Honestly it’s about time they scrapped that cringeworthy nonsense. I find RTE fairly unwatchable these days it’s gone so PC and I include the Sunday game at that. Any institution that places Marty Morrissey as the face and voice of the National game needs to have a serious look at itself. There’s enough insightful build up shows all week on various media channels all week to keep me interested.

exactly add Des Cahill to that list, gave Pat Gilroy a look last Sunday every husband would love to get from their wife.

Patrick's mother is one of the Sullivan's so poor Fly must have known he was going to be contributing to the opposition

What club is Fly Fitzgerald himself?

am i right in saying that this is the first year in about 25 that we have no o'sullivan on the team ?

we had lay lay barry , then billy and shane o'sullivan then phillip and pauric mahony, maybe theres a few gaps in the years but between pauric being injured and mikey mahony not being of age we finally hit a gap

Best of luck today from Leitrim.....am a rarity as a former Leitrim hurler!.....was at yere last final v Kilkenny.....will be a much better game today I think.

sportsfan90 · 13-12-2020 9:34am

Best of luck today from Cork I hope ye end the famine.

I commented here last year about how sad it was to see a legend like Ken McGrath being so downbeat (justifiably) on RTE about where Waterford hurling was at. The turnaround since then has been amazing and certainly one that I didn't predict.

Win or lose today, Waterford are back and will be there abouts for the next few years.

iebamm2580 · 13-12-2020 9:38am

best of luck, hope ye stop Ciaran Careys predicted drive for 5.

I never knew Barry was related to the O’Sullivans.

I know there is a few younger lads with the O’Sullivan surname playing underage for BG, so I’m sure the great tradition will continue well into the future.

Best of luck to the team today. A little rub of the green, which we’re due, and we might just get over the line.

JohnGreenFan · 13-12-2020 10:16am

The excitement for today is something else lads, roll on 3:30pm!! Really hoping we can get over the line today, cmon the Deise

Dexpat · 13-12-2020 10:57am

After 61 years hopefully the day has finally dawned. C'mon the Deise.

Absoultely bucketing down here in Dublin today. I know it's meant to clear up but I hope the pitch will be ok. I wouldn't complain if we won it 0-5 to 0-4 in a mud bath though!

Speakerboxx · 13-12-2020 11:27am

Best of luck lads today. Play with confidence and self belief. Hope ye get there. It be great for the game of hurling.

Best of luck today lads from Galway . Was beside some Waterford supporters in 2017 when we ended our own wait and they were class people . Clapped and waited while David Burke made his speech . Not an easy thing to do . I said to them that day I hope yer day comes soon . Please god it’s about to .

Tipperary animal lover · 13-12-2020 12:29pm

Best of luck to ye today lads, i know we don't see eye to eye in hurling but would love to see this group of players get their hands on the celtic cross medals, your a joy to watch on the field, all the best from a south tipp man

banner4change · 13-12-2020 12:43pm

Just want to add my best wishes to the Deise men today from this Clare poster.

From you high workrate to your swashbuckling style of hurling Waterford have been a breath of fresh air led by a brilliant management team by the brilliant Liam Cahill.

It’s been a long time since the proud county have had their hands on the Liam McCarthy and If you play with the fearless and entertaining brand of hurling that has been one of the outstanding features of this year’s championship then come just after 5 today your long drought for all Ireland glory might come to an end. Hope that you play with NO sweeper and just go for leather, no holds barred and burst a gut for both team and county.

If I was to call it I believe that ye have all the tools to come out on top and like us here in Clare in 1995 the whole county will stand still and hopefully you will wave your white and blue flags high in the sky when Fergal Horgan blows his full time whistle.

Best wishes to all posters from Limerick and Waterford but it’s the Deise that I will be shouting for. Good luck.

chinguetti · 13-12-2020 1:05pm

Hopefully they'll do it today and good luck to them, strange watching a hurling final with the Xmas tree up!

For those who're curious, it lashed rain all night and this morning until 11 in Dublin (well I'm 6 miles from Croker) but finally getting brighter. Expect a lot of slipping on the pitch which looked worn in patches last night.

Tipperary animal lover · 13-12-2020 1:14pm

Hope it's great Christmas for ye

PTH2009 · 13-12-2020 1:45pm

Day is here, Come on lads bring the cup back to Waterford

Up The Desie

smellyoldboot · 13-12-2020 1:53pm

Shopping done , Childer washed, very little else to occupy self with now, nerves starting to jangle, preparing for the worst, hoping for the best as always. Hopefully this will be it. Cmon the Déise.
