Replying To Paull: "We let in a very soft goal.. Hit the crossbar . Had 13 more wides than Dublin. 15 more scoring chances. And still only lost by 2 pts. Bottom Line Dublin are actually very poor. And somehow we lost to them." I get your argument, so apart from the scores wexford were the better team! arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4955 - 06/05/2023 19:26:14 2476166 Link
Replying To goreyll: "He was painful to listen to and so biased like you said. It was hard enough watch without his drivel. God I am so fed up I can't even comment on the match." Same. Utterly despondent after that. I'm not usually this negative on here but that was so depressing. It's hard not to wonder if it isn't a complete rebuild job now and that the quality coming through doesn't match what's there already.

It's like we were trying to lose that. If we could shoot we could have won by ten points or more. We had so many goal chances but too low on confidence to kill it. Was talking to a tipp lad and a Galway lad who both said we were by far the better side but did everything we could not to win Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3751 - 06/05/2023 20:08:10 2476174 Link
Wexford are at nothing. 2019 was a one-off rare occasion. I don't even know what style of hurling they are trying to play, no style has been perfected under Egan. The players aren't there in Wexford, all stems from a very weak second level schools hurling, very poor standard of club hurling and players coming through to the senior team not ready for elite senior hurling. So what if we get third in the group , we play a Joe McDonagh runner up and then take a beating from a Munster team. Waste of time. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 961 - 06/05/2023 20:18:55 2476175 Link

Replying To festinog: "Some shocking wides there from Wexford when the game was in the cauldron. But as a neutral can I ask who the hell were the commentators on GAAGO? That Dublin lad's bias was absolutely shocking and even as a neutral he almost had me cheering for Wexford. A 50/50 decision went Wexford's way and he was deriding the ref, and minutes later when even by his own admission a Dublin player went to ground with barely a touch and he was hailing the resulting free as 'great game management'. It was tiresome." I listened to one of your commentator on South East Radio last weekend, because the game wasn't televised and thats another discussion, and quite frankly, he was embarrassing. We had a number of clear goal chances we did not take. Only for them Wexford were bate. No recognition what so ever from your commentator for the Antrim skill, fitness and determination. Dublin got away with a win against us by the skin of their teeth the week before. Without Chin youse are struggling and if you didn't see this coming well.....

I think comparing a local Wexford radio station to GAA's neutral online broadcasting is comparing apples and oranges.

The poster you're replying to is from Galway not Wexford. You're also comparing a local Wexford radio station to GAAGO, a national broadcast. You aren't bitter at all are you? Struggling we still comfortably accounted for your lot. Says a lot about your character to post that just after a loss like that. Suppose I'd be bitter too if my county couldn't get within a score of a walking wounded low ebb Wexford team. Enjoy the rest of the hurling this weekend lad.

Next Wednesday's u20 game v Kilkenny has just become the most important game for Wexford hurling this year. If we can beat them and win Leinster (and who knows after that) it would be a start.

Totally deflated after this. People will talk about the wides but I look at the wider stance. Between this years league and championship to date. Played 8. Lost 7. Won 2. Teams we beat westmeath and antrim. Serious questions to be asked now. We not mcdonagh cup standard but just above it. We are all internal optimists down here but time to look deeper into the trouble we are in. We still might get a performance against kilkenny but can't see it. It would only paper over the cracks. I just don't know where we can go for here. Today showed where we are. 2nd rate team. Results back that up. Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 153 - 06/05/2023 20:52:38 2476186 Link

Fact is dublin, wex & yourselves only a puck of a ball tween us. Wex badly need a good free taker, how long have we been saying that?! Anyways, wex have never failed to qualify since round robin started & stangely dublin or yourselves have not either qualified I don't think. Think this will have more twists. Wex went to nowlan park last yr and got a much coveted win in the championship after getting lucky to draw with Westmeath, they deserved to win. Would be unreal if you turn kk over tomorrow. I see It all to play for in last match for the third spot. bottletopbill (Wexford) - Posts: 74 - 06/05/2023 20:54:39 2476187 Link

Replying To Lockerroomboy: "Leaving Conor McDonald as a sub was a total joke, as if we are blessed with scoring forwards," And Rory O'Connor hurling in his own half again. HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 554 - 06/05/2023 21:12:29 2476190 Link

We are always waiting for that gifted minor or u20 panel to bring us back up & it will eventually come about. Look at Galway, absolutely unreal under age teams with all irelands and one senior all Ireland in in what, 29 years?!, mind you the way they talk you would think otherwise. Suppose that proves it doesn't always transfer thru, but it does help if your underage structures are at least producing those players. Anyways, we are where we are. Third place is all to play for, 2 home wins and reckon we there. Who wud of thought after drawing in mullingar we would beat Kk at home in a huge match for both. bottletopbill (Wexford) - Posts: 74 - 06/05/2023 21:24:33 2476193 Link

Says so at the bottom of all my posts and the liberal use of the word 'neutral' throughout my post should have been another give away. Now take a deep breath and relax a mhic. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3151 - 06/05/2023 21:25:08 2476194 Link

I think there's very little between Wexford, Dublin and Antrim. Great credit to Antrim but that's a shocking indictment of all the investment gone into hurling in Wexford and Dublin. 9k at the game today on a nice Saturday evening in Croker, says a lot.

As I said a few weeks ago we are 3 players away from Joe McDonagh cup standard - Chin, Reck & R O 'Connor. That can't be the way forward.
