Replying To Canuck:  "From a supporter of a county than got away with the most shenanigans."
Yeah, 22 All-Irelands since Waterford last won one; all down to shenanigans.

Replying To Laois76:  "I'm not anti Austin Gleeson, Waterford or anyone.

But what annoys me and i have no sympathy for is stupidity in players. Like Austin with all the helmet talk and his own team mate suspended and he does that.

Connolly of Dublin nearly missing a season over a sideline ball against Carlow. Paul Galvin's antics over the years. People say heat of the moment, short fuse etc but to me it's stupidity!!"
Fair point. Others have a different agenda.

It annoys me in any sport Cannuck. BS like 'flawed genius', players with 'rogue chips' etc. Players like that drive me nuts. I love players you know what you get with.

Some people paint all the greats as flawed genius but i don't. Pele, Shefflin, Tony McCoy, Ayrton Senna, peter Canavan etc etc generally did the right things at the right time and had solid temperament.

That's why i worry a bit for Austin. He's 22 now, 4th championship season. He's enough experience at this level than to be leaving himself in precarious situations and also letting his team mates down.

This is where I leave this subject and none of us are 100% correct. Health and happiness to all you fine hurling supporters. Hope to see you all on Jones Road Sept. 3.
Cannot imagine too many cats there as they go to one game in the year and especially as they are not playing. Just have to get the last dig in which I am sure won't go unanswered. Living among them for years, mostly admiring them, jealous of them but fed up with their arrogance day in day out when you sit down with them in your local. I would never trade the white and blue shirt for that one that has the roading markings on.
Apologize for using this thread for by pulpit but you know the poster I am trying to rise. Have fun.
