Hopefully in Kilkenny . Apparently Cork and Kilkenny have a home and away agreement and that game is due to be in Cork. Who knows what the Gaa will do though

Nowlan Park or a home game if we can start our own agreement with Waterford would be even better. Although I still will reiterated that home advantage is deserved by table toppers Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 21/03/2022 15:37:17 2406258 Link 0 |

" If you think you are going to make contact with the head " Thats a lot of thinking Viking 66. What if you think you are not going to hit the head? Are you also supposed to think that the player is going to start going down when you initiate the tackle. I am surprised at you. There are accidents and always will be in a contact sport. However we are heading down the road of no contact. This was an accident where the contact was delivered to the shoulder first and no intent to hit the head. The body language from Foran was enough to see he was disgusted that his opposition got hit to the head. Cody even said he should not have been sent off. It is what it is and we'll move one. I would not want one of your players are anyone else sent off for this.

If a Wexford player was sent off for that incident i wouldn't have had any complaints personally.

I have no complaints either when a Waterford player is sent off for a pre meditated cheap hit like Conor Gleeson did to Joe. This was a player going in to give a legal shoulder and it went wrong accidentally by the player starting to go down. Kilkenny play hard and don't make a meal out of things. Darragh Lyons also took a hit and was bleeding from the face but got up like the Kilkenny player and got on with it and I also appreciate that.. Darragh a small little guy but can give and take it. I was not at the football game in Dungarvan but from a friend who never gets excited said he has never seen anything like it in all his years of playing and watching. Four Waterford players sent off while two of their players just a bout decapitated and only yellows. Consistency is all you can ask for. Not sure you can blame the refs or the instructions they are been given. One way or the other help required. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3133 - 21/03/2022 17:05:08 2406294 Link 0 |

Walsh Park in Waterford must be the worst ground in the country, would hate a home/away arrangement until they upgrade that dump.

Very strange no venue or time announced for the game yet. Normally always announced early on a Monday Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 21/03/2022 17:30:12 2406299 Link 0 |

What seemed very similar happened to Cian Lynch in Ennis two weeks and it was not even a yellow card-btw I would most definitely not have wanted the young Clare player put off, but he should have been warned- and a free against Limerick was not even reversed.

This is part of the problem with an angled slowed down view of a tackle. In the NHL they put in there own cameras for this reason. Found they still had a problem with unfair suspensions and now all these have to be done watching at normal speed. Watching it in live time Foran went for the shoulder. Actually got the top of the shoulder but the player on his way down took it to the head also. I don't like to see any player injured like this. Foran is not a head hunter. Darragh Lyons took a frontal tackle that drew blood but again this was not a dirty hit. It was an accident that he got cut from the challenge. Gleeson was blown for charging after a player ran in to him to stop him. Players getting called for taking three step while others taking 10. Really the whole reffing needs upgrading and not necessarily more rules. We can agree to differ and you will not find me complaining about many decisions. This one was just wrong and Cody agrees also.

Anyone know what day and venue the semi is on?? Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 21/03/2022 19:07:22 2406319 Link 0 |

You are still missing the point Canuck. Head shots can be very dangerous intentional or not. Thats why the rule was introduced. To prevent accidents happening. By the rules of the game Foran had to go. Theres no leeway for accidental contact in them.

I wouldn't have any complaints myself either. It was a dangerous and reckless challenge, and absolutely deserved a red card. Intent or otherwise doesn't and shouldn't come into it. As others have said, look at rugby and how they've clamped down on dangerous high tackles. It doesn't matter a bit how accidental a high tackle might have been - it'll be a red card, and there won't be any arguing about it.

How are the minors set for the weekend? Basing it on GCC and Peters performances during the schools, they look like they'll be a decent side. Finchfurlong996 (Wexford) - Posts: 255 - 21/03/2022 21:42:46 2406346 Link 0 |

Right lads league semi final on Sunday . At this stage of the competition I think we should go all out to reach a league final. We need a good performance at the very least to leave us with good momentum going into championship . What team do we expect to start?

Personally I'd make two changes here; I think Devitt has earned his spot in the corner over Donohue and Chin has to be in instead of O. Foley. Not because Oisin has done anything wrong but we really need to get game time into Chin before championship and I feel he's too important to us to be left on the bench.

Looks a good team. Plenty of pace on that bench. Paul Morris also on the bench if we need to bring on an experienced player to settle things. You forgot Hearne who would bring energy. Think Higgins also does well when there is a bit more space towards the end of a game.

All valid points . I forgot Shane Reck aswell who for me is a starter if he is fully fit . Any word on his hamstring injury?

I think alot of the senior schools players are 18 or 19 so that wouldn't be the best measuring stick, I don't know much about the team, I believe Simon Roche from Oulart and Cillian Byrne from Fethard (younger brother of Cian) from last year's team are underage again, Byrne was on the GCC team that won Leinster but was the youngest player on the team.

Its not great but Louth's ground in Drogheda is defiantly the worst.
