SOK/Iggy
Noel Connors, Shane Fives, Barry Coughlan/Tadhg Bourke
Jamie Nagle, Brick, Philip Mahony
Shane Sully, Kevin Moran
Ray Barry Paudie Mahony, Stevie Molumphy
Ryan Donnelly, Seamus Pender, Jake Dillon/Jamie Barron

I think he'll go for SOK, Barry Coughlan and Jake Dillon. I can't see Ray Barry or Ryan Dono being dropped after the Galway game. Tadhg Bourke would be very unlucky to be dropped aswel, but I've a feeling he'll go for Coughlan

alllcounty · 04-03-2014 7:13pm

How long is Darragh Fives out for? Would have been good to try him out in the half forwards in the league but with injury it doesn’t look like it now. Also is Donie Breathnach on the panel does anyone know. He looks like a player that could add to the team in the wing forward position and the league would have been a good place to assess if could stake a place in the team come championship.

Dublin have some very good hurlers and could win it sunday if Waterford fail to show up and fail to score.

have a feeling in my waters that were not going to play well sunday (hopefully im wrong and we play out of our skin)

Liam Rushe will be on Paudie Mahoney to try and stop paudie getting into the game

Hopefully the WIT players hangovers are well gone

If we lose sunday its very unlikely we will make the Quarter finals.

We are going to be playing 4 weekends in a row (Dublin 9th, Clare 16th, Kilkenny 23rd and the QF or the Relagation playoff on the 30th).

This is a huge game Sunday almost as important as the Cork game in May

The Waterford vs London Football game is on in WIT Carriganore at 12.45. Wy oh why didnt they do a double header in Walsh Park

Big ask of a pitch to take two games this time of year

I don't see the loophole - let's say if an U-21 championship is not completed in a calender year (so 2013) (it has happened) and the competition is completed early the next year (2014) - all the players who would be overage for U-21 from January 2014 the first would still be allowed to complete the 2013 U-21 championship.

Well surely the exact opposite should also apply in this case

I suppose when you put it in that context maybe your right but the GAA obviously dont agree. In the eyes of the GAA they are creating this loop hole by not granting ballysaggart a replay and not punising creggan

I can understand pmy murphys beef after someone said its a pity the WIT captain was from kk. Must be his brother or something ;-)

"There are 85,000 people there. I'm on the sideline. We're getting beaten 30 points by Kilkenny, absolutely hammering us. You can't (hide) any place. I'll never forget coming up to the dressing room afterwards, the boys were gone. I actually fell to my knees. My dad and my best friend Liam were there. I just fell down. I balled out crying. I was in a bad way after it. I couldn't believe, that, one minute I was up so high and the next minute I was down (so low)."

He also revealed how he was assaulted by Waterford supporters when the team came off the back of another severe beating at the hands of Tipperary in 2011.

"I remember getting hit by two or three supporters after a game. We lost 7-21 to 21 points to Tipperary. A few of the Waterford supporters hit me on the way in (to the dressing room) and they tried to get in the dressing room door. It was my fault the team played badly."

"In sport there will be ups and downs in a big way. While last year was unbelievable for me, I never forget what it was like to be low, and there is low points you have to deal with. "

he's better suited to Garter Lane not a hurling pitch at times

But as far as I can remember I dont think I mentioned anything about that comment and no you are right I didnt appreciate it either but I certainly didnt comment on it. I happen to know Eoin Murphy very well myself. The comment was a bit unnecessary but sure look what else would you expect from Waterford, Im sure you can agree that yee dont like us and we dont like youse

That comment was just one from numpty. Dosent reflect the views of waterford people as a whole.

Ok but one thing I will honestly state and I live very close to Waterford myself is that Ive never once met a person from Waterford who has said that they dont hate Kilkenny or wish Kilkenny well. Just an observation and I have lived close to Waterford all my life.

I have a feeling Donie Breathnach might be injured. He didn't play in DCU's last Fitzgibbon Cup game, having been their main scorer (mostly from frees) playing at midfield in their previous game. I agree he could be a useful addition to the team up front with his pace, ability in the air and eye for a score. Application could be a problem though. He's also a good free taker, although we have loads of those.

I agree there is a lot of small mindedness on both sides of the border. There is a lot of arrogance and patronising from the kk side aswell. Look, Waterford needs south kilkenny and south kilkenny needs waterford city whether people want to admit it or not.

Hurling is only a game ive a lot of friends from kk aswell but when it comes to talking gaa with them just forget it! If ur not from kk u automatically know nothing about hurling

TGV · 05-03-2014 8:14am

What kind of f**wit is that clown from Clare feeling sorry for himself no mention of the players apart from a ref to drink he should have been kicked out on his arse after the kk all Ireland

robopaddy · 05-03-2014 8:42am

Reading some of the latest stuff he has come out with, he brought the concept of spouting the proverbial bull**** to a whole new level.

I respect what he did with clare last year but it has completely gone to his head now. Worse hes getting

Boo hoo. Like we're really going to wish you well with your thirty odd all Ireland's. I don't hate kk by any means but expecting wd people to wish ye well is a bit much to ask

Saw Mullane's Laochra Gael where he said after the Munster Final the players just felt he got it wrong on the day and felt he should apologize to the people of Waterford, but he never did that.

In this he makes a slight that "It was my fault the team played badly" as if saying that was the reason Waterford people 'attacked' him, because they believed he was wrong when he didn't feel it himself.

He always had an opinion of himself with his carry on, but his words were a bit more curtailed. Seems a free for all now that he's an all-ireland winning manager.

That's a good team. Settled back line. Be interesting to see how mcnulty does midfield but its great that he is getting his chance. Good ball winning forward line, and hopefully Mahony Donnelly and Barry can repeat their good performances from the last day. Looking forward to Sunday now.

Liking that team I must say. Jake Dillon a little unlucky to miss out given how well he performed for WIT. Could just be rested of course. I pray to God our forwards performance against Galway wasn't a once off and that its a sign of whats to come!

3ships · 05-03-2014 11:11am

Good team considering this excert from todays Times:

Waterford’s hopes of a home victory are hit by a long injury list that currently includes the likes of Liam Lawlor, Maurice Shanahan, Darragh Fives, Stephen Daniels, Brian O’Halloran, Richie Foley and Donie Breathnach – all of whom are still working their way back to full match fitness. There are also doubts about the availability of All-Ireland minor winners Stephen Bennett and Austin Gleeson, while Jake Dillon is battling a virus.

Martin O Neill is another on way back

If you can show me a single example in the entire world of sport where the supporters of an unsuccessful team are inclined to think well of their successful neighbours then your observation might be worthwhile. As it is, all you are saying is that we are the same as everyone else.

I can't see any Liverpudlians wishing Man U well, or Madrilenos wishing Barcelona well, or Cork football supporters wishing Kerry well on a September trip to Croker either...

Only time I've shouted KK on was when they were stopping Cork from doing the three in a row. Once they've had 15 years without an All-Ireland and are standing in the way of yet another win for a rampantly successful Tipp, Cork, Clare or Galway team*, I might consider shouting for them then.

* As if!

Horseboxhead · 05-03-2014 11:27am

must admit looking forward to sunday now, like the look at that team, espically now that we have seen who is unfit, i think the win v Galway has given everybody a boost , and to have done it so efficiently was very impressive, at this stage you could only feel very pleased with not only the performence v galway but also against tipp, but you would also have to be happy with team selections, fitness and the willingness for the lads to work for each other on the field, got to be happy with that, big test on sunday, but like Galway your not too sure what dublin team will turn up, they were impressive ish v Clare and must have been stink v Galway the first day as Galway are poor. I think Dublin will prove a different test on Sunday as they will be very physical and have good ball winning forwards, but when they are not 100% at it, can be taken, think we will do well but if Dublin really want it,then they might shade it ,just because they are furthur along the road than we are.

We could expand the discussion into the attitudes of neighbours towards each other in general. Has anyone from Kilkenny ever cheered for Tipperary? But let's keep it simple for the moment. Waterford are unsuccessful. Kilkenny are successful. I would have thought Kilkenny people, up there on their lofty perch, wouldn't give two hoots what we think of them. But I might be wrong and deep down they really yearn to be loved.

You hit the nail on the head there deiseach not only do Kilkenny want to win all round them ( which is grand) but they also want 'to be loved' hence all the false modesty when KK players or management are interviewed. Of course it all right for them to have a primeval hatred of Tipp- thats different of course, the rest of us should tip the hat and bend the knee to them! Dont think so, if we did we'd be....Offaly.

Delighted to see McNulty get a start although id rather he played in his natural/best position wing back rather then midfield but it's great to see so much potential in the squad.

More likely that he will swap with Philip Mahony, I think. Delighted for McNulty, a super hurler. I would like to see him tried in the forwards, as we have loads of half backs. Is he in college somewhere? Wasn't on the Fitzgibbon Cup radar this year.

If you throw in the ten injured/ill players listed in the Irish Times, not to mention the likes of Paudie Prendergast, Jamie Barron (both fixtures on the UCC team), Brian O'Sullivan, Barry Coughlan, Stephen Roche, and Gavin O'Brien, would anyone like to suggest a starting fifeen for the championship - or even a match-day 25?

I think the next generation coming are better over the next 3-4 years.. I believe some of the names that you have mentioned aren't up to it irrespective of being on College sides which i agree is a help but there has been millions of fitz hurlers never make it as intercounty hurlers.. So i wouldnt be overly excited with the names on the injury list to be honest but the next breed coming i would be..

deiseach · 05-03-2014 5:38pm

It's great to so many new faces, but anyone willing to venture an opinion on whether these are being selected in expectation that they'll be Championship-quality hurlers rather than hope?

Dunno, I don't like Mahony out midfield, I think he gets on the ball more in the wing back line, that's where he played his best hurling underage with the minor teams, Ballygunner and DLS. Loving the competition for places though

Shane Mac was playing fresher hurling for WIT this yr!

Sure if yee were decent neighbours yee probably should do. All yee seem to do is begrudge us and make little of our achievements by picking them apart the whole time (ie. yee had refs on yere side, yere on the way down, such and such a team had no backs and as some other clown mentioned previously, the false modesty in interviews etc), that sort of crap I hear from Waterford people the whole time. What I meant by wishing us well I didnt mean in a literal sense, I meant that yee never seem to give us credit where its due. Im just waiting now for someone to belittle the 4 in a row, "oh yee had no real competition" "Overrated". Come on whos going to be the first? Nobody said anything about loving us, who cares about that? But yee are just so bitter yee cant give us credit where its due. Seeing as someone else brought Tipp into it, I remember in 2010 after the match, a Tipp fan turning to me on the hill after the match and shaking my hand commiserating and saying we would be back. I heard many stories of similar events that day too. One thing about the Tipp-Kilkenny rivalry, it is a ferocious rivalry and both hate each other but at the same time theres a genuine respect there. Cant say the same for Waterford though

You cant paint all waterford people the same way. Im from waterford and proud and still have genuine respect for Kilkennys achievements! Most waterford people do!

TGV · 05-03-2014 9:08pm

Actually most waterford people would have admiration for kk hurlers and what they have achieved. And i guess we would like to be in your position. Now go away and come back when you have something constructive to discuss about hurling

I agree with you there I think if anyone from half back line were to move it will be Nagle,I doubt Philip Mahony would be moved out of wing back but I wouldn't be surprised if McNulty started midfield. Either way plenty of positives can be taken from it.

Ill be honest with you im actually a minority. The majority of Kilkenny people actually like Waterford which sickens me considering how much they hate us. Just saying

He is but seriously Waterford are no angels either. Theres a lot of niggle there from both sides. Ya cant say one side are worse than the other. The main reason i dislike waterford is not just because they hate us but because they hate us to such an extent they refuse to even recognise or acknowldege our achievements and all they do is pick them apart the whole time. Not saying anything about you obviously you have your reasons which is understandable but theres a lot of people who dont. As you say yourself about Henry Shefflin, I have a lot of respect for Tony Browne. Sure its a crime not to have respect for a great of the game no matter what county their from. Lar Corbett is another.
