Replying To Yellaman:  "Not looking good"
Yes O'connor Eoghan Nolan and Tom Byrne
( Maybe ) are unfortunate losses for our trip to the gaelic grounds but the positives are that both Glen Malone and Sean Nolan were injured for the league final against Limerick. They are now back and were outstanding last Sunday. Interesting to note they were also on the team of the week along with Daragh Brooks and Pairic Hughes. So it's not all bad news.
In the group stages Limerick beat Antrim by 8 points. We beat Antrim by 11 points and it really should have been by a wider margin.
If we win the midfield battle next Sunday I am confident we will win. The thing is though that we must bring our A game along. If not we will be regretting a golden opportunity to reach a semi final or possibly a final.
Time for me to put my head on the block.
Verdict -- wexford to win by 5 points.

It's a strange move from Limerick, after playing all their home games in Rathkeale. Maybe they feel that the bigger Gaelic grounds pitch might give them an advantage, as they've already turned us over in Croker............or is my cynical mind working overtime?

Try Wodfield house is only up the road, seeeing as the Davin Arms is now a lidl! done a bit of bar work there back in the college days when I would spend the spare time pucking a ball about on the green at the back of the Mackey stand!

Rumours are the flawless almost poetic stroke of a wexford man in his wexford jersey seen from the Ennis inspired the resurgence in the emphasis of the GAA in the city throwing off the shadow cast on it by Thomond up the road!!

dont overly fancy our chances tomorrow without martin o conner but will still travel, in our 2 games against them we have scored no goals, we will need 2 tomorrow with our normal 18/20 pts plus, bur our biggest challange is to tighten up st the back, we need to stop them getting a clear run at our goal

Liam Coleman seems to be rediscovering a bit of form, and Sean Nolan is a massive plus from the team that played in Croke Park. Higgins and Kinsella are improving every game, we have scoring forwards on the bench.
Limerick are in great form and I'd agree they are favourites, but we have every chance.

Strictly on league form you should be good enough. You have a sound thumping in the league and I have no idea how we contrived to lose to Limerick. I know the wheels came off for you after the league final, but you seem to be getting back on track.

2 more home wins in the knockout stages of the TC. Hopefully we will be the 1st away winner of a knockout game this year!

My worry ahead of this game is our habit of letting the opposition back into games when we really should be well capable of pushing on as the game nears it's end.
Also we have a tendency to concede soft goals.
We do have quality scoring forwards and I'm certain we will give Limerick plenty to think about.
I'm more concerned about our defence.
Lapses here could cost us greatly.

Lost count of the lapses. Carved open with ease.

Promotion achieved. Fair play to the team and management.

Far far too loose defensively for this level. We surely had a bit of homework done after the league final? Cut apart too easily for each goal. Haven't had a centre back since David Murphy or a full back since Graeme Molloy.

Promotion achieved which was probably the main aim for the campaign, and we should be able to attract a decent outside manager now. Either a wily old fox Mickey Harte type or an up and comer like Ger Brennan or Oisin McConville.

Men against boys for large portions of that game. Apart from first 5 minutes and last 5 before half time. We scored I think 1 10 in total in that period. Job done in the league, poor championship. Hammered by laois, struggled against Longford, drew with Carlow, beaten by fermanagh, beat poor Antrim team and hammered today. There has been some great servant over the last few years who will probably retire now, but they owe wexford football nothing. Very poor wexford support up here today. Anyway on to next year.best of luck to Limerick in the semi final

Far too open again. This has been a constant under Hegarty and the management team.
We are well able to run up big scores against poor teams but when we play a decent team we are cut open.
Surely Hegarty and management will give division 3 a rattle.

I did flag the defensive frailties after the Antrim game.
We always struggle when teams run at us.
I also now know how little I know about the rules !!
When or what is a black card offence ?
Their keeper denied us a clear ( open) goal early on with a deliberate foul on Nolan, Minnie gets a black card after their player avoided his attempted hand trip and scored for them. Baffling.

Season is done and as everyone says promotion was tge main aim but its disappointing that we failed in the same areas that have caused us problems for the past couple of years. We get caught to easily on the break and we need to work on our pace in the middle third. Limerick attacked with pace and moved the ball far quicker than we did. We made too many simple mistakes also but no complaints really as Limerick were the better team.
