I note a few tweaks for the London match as against that announced for last week. Still be surprised if that is the team that starts. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1414 - 01/02/2025 00:32:54 2588722 Link
Only for the Bray Emmets lads.... Wicklow would be crucified Magoo1234 (Wexford) - Posts: 2 - 01/02/2025 14:23:46 2588765 Link
Replying To Magoo1234: "Only for the Bray Emmets lads.... Wicklow would be crucified" I suppose, in fairness to everyone, Bray have been top or near the top of the pile here for 10/12 years now and that is bound to show. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1414 - 01/02/2025 14:46:25 2588767 Link
Squeaky bum type of game in London. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1414 - 02/02/2025 13:56:28 2588876 Link
So London have done the double on wicklow this weekend. This is a real low kodak13 (Wicklow) - Posts: 81 - 02/02/2025 14:13:48 2588877 Link
There is no way to dress that result up as good for a team with ambitions of promotion. There is a long way to go but we are on the back foot already. So, I suppose the question is, what's new ?? Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1414 - 02/02/2025 14:14:08 2588878 Link

Replying To kodak13: "100%. Under pressure now after 1 game." When you see what Wexford did to London last week, doesn't look too good. Carlow are looking strong also. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1414 - 02/02/2025 14:41:56 2588882 Link
i think the news rules are effecting wicklow big time that is only my view but of course on this forum no one is entitled to a few that is the problem . The two pointer is going to cause problems to a few weaker teams and the lack of understanding of news rules some managers dont understand it themselfes lor12 (Wicklow) - Posts: 246 - 02/02/2025 14:53:56 2588884 Link

So, keep them coming and to hell with the begrudgers. On the football front, to me, we don't have nearly enough seasoned performers like, say, Dean Healy. Some of the younger ones are too green and more than one overrated. That's not to say they won't improve. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1414 - 02/02/2025 15:35:10 2588891 Link

Well said Freethinker, - full of their own importance etc etc etc. Commiserationns on result, I didn't see that coming. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3113 - 02/02/2025 16:14:59 2588907 Link

London possibly are stronger at home - but that still doesn't disguise the fact that if you have ambitions for Div 3, being beaten by London - with the greatest respect to them - is not near promotion material.

It's easier to get out of div 1, 2, or 3 than to get out of div. 4, it's as simple as that. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3113 - 02/02/2025 18:19:22 2588969 Link
Replying To supersub15: "It's easier to get out of div 1, 2, or 3 than to get out of div. 4, it's as simple as that." if u get out of div 1 where do u go? Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2923 - 02/02/2025 18:49:17 2588983 Link
Replying To icehonesty: "Absolutely agree. Far too many amalgamations out there. Sure, both clubs will now likely compete at B level rather than A level, but so what. Makes very little difference, and far too many lads think they're great fellas playing on stacked teams winning A championships (only to be never heard of again at adult level). Winning a minor championship means NOTHING. For Dunlavin and Donard to come up with 15 players each will be great for both clubs, far more participation at underage level and they'll reap the rewards at adult level for years to come. Brilliant decision to go it alone." That's it. Albundy19 (Wicklow) - Posts: 82 - 02/02/2025 19:18:26 2588994 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "if u get out of div 1 where do u go?" No idea, I spent most of my time in div.4 All I can do is a bit of wishful thinking. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3113 - 02/02/2025 19:27:03 2588999 Link
Replying To supersub15: "No idea, I spent most of my time in div.4 All I can do is a bit of wishful thinking." Same from our angle, except if it was us, we would probably be heading out - in the other direction. Sad but true. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1414 - 02/02/2025 19:38:49 2589008 Link
Jaysus that's a disaster of a result today , even more so in the context that Wexford beat London out the gate last weekend. Hawkeye2 (Wicklow) - Posts: 152 - 02/02/2025 19:51:38 2589012 Link
Replying To Hawkeye2: "Jaysus that's a disaster of a result today , even more so in the context that Wexford beat London out the gate last weekend." Wexford are going nicely in fairness. Hopefully we can get ourselves sorted somewhat on Saturday against Waterford. I don't mean to disrespect Waterford, but if we can't get ourselves together, I fear for the Wexford game.

Replying To Freethinker: "Same from our angle, except if it was us, we would probably be heading out - in the other direction. Sad but true." At least 6 if not all teams in div 4 are capable individually of gaining promotion as of now. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3113 - 02/02/2025 22:27:38 2589084 Link
