I'd fancy tipp to beat ye, for me ye'd be slight favourites against any of the others.

I think either Clare or Waterford purely based on the schedule of games both will have to go through to get to a semi final. It shows the importance of at least getting to your provincial final

Well two pucks then… Rory O'Connor's miss and Conor macs goal bound shot that hit conlon on the helmet (or Dee okeeffe's mishit into the goalies hand from 25 yards). Clare were the better team and deservedly won but the margins were small. That's all I'm saying .

I don't think any team will live with Limerick from here…. ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 1897 - 19/07/2021 16:38:44 2361798 Link 0 |
Can you seriously say that both of those incidents didn't hurt the players involved? Honestly..

Galway v Waterford is a match of two teams that really need to step up on their previous performances. Both teams are loaded with talent. It'll be interesting to see what team steps up. I see Galway winning a very close one. Galway by 2 points. Clare v Cork has the makings of an excellent match. I love both teams style of play. I'll take Clare by a point only because Tony Kelly has been savage good all year. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2113 - 19/07/2021 16:45:21 2361804 Link 0 |
There is a very simple answer: "4th official, can you review the incident between Aaron Gillane and Cathal Barrett and advise on card colour". This could be doing as quickly as Paud O'Dwyer went over to ask the linesman what he saw. Help the referees out for god sake. Its not an easy job they have.

Because Waterford and Clare were kept apart Cork and Galway couldn't be drawn against each other either

Just read back the last few pages. What is with the "Kick them when they are down" attitude? Nobody in Wexford is happy today. There are serious questions to be answered. Especially regarding the man at the helm, and other things as well after the year to date. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 19/07/2021 17:06:39 2361823 Link 3 |
Its beyond me why Davy got this year with wexford or why the players wanted him back. His style of play has been holding them back so much. Yes they brought Kilkenny to extra time, but they should have closed that out in normal time no excuses. Same on Saturday tactics failed them and played into Clare's hands. Wexford have a seriously talented squad of players that should be going further than they have done both this season and last, and possible the year before too. I'd be appalled if I was a Wexford man the way they've petered out again. Back to second best again. A proper progressive manager in there could work wonders.

Were they so much better before Davy as they are now? If so how did Davy even get the job? They have some very nice hurlers but not enough of them.

Personally I think we're 3 or 4 players short of being real all Ireland contenders and that we blew our chance in '19. I also think it's time for a change. I just hope the decision doesn't drag on

You didn't blow it in 2019 ...... Limerick did!

He got 2 years so he had this year before the start of last year. I think he should have gone after 2019. That was the chance and we blew it. I just hope the players think it is time for a new voice too. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 19/07/2021 18:49:21 2361870 Link 0 |
Back to 2nd best again? We were only 1 of a couple of bad refereeing decisions from winning the Leinster semi final and a matter of inches away from probably beating Clare when Rory O Connor hit the side netting. That turned into a 6 point swing. And if it had of gone in we would probably have never been even halfway to the 11 points down we got to in the 1st half. If Waterford lose to Galway no doubt you will be on this saying Liam Cahill should be shown the door as their only Championship win will have been a very close win over a Laois team we hammered by more than 20 points. Maybe best you buy a ticket for Croke Park where hopefully the Lilywhites can shock the Dubs because you seem to know nothing about hurling.

That's right. I believe the counties met 10 times in the championship before 2017 and Waterford won them all. In 1998, half of the Waterford team were carrying injuries after a bruising 12 point Munster final replay defeat to Clare. They asked for the all-Ireland quarter-final to be put back a week to give them a chance to recover but the GAA refused. They still beat a highly fancied Galway team out the gate, just 6 days after the Clare match.

They've a serious spine down the centre to start with, good solid lads. I think if they were managed correctly they'd be dangerous. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1898 - 19/07/2021 18:57:32 2361877 Link 0 |
Bon might be a Dub living in Kildare and might not like that. Anyway Viking just want to say Wexford have given us great pleasure the last few years and you can keep your heads held up high.
