To be fair to Buckley he was out for nearly 12 months with injury and the last game against Wexford was his first game back other than a club game I believe. Still I would of had him in. I take your point on Hogan but Murphy in the corner was poor, Alyward came on, had a 3 on 1 chance for a goal and took the greedy option and was blocked. His striking is poor at the best of times. Had that been Hogan I think he would have made the pass to the man in the better position. Much more intelligent player even if the legs are starting to go. We tend to forget he's been around since 2007. If Hogan doesn't start against Cork and KK lose, that will be him retired. Wexford only hit 2 wides yesterday. That means they scored 24 times from 26 shots, unbelievably efficient however they will need to add more to that to be beating the likes of Tipperary.

Thank you so much yellow bellies...... in a typical unpredictable Katser move with my online betting account minutes before throw in, I lumped everything I had in my account (4 figure sum) all on Wexford to win! I had my doubts during the week about Wexford but took the chance! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2188 - 01/07/2019 17:53:07 2203788 Link 0 |
Richie has had problems with his back for the past year or longer, it's unlikely he'll ever get back to a full 70 minutes of inter county championship hurling, but he was surely worth a ten minute cameo yesterday.

You shouldn't be betting online at your age using all your communion money from your piggy bank. The sooner the better online filters come in for children. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 01/07/2019 18:38:08 2203826 Link 0 |

For me, the words "Davy" and "great manager" do not go well together in the same sentence yet. There's no denying he has achieved a lot , and he has achieved with every county he has got involved with. But his tactics imo are self-limiting and can be effective in the short term but over time tend to get found out. He won the tactical battle yesterday and it will be interesting to see if he will come up with something different for the semi final, if as one would expect, they will meet Tipp in that semi final. And he will have to, because if they play the same way as they did yesterday in a semi final against Tipp there will only be one winner....and it wont be Wexford!! If on the other hand Dublin are their opponents, a reprise of their tactics yesterday probably would see them through. If Davy brings Wexford to the All Ireland final --and most certainly if they win it ---Davy will then quite rightly be hailed by most hurling folk as a great manager.

I wouldn't be so sure about who Wexford play in the semi-final. They can't meet Limerick but it could be any one of the other four teams. There is no guarantee either that Tipperary will beat Dublin

You are spot on there Oldtourman. It is a symptom of only the elites have a right to win. Let alone when they meet each other in the final the media pronounces this traditional final is what everyone is waiting for and is the only real legitimate final. It gets sickening after about 60 years.

Well Wexford cannot meet Kilkenny in a Semi Final either and we cannot meet Tipp, as we have both met them in the provincial finals.

Your forgetting about Laois and rightly so because I have too! I'd say Wexford will get winners of Tipp v Dublin and I'd fancy Cork v KK

Does anyone know why the game was stopped towards the end as Chin came out with it? StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1726 - 02/07/2019 13:47:10 2204294 Link 0 |
What happens if both Cork and Tipp or Dublin and KK qualify would it then be a open draw as repete clashes are unavoidable or is it already set that the winner of the Leinster prov runner up game faces Munster champ in the semi?

My understanding is if Cork and Tipp make it Tipp can't play Limerick. If Dublin and Kilkenny qualify Kilkenny can't play Wexford. Fairly sure that's correct.

Its provincial final pairings they are trying to avoid repeating. So if Tipp or Kilkenny come through, or bot, there wont be a semifinal draw.

It's wexford v Tipp\Dub and Limerick v Cork\KK. The winners of Limerick v Cork will be champions i feel.
