Replying To Viking66: "Same reality as there's been the last 15 odd years CC so it's not really bumping into it like it's some sort of surprise. Actually surprised at a stats man like you not being aware of our record against Dublin. And obviously like Barney you are completely unaware of how the club championships over here run these days!" You'd know far than me about Wexford GAA than me. But a few weeks ago on here plenty Wexford people were talking about winning Leinster, that's what I meant about bumping in to reality last Saturday.

Replying To Doylerwex: "Was thrilled for our 20s tonight wexford hurling badly needed that. Great for offaly too" Yes indeed. Great to see a Wexford Offaly final. Offaly appear to be making great strides underage but the hard work is getting these young teams ready for senior LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 2697 - 11/05/2023 09:48:56 2477489 Link

Replying To Cockney_Cat: "You'd know far than me about Wexford GAA than me. But a few weeks ago on here plenty Wexford people were talking about winning Leinster, that's what I meant about bumping in to reality last Saturday." I don't get it. Wexford may not have played their best but were only beaten by two points. It is totally disrespectful to Dublin who are also trying to climb the ladder and a hurling force. We always get this when the under dog wins, calling the opposition a bad team. Why should Wexford people not have aspirations of winning Leinster a few weeks ago ?

Replying To skirge7: "Joe McDonagh winner will place 3rd in Leinster (currently Dublin). Do you think they could give them a game? It's looking like Offaly at the moment who haven't lost a game this year. Nor have Offaly u20s who beat Meath, Westmeath, Antrim, Galway and Dublin so far. Offaly could well catch them out in Tullamore." They could spring a shock but its ridiculous that theyre brought into Liam McCarthy. It's like your counties Intermediate champions having the chance to win the Intermediate and senior cship in the same season. You couldn't make it up. The final should be on before the senior final and give them some other benefit such as a holiday tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 11/05/2023 14:21:06 2477620 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "You'd know far than me about Wexford GAA than me. But a few weeks ago on here plenty Wexford people were talking about winning Leinster, that's what I meant about bumping in to reality last Saturday." I think Wexford should have realistic ambitions of winning Leinster. There's nothing wrong with that. They beat Kilkenny last year and know they have it in them to win it. In 2019 Galway had a genuine belief of winning Leinster. Instead, we lost to Dublin in our last game and ended up out of the whole championship on scoring difference, having beaten Kilkenny earlier as well. The only result which could have put us out in the other game was a Wexford-Kilkenny draw, which is exactly what happened. In last year's championship, with Kilkenny losing to Wexford, any result other than a Galway win against Dublin would have put Kilkenny out of the championship entirely. However, Galway won and Kilkenny got through. They ended up in the All-Ireland final. The margins can be very small. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2321 - 11/05/2023 14:24:02 2477624 Link

I don't think Donoghue will be taking Offaly - assuming it is they and IF we get third spot - lightly in the way the previous regime did, They were watching Tipp in Thurles the same day as the MCD final!

What's the point being in a competition if you don't think you might win it? Reality is we lost to Dublin. Again. Like last year. Won't stop us thinking we might win it next year either!

I know it's a massive IF but if Kilkenny lose to Dublin and Wexford and if we beat Westmeath then Kilkenny are out. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15731 - 11/05/2023 16:37:26 2477690 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "You'd know far than me about Wexford GAA than me. But a few weeks ago on here plenty Wexford people were talking about winning Leinster, that's what I meant about bumping in to reality last Saturday." That's the nature of sport. We have it in us but aren't doing the business. It's very fine margins at this level. We drew with Westmeath after dominating but leaving them in it. We threw it away against Dublin (twice). Should have put Clare away but didn't, and Kilkenny beat them well after losing to us. There's nothing that says we shouldn't be competing at the top end of leinster.

Replying To Viking66: "I know it's a massive IF but if Kilkenny lose to Dublin and Wexford and if we beat Westmeath then Kilkenny are out." If Clare beat Waterford, Cork beat Clare and Tipp beat Limerick theyre out! I'll give you 1000/1 for either to happen! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 12/05/2023 09:07:57 2477767 Link
Replying To Viking66: "I know it's a massive IF but if Kilkenny lose to Dublin and Wexford and if we beat Westmeath then Kilkenny are out." There's invariably at least one result in Leinster that goes completely against predictions. Not had one yet - okay Antrim drawing with Dublin was unexpected but probably inconsequential in terms of qualifications - so Dublin getting something from Kilkenny or Galway or Wexford beating Cats be the ones to watch. I'd say last is more likely than first two, although Donoghue should have Dublin right for a least a good performance in last two games.

Replying To tiobraid: "If Clare beat Waterford, Cork beat Clare and Tipp beat Limerick theyre out! I'll give you 1000/1 for either to happen!" Well maybe not, Tiobraid. If all that was to happen, but Limerick beat Cork, Limerick and Clare would have 4 points each and score difference would come into play.

Replying To bloodandbandage: "I'll take the 1000/1 on the latter! €2 stake..." Good odds. You'd only get about 25/1 if that in bookies. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3524 - 12/05/2023 10:43:27 2477796 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Yup. All to play for for everyone still Tiobraid!" I am fierce nervous of the Waterford match they will hardly paly the full forward line named in these positions ,but if they did and got a decent supply of ball they could fairly thump you they are missing great hurlers but when you read there team you get Goosebumps as despite the injuries they still have some marvellous hurlers. They have put us to the Sword on more than one occasion when least expected and while I would love they to qualify Clare simply have to win to have a chance of qualification themselves. Derek McGrath had a very good article in todays paper he seems to be saying to Davy to forget the stupid nonsense with Logan and focus on Waterford. I will be very happy with a 1 point win clooney (Clare) - Posts: 985 - 12/05/2023 12:15:08 2477831 Link
