Replying To foreveryoung: "A rather comprehensive assessment! I don't know if it's accurate, but if it is … it doesn't look good for Wexford.
Perhaps 'the boys' is actually a Kilkenny man in disguise? Perhaps not? And if not, add another factor to his summation: the heavy ground that suits Wexford hurling. That'll be gone with the summer hurling!" Ah go away with your heavy ground AG: D

Replying To Canuck: "This is a public forum and open threads. Many people comment on other counties threads. I was not the one who convoluted the main page with these threads and never used them before that. However if you want something private form your own little chat room where you can b.s. to a select group. I will continue to engage on the Wexford because of interest in Wexford and friends. 99% of my comments are and will be positive but I will call out what is bad the same as forWaterford.
Now to Gleeson. I never defended his antics. Neither did I this time and his sending off should stand. He threw a hurley away and but suggesting he meant to hit anyone is just not right. O Connor threw a hurley intending to hit Shaun O'Brien. Not disgusting ? That is factual for everyone to see. He should be getting much severer sanction than Gleeson. You are the one wearing the tinted glasses. Thankfully the majority of posters on here in gauge in objective conversation and I wish them and the Wexford team all the best." Austin Gleeson shoved his hurl into the genitals of another player. Fully intending to do it. Jack O Connor threw a hurl in the direction of the goalkeeper when he was throwing up the ball. It hit him. And you think Jack O Connor should get a harsher punishment than Austin Gleeson for pulling what is probably the most cowardly act you could do (although not surprising as we know what he is like, on and off the pitch). Really Canuck, I think you need to open your eyes man, cant be the majority of posters are wrong. Or maybe we should all go around and carry out acts like that. Really fit the bill as a Waterford poster.

Replying To munsterchamps: "maybe the wexford supporters on here were reading too much into the league form before sunday.....how much were limerick and the other 4 teams that ye beat trying......the answers to how good wexford are will come in the next 6 to 8 weeks...." Yep for sure. I dont think anyone on this thought we were realistic AI contenders this year so Saturday hasnt changed anything. Are we Leinster contenders? I dont think last Saturdays result changes anything- we still are. Will we still be after playing Galway? Yes. If we lose to Galway and Dublin? Well then not. All to play for!

Darragh Egan's needs to know his best team for Galway ,A lot of rotation has happened on over the league campaign it's clearly shown who to play and who not to play ! Matt o Hanlon should be corner back solid on gillane and flanagan too slow for wing back the other one should be Conor devitt very impressive over the league campaign much better than Simon donohoe! I like the inclusion of the new blood in the team Corey Byrne Dunbar and darragh pepper but come championship I wouldn't fancy them to deliver but who knows! Couple of others to watch out for are shamey hagen from buffers alley and Richie lawlor once back from injury who we might see this summer ! Open to opinions on any of the above !!

Replying To Pikeman96: "O'Connor should face more severe sanction than Gleeson? You're entitled to an opinion, but consider this....
Throwing the hurl in a manner that's not dangerous to an opponent is a simple free against the offender. No further sanction.
Throwing the hurl in a manner that's likely to be dangerous is a yellow card. That's what O'Connor rightly got for the offence.
As already stated, striking or attempting to strike an opponent with a hurl, even with minimal force, is a straight red card. And that's what Gleeson rightly got.
If you've a problem with the sanctions, take it up with the people who make the rule book.
And if you're going to impose sanctions on the grounds of what "could" have happened - e.g. O'Connor's hurl "could" have hit the goalkeeper and injured him - then consider what "could" happen when one player uses his hurl to give an opponent a dig where the sun doesn't shine.
Probably the worst a loose hurl will do to you is a cut or a bruise. But get a sneaky dig in the you-know-whats, and you could lose one of them.
Would you like to talk again about sanctions?" I do have my opinions like you and don't do denial. Our players sent off in recent years. Gleeson for pulling a helmet off. Got away with a second. DeBurca wrongly in 2017. C. Gleeson on Joe Canning should have got further games for a cheap hand breaker. Colin Dunford for striking with the stick. Foran wrong call the player was going down after he initiated the shoulder. Gleeson for poking with the hurley Sunday deserved. Lots of red cards coming for that this year so. Wexford won there second oscar on Sunday. The first against that tug DeBurca who was always and still doing it, ripping off helmets and playing dirty. Yere boys doing simulation and throwing hurleys are all angels. Right?

Replying To wexico15: "I see ye are not appealing the red card anyway, feel sorry for the Ballygunner contingent that the match has been set for Saturday, the match will clash with there gala dinner where they are getting their medals." Final word on discipline I know we all have our own opinions on our own players on fouls ect but most supporters are wearing the tinted County Glasses when it comes to their own players.
Of course its irritating when been held and fouled and that is not within the rules maybe the GPA would address this empower umpires/linesmen to report this referee gives early YELLOWS or calls back a penalty would rid game of a lot of this.
But Players cannot take law into their own hands and swing with hurley ect these players that have been mentioned here,
are not the only forwards that take abuse I remember a semi final a no of years ago and the defenders did his best to Maim TJ Reid & Ritchie Power.
I saw TF hunted & tormented a number of times in the championship last year he had to get on with it most players now have years of S&Q and can give it back too.
I suppose if you do the crime you must do the time

Replying To Viking66: " Replying To Cockney_Cat: "" Chin was sprung into action off the bench in the last quarter and struck over a free as the Model men fell by 19 points with the Déise laying waste to their unbeaten league run, but the Faythe Harriers forward appeared to pull up in the dying seconds when tracking back at speed. The 29-year-old, an All-Star winner in 2019, was visibly in discomfort after the final whistle and he is believed to have undergone extensive treatment behind the scenes with fears that the same injury has flared up once again on the eve of championship." linkThis looks like a serious error of judgement by the Wexford management team. Rushing a player back from injury when there was no need to bring him on with the game already lost." Hes hardly been rushed back the injury occurred back in October."

I still think Wexford hurling is too slow.
Even in the club championships the hurling is never off the charts fast hurling, only maybe Oulart in the last 10 years making any sort of leeway in Leinster club and I think that is down to the speed of our hurling. Intermediate and junior grades the same. Really slow.
It could be a lot of lads play football too and don't have the hurl in the hand 24/7 from August to November when club season starts.
Davey was able to organise these lads and get them seriously conditioned and play a sweeper but that was really to disguise our weakness at the back as a defensive unit.
We could win a Leinster because the Dublin's, Kilkennys and Galway's suit us but we won't be able to handle the Limericks, Corks and Waterford's pace and speed of hurlinf in the All Ireland series.
I have great times for these Wexford lads, they give absolutely everything but I am not expecting miracles to happen either.

It's an outrageously negative assessment in my opinion.

Replying To theboys: "Was at the minor in Parnell park,was very impressed to with them,won't lie when I went down through the panel and seen that the big clubs in the county not really represented I had me doubts!!! Opening few minutes very nervy,loads of missed opportunities,but then Wexford turned it on!!!all the backs defending really well and dominating in particular Chapman corner back and Purcell wing back,backed up by a very hard working midfield!!I must say they look very organised back there,paudie Doyle a very good hurler!!! Wexford forward I must say very sharp lots of movement lots of support play not afraid to give it to the right man which was great to see, Roche from oulart, Rowley and Byrne very classy backed by the hard working McCarty on the wing!!! Matthew Murphy full forward a big man able to move and very good on the frees I must say never missed one!!I know it looked tight on the score board and two of the goals took deflections and shouldn't have been allowed anyway it was free out definitely to Wexford backs for both,but the ref completely turned on Wexford for some reason,some very very strange frees called,Wexford were definitely the better side by 7-8 points really and in total control,ref played alot of time added on aswell looked sure he was playin to get Dublin a draw!!! Very well done to all involved I see Noel carton involved and Richie Kehoe on the line too!!great to see recent enough county men involved!!!" I'd have high hopes for them considering how well both GCC and Peters did in the schools. GCC winning Leinster and Peters almost knocked them in a really good game in the group phase. There was only a goal or so innit. GCC were very impressive in the Leinster final beating Dublin South well, who beat Kierans beforehand. It's vital that we start challenging and winning underage titles again from schools upwards to U20's. All the recent All Ireland winners have had an underage All Ireland with a strong school teams also. Were kidding ourselves if we think we're going to win national titles by only getting to the odd Leinster minor/U20 final and getting beat by Kilkenny and Galway.

I think if you look back after every league match, you will find a stream of posts which said "it is only the league", j and posts to that effect. Nobody got carried away. We have seen this script before.
I would be happy to bet good money that nobody on here expected at any stage during the league that Wexford were All-Ireland contenders. Plenty of posts regarding Leinster contenders which I think is still realistic.

You're severely missing the point here.
I'm just saying that if you seriously think throwing a hurl deserves a more severe sanction than giving somebody a slap in the goolies, then the rulebook disagrees with you.

That would be my championship team assuming all fit. God knows what it will be against Galway though. Kevin foley isn't a defender for me he was fine as a sweeper with the extra space that afforded but in future it's midfield or further up for him imo.
Doubt Chin will be available at all this year the signs really aren't good.

Poking the hurl into another players genitals. Definition of cowardly. There's a common theme with Waterford for years now, and that is acts like that. Red after red, act after act, dirty stroke after dirty stroke. Not another team like them. And let it continue as there ill discipline is going to continue to cost them until they can start acting like proper hurlers.

I suppose if you do the crime you must do the time" Clooney, Back in'81 Sean Foley got six months got six months off all hurling activity for a strike which inflicted a facial wound on PJ Molloy. It looked serious at the time, but PJ thankfully was able to hurl the following Sunday in the replay. Do you think that present punishments are far too lenient, especially where serious like concussions occur, which may be purposely inflicted? I presume the TF you refer is actually Tony Kelly and I agree that he holds his composure very well. I also think he is the finest hurler in Ireland even surpassing Lynch.

I think a lot of the Counsel and Peter lads could be over age and at u-20 now possibly Martin? Maybe a few qualify as minor. Correct me if wrong.
