Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

ballygunner lad pulled on mount sion fella. 2/3 from each side came in and all bg parents and mentors got involved. Ms coaches came across then

Pity we don't have a Senior Management team to take a look at the weekends games unless the CB are working behind closed doors

I’ve always been of the view that parents should not be on the sideline when their own kids are involved, a recipie for disaster

It's a very tricky one. In the ideal world you wouldn't have any parent involved in a team that their child is on.

But, in the majority of clubs at least I'd imagine, most people start off coaching when their kids start getting involved.

I do know of a few clubs in my county who allow parents to be involved up to around u12's and then they can't stay involved with a team that their child is on - the argument for is that hopefully that parent is now happy to coach with the club and will get involved in any team that is needed - not just their own child's team.

emotional intelligence deficiency is the issue with parents doubling up as mentors / coaches……another moronic feature of certain coaches or those who think they are, is in the pre match team talk they stress to the underage players not to query or show annoyance at an decision the ref makes as he/she will not change their minds but once match starts these apes are relentless in their questioning and appealing (usually f words and verbal abuse) to the ref for better decisions……’steps’ or ‘push in back’ being the main cries and in hurling ‘chop’…😡😡😡

Christ Tallow must of been on the piss instead of training

not a typo

tallow a proud hurling club that always produced quality players have been struggling in recent years. Surprised they’re still senior to be honest

Last year, 11 point defeat against Mount Sion, 10 point defeat against Fourmile and a 16 point defeat against Clonea in the pre lim.

Not really sure why this is a surprise, watching Tallow last year they were poor, as someone else said a good proud hurling club but they have been struggling.

hope Clare win just makes Waterfords Munster championship effort look worse if cork win . Whoever loses with Limerick out of the way it will feel more devastating then normal .

Goes to a replay if it's a draw and would not be one bit surprised if that's the result.Hard to believe that drawn final was 11 years ago, great day for our minors

Hope Clare win and only person I'd be happy for if Cork win is Patrick Horgan (RTE will mill the **** out of his story)

why does ‘hoggy’ deserve his all Ireland medal any more than the multitude of other hurlers and a lot of waterford ones at that who never got one……it’s nauseating how the media and guys such as ‘Marty’ ( I once had a free car) continually make a pt of referring to this. Yes he’s a good hurler but he’s hardly one of the best ever……? Ref tomorrow is an absolute Ape…..hopefully he’s not the talking point…don’t think I’ve ever been as indifferent about a final……slight favouritism for low-Han but when you go back his playing days he was a hard one to like…..also as Marty is from Clare will we be spared from him in the commentary box…..and hopefully duignan is in Troon cheering on Lowry in the British open..🤣🤣

Any news on a new manager yet.. club championship started and no management in place yet that could be watching games

I'm imagining potential management teams are still looking at games unless there involved etc

Hope it's not as long as the FAIs search for a new Ireland manager

Tis a hard watch now tbh

Not saying we would of been in Croke Park bit if only one of our lads lifted one of the Tipp players over the sideline or that umpire in Ennis got confused and waved wide
