Waterford FC Thread

Cork have announced they've signed Britton... bit of a disaster for us, not only losing him but to Cork too which strengthens them for the rest of the season.

Bit of a stinker. Surprised that he was attracting interest at League 1 level but ended up in the Irish First Division - I wonder if Cork are offering silly money again?

I think Cork have that top spot nailed down in any event, Waterford are set up for a playoff spot.

Piss poor tonight..

All gone to **** very quickly alright.

The first impression of the new manager wasn't good and it hasn't improved as of yet but I really do think losing Britton has been huge.

That will be that anyway, another year in the first division beckons and the likes of Patterson will be off, he is better than this level.

Add to that we have no idea who will even own the club next year in all honesty and it's just more of the same for this dysfunctional club. Will still be there but it's a depressing venture supporting this club.

Interesting article

I’m saying the Cork/Irish Examiner does not apply the same level of analysis, probing and frankly insults to Cork as it does to Waterford. Writing things like “Now if that old banger was say, Waterford FC” is a case in point.

Thanks for posting this article. I learned something in terms of how a value might be placed on a club.

I think the figure that's apparently been placed on Waterford is way off myself, particularly given the lack of fixed assets and money owed to creditors. Some of the figures regarding goodwill and potential future earnings are very ambitious to put it mildly.

However, Brexit has offered a huge opportunity for LOI clubs in terms of youth development. Given the number of internationals coming through from the region, a club like Waterford should be well placed to generate a sustainable business model based on youth development if they have their house in order.

nope, Ian Mallon wrote the article, as it says on the article, and he specializes in stuff like this. Anthony Daly is a hurling manager and his face is on the side for advertisement or whatever.

Disgraceful defending by the blues last night. Shocking goals to concede in the last second but it must be said....the display from the officials really took some beating. It was the worst I can remember and that's saying something considering how bad the officials are in this country. It was never a red, Longford were absolutely filthy and should easily have had one or two sent off. Constant fouling from start to finish. The 4th official spent the whole second half looking for arguements. At one stage even the Longford bench ran to him to plead for him to watch the match instead of argueing with the blues bench. Decent crowd last night but now we basically have glorified friendlies for the rest of the season now until the play offs excluding the FAI Cup.

Frustrating night last night between losing to a last gasp goal and again from a set piece, the dreadful refereeing and another delay to the start of the 2nd half because of floodlights not coming on.

It's a break from the league next week with the FAI Cup game away to St Patricks Athletic on Sunday afternoon.

I would say he has potential, good man to lead the line, kinda reminded me of Mikey O'Connor when he was here. Could have done with more gametime last year but fell out with the manager.

Has potential but doesn't lead a athletes life shall we say.
