Not sure about McDonald starting… think a fast inside forward is the way to go to drag Burke out from the square OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 72 - 04/05/2024 12:31:05 2542795 Link
The quality of hurling in the minor game so far is excellent. We're still producing players. Using the ball with intelligence and working hard. Hopefully more of the same later on Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 2751 - 04/05/2024 13:47:30 2542809 Link
I'm guessing there's no black card at Minor level? Because the second last free-in we got there was about as cut and dry a black card as you could get I'm also guessing that real Galway Minors didn't show up against Kilkenny, Brian Callanan has been doing some damage inside although they seem a little bit dependent on him ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 285 - 04/05/2024 14:08:56 2542812 Link
Replying To ExiledInWex: "And how ironic your last post it: Purpleandgold72: "Are we not the new Offaly already..?"" I apologise. You are obviously more than welcome to post here. And I was probably a bit premature to label us as the 'new Offaly'. However, looking at the results over the last 3 seasons, we are heading that way. Cusack Park in '22, Westmeath and Antrim in Wexford park last year, Offaly in the league in February and last week in Belfast. If we lose today, the pressure is really on. You'd hope we have enough to get a result against Carlow but the reality is that is another game that will have been targeted by the opposition and could be a real battle for us. If we do go down, how will we react? It could be a massive blow to the game in Wexford. Purpleandgold72 (Wexford) - Posts: 203 - 04/05/2024 14:31:26 2542816 Link
That escalated quickly. Those two missed goal chances haunting us Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 2751 - 04/05/2024 14:35:38 2542818 Link

Holmes is the best we have on this panel but hasn't been involved yet due to broken wrist. Will be back for next game. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 696 - 04/05/2024 14:46:26 2542819 Link
Think a 10 point win there really flatters Galway, I know they hit a good few wides late on and we went out of it in the second half but we butchered four goals chances and they didn't butcher one Plus can't for the life of we work out why their first goal was allowed to stand, once the referee blows the whistle, that's it, can't decide to play advantage after the fact Also can't understand why Galway's #7 wasn't sent off if Oisín Moore was sent off ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 285 - 04/05/2024 14:52:09 2542821 Link

The exact tackle the black card was brought it for. Scoreline absolutely flattering Galway. The first goal that opened the floodgates shouldn't have stood. Ref played advantage, blew the whistle, Galway lad put it in the net, and the ref let it stand. Shocking decision, even the Galway lads around couldn't believe he gave it. Butchered a few great goal chances and their keeper pulled off a wonder save, as well as a few great ones too. I know they lost well in the end but I wouldn't be too discouraged by that performance at all. Now for the seniors. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 236 - 04/05/2024 14:53:02 2542822 Link
Wasn't that much between those two teams, we missed 3 or 4 goall changes and gifted them two. Bit galway deserved their win hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 962 - 04/05/2024 14:55:01 2542823 Link
Not sure if it's my eyesight but Jesus when us and Galway wear our home jerseys it's hard to tell the two apart from the back OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 72 - 04/05/2024 15:07:48 2542827 Link

Yeah, there's definitely a team with talent there, hard to work out how Galway lost to Kilkenny by so much but I'm guessing that KK might have got a run on them like Galway got a run on us today ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 285 - 04/05/2024 15:12:55 2542829 Link
8 point loss I predict unfortunately Lockerroomboy (Wexford) - Posts: 445 - 04/05/2024 15:40:19 2542833 Link
What an awful kit Wexford are wearing, and why? With Galway wearing white shirts and maroon shorts, why aren't Wexford wearing their 'home' jerseys and white shorts? Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2484 - 04/05/2024 16:12:22 2542839 Link

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's no way we have 6 forwards better than Mac. He's making one of the best full backs ever look like a juvenile Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 2751 - 04/05/2024 16:45:42 2542843 Link
Shoulder to shoulder. Absolute joke. This isn't under 7s Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 2751 - 04/05/2024 17:11:46 2542848 Link

Fair play Wexford but surely this result must make it more frustrating to be a yellow belly. There seems to be only 2 types of performances, brilliant and crap and nothing in the middle LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 2506 - 04/05/2024 17:33:18 2542855 Link
Well done Wexford. No complaints. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2144 - 04/05/2024 17:34:58 2542858 Link
So so proud. Answered the critics and then some. Jippo's return really shored up the defence, did Galway create any goal chances? We probably don't realise that Rory O is one of our best ever players. His work-rate is off the charts. What a difference a week makes beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1425 - 04/05/2024 17:38:22 2542859 Link
