Replying To TerribleFootwork: "He was carrying hurls for the Galway game anyway, think he was sitting with subs last week too." Cool. We have some freetakers who take frees for their club on the panel. Would be great if one or some can make the step up onto the team. Cian Byrne, Ross Banville, Conor Foley, Seamus Casey, Cathal Doyle, and Mark Byrne all take frees for their clubs. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 19011 - 09/02/2024 17:08:07 2525251 Link
Exact same 15 and subs named as last week so I'd be surprised to see no change. TerribleFootwork (Wexford) - Posts: 1760 - 10/02/2024 00:45:51 2525281 Link
Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Exact same 15 and subs named as last week so I'd be surprised to see no change." Think the same. I'd say there will be changes ok. Hope the rain stays away. No parking at Clonard church also. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 19011 - 10/02/2024 09:06:52 2525289 Link
It may be a closer game than some people think. Offaly are not top tier yet but they seem to be on the right track with the success of their u20s and doing really well with the college teams. They will not fear Wexford today so we will have to be on our guard for the full 70 minutes. Their corner forward Screeney will be marked very tightly or if not he could give us plenty of headaches. Good to see the same team out. A bond is building up with these lads and they are getting familiar with each others style of play. The draw against the cats will give them confidence but they must not take their eye off the ball. Let's not do a Westmeath on it !!!!. I do think we'll win but it won't be a stroll in the park. Verdict--- wexford by 5 points. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 657 - 10/02/2024 11:50:19 2525304 Link

They will have closer to their championship team out than we will have, and I agree I don't think there will be a huge gap between the sides, especially as the pitch will be heavy which will favour the slower players. If the lads play their best hurling they should win, buy if they are on any way complacent we could lose just as easy. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 19011 - 10/02/2024 13:24:16 2525310 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Think the same. I'd say there will be changes ok. Hope the rain stays away. No parking at Clonard church also." I knew growing up in social housing near the park would come in handy some day. Thankfully never have to worry about parking. Literally 5 minute walk from the home place.

For all the hurling Offaly have done, we're doing well to be only 2 points down Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4377 - 10/02/2024 17:38:34 2525341 Link

Joke. Offaly forward pulled Charlie mcguckians helmet at won a free Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4377 - 10/02/2024 18:04:44 2525345 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "Joke. Offaly forward pulled Charlie mcguckians helmet at won a free" I have so much respect for what referees do but in the fairness of the game this referee should review this match for his own sake and look at every decision. The Offaly goal was thrown before it was scored. bottletopbill (Wexford) - Posts: 78 - 10/02/2024 18:37:29 2525347 Link
Replying To bottletopbill: "I have so much respect for what referees do but in the fairness of the game this referee should review this match for his own sake and look at every decision. The Offaly goal was thrown before it was scored." Anyone catch either of the sending off on the telly? He was so inconsistent, Offaly got away with so many pulls and high tackles that we got penalised for. Still could have won it, terrible wide by Simon at the end. I don't know why we seemed to take Offaly for granted for most of the game. We only really started playing after Jacko was sent off. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 279 - 10/02/2024 18:46:45 2525349 Link
Plenty to learn from that game. Could see offaly targeted our running game out of defence. A number of poor decisions running into traffic. In reality offaly should of won that game. But like I said the right time of year to learn from it. Jack's sending off was just a terrible decision. Onwards and upwards and hopefully some spring weather Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 169 - 10/02/2024 18:49:41 2525350 Link
Just home now. I hate blaming referees. We were very poor first half and really should have won it at the end but to be fair down to 13 men they showed a lot of fight. Bad miss by Simon to win it at the death he looked very dissapointed in himself. ChinCanHurl (Wexford) - Posts: 304 - 10/02/2024 18:50:38 2525351 Link
Replying To bottletopbill: "I have so much respect for what referees do but in the fairness of the game this referee should review this match for his own sake and look at every decision. The Offaly goal was thrown before it was scored." Blatant throw alright, no idea how the ref missed it. Donohue going for his score at the end with the free man inside cost us the win. Some good spirit shown on a difficult night. Seamus Casey, Chin, Kevin Foley and the Recks were very good. But big problems nearly everywhere else.

Replying To bottletopbill: "I have so much respect for what referees do but in the fairness of the game this referee should review this match for his own sake and look at every decision. The Offaly goal was thrown before it was scored." Jack O Connor was getting the helmet ripped off his head and gave a slight pull back on his opponent's helmet, yet Jack gets the red. Charlie swung wild but was it a sending off? Thought it only glanced off the Offalys guys shoulder. Wexford were poor tonight but like the Kilkenny game we're starting to dominate in the second half but the Jack sending off on an energy sapping wet night like day made it impossible to get the win. Credit to Offaly they brought the hunger and fight to Wexford park. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 1028 - 10/02/2024 18:53:11 2525355 Link
A draw a good result given our flat start, the horrendous rain in the second half (that affected both teams to be fair). Jack's helmet was interferred with first, and more forcibly, and although Charlie's offence was probably more careless, he didn't make contact (unlike some of the more high profile incidents Limerick have gotten away with lately). The most encouraging aspect of the night was the array of scores from our newcomers, seven points from play between them. Thought CBD was excellent and has the look of a young Gizzy to him and, after what I thought was an up and down debut season last year, Conor Foley has really blossomed. No back got individually roasted. Would question Cian Byrne's team-work though, something he needs to work on. Also seemed to be annoyed at being taken off too. I didn't see much diagonal passing apart from a pass to Casey for a point towards the end, and we didn't create one clear goal-chance really which is something I would be immediately looking to address. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1530 - 10/02/2024 18:56:40 2525356 Link

I thought o Connor sending off was awful..if he went then Offaly man should have gone aswell..great interview with rossiter,he said he had no problem with sending off,did interfere with helmet..however Offaly player had a more obvious hold on helmet..I thought ref was very harsh on Wexford and were penalised way more in course of the game..ended up being a good point gained by ye and the last chance should have been scored..against that Offaly had some shocking wides and if they had a reliable free taker would have won..
