Replying To Viking66: "They can't all go up the steps at the same time though! And the only reason that list isn't longer is that you didn't play anyone else only Tipp who were even worse than Waterford in this years championship." Yes and not trying to give him any credence like the majority of people in Waterford. Wexford,Kilkenny and Galway are still in the race with a chance and no disrespect to the other play off teams either. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3163 - 26/05/2022 17:38:14 2420398 Link
Replying To LohansRedHelmet: "More nonsense. How can you say that I "take exception to any credit for Waterford based on nothing only bias". Explain to me why I am biased? Since the outset of this championship when it comes to Waterford I have simply stated that they are overrated, that league form should count for nothing and I expected Clare to beat Waterford at home. My opinion was based on the fact that Waterford were being overhyped based on league form which consistently has been proven to be an incorrect measurement of how the championship will go. I also said it was crazy for people to claim Waterford as a top 2 team in Ireland and Clare as 5th in Munster given we beat Waterford in the championship last year and have elite players like Shane O Donnell and Peter Duggan (although even I didn't think Peter would be as good as he has been) back in the team. I simply could not understand how people perceived there to be a sudden chasm in quality between Waterford and Clare when we won the last championship game between the two counties. My arguments have nothing to do with bias, I have no more ill feeling towards Waterford than anyone else, my arguments were based on a pure logical thought process which might I add has been proven 100% accurate." Funny if you followed my post I predicted Clare to advance and be in the Munster final. I will settle for that being a gut feeling like backing the 40 t0 1 in a race. I never said Waterford were in the top two. That would be silly if we had not beaten everyone other than Limerick in the championship. Anyway I want to leave the Wexford lads get back to their stuff. It was you who made the snide remark not me. Just take your victory and leave us to lick our wounds. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3163 - 26/05/2022 17:48:50 2420402 Link
Away to the Waterford/Clare page with you for your squabble lads. I know I'm an imposter here too.............. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1460 - 26/05/2022 18:07:57 2420405 Link
Is this not a Wexford thread? Why is there a Clare man giving out about Waterford on it? No reference to Wexford at all Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 26/05/2022 21:26:57 2420423 Link
Waterford were in the All Ireland semi last year and the final the year before and won the league this year. Clare have done nothing recently. They look to be going places now but would anybody be that surprised if Limerick beat them by 10 points in tbe Munster final? I think not. Clare still have it all to do. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 26/05/2022 21:28:50 2420424 Link
Replying To Canuck: "Why don't you give it a rest and show some modesty like most of the posters on here. In Waterford no one thought we were champions elect and and If you were around in our county since 1963 you know what not to take for granted. I don't begrudge Clare any success and won't degrade them if and when they lose. Waterford or anyone else has not a god given rights to win All-Irelands. There are counties working their socks off keeping the sport going and never get the lime light. I for one appreciate them. Sorry Wexford thread but could not let that vile go that is present in all his postings." Waterford quickly turning more and more into a Mayo. Their 'we deserve one at this stage' and 'nobody would begrudge us' attitude some them up. Their collapse this year would genuinely remind anyone of a townie team collapsing in a match. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 875 - 27/05/2022 10:40:11 2420449 Link

Replying To Cockney_Cat: "Bennettsbridge were the top hurling club in Kilkenny during the 1950s & 60s. In a 16 year period between 1952 and 1967 they won 10 senior hurling titles and were runners-up 3 times." Ya I was about to say this. He probably played against them with Rathnew.

Whichever of the 2 teams in the mc Donagh final we play we must show total respect. Be it Antrim or Kerry, they will have nothing to lose and all to gain. We will be playing on their ground and certainly won't fear us. They will know that we are inconsistant and can struggle against weaker opposition. They will fancy their chances against us more than any of the remaining leinster sides. All the pundits will obviously predict a Wexford easy victory but will the favourites tag suit us? If we reproduce the form they showed against Kilkenny then we will almost certainly win with something to spare. But if we lapse into complacency and underperform a shock could be in store. With Wexford you never know what you'll get. It's been the story of our lives. Let's hope we bring our A game because anything less may not be good enough.

Do you seriously think that the losers of Antrim or Kerry will give us a game a week after they lose the biggest game they will get to play all year. They would not be in a fit state to play a game of such importance for at least 3 weeks after that final. So far there have been two years where this game has taken place and both times the Home team that had lost the Joe Mc the week before lost by a whopping 23pts.. Westmeath to us and Carlow to Limerick. It might not be 23pts this year but it will be a lot closer to that than a Home Victory. Paull (Wexford) - Posts: 210 - 27/05/2022 21:53:04 2420549 Link

All those statements you made Paull may well be true and valid but what I'm saying is that we go into that game as if we are playing one of the higher ranking teams. Just because we beat Kilkenny doesn't make us world beaters. Of course the losing team will be hurting after losing their final but history doesn't always repeat itself. Kerry or Antrim may well have a different attitude when playing against us. They could say to themselves " Look we may have lost the final but let's give this game against Wexford a real go. They more than likely won't beat us but all I'm saying is for us to be well up for that game. We simply can't let our guard down. What happened to the losers in the mcdonagh final in the last few years may not happen this year. Can't understand your thinking that it would take the losers at least 3 weeks to be in a fit state to play in the preliminary quarter final. We can't afford to assume that just because it happened before that it will happen again. Caution i think is the key word for that game. We should of course be confident but we shouldn't treat them lightly. Samson55 (Wexford) - Posts: 103 - 28/05/2022 12:13:53 2420579 Link

If Kerry win they still have to also play Tip for a place in Munster Championship next year which is a complete farce. So if they get a heavy beating they then have to go out and face Tipp in a game they should never have to play - its a joke. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 2040 - 28/05/2022 12:47:45 2420584 Link

If they win they should be automatically promoted the same as Antrim. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16841 - 28/05/2022 14:36:07 2420606 Link
Galway only just overcame Laois minors by 3 points. Apparently a very close game. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16841 - 28/05/2022 14:47:15 2420609 Link
Replying To Viking66: "For sure. If they win they should be automatically promoted the same as Antrim." This was driven by Cork and obviously the sheep followed them out the gap. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3163 - 28/05/2022 14:48:19 2420610 Link
