The attendance last Saturday in Wexford Park was a disgrace but as I've said before those who were there were treated to an entertaining night with real GAA around them. This Sunday for every genuine fan in the park there will be the bandwagon jumpers who will drive the boot into the hurlers the very minute anything goes wrong.

sunday will be real gaa too.i hate people who think you are only a fan if you go to every game/sport.will you be in kilkenny for the minor hurling on sat?no,me neither.but that doesnt make me less of a fan or want them to win.same with minor/u8/u12/u14/u16/junior footballers.
it is unfair,insulting to call hurling support bandwagoners.there was a fine brigade when wexford played tyrone/dublin in our pomp,was that wrong too?
you whinge about people going ("bandwagon jumpers"),and then whinge about people not going ("disgrace").
which do you want?
people follow success.people have lives beyond gaa.get used to it.the day of gaa being the only day out is long gone.

Lad I can't think of them all now, you're after putting me on the spot! He told me himself it was 11 anyway. I'm fairly sure that players to make their championship debut in 2015 included Naomhan Rossiter, Simon Donohue, Syl Byrne, Kieran Butler, Eoghan Nolan, John Tubritt anyway. I think that might have been the first year on the panel for Kevin Rowe, Jim Rossiter, Donal Shanley, Robbie Vallejo, Paul Curtis, Jim White and Glen Malone too.

as offaly have learned,an outsider is not the answer.
put money into underage coaching,etc instead of outside man

well to be fair considering he is a teacher in Rosslare i wouldnt exactly class paul as an outsider.

He is here for the Qualifiers anyway so hopefully we can get some more games and get the new guys more championship football.

To me, so far from what I've seen, McLoughlin is no better or worse than any manager or coach we've ever had, or even any club manager in the county at the moment. Yeah, big player turnover, but he did cast aside some experience too. And player turnover is always huge in Wexford. I don't buy that this is the biggest turnover ever.

To entrust the team for the next few years to a lad with no pedigree, even in the club game, I don't think is right for us. Not at all. Don't care if he's an outsider or a local. I've no idea where he got the job from, and nothing I've seen makes me think he will bring the team anywhere.

Lads anyone in at the Minor game? five scores for the whole game, is this age group not supposed tp play the game with abandon and go for it? is that what is wrong with the game in Wexford right now?

didnt make it either,we just cant seem to make any inroads at underage in either code.head-scratching.

Was in at it. Just not at the races at all. 7-2 down at half time and only really got into it right at the end when Laois had made a few subs and the game was over. Couple of late goals just put a gloss on the scoreline.

The mentors are doing good work with the lads. They've trained well and been organised. But sometimes the quality just isnt there. For whatever reason, this U17 group across the hurling and football are one of the weaker bunches in years. Thats no slight on the players, just a reality that there have been better teams over the previous years. It happens, for no real reason at times. Next years hurlers should be decent, quite a few U16s on this years panel I believe. Both teams this year are doing as well as they can, they've trained hard and worked well.

You would hope common sense prevails ... and the match is set for Sunday or Saturday at 1 or 2 so supporters can get in both games ...." it's the hope .....".

Also am I the only one that has the feeling of what if having seen laois and w/meath .

wexcore (Wexford) - Posts: 740 - 28/05/2018 11:04:04    2104631

lads,a thought here,would you be willing to concede home advantage to play the match in kilkenny before the hurling?
i dont know myself,but it is the only way there would be more than a few hundred at it,lets face it.
a clash is barely avoidable otherwise,with waterford in the hurling on sunday also.
