Way to easy for Galway, We just didn't turn up. Galway are one hell of a team, their forward movement is exceptional, you could hold some forward but not them all, they could do a Kilkenny on it for the next couple of years, Joe Canning is amazing to watch, so skilful. As per my prediction we had too many wides again and Chin didn't turn up again. Tox73 (Wexford) - Posts: 168 - 02/06/2018 21:08:15 2106563 Link
Johnny Glynn worked well early on. Never has to catch a ball again. But causes so much confusion Galway attack pick up the pieces. Wexford are obviously better than what was seen today but Galway seem to be a bit ahead. Only seven points from play today. Galway Seem to have too many forwards causing too much trouble for any team. SamandLiamSoon (Galway) - Posts: 589 - 02/06/2018 21:30:48 2106584 Link

Well done Galway today good performance. The long ball tactic aimed at Johnny glynn as a target man even though he didn't catch one ball (flynn caught more balls he only on for 10mins) seemed to create space for the forwards to snap them over the bar. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 02/06/2018 22:52:39 2106608 Link
Replying To Killarney.87: "Yeah, how do you to stop forwards who are physically bigger than you and well able to hurl." Very very hard and the test of time shows the team with big forwards who can win primary possssion first time and can score are in with a big shout. Kilkenny had them in spades between 2006-2014 and now Galway seem to have gone for physically huge ball winning forwards who can score at ease. Difficult to defend against unless of course you are a 5'8 leaping Salmon like Tommy Walsh!! Past hurler (None) - Posts: 718 - 02/06/2018 23:45:07 2106620 Link

Replying To katser: "Totally agree with you and with talk of Galway winning back to back All Ireland then this is a match Galway should win with a bit to spare even though Wexford Park hasn't always been a happy hunting ground the fact that Galway are 5-6 years playing together as a team, have that winning experience and are starting to click will see them into a Leinster Final. Wexford on the other hand could start to go backwards if they lose because I'd fancy Kilkenny to beat them in Nolan Park and that would leave them 3rd in Leinster and probably facing Tipperary 4th in Munster in the Premilary 1/4 final." 4th in provincial group is eliminated Westfester (Limerick) - Posts: 943 - 03/06/2018 02:25:26 2106636 Link

Replying To Killarney.87: "Yeah, how do you to stop forwards who are physically bigger than you and well able to hurl." It wasn't nice to see the way Wexford players tried to stop them today. I can't remember seeing so many Galway players going down injured and the ref or linesmen not seeing the fouls. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1785 - 03/06/2018 09:32:41 2106657 Link
Replying To Westfester: "4th in provincial group is eliminated" Your right..I forget it's Joe mcdonagh winner and runner up who come into the All Ireland SHC against 3rd place teams at that premilary 1/4 stage! Pitty because 3rd & 4th in Munster & Leinster cross playing at the premilary 1/4 stage sounds alot more attractive! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 03/06/2018 10:45:38 2106680 Link

Playing 10 games in a group stage to eliminate 1 team would make no sense. Westfester (Limerick) - Posts: 943 - 03/06/2018 11:33:59 2106696 Link

Sorry didn't see you mentioning that? No whinge here Galway streets ahead of Wexford, for years they relied on Joe Canning now they have 4 top class forwards, can see them retaining the All ireland, don't see anything yet to trouble them.

I did actually mention it under the DB thread. I didn't agree with it on two counts: it was a dangerous challenge and it was needless. I think hurling should be about skill and discipline no matter what club or county is playing. Dáithí Burke gave away a needless penalty and got a yellow card. Scanlon got up and played on. Last Saturday two Galway players had to leave the field, JC and J Glynn, injured. There wasn't even a free given because they were hit late, when the ball was gone. It took J Cooney a good 15 minutes to recover from the belt he got, no free, it wasn't seen by the officials. Your manager, who has a history of inciting violence, was overheard saying to one of his players in Wexford Park, "he can do f'all damage in the back of an ambulance". I like Wexford people and I enjoyed our trip to your town and pitch but I don't have any time for DF. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1785 - 04/06/2018 09:11:06 2107147 Link

Please please be more open minded..galway are a big powerful physical team who can hurl and like the great killkenny team of the last 20 years they use this advantage to win games and fair dues to them Galway were way more physical in their play than wexford and we could not cope and i dont think any team will this year. If big joe needed an hour to recover he should of got it as what a super player but there was not dirt or intent to injury involved in the tackle!!!! And you should not imply same, was far from a dirty game and injures will happen anf please dont forget it is played with a wooden stick. I hope wexford will learn from last sunday but we just dont have the player numbers of quilty and size to be competitive week after week. i am really happy you like wexford and our town but please stop the crap talk and enjoy the wonderfull team you have in galway at the moment as it was 30 years in the making tonydoranfan (Wexford) - Posts: 550 - 04/06/2018 15:18:08 2107312 Link

I agree re tackle on JC. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1785 - 04/06/2018 15:41:11 2107323 Link
There were a few sneaky lads hits on our lads the last day that I wouldn't be happy about. The ref was poor in my opinion, the free count at the end was 22 to Wexford 9 to Galway, make of that what you will. Plus he sent off Adrian Tuohy harshly and left Sean Murphy on the pitch after he dragged down Flynn near the end. One sided reffing in my opinion. If I was from Wexford I would give Davy the order of the boot.They have some fine hurlers but they will never achieve under his daft tactics, they persisted with a sweeper the last day even when 10 points down.

Personally I thought there was hardly a dirty stroke in the match, one or two either way were a bit over zealous but come off it, that happens. I am starting to feel the same about Davy Fitz.
