Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

I just listened to the interview he did with Wooly. I'm even more confused. But he seems to be dealing with stress and anxiety when it comes to playing for Waterford, for sure. Relief is a word he used to be not playing. I think it was a bit too heavy for Wooly, he didn't push him on it (which is only fair).

Senior Football match vs Longford moved from Fraher Field to Carriganore and then Ballygunner

Farce

How is it a farce? The match was down to be played in Fraher field. After the heavy rainfall on already saturated ground the match was moved to Carriganore, which after a pitch inspection was also deemed unplayable again because of the heavy rainfall. So it was moved to Ballygunner and played under lights without incident, quite a decent game in fact.

I'm no fan of the County Board but what exactly was farcical about the situation and what should have occurred instead? Genuine question.

In fairness that was a decent showing yesterday from the footballers. Looks like they were ahead for a good bit too.

I know there’s trolls on here constantly in about banishing the football team etc but I actually wonder if there would be merit in going back to junior level even just for a year, it might actually generate a bit of success and give the county football setup the kick in the backside it needs

Just see there that PJ Fanning who played at corner back for Mary I on Saturday last in fitzgibbon final is a son of Pauric Fanning... PJ played very very well.. spent a good chunk of game on Mark Rodgers... i was really impressed by him.. has he played for Waterford up along???

He a spare man for the most part.

Curtain rasier for Sundays game is an Under 20 challenge game between Cork and Galway. No reason our county board cant do the same for either the Wexford or Kilkenny home games given both are throwing in after/at 3pm

Shane McGrath previews the Cork game in his article on the RTE website. He does manage to mention they are playing Waterford but that's the only reference to us.

Nothing re supporters club, which officers had previously mentioned would be launched between rounds 2 and 3 of the league.

Sponsorship, still working through the formalities seemingly. With it being a multinational company rather than the local TQS, this is a more complicated procedure. Still very frustrating it hasn’t been done by now and has left our finances in significant bother.

Clubs buying 2 10 year season tickets at half price to provide some cash for the board while no sponsor in place. Clubs will get some return from this deal at least.

I'm not having a go at you as there have been issues in both league games and the pre season game against Tipp, but the lull after half time is the sort of thing that may be due to heavy training at the moment. It's a fair point to raise but it is one I'll wait for championship to see what happens then.

After the first round of league games he did a review and I noticed he mentioned every (top 8 hurling) county apart from ourselves. I let it go on the basis that we had only played Offaly and we've done little to warrant even being spoken about anyway but seeing yet again not even so much as a line or two on Waterford is a bit insulting.

Must be those Superdry or A&F t-shirts he paints himself into cutting off the air to his brain.

Lads like Shane McGrath and Michael Duignan.....you'd wonder how the hell they get media gigs! They offer nothing except sh*te talk and pander to the 'traditionalists'. Shane McGrath whinged about yellow sliothars last year....! I'll say no more.

All depends on the numbers really. I'd heard that TQS were getting sponsorship at sub market rate, so worth putting time into this to maximise incomes. It's a short term cashflow issue if we end up increasing our sponsorship by 20%+ for next few years.

Possibly a requirement for lights for some of the early ones. But beyond that I don't know.
