Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

If you want me to quote bad times, I can quote an awful lot worse than the last few years. The difference was those teams were always outgunned and any positive result was worth waiting for. This team has enough players and the backup is leagues ahead of previous generations.

The current bunch were shown what needed to be done by Liam Cahill but they said no thanks, we prefer a hug and a pat on the back. Did they respond to getting what they wanted? Did they ****. It’s the county boards fault, it’s the injuries (why is it half our players get soft tissue injuries just when the training is being ramped up?) and then there’s my favourite, the puck out strategy is all wrong. How’s this for a puck out strategy: win at least 50% of the ball that comes your way, learn how to catch or pick cleanly, if you are 40 yards out and unmarked put the ball between the posts instead of wide for a change.

There is no inter county match after Sunday for 9 months yet the club championship won’t start until the end of July. Is hurling too much of a chore for these fellas? It looks to me like the object of the exercise is to get it out of way as quickly as possible. I don’t have any issue with fellas not having the dedication for inter county but **** off so and don’t expect me to be giving my Sundays and money to support them.

Is this more bollocks, knowing lads are injured and still putting their name on the team sheet.

If it is, it is juvenile stuff.

Ah give it up

That was smart on Fitzgerald's part to take him in there.

Better be careful laying da full blame with da management…..😡

Possibly phase 1 will be done for July of this year with it hosting club games

The whole GAA scene in this county is a **** mess atm. Maybe Thurles/Cork as our home venue again next year if Walsh Park will still be a building site

They won’t tell us the full story till after the season tickets are sold . It will be a hard sell next year away in Ennis and limerick and 2 in thurles .

I don’t blame anyone for leaving it off this weekend. Nothing to play for, yet again, the expense of it, the lack of fight, the crazy tactics. I don’t know whether to admire or question the sanity of those who are going outside of players families maybe.

I would be expecting a number of changes to the named team Sunday, fringe players will get chances. Not sure why he’s named what he has as it pisses people off for no reason.

I presume you’re referring to Monty above (apologies if you’re not). His shooting has really deserted him currently, but I think he’s been one or our better performers overall in the campaign. If he could have found his scoring touch he’d have had an excellent campaign. Played midfield against Limerick & reverted to wing back at times too during games. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him there again this weekend.

Anyone any idea why I cant print or transfer 4 tickets for tomorrows match, I'm not going but want to pass them on FOC but cant print or transfer.

Wonder has it anything to with the fact there are shedloads of tickets to buy on the site, whatever the reason its p* poor that I cant pass on 4 tickets ?

Will screen shots work ?

Doesn't make him wrong about the players always been let off the hook and the manager taking most of the blame

Was thinking similar - a great game, both teams dying in their boots

Hard to know what to expect from this match ..... Tipp threw everything at Limerick last week ; how they do motivate themselves to the same degree against a team already doomed ; they probably won't beat us out the gate, so.

On the other hand, can the unthinkable happen, i.e. Waterford will win ! Just as a rout would hasten Davy's departure, a win would prolong the reign. At the very least, Waterford need to 'put in a performance' but I thought the same for Cork & Clare matches. With nothing left to lose, Davy should throw caution to the wind but you fear that you will end up covering your eyes as the game goes on.

Nil desperandum !

As bad as it sounds I do hope we get a hammering again today so Davy has no choice to leave or county board give him his marching orders. Worst thing to happen is we go out and beat tipp which will just in turn paper over the cracks and means we’re left with him for another year. Long time season ticket holder and haven’t missed a game in years but didn’t even bother making the trip today just don’t have the heart for it unfortunately. Something big needs to change or we’re looking at a seriously bad few years ahead

Galway right know are starting to look like Waterford.
