Congratulations to the Leitrim hurlers who have made it to the Lory Meagher Cup final the second weekend after next. Tremendous stuff boys after missing out on promotion in the league by a whisker.

I see Offaly have a weekly 50/50 draw with a prize fund of €2,500 each week! 50% goes to the prize goes to the winner and 50% goes back to Offaly GAA. The big difference is the entry fee of €5 for one entry, €10 for 3 and €20 for 7 entries. Would this not have been a better option? Much more appealing to supporters and neutrals, sustainable long term and one person spending €5 per week would raise €260 over the year rather than a once off payment of €100.

Replying To ElGranSenor:  "We beat them in 2018"
As most wexford people. Living in the past.

We need to open our eyes. Saying it since year. We are miles off the pace. It is not been negative just reality.

Don't know where we go from here tbh.

As low as bonnar era.

When lads take 3 attempts to pick up a ball it's worrying.

Deflated. Rock bottom lads

Replying To Galway2001:  "good team picked for today but shocking to think Mikey Mulryan isnt making the 26 he was our U20 captain and best player we had this year.
The hype is gone overdrive in Roscommon so hopefully we can capatalise on that
Gaillimg Abu"
What hype? Galway are favourites with the bookies and punters. Majority of national media pundits has tipped Galway.

As for U20 player not making your 26 well none are on our 35 plus senior panel and we won U20 Connacht title.

Pints in foxes before the match lads. Safe travels and may the best team win.

Heading in for a couple to foxes before that match now. Day unreal and really looking forward and hoping for a big performance. Safe travels to all and going for a 3 point win for Ros.

Replying To Cockney_Cat:  ""What I think might happen is we pull one last game performance out of us. Like the last few years."

Possibly. Wexford's last game is against Galway, who might have already qualified for the Leinster final."
After yesterday's game against Kildare I doubt Micheal will change too much if we are qualified already.

Replying To eoinog:  "Too complicated leading to more controversy.
Keep it simple. More problems for referee's and then more bashing of referee's on line by anonymous posters."
Best of luck today Ros.

Replying To legendzxix:  "Losses for Limerick and Clare yesterday. This is where the second chance comes in. If they lose a third game, they cannot have any complaints about the end of their summer."
And yet there would be no issue if a Munster or Leinster hurling team lost three matches and qualified. It's bound to happen eventually in one of the groups.
In fact, a Leinster team could lose four matches (three group games and the Leinster final) and continue. Why the double standards?

Replying To sponger:  "This is embarrassing.

I thought we might win this. Silly me."
No more than I expected really. A battling second half but the damage was done in the first half. The inconsistency of this team is hard to understand. The main aim this year was the league and our league form underlined our inconsistency. I think there is another round or something in this Tailteann but the year has been agonising enough already. We don't need any more "nearlys".

Replying To brianb:  "Yeah - that could have been said. As you said - It wouldn't work perfectly.

Whatever about anything else - I believe the biggest issue with the current format is that teams can't get relegated as a result of poor performance in the championship."
To make home/away 'work perfectly' -

Draw Rds 1 & 2 in advance, before a ball is kicked
Eight home teams in Rd 1 are drawn away in Rd 2
Win both, straight to QFs - lose both, out - win/loss to Rd 3
Rd 3 is variable in size - could have 0-16 teams (more the better)

Replying To CarlowJuniorB:  "Sickening."
Not sure sickening summarises for me
First half we were useless
Great response in second half
Really entertaining game ..
Yes we lost but we get a second go.
Hopefully Brambrick,Hulton and and Ruth will see some Talteann cup action.
Downside for me was flat second half and conceding 6 goals

Replying To Kickitout:  "Good see o flaherty at wing forward think it's a positive move not sure 2 be honest about Daly at centre back the last few times molloy has picked up enda smith and done ok on him but the way game is gone now it's the team u finish with is often the stronger one I'd say Hernon , Tierney, comer o Laoi definitely see game time and either McGrath or Mulhern who are both good kick passers which u need es when comer comer in no point having him in there if slow hand passing o Laoi , McGrath and Mulhern are good kick passers, definitely need to watch Ross kickouts the ones over the midfield press that's how they open up mayo and how they got goal in league v Galway wing backs need to read flight of ball and not get caught under it"
If John Daly is an issue relating to the porosity of the Galway defence, he's by no means the only issue in that regard, based on that first half. We're making Darragh Heneghan look like Michael Donnellan so far.

Rossies won 81% of their own kickouts. Galway an absolutely woeful 54% on their own kickouts.

Replying To Gearoid1998ffowaed:  "I don't know what you're on about, was at the Oughterard V Maigh Cuillin game on Friday night and they're a very strong team. They were 2 points ahead of Maigh Cuillin and Fionn McDonagh got a goal in the last minute. They were very unlucky not to win."
Okay so 5 losses from 5 isn't an accurate picture of where they are at, they have just been unlucky? Claregalway beat them by 19 points in the last week of March.

Replying To Saynothing:  "No matter what way it's run it's a mess. I'd cure all this by starting Div 3 and 4 leagues a week before Div 2 and Div 1 a week later. Then after 3 and 4 leagues are over have a open draw between 3 and four for the first round of All Ireland, winners go into an open draw with Div 2 teams and winners of that go open draw with Div 1 teams. Get rid of Micky Mouse Mc Kenna cups and the like. End off."
That is exactly what people DON'T WANT.
A single tier, half the teams getting 1 game.
