Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

Does anyone have any idea about tomorrow……can waterford do what Clare did tonight and put in a massive performance and pull off a big win that is so badly needed given this season’s abysmal performances in every grade (Camogie excluded)……on paper there is nothing to fear from the cork line up…..but there are plenty examples of being blown away by cork teams in the past let’s just hope tomorrow is not one of them.

All the best to both Waterford teams today. Hopefully more will travel today than last Sunday. No doubt the cork fans will be out in force. Hard to know how the game is going to go. Last night’s result has blown the whole thing wide open. Will we start as selected or will Aussie come in. He was involved alot when he came on last Sunday but just didn’t seem to be moving at 100%. Anyone know what the story is with Patrick Curran? Looked good under Cahill last year but just hasn’t got much of a look in under Davy. Is it form or injury?

Best of luck to Davy and the players today. Go out and hurl like we can and hopefully we'll get over the line today.. We're as good as anyone else on our day.. We shouldn't fear that Cork team, go out and tear into them.. Should be a good Waterford crowd up in the Pairc today.

UP THE DEISE

The very best of luck to Davy and the lads today (as well as the ladies camogie).

Simply have to do it, we would’ve known from a long way out there was a good chance we wouldn’t beat Limerick in the opening game and that this game was the one big target. I’d nearly go as far as saying a loss today and we’re out as it would be difficult to see us beating both Clare (particularly after their huge confidence boosting win last night) and a resurgent Tipp in Thurles.

Up the Deise

first glorious mystery

Shocking, absolutely shocking

One point from play says it all.

Cork showing us how to play against the wind. Davey was always a terrible choice

Some sh%^* spoken about playing against the wind !!

Two games in already basically out of the championship. I'm sick and tired of this team

Pathetic

I said I wouldn’t judge this team until after the cork game and now look at it . Frankly it’s embarrassing at this stage. What’s the problem what’s the solution ?. The day outs in croke park seem a lifetime away . Are these players not as good as we they think they are ? We’ve seen the state of the minor and under 20 squads and it doesn’t bode well . Who is responsible from the strength and conditioning of the Waterford players is it the same as last year or somebody new ? Am not joking when I say never mind the Gaelic Football maybe it’s time we have a review of the state of Hurling in the country . It’s depressing stuff .

A tactical masterpiece from the management today. Last week’s performance at the time looked very, very good but it could have been that Limerick were in 2nd gear. The decision making today was just awful and while the players deserve criticism, I’m not going to slate anyone because for me it’s all in the coaching, or lack of it.

What on earth is that former rugby clown’s role with this team? If it’s some sort of fitness role he needs to be binned off because they look half a yard off the pace. The year is over now, we’re not going to win two on the bounce especially not after today. If we had played Cork last week and ran Limerick to a couple of points today then you’d have a bit of hope but the players body language with 10 mins to go wasn’t great. Hard to pick themselves up again now.

Davy out

Can we go into the Joe McDonagh
