So Tom Devine is such a weak character he would allow a statement to be written on his behalf and release it!!

Waterford players have proven before that they are willing to oust a manager if they deem that they are not worthy of the position. Who can blame them based on the level of commitment they need to give and sacrifices they make.

Thus it is evident that McGrath has the backing of the the team whether you like or not.

Not weak by Tom no....Derek took advantage of the situation to his own advantage

Agree Robo, he is gone. Time to move on.
I know people who have done medicine in UCC and a lot of them have gone on similar trips.

his statement was not going to be anything other than polite and gracious ,but the way i see it is ,he may as well go off on a holiday ,he is busting his balls training and then has to sit out every match while he looks on at the unfolding chaos that is Mc Grath.s brand of hurling ,watching many non scoring forwards get in ahead of him ,he will not get a game ahead of the Brick ,he knows it ,mc Grath knows it ,so its off to the sunshine

Am I reading this correctly?

you think brick walsh should not be on the Waterford team?

:eek:

the longer I watch hurling matchs the more I realise that half the lads watching haven`t the faintest idea whats going on in front of them or how things happened. they just look from the program to the scoreboard and that's it

do we have a decent shot at the Munster Intermediate Title this year ???, i think Tipp are not putting a team in it this year and we are playing Cork in the semi final.

It could be a big ask for the under 21s to retain the title, we play Cork at home in the semi final and if we get through that we have to travel for the final. Cork seem to be all out for the under 21 this year with a strong management panel led by John Meyler and they have already played a few games

Going by last week our minor hurlers may not be strong enough to progress to a semi final but we have 2 more chances to do it.

Dont knw a whole lot of our under 17 hurlers ???

We are not in the Intermediate Championship this year..Cork only county who entered and are automatically Munster Champions...they'll get 200 All Irelands with this craic.

Waterford are playing winners of Clare and limerick under 25 teams I think which could be played prior to Munster Senior semi final...confusing stuff!!

I'm sorry there was no need to release a statement as it's fairly common knowledge Tom had this in mind since Christmas. Tom is an independent free spirited kind of fella too so nobody would have read anything sinister into it.

Surely even you can see the irony and ridiculousness of the bolded statements, or have i given you too much credit again??

You will have to explain to us no canine sorts so why Devine would go along with it, you know him being an independent free spirit like??

Your agenda against McGrath is fairly obvious and funny at this stage but the fact that you fail to realise that you have actually cast serious assertions on Devine's character is quite amusing, you cant have it both ways!

I can't see where Bluelad has cast any "assertions" (sic), or even aspersions, on Tom's character.

What he has asserted about Tom however, is what many people know and that hurling is not the be all and end all for the lad.

Bluelad has also made reference to Tom's inherent modesty and decency which would never lead him to make such a self important statement referring to his absence from the Waterford set up.

Tom is comfortable enough in his own skin not to bother with that rubbish.

The question is, is our glorious leader?

Thanks for the grammar lesson, you should be a teacher maybe??

He has claimed that Devine passed off a statement written by someone else as his own, why would Devine do that it makes fcuk all sense and only an idiot would believe it.

Correct danganabu, but as you are aware now there are plenty idiots on here. The vast majority of hurling people in Waterford would only laugh at the likes of these clowns with agendas.

I wonder if our u21s will be back to the same old routine of underachieving on the night again this year. Last year was an exception to the norm with an exceptional group of players. This year not quite as much but still some quality lads and it's good that Sean Power has stuck around as he will try bring some of that momentum forward. We should be capable of beating a Cork side that was no great shakes at minor but like I say we are notorious underachievers in this grade. Looking at our best minors of the past few years I'd expect to see a panel featuring GK Billy Nolan/Jordan Henley backs; Conor Gleeson, Conor Prunty, Darragh Lyons, Michael Cronin, Jack Mullanney, MJ Sutton, David Prendergast, Eoghan Murray, Eddie Hayden, Callum Lyons, Forwards; Patrick Curran, Shane Bennett, Colm Roche, Cormac Curran, Peter Hogan, Shane Ryan, Andy Molumby, Aaron O'Sullivan, Neil Montgomery, Jack Prendergast,
Plenty more I'm missing no doubt maybe someone could hazard a guess at naming a team

I'm starting to feel sorry for you at this stage...as pointed out to you above Tom is far too modest and free spirited to even dream of issuing such a statement...clearly "somebody " was starting to panic after gavin and Philip left the previous week and issued that nonsense of a statement.
I've nothing against Derek but there are questions that need to be asked and if you want to go around like his bodyguard off with you but you're being extremely naive

Tom Devine is on twitter and Facebook, ask him there and post his answer here , he is after all an affable fellow so I'm sure he would answer. Maybe that might put an end to this spat here or maybe just take the war of words to private message instead

Save your sympathy for someone a little closer to home lad.

Nothing against Derek lol now you are taking the piss

a quick look at your post history would suggest otherwise. If you are not man enough to admit it how can we take anything else you say seriously??

Look I'm not from Waterford and am one of a very small few here who can 100% say that I have no vested interest here and no club bias, and it is very clear that you and a few others here have a very serious vendetta against McGrath.

I feel sorry for the genuine Waterford supporters.

I will not go in to details here as to how I know but rest assured that I am correct. I think at this point it is fair to say that you have been found out with your agenda. Run along now and make up some more fantasy stories and convince yourself they are true. The only people you are fooling are the fools themselves. Try and contribute something useful to the forum.

Im all for people having their opinions and debating them but this is going on for days and there is no proof that mcgrath wrote the statement, it's only conjecture without proof . Tom has left the panel and good luck to him .

Probably more fair to ask him than having people on here saying he done this and that or didn't do this and that. All I know is that if I left a panel and a statement was released in my name and I didn't have knowledge of it ,I would be quick to publicly point out that the statement was not mine. He hasn't done this so we should just take it as his statement and wish him the best of luck. Move on now lads

Played with 14 men for most of the game, apparently a ridiculous sending off . Were one point down with a minute and had a legitimate penalty turned down, then limerick went up and scored a goal. They are away to Clare next Wednesday night

Mulbert · 12-04-2017 11:36pm

The thread has turned into farce at this stage. It seems one poster, using a number of aliases has hijacked the thread with an agenda

Should be moved to After Hours or the Conspiracy forums.

Although I have a strange admiration/astonishment for the longevity and voracity of the bile and hatred shown. Its ISIS like.

I will continue to peruse for entertainment and the odd few great posts.

Stopitwillya · 12-04-2017 11:41pm

Should you not have called yourself lightbluelad1?

Who cares who wrote the statement.
All that matters is that Waterford perform come championship. If Derek leads Waterford to Liam McCarthy (even playing that horrible style of hurling) he can write his own version of the bible for all anyone cares.

Thank god we have the club games to
look forward to. Have a feeling DLS will get their act together this year. Dumbo is a good manager and should be able to get the best out of them. For me it's either theirs or Ballygunners title.

Steve · 12-04-2017 11:43pm

Ok there are a lot of accusations and discontent about this thread recently.

I'm closing it temporarily so I can get to the bottom of it.

Please PM me or any of the mods with what and who you think is causing the problem.

Thanks.

Steve · 13-04-2017 5:46pm

Just to let you know what's happening, I am discussing this with the GAA mods and I hope to re-open the thread later today, maybe with some conditions attached.

Thanks.

Steve · 13-04-2017 10:41pm

Ok folks, this thread has been closed for 24 hours.

I'm re-opening it on condition that you all follow boards and forum rules.

This means that if you see something that annoys you such as a troll then you don't engage with them, you report the post and let the moderators deal with it.

If any more bickering breaks out, I'll do the same again, close the thread for a day until you all get the message.

If someone is acting the dick, let us know, we'll deal with it.

Thanks.

Thread re-opened.

Some good games in the first round of club championship. I see wins for de la Salle, Ballygunner, Roanmore and mount sion. Lismore and passage very close so maybe a draw and Dungarvan should take Abbeyside. Anyone any thoughts?

Would Mt Sion be as strong favourites as the bookies suggest against fourmilwater? Seems more even tonne

First round often throws up interesting results. I'd think mount sion should be favourites but not long odds on .
