Replying To countyman2022: "Had Wex only 4/5 Fitz starting players this year in coileges? The Munster counties, KK & Galways seem to have huge numbers across all sides. More so Munster counties. How have we only 4/5 being exposed to the highest standard of hurling at that age profile?" Before the essay, list of names and excuses comes about how this lad would of being playing but was injured, or how Carlow aren't playing in Fitzgibbon etc etc, the simple fact and answer to your question is Wexford are not producing enough underage hurlers to warrant inclusion in Fitzgibbon panels.

Replying To jm25: "NFL players have been taking a knee for anthem for decades not that it was relevant to my post
Bit woke getting offended by people taking a knee" I thought it was pathetic, not offensive.
If same hysteria took hold now i have little doubt there would be insisting in GAA joining the charade.

No. We don't need it, and it wouldn't improve things." Your answer of NO could be used to reply to all of our Yankee posts.

Replying To supersub15: "Exactly like a couple of others, they watch the match then come on here to give their tuppence worth by speaking with forked tongue etc,etc." What forked tongue? I like watching rugby but don't support Ireland or Leinster for "cultural reasons."

1pm tomorrow for the schools final in Ballinasloe. Should be a good game. Ciaran Leen should be strong at this level for the Pres having already lined out for Galway seniors up front and they will have Shay Brady and Aodhan McDonagh in the back line from last year's county minors. Raphael's probably favourites though with a good spread of strong players - Gavin Maher, Jack Shaughnessy, Eoghan Mulleady, Ethan Coleman and a bunch more who have done well at club level underage.

Replying To Timbertony: "How are we doing at second level with how many are playing at A level v Clare and Limerick I wonder?" A quick look at the Corn Uí Dhuill roll of honor will answer that one for you.
But again you have those on this forum who like to harp on about a Wexford school beating KK CBS in a group game!! Or beating Cork in a preliminary quarter final, and finishing 4th or 5th in an u15 tournament.
It's about winning titles nothing else.
And Wexford are currently so far away from winning titles at ALL levels it's frightening.
We are 100/1 to win the All Ireland this year!! Out of 11 teams!!
If it was a horse race would you even class us as an also-ran?? It's embarrassing

Replying To gunman: "A very strange statement.I don't think many would replace Roarty with anybody in the country let alone Donegal.There is this narrative however that we need more natural defenders but I don't who they are suggesting should be replaced.Maybe there are some with an agenda against a certain player.If there is a choice to be made I would tend to go with a player who has the ability to attack with pace.There are some who would sacrifice this for defensive minded players.Ideally what you would want is 5 or 6 Roartys who can defend and attack with equally brilliant ability." Not as strange as the comment " Curran is our best defender" . Mind boggling?

Replying To TanCanRan: "Explains a lot of the hot air so." You'd swear it was a hammering. The teams were level on 50 mins. Galway going nowhere this year either. They'll be lucky to get out of Leinster. A lot of the young lads need 4 years s&c to get to where they should be. They'll be eaten alive come championship. Also, as for Conor Whelan coming back into the 15. 9 pts in 7 championship games last year, needs to seriously improve his form to warrant a selection. Anthony burns has opted out, and he's right.

Replying To jm25: "A lad singing in Spanish at the Super Bowl this weekend seems to really triggering a certain section of the woke types" Even the NFL have dropped that kneeling nonsense. Think FAI were among last to cop on to that.

I suspect that Burns was told he wasn't going to be near the starting 15 for county team and so he decided to move on. There are a good few ahead of him for those corner forward spots in fairness

A brilliant occasion in Cusack Park, entertaining game, Colaiste Mhuire better team, huge physicality in middle section, Marist just couldn't win possession, James McHugh man of the match with 2-8 off limited possession, Weir, Byrne, Ormsby, Moloney and O' Brien had big influence for winners.

Ah only one team ever going to win after time. Clear gulf in class. I told you in advance that Loughrea lacked an elite forward and that's exactly what came to pass. They've a lot of really good club forwards but no one who will make it at senior intercounty.
