    Support for the County team has been poor for the past number of years..You can blame the managers we've had, the way the teams have played, the lack of funds available in these times to families to attend matches etc. Also a lot of people would rather go to the pub to watch it rather than get up off their arses and support the team.. However it works both ways too.. People aren't thick either, and if teams aren't perceived to be putting an effort in the games , then people will talk with their feet.. Also a lot of people aren't members of Gaa clubs, so have to wait for any leftovers which doesn't help. Personally, I will be in Walsh Park Sunday week supporting our Hurlers.. I think it's set up for us.. nobody is giving Waterford a chance against a Cork team that are being talked up as serious All lreland contenders this year.. Waterford haven't become bad Hurlers overnight, and I expect the game to be a lot closer than many people expect… Hopefully the Waterford public will snap up any remaining tickets sent back in the coming days and get behind the lads next Sunday.

    I think everyone knows there are some top class hurlers and are well capable of causing cork a lot of trouble but the ‘flute’ on the side line is the problem……absolutely anything is possible with this guy….he needs to stick to his ‘extra-circular’ activities such as ‘fittest family’ etc…..his day is done at this level…😡😡

    just listened to the hurling pod, Paul Murphy reckons cork by 10 to 12 points. Could be a long afternoon on Sunday!

    Hard to disagree. Davy can play the interview to the team around 3:00 on Sunday…😡😡…..incidentally did he say anything about Patrick Horgan…..will he start, will he get a full game…..hopefully Damien cahalane is playing…….😀

    I think the number of games doesn't help. If you had two parents and two kids going to 5 games it ain't cheap. Back a few year's ago if you were going to 5 games it meant the team had a very good year.

    Jesus some negativity on here, you'd swear cork were this invincible force heading our way. They didn't set the world on fire in the league or get out of Munster last year, same as ourselves really.

    Every post on here is the same anti Davy stuff regurgitated over and over, yea he's not upto much these days but he's the man in charge so we need to get on with it.

    Since 2018

    Cork have lost 2 games at home

    Clare 2 games at home

    Limerick 2 games at home

    Tipp 4 (record in Thurles is actually quite poor in those years)

    We have lost 3 out of 4, having had 4 less home games than most teams (3 less than Cork).

    I'm expecting a Cork win but saying they'll hammer us in Walsh Park is a big call.

    It would be a real statement in my opinion were they to achieve it, and I don't expect it.

    Minor footballers going to town on Limerick

    Currently leading 3-10 to 4 points about 5 minutes gone in the second half.

    All that matters is this year. You can't rewrite the past.

    An awful pity they conceded the last second goal above in Clare, would have been in Daryl Darcy final and Munster semi final but well done to all involved with this group on their great work and effort put in. Hopefully they will build on this going forward into under 20.

    good win for the footballers nice to see some progress being made at underage level. Well done to the players, paul power and his management team. Am sure they will wonder what might have been with that last second goal against Clare. Hopefully they stick together and continue developing

    Patrick Fitzgerald not named in the match day panel for U20s so, presumably will be in action on Sunday instead.

    Why would you.. He must be showing good form in training..if he's good enough for the seniors, play him. Isn't that what Cody did for years with kilkenny

    Are you for real!

    He's the real deal. Himself and Dessie could go to town on that Cork defence, unless Davy decides to play them as auxiliary sweepers.

    How's everyone feeling about Sunday, is there any cause for optimism? Haven't seen so much as one person tipping a Waterford win which is perfectly understandable so the pressure is all on Cork. Paul Murphy tipping Cork by 10-12 says it all really, surely this level of being written off has to come with a massive response from us.

    What 15 would you go with? Should Tadgh and Prunty start? Neither have played much, if any, hurling this year so it might be a risk to throw them straight in. In saying that, we haven't had a competitive game in over a month anyway so not sure how much it matters. Would probably go with them.

    Depends what you mean by the real deal. Having potential and delivering o not are different things. He’s a nice option to bring off the bench at senior level but that’s about it at the moment.

    In his first senior start he got 3 points from play, Waterford winning the match. Given that was the last championship match we played, why would you think he should now be dropped? Especially given Stephen Bennett is likely not available to start

    I don't rate Tipperary this year. Haven't got the firepower. Weakest Tipp forward line i can remember. Clare, Cork and Limerick to come out of Munster.

    Billy Nolan was excellent at sweeper / centre back the same day. Should he also start?

    Touche, I wouldn't. But then if he'd backed that up in the league it would be a different story.

    Fitzgerald has been injured, I'd certainly be giving him a good run out at a minimum.
