Replying To Jedobi:  "Average team, Cork or Limerick would batter you. Only won because you were playing an even worse Wexford team. Had a free ride for years to the semi final and still couldn't win an All Ireland."
Won '80 '87 and '88 all Irelandss on the free ride to the semis, so you're not correct there. We didn't need to beat 'even worse Wexford' to know we don't match up with Cork or Limerick.

Strange game. Never felt like losing it even when they got it back to 3 points. One thing is for certain, we won't beat Dublin. But that will leave us third and into a
Quarterfinal. Just fear the day Cathal Mannion doesn't preform. Well off the boil in some sectors. Would expect any team to come out of Munster to put us to the sword. But that's all down the line, a fired up Antrim visit next. Then onto the capital

Don't recall Galway competing in a provincial championship in 80,87,88 so why I am incorrect in saying Galway had an easier path to the All Ireland? Galway played 3 games in 1980 and 1987 and 2 in 1988 and beat Kerry and Kildare in All Ireland quarter finals. Spent the whole of the 1960s in Munster without winning a title and won 3 Leinster titles since being in it.

You're incorrect in saying they couldn't win an all ireland, when they won '80 '87 '88 and '17.

Replying To Galway456:  "Ye got a 10 point beating and ye come over onto the forum to call us average. I remember when ye bet us last year the celebrating ye did and yere forum was hopping for weeks, no galway man called ye average that day, you claim we only player scoring for us, well let me tell ya ye only have one average hurler and when he retires yere finished for a long time"
I understand you're replying to a silly post but calling Chin average is beyond ridiculous.

In your entire history you've produced some excellent players but only one better than Chin ever.

Great , thanks for backing me up, no wonder Wexford are where they are at, a Wexford fan backing Galway against another Wexford supporter. Nothing silly about my post but what I expect from the Wexford forum.
