Sorry to say it but I predicted a few reds for Waterford at half time. It's the nasty side of Waterford hurling that's always been there. They arent a bad side ,just having a terrible run. Theres a way to lose and it's not by getting dirty. I wonder what McGrath will write about in his next column...something slong the lines of 'I knows these boi's and they have great character'....ect ect ...baloney. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 02/06/2019 15:51:11 2189809 Link
The glorious Munster Hurling Championship indeed.Just the 20 points in it at the finish with not a dirty belt struck apart from the ones ignored . Wonder what Eamonn Sweeney made of it? Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 02/06/2019 15:54:39 2189810 Link
I said after 10 minutes of the Clare game this is the worst prepared Waterford team since the 80's. Miles off their men, too slow pulling and no game plan. Derek McGrath new the limitations of his team and played a style to avoid getting big beatings like this. I wonder what the nay sayers have to say now. Ken was a great player but he was much quicker to criticize Derek than he is to criticize his club man Fanning who is clueless, shrugging his shoulders and giving no support to his players on the field. Pitying him is not going to get results. Disgraceful what he has done to Brick. One term management team and it will hard for anyone to pick up the pieces.

So you are saying because there was one poor match, everything good that people love about munster hurling was all an illusion? blackspot91 (Limerick) - Posts: 1055 - 02/06/2019 16:15:45 2189818 Link
Replying To blackspot91: "So you are saying because there was one poor match, everything good that people love about munster hurling was all an illusion?" Nope, he's saying that of Munster's 7 counties, 3.5 of them are good at hurling at any one time. You can take that as a dig at Munster if you like, but the rest of us see a provincial system that is meaningless. No Connacht, no Ulster, an ad hoc Leinster, and a Munster that flatters to deceive. Well past time for an overhaul. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 02/06/2019 16:33:01 2189823 Link

At least they got the home games. m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 02/06/2019 16:43:25 2189827 Link

Clare V Tipp in Ennis Ladies and gents. I rest my case. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 02/06/2019 17:38:18 2189852 Link
Replying To Barnowl94: "The glorious Munster Hurling Championship indeed.Just the 20 points in it at the finish with not a dirty belt struck apart from the ones ignored . Wonder what Eamonn Sweeney made of it?" Agree 100 %- most of the games have been very 1 sided in the Munster championship this year and not very exciting because of this. Waterford v Clare was close at the finish but not a great game either. I dont think Waterford would hammer any of the Leinster teams whatever Eamon Sweeney thinks.

Even Waterford as bad as they are playing are still better than Dublin and Wexford. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 02/06/2019 18:06:31 2189856 Link
Replying To Barnowl94: "Clare V Tipp in Ennis Ladies and gents. I rest my case." Galway didn't win a game in the Munster Championship and trotted off back the West because they couldn't handle it. Today was two teams being totally on their game and 2 being off or totally off theirs. It's a ruthless game..fine margins. Next week will be better we hope. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 02/06/2019 18:08:14 2189857 Link
Replying To blackspot91: "So you are saying because there was one poor match, everything good that people love about munster hurling was all an illusion?" last year the gaa fell across this solution as a result of the super 8s. it was a great success and lauded and rightly so. but the munster championship has been extremely average for a number of years before that.1-2 great games here and there. the provincial championships are dead in the water and i can tell you there were punters from waterford and tipp in the bar today saying "maybe we all got carried away at the championship last year". perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 02/06/2019 18:12:01 2189862 Link
Waterford?, more like wasterford PyatPree (Cork) - Posts: 376 - 02/06/2019 18:13:51 2189863 Link
Replying To bloodyban: "Would you go away with your 3.5. Even Waterford as bad as they are playing are still better than Dublin and Wexford." Doubt Waterford would beat either if they played next week. Both Wexford and Dublin beat Tipp this year- something Munster teams seem to be struggling to do?

Several years went by when Tipp didn't win a game in Minster in the 70s. There's an awful lot of myths and myth making about the Munster hurling championship. Sure there have been great games down the years but there have been great games in Leinster too without the hype. Treating the Munster championship like a "sacred cow" has not been good for hurling in the rest of the country. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 02/06/2019 18:42:44 2189881 Link
Replying To bloodyban: "Would you go away with your 3.5. Even Waterford as bad as they are playing are still better than Dublin and Wexford." Dublin or Wexford wouldn't have thrown in the towel at home the way Waterford did today. Spineless effort. Condorman (Dublin) - Posts: 983 - 02/06/2019 18:43:55 2189882 Link
