For me this final is a win win situation. Either a 29 or 58 year famine will end. I suppose one way of looking at it is Waterford's famine is exactly twice that of Galway's. More of us will look at the sweeper system versus the more orthodox style of Galway. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 16/08/2017 12:05:21 2034128 Link 7 |
Galway. I always shout for Galway in the hurling and want Liam west of the Shannon. Having said that if Waterford win I'd be delighted for them.

Even as a Galway man I'd love to see Waterford win it, but obviously not this year. think Galway have to win it this year, our record in finals is as bad as Mayo if not worse (4 out of 23), and I think yet another final loss would be just too much to bear for both this team and supporters. So I'm with witnof on this one, Galway this year, and then Waterford can win it in 2018 :) gilly0512 (Galway) - Posts: 1176 - 16/08/2017 12:47:20 2034165 Link 0 |

Waterford for me. Longer wait and find it harder to get to finals than Galway so could be their only chance. Galway can win All Irelands in both codes too, this is all Waterford have. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 16/08/2017 12:53:35 2034170 Link 0 |

Waterford, they have been waiting longer and Galway would be the more likely loser to come back and win a title if they lose this one. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 16/08/2017 14:05:20 2034214 Link 0 |
Either way I'll be happy but I'll go with Waterford cause they've got Austin Gleeson. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 16/08/2017 14:07:54 2034217 Link 0 |
To be honest I'd be happy to see either team win and would find it hard to pick. I'd suppose I'd like to see the team that plays best on the day and deserves it most lift the Liam McCarthy. GaaGaa78 (UK) - Posts: 285 - 16/08/2017 14:15:08 2034225 Link 0 |
Next year's All Ireland final Laois v Limerick. Laois out to bridge a 103 year gap. Limerick 45. Carlsberg don't do hurling finals, but if they did.... Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 16/08/2017 14:15:22 2034226 Link 9 |
Great final. I would be pleased to see Waterford win. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 16/08/2017 14:17:33 2034229 Link 0 |
Wouldn't it be great to see Mayo and Tyrone in the football.. I know Tyrone's gap is only 9 yrs but the final would be a fresh pairing and Mayo would have no fear. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 16/08/2017 14:24:16 2034234 Link 5 |
Don't buy that Waterford are great supporters, we played them 2-3 years ago in Nowlan Park and of 20k attendance, 15k were from Wexford at a cautious guess. Having said that, I do hope they win for the likes of Brick Walsh, Kevin Moran, Maurice Shanahan. I think there is an All-Ireland in Galway after this year, I am not so sure re Waterford.
