Replying To Kinvara: "No argument from me that Galway have underperformed in Leinster finals but they are there the majority of years, Wexford would classify getting to a Leinster final as a massive achievement and a great year, Galway would view that as the absolute bare minimum. That's just where they are at the moment. Again, I doubt any media would be labelling it a "famous win" had Galway beat Wexford last weekend, and that is just a reflection of where the two counties are https://www.the42.ie/wexford-galway-leinster-6371927-May2024/#:~:text=Galway%200%2D23&text=Wexford%20almost%20certainly%20required%20victory,first%20entered%20Leinster%20in%202009."

Replying To baire: "Now that you have beaten Carlow and Antrim with your All Ireland winning manager sure beating the wounded cats and a west of Ireland team with illusions will be a piece of cake for ye!" Well, I don't want to be getting ahead of myself now :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2742 - 15/05/2024 10:38:10 2544871 Link

Replying To baire: " Replying To Viking66: "[quote=baire: "[quote=Viking66: "[quote=BarneyGrant: "[quote=MesAmis: "I was answering Barney's assertion, 6/7 years. Have Dublin beaten Galway outside of Parnell Park? baire (Galway) - Posts: 1829 - 14/05/2024 11:14:19 Yes, the 2021 win was in Croke Park." Dublin need to beating teams other than Antrim and Galway, so he does have a point regarding our form." You haven't lost to us since 2018"]I haven't given any view or rating here on either Dublin or Wexford, so I find it strange that you know my view better than myself! This talk of superiority from some Wexford posters is a reflection of their own mindsets. Historically ye were successful in Leinster, the second best team but then Offaly came along and took the wind out of your sails which didn't go down well with some of the traditionalists in your county. The Wexford attitude towards Galway for many years was very much a superior one, we were regarded as a Connacht team, without pedigree and of little significance. You still keep reminding us of the many All Irelands we lost as if we were suffering from dementia. Some of the Munster counties have a similar attitude. Galway and Antrim being in Leinster is not irrelevant. It's unfair to both the Leinster teams and the non-Leinster teams. Most Galway hurling people didn't agree with our county board, we wanted an open draw, non-provincial competition. We take no pleasure in taking a Leinster trophy off any Leinster county. I never agreed with it and I still don't! Sin sin anois!"]I don't know what the Wexford attitude was pre 1990s but I do know that in the early 90s Galway and the big 3, Tipp, Cork, Kilkenny, were still the teams who had that bit of an aura after the late 80s. So I don't know what you mean by "without pedigree and of little significance". In 1991 in the 11 years previous you had reached 8 AI finals winning 3. Including what was by the standards of the day an absolute scorefest in 1990."]If you can't go back as far as 1897 you're waishtin your time lad!"]I'm not a vampire:-D Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12503 - 15/05/2024 11:37:21 2544886 Link
Replying To baire: "Who is quietly licking the cream and going for a 5 in a row lads? ;)" That's the bottom line still. Despite another competitive county being introduced into Leinster those damn stripey lads are still winning! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12503 - 15/05/2024 11:39:11 2544888 Link

Replying To baire: "Leave that to your football hat and your non-rating of Roscommon!" If Roscommon beat Dublin and Mayo and are taking top spot we may prepare for the Second Coming :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2742 - 15/05/2024 12:50:59 2544909 Link
I would be expecting Galway and Kilkenny to both win this Weekend. In the other game you would think Wexford should win, but if Carlow sense any nerveness or arrogance in the Wexford camp then a Carlow win could be on the cards! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2285 - 15/05/2024 16:30:36 2544962 Link

Replying To baire: "I don't think so but I'm seriously thinking of leaving this forum altogether for a number of reasons." Ah don't. You are one of the more interesting contributors and we childishly bicker. You also have a sense of humour and I think I did see the now excised reference to a certain player, which was obviously meant to be in that spirit but I can see maybe why it was taken out. Now, back to slagging one another's counties on all sorts of spurious historical bases :-) BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2742 - 17/05/2024 08:43:35 2545200 Link
