
