Galford. If it wasn't for the fact I've a decent lump of money on Galway to win the league and All-Ireland I placed way back (at very good odds) I'd probably go for Waterford. . but money aside I can hardly pick between them... Would have to go for Waterford as I spend a lot of time down by the Waterford/Tipp border and feel sorry for their fans, a lot like Galway's actually and Mayo's in the football. They're three counties that always seem to be bridesmades. Either way, at least one of them will be gettting married come September.

I'm delighted to have two 'new' teams and find it difficult to choose between them. Family ties to both counties does not make it any easier although I'll have to admit that the Austin Gleeson affair is inclined to tip me towards Galway. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 16/08/2017 15:30:09 2034282 Link
Obviously Waterford but if beaten could not wish anyone else but Galway to have it. Enjoyed the many trips to Salthill for league games when we could not hold a candle to them. When they were in Munster or a championship match it was a given we would win. John Connolly and his brother were my idol. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2658 - 16/08/2017 15:37:45 2034290 Link

Replying To Pinkie: "Don't buy that Waterford are great supporters, we played them 2-3 years ago in Nowlan Park and of 20k attendance, 15k were from Wexford at a cautious guess. Having said that, I do hope they win for the likes of Brick Walsh, Kevin Moran, Maurice Shanahan. I think there is an All-Ireland in Galway after this year, I am not so sure re Waterford." to be fair pinkie they were at very low ebb then ye were on a high - they brought around 11/12 k to under final last year janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 16/08/2017 16:53:57 2034326 Link
Replying To Laois76: "Next year's All Ireland final Laois v Limerick. Laois out to bridge a 103 year gap. Limerick 45. Carlsberg don't do hurling finals, but if they did...." very good! janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 16/08/2017 16:55:01 2034327 Link
I was just reading over the comments so far and 13 to 7 in favour of Galway, surprised at that. Suppose it's a bigger county and more people seem to have connections/relatives there. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 16/08/2017 17:06:43 2034337 Link
Easy to answer this. Galway. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 16/08/2017 17:10:45 2034340 Link

Of course I want Galway to win, but if we lose I will be glad for Waterford. It is great to finally have a final without one of the big 3.

Between Galway or Waterford, not inclined either way at the moment, but between Joe Canning and Austin Gleeson, would much prefer Canning to win. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 16/08/2017 19:47:31 2034415 Link

Replying To janesboro: "waterford great supporters and waiting longer for all ireland, get better support than galway and galway did win an all ireland in 2001 football. they will run out of pint bottles of guinness in waterford if they do it that said justice demands joe canning gets that elusive all ireland medal either way ill be jealous as hell wondering if i will ever see us win it" I'd give away that and a few other football titles for one more senior hurling All Ireland.

Replying To ballydalane: "Between Galway or Waterford, not inclined either way at the moment, but between Joe Canning and Austin Gleeson, would much prefer Canning to win." Canning is 30 next year so his chances are running out.Gleeson is young in his early 20s and he should have more opportunities even though Waterford don't get to many All-Ireland Finals. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2162 - 16/08/2017 19:59:04 2034425 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Either way I'll be happy but I'll go with Waterford cause they've got Austin Gleeson." I think Clondalkin Austin gives you 'the full on goslings' !! As that awful ad on rte says, i can't recall what it's for. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 16/08/2017 21:03:29 2034455 Link
Replying To witnof: "Galway this year, and next year Waterford! And I am not been funny, would love to see this pan out." Don't think you're being funny pal but possibly a bit unrealistic. Can't see anything other than a return to the usual suspects next year but I'd love to be proved wrong on that. MedwayIrish (Wexford) - Posts: 2324 - 16/08/2017 21:04:37 2034456 Link
