Replying To baire:  "What are you on about with your 'feelings of superiority'? Show me one sentence where I have expressed a 'feeling superiority'. That's total rubbish and you know it. I have a fair idea where it's coming from. It's all stems from the fact that Galway are playing in the so called Leinster championship, ye believe it has cost ye and you can barely hide your anger or how much you detest us."
Galway playing in Leinster is pretty irrelevant to me at this stage. The only thing that annoyed me about it was some Galway supporters complaining about travelling to places that are closer to some parts of Galway than they are to me. Yes we would likely have won more had Galway not been in Leinster, but at the same time I've enjoyed all my trips up there.
As regards feelings of superiority Galway posters have posted numerous times your view that you rate ourselves and Dublin as being inferior hurling counties or teams, or posts to that effect. Thats also annoying, patronising, and in the recent past just not true. It's not even true over the history of the GAA either.
Finally I don't detest you. After Wexford and Limerick, Clare and Galway would be the next 2 of the top nine counties I'd like to see win things. And that's been the case since the early 90s.

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.

Ah come on. It is not patronising for Galway fans to suggest they should be beating Wexford or Dublin. Galway are in a different stage of development at this moment in time to both of those teams

Do you think it's patronising for Limerick fans to say they should get out of Munster?

Also Wexford just recently beat Galway in the hurling championship for the first time in over 25 years, so yes it has been true recently that Galway have been the better team

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!

Slagging one another is part of it all.

There is undoubtedly a bit of an edge between Dublin and Galway in hurling which I'm not sure where it came from really, although footballers always hated one another and regularly bate the lard out of each other in olden days. As country knows!

Dublin hurling people know our place in the universe so it does provide pleasure beyond the usual when beating Galway who - and maybe this is a good thing on their part - always and invariably assume they only have to turn up to beat us. Which is not the case. Galway have won All Irelands and come close when we haven't been serious competitors for other than the Daly period and maybe when Lar was there 89/90.

Mind you, I always got that impression about Galway and Waterford as well, despite Waterford coming out the best on quite a few big days. Some epics in fact including one in Thurles day we beat Limerick in 2011 or 2012.

Anyway, a lot of skelping to be done over the next two weeks so báin súip as :-)

We've discussed at length in recent weeks how misleading that statistic actually is.

Here's one.. Wexford are the only Liam McCarthy county with a 109% record in all Ireland finals in the last 30 years.

I recognize that is a ridiculous statement. It's true. But totally meaningless.
