so whats your proposals? Have one cship cup for everyone to fight over? Last year 3 teams lifted silverware. Looked what yesterday meant to Wexford. Provincial titles was a realisitic target for all teams this year with the exception of Carlow and don't underestimate what it means to players.

Agreed but that happens in every county and in every sport. In every county there is only a small core group of loyal fans. You only need to look at the attendance for minor games before senior games to see that. Only the real GAA people go in for them and stick until the end and it happens in every single county and thats the reality of it.

Imagine Way No the thousands of people you are denying the pleasure out of pulling out of you, kissing you & harassing you with big slobbery porter gobs on them, go on out of that you would love the attention, just like on here.

What would you prefer as a player? To celebrate in the moment with the players you won the game/trophy/competition with as well as coaches, management team that helped you do it as well as your close family or have hundreds maybe thousands of strangers although well meaning who are pulling and dragging out of you? I know I'd prefer the first. The pitch should be for players and then that also allows defeated players enough time to get off pitch or whatever else they want to do without potential of being hassled by people trying to celebrate their win. You can celebrate your win from the stand as much as you can on the pitch.

yesterday was great for Wexford but hurling cant progress with the elephant in the room of the provincial system. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 01/07/2019 22:17:53 2204016 Link 0 |
You'd know a large amount of people coming on to the pitch. The hurling fraternity, and Gaelic football, in rural counties especially, know one another from league matches, club interaction etc. No strangers. Laois v London footballers in London in last year's league was a great occassion for players and fans to bond. You're playing for your own county people, not the few who happen to be on the panel at any particular time. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 01/07/2019 23:07:07 2204045 Link 1 |
There was a fine crowd in for the minor game yesterday.

Didnt see any elephants yesterday but in fairness my memory of Yesterday is hazy. Do remember seeing 10s of thousands of happy people celebrating though Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 02/07/2019 00:30:11 2204076 Link 0 |
For me they fans should be kept off the pitch from a Limerick perspective remember last yr after all ireland with the team out enjoying photos by the hill, selfies, plus how could they have done the lap of honour if there had been thousands on the pitch. It's not as if we'd be miles away from the celebrations someday (Limerick) - Posts: 1104 - 02/07/2019 08:23:57 2204105 Link 0 |
You'll need to give detail on your issue.

I find it hard to believe you're a Wexford hurlin g man saying that. Baffling. Never has provincial championships been more open. It's not long ago kk were virtually unbeatable in the all Ireland, never mind Leinster. That has all changed now and you want to get rid of teams chances of claiming silverware! Wexford's aim this year would have been Leinster. Would the players have believed Davy if the all Ireland was the aim and the only chance of silverware? That's not being disrespectful of Wexford's chances from here on but at the start of the year I'm not even sure they'd buy into the belief that they win the all Ireland. Provincials, now more than ever are going no where tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 02/07/2019 09:32:14 2204135 Link 1 |
My beef is that we missed these Limerick Victory Scenes, surely having 1 final on Saturday evening at 7pm and one on Sunday is the way forward next year? Alternate the year as in fairness Saturday doesn't suit everybody. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1737 - 02/07/2019 13:49:28 2204297 Link 1 |
It is because a couple of idiots ruin it for everyone and Health and Safety rules are designed with them in mind. Limerick are bringing huge crowds to their games just like in 2013. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 02/07/2019 16:32:27 2204391 Link 0 |
