By the way scallioneater I don't just pop up here having a cut. It as Wicklow fans that brought this up again, not me. I comment on here about all things Carlow GAA. I'm also a "good Carlow person" and unlike yourself I support both codes whereas you eveidently couldn't care less about Carlow hurlers but despite that you chose to "pop up" here which is not like you.

I give us a 10% chance of winning against Carlow. We are in bonus territory really carlow are a bit further down the road in terms of development than us. We have made good progress this year as opposed to the last few years which were shambolic. I just feel this year is a year too soon for this group, if our injuries clear up we'll push carlow all the way but i don't see us being closer than 5 or 6 points in the end. Antrim will win the other semi final by 10 points plus.

Carlow to win, hope it doesn't go to extra time although either way they should win with a couple to spare. Scallioneater (Carlow) - Posts: 293 - 19/05/2017 12:46:17 1988317 Link 0 |

Hard to look past how the bookies see this weekends games going with Antrim and Carlow favourites in their respective semis. While both are favourites I can see why they have the odds closer in the Carlow/Wicklow game as it probably has the more potential for an upset going by recent performances. Also, if they read a few of the comments on here over the last week or two they might have shortened the odds a bit more as there is obviously no love lost between the two Counties which can increase intensity and throw the form book out the window. Hell, if it wasn't so far away I would have been tempted to go myself after the jousting on here between our Carlow and Wicklow posters.

I was giving out about Kildare choosing players that don't play for a Kildare club. Thomas Walsh did transfer to Bray remember. The 2 situations are not comparable. The Gaa must be really desperate to have Carlow and Antrim go through. Perhaps they should have just dropped the semis and put the 2 of them to the final ? sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2897 - 19/05/2017 17:54:50 1988416 Link 0 |

Sponger I love the fight you have in you, hope the hurlers bring that fighting spirit to the match in Carlow tomorrow. Good luck to your lads, everyone outside Carlow is probably cheering for the under dogs. C'mon Wicklow!

Good luck to Antrim. But Down will be more difficult than most people think.

Good man there Sponger. He transferred to Wicklow first, then Bray.

The Gaa must be absolutely delighted that these 2 teams have got to the final. sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2897 - 20/05/2017 20:38:50 1988641 Link 0 |

Go away out of that sponger. Ye we're very lucky he left yis with 15 on the field, he was very lenient with of yeer dirtier strokes. I thought Wicklow were a poor team today and were no match for a much more fluid Carlow who never got out of third gear. Ye relied too much on brute force and no little ignorance and displayed little if anything in the form of good stickwork. Ye looked more Nicky Rackard standard to me. Hopefully we'll win the final and can get away from the likes of ye next year.

Yep Sponger you're right again, another 70,000 expected at Croker.

Sponger, for what possible reason would the GAA prefer Carlow in the final instead of Wicklow?

Yeah you're spot on ,the referee was poor he should have red carded a couple of Wicklow players. Ye showed your true colours again today with your filthy play, that's about all ye are good for, oh ...and robbing players from your neighbour. (-;

Ah yeah sponger the referee was at fault. 24 scores to Carlow 10 scores to Wicklow. I can understand your frustration.(-;

Because we are much nicer people. That's why the gaa intervened and upset Wicklow so much that they lost by 10 points. In fairness the 22nd of our 24 points may have been wide and this made all the difference. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 21/05/2017 12:08:12 1988759 Link 0 |

At the weekend you couldn't fault the lads.. Paul Coady, excellent hurler, left to right, risk taker, what you need in a match ... savage intensity,John Mike Nolan the same backs himself, strong, confident hurler. Full back line - solid. Can't fault them men. This team needs to believe in themselves. Give it their absolute heart. If you don't believe if yourself nobody else will. Fair play men. Drive it on now. Get stuck in. bazzyjoe1 (Carlow) - Posts: 2 - 21/05/2017 23:37:23 1989079 Link 1 |
