Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

Where’s the logic in that !

It’s tough being out 4 weeks in a row but its’s better than sitting at home watching some other county taking part. You can only deal with what’s in front of you, with what you have.

Only thing you’d say is the Sunday game might have been better for our lads rather than the Saturday, give us an opportunity of extra 24 hours to get the bodies in order after that punishment yesterday. Don’t care about the opposition, we’ll have a right rattle off Limerick same as we did against Tipp and Galway, fear no one and bring it on I say!

Excellent performance yesterday against an experienced Tipperary outfit. Didn't Dessie perform brilliantly and Barron. Peter Hogan has found his best position at midfield. A special word for the bench especially Monty & Kiely who rescued that game when it looked like it might get away. A word too for O'Brien......a vital save. Great team performance 2 weeks in a row.

Fantastic performance and result, really stood up and steadied the ship after what was a hammer blow of those two goals in a minute after such a great start.

Power of the bench was really on show. I was questioning the long puck outs in the second half. Tide seemed to be turning with Tipp gobblying everything up but Monty with his first contribution won a fantastic ball that looked lost due to sheer persistence and work rate. Layed it off (can't remember who to) but they slotted it over the bar.

Will be rank outsiders going four weeks in a row particularity against such a well conditioned and physical team but you know what stranger things have happened . They'll die with their boots on and that's all we can ask.

I'm not worried about being outsiders, i'm worried if we beat them we will be favourites

Tickets priced €50 for Adults with €10 for kids

Adult tickets pretty dear esp for a semi final

12000 attendance between both counties, which is miniscule. Sure they could of fit more in the terraces yesterday in Cork

Just recovering from the game now 😂

This team showed some character yesterday, and will have a right cut off Limerick next Saturday.. Pity there wasn't a 2 week break to the semi final.. Very unfair to expect a team to go 4 weeks on the trot.. Still, knowing Cahill, he or the team won't use that as an excuse next weekend.. We're playing hurling the way it should be played.

UP THE DÉISE 💙

Yep true

I'd say Covid couldn't stop this current Limerick squad (only a joke relax)

It's a final. Hopefully it's rescheduled 🤞

Some heartbreak but some great moments too esp 2008 and 2017. 2020 was such a great night and will be long remembered

Sadly a lot of those years were filled with top class Cork, Tipp and Kilkenny teams (only Clare in 02 and Limerick in 2007 were our opposition outside of those 3 teams) . Recent years the ultra athletic and skilled Limerick teams have come on the scene

Roll on next Saturday, it's nice to be up against the best. If the Waterford clubs are getting 6000 tickets and I presume the same for Limerick clubs, would that mean at least 8000 tickets might go on public sale.

'07 is the one we need to focus on. Talk about a reversal of roles.

What killed Waterford in 2007 was the provincial champions had to play a quarter final instead of going straight into a semi final. I think it’s the only year that it happened and just our luck. Two games against cork and then bang against limerick in the semi.

I recall Stephen Frampton being quoted in the buildup to the 1998 Munster final (might have been someone else, might have false memory) that playing and losing was never the problem. The problem was the shagging interminable training sessions. Every other amateur sport seems to manage with games every week during the season. I think there is finally an acceptance within the GAA that this can work and spreading the blue riband competitions across the summer in order to 'promote the games' makes too many demands on the players involved. It'll be interesting to see what emerges post-Covid.

Yeah me thinks yet another feck up by the government and its actually 24000 between both semi finals (12000 a match)

Clubs are getting a low enough allocation if it is 24000

It's 24,00 for each semi
