You'd know all getting carried away and fall back to earth with a bump considering the reaction when ye beat Kildare a few years ago. Where did that particular adventure go? Seem to fizzle out in a short space of time. Didn't hear much from you till this evening.

There's no real need to post Onion Breath. Sponger does all of the heavy lifting all here. Post anyway though, always good posts. Passer_By (Carlow) - Posts: 521 - 14/05/2023 23:02:18 2478530 Link 0 |

Seems to be a lot of Carlow supporters come out of the woodwork suddenly who haven't been heard from, for quite a long time. I suppose one victory does make your summer.

Because it's a rumour it's not worth a comment.

Big game away to Longford on Saturday. Lose this match and realistically we won't be progressing in the Tailteann Cup. Last weekend's result was bad but the way we lost made it much worse. It is important to get the result right this weekend and bounce back against superior opposition to Carlow and away in Longford which is a difficult place for Wicklow in the past. I'm hoping for a big reaction from the team to what happened against Carlow. I hope we, as a county, bounce back and don't go out with a whimper. It is important for this team that they can prove they learn from games like last weekend and rectify what they did wrong. Best of luck to all involved. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2037 - 16/05/2023 17:08:14 2479047 Link 1 |

That's that for this year. I could never see how, on last Sundays performance, we were going to beat Longford. Presently we wouldn't beat many, if any. Sometimes I think I am looking at different matches to others. Staying in Div 3 next year is looking tougher by the game. Having said that, we must say well done to Casey and the lads. I realise we shouldn't read too much into todays result as both teams were giving some leading lights a rest. The final should be a cracker.

Another embarrasing defeat. After 60 years of following our seniors I now finally relaise that it is time to pull the plug. Despite a great sponship deal and a high profile personality in charge the performances have gone from bad to worse and our presence in division 3 will be a short one if today's display is anything to go on.

Casey and his management team have transformed the hurlers in under a year. Job is not done but definitely going in the right direction. Disappointing couple of weeks for the footballers. Outside promotion, its been a disappointing year on the football front from st pats exit in the leinster club championship to the u20s exit to louth, the minors not showing much and now the seniors capulating in the tailteann cup. It is hard to see us staying in division 3 but alot can change in the next nine months. Hopefully some new talent will appear in the county club championship. Optimism is a necessity for being a wicklow supporter; i learned that over the lsst 30 years. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2037 - 20/05/2023 19:41:19 2479816 Link 0 |

Delusion also helps.

Absolutely; delusion definitely helps.

I too am following Wicklow for over 50 yrs and that old feeling of de- ja vous that I had driving home from Aughrim last week was sickening. The same old story - different year , different players. I could literally write a book on what might have been or what should have been. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I know I will be attacked here for my pessimism but I have seen this so many, many times over the years. I have blamed everyone from officials, refs, management with wrong selections and substitutions, players doing stupid things in the heat of the moment, county boards- or not doing what needed doing - the whole shooting gallery and still it keeps happening. I just don't know what needs to change or if we as a county, just breed players of a lower standard than that required. I don't believe that for a minute. But, something is wrong. . Better football brains than mine have failed to produce answers to this conundrum. I, perhaps naively, think that both our u20s and u17 teams this year are a lot better than their final positions would put them in the Leinster pecking order. If this is so, what went wrong for them ? Is anybody trying to analyse these campaigns to figure it out ? Anyway, at this stage and my age, I don't think I will ever get to see us even appear in a Leinster Senior final. Sad, but true.
