See Ger Loughnane thinks Kilkenny are the best team in Leinster by a good bit in Mondays Star wouldn't agree with that think any one of four could lose out in round Robin Kilkenny included? Tiger1 (Wexford) - Posts: 410 - 31/03/2022 08:36:43 2408525 Link 0 |

Thanks OTM. I watched the video of this 76 game and thought it was a free in for Tony Doran too. Think it was close enough for a handy point or maybe even a speculative shot at goal. From the resultant free out, I think Cork got a point to seal it. I have heard your point about Seanie Kinsella as well. I think there was something else around Martin Quigley not playing in around that same era. But I don't know what that was exactly. Anyway, it's hard to win an All-Ireland - All your ducks need to be a row and you need a bit of luck as well. Punter72007 (Wexford) - Posts: 318 - 31/03/2022 09:43:55 2408541 Link 0 |

It was very obvious looking at Sunday's game that we will need at least a 70% or 80%i improvement if we are to beat Galway in a few weeks time. If Chin and Mac are unavailable then it's hard to see us making any headway against the westerners. The league is over for us now and in fairness we done well, except for that nightmare last week. I sincerely hope that we witness a very different Wexford in the championship. It was agonising to see so many players being out thought, out fought and made to look like an underage side. Can we bounce back? Yes of course but everything must click on the day. We have time to erase that mauling from our memories. Make the changes that are necessary. Tighten up our six backs and above all we have to play with intensity. Anything less will simply not be good enough. My team v Galway assuming no injuries.

Has he played well in any position other than sweeper for seniors? Struggled to make it before he went there and seems to be struggling again when man to man Northcountyball (Wexford) - Posts: 17 - 31/03/2022 12:03:01 2408615 Link 0 |

Enough credit in the bank over the last 4 years? So if current performances were poor (which they have been) he is entitled to play going off past performances. Makes absolutely no sense. He hasn't played well as no longer a full time sweeper which suited him. Marking a man doesn't seem to suit him.But past performances should see him start you think.

Played midfield for the entirety of 2018 season when Shaun Murphy was sweeper and although a different standard has been his position at club level last 5-6 years, think he's well capable there myself just hasn't hit form yet this year for whatever reason.

He was 1 of the 1st men on the teamsheet at u21 and when he was in the senior panel in the pre sweeper days. He couldnt commit for 1 or 2 seasons as far as I can remember. And he was 1 of Rapps better players when they won the county championship. Hes not vice captain for nothing. I'd rather players peak for the championship.

Hes one of our best players. Past performances are irrelevant. He was always a forward as long as I can remember. Never a centreback.

I always think of him as a wing forward tbh Wexico.

yeah he was mostly a forward at underage but I remember he was a revelation in 2017 club championship when Rapps moved him to midfield, he's played very little in forwards since that point being almost exclusively at midfield with the Rapps while been in the sweeper role for wexford 2019-2021 after been midfield in 18.

Really? You mean for standing up for and pointing out what Austin Gleeson done you think I should have my account closed down.

He scored 3 points from play from midfield in the county final. Maybe I'd swap him and Liam og on my team to play Galway. Would definitely be a starter for me anyway.

No as I said for the rhetoric towards the Waterford poster.

Not qualified to comment on Darren Egan but it will be a test and his job to put the train back on the tracks. Getting the confidence back up on the training ground and putting last Sunday in the rear view mirror. If either team lets that get into their heads it will be disastrous. I would tend to look at the Wexford results over the last few years and the win column looks good. Not patronizing either. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3141 - 31/03/2022 16:03:45 2408713 Link 0 |

Think countyman made some valid points about Ballygunner Wexico. We have clubs around Wexford town who are also benefitting from urban spread. I was very happy to see them win a club AI btw. Like us they now have 1 club AI won by a club in the county. But it's a very valid point that Ballygunner do have a huge number of playing club members compared to Ballyhale.

We have come a long way from 10 years ago that's for sure Canuck. We didnt do too badly intensity wise the next game after our only other defeat this year when like last Saturday we played with no intensity or gameplan or tactics as such and got hammered. I'm certainly not giving up on Egan, the panel or this year anyway.

Viking66 we could also say that Ballyhale swallowed up Knockthopher who were a separate active club. If Ballysaggart joined Lismore practically the same parish they would be a huge force. Fenor probable the next smallest one after Ballysaggart resisted begin swallowed by Dunhill. I am a believer in clubs existing if possible. Look at the Waterford team made up of I believe 18 clubs and many junior,intermediate at that. Ballygunner swallowed no one and the population just increased. What were they to do turn them away ? No they went about their business providing facilities and the one's who started it all were the people with the little school house, country field and junior team I played against. They did not bring in big business tycoons to get there. Just loyal club members. Who knows what their future will bring in terms of success.

I'm very aware of Ballygunner's stature but it's no coincidence that poster is constantly in a childish sometimes nasty exchange with other posters.
