Replying To Wexfordgaa: "Great to hear Murphy is on the mend but I think more important is Shane reck. This game next is a logistical nightmare and then IF we win we will have to go to cork a disaster. Anyway I'm off on Saturday to see the Larry o Gorman legends tour in croker. Should be interesting then scout out next opponent." The Gaa better not send us to Cork for a Quarter Final again. Just 10000 turned up for 2018 quarter final v Clare and not a huge Wexford crowd travelled in 2017 either we were outnumbered by Waterford . Much rather the Quarter Final in Thurles Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 01/06/2022 14:30:56 2421585 Link

Replying To Afinestick: "Surely it would have made more sense to promise them the Munster final rather than dragging us down there" Sense is not a word to attribute to the powers in croke park. They'll get their answer if it's ourselves and Clare. Cork gaa decided a concert was more important to them than a home Munster match this year HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 556 - 01/06/2022 16:12:05 2421626 Link
Replying To Oldtourman: "Tom Ryan to Westmeath., TJ Ryan to Galway (St Thomases), Shane O'Neill to Galway, Joe Quaid to Kildare, Michael O'Grady to Dublin, Antrim and was he in Wexford- and that's only Limerick men. The cheek of you to suggest that Munster men do not spread the hurling gospel and your last three Managers all proud Munster men- where would ye be without us at all at all." Kevin Ryan spent half a live time driving up and down to Antrim. Paul Flynn went and help Down for a period. Molumphy is currently Kerry manager. Michael Ryan manager in Westmeath for a considerable time. Derek McGrath helping Laois minors. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3163 - 01/06/2022 16:54:26 2421638 Link
There is no way Wexford should have to go to Cork. On top of that giving home advantage to one team in a quarter final is not fair. Like was said they choose a concert over a home game in the championship already. Are the GAA going to spit in the eye again of the ones who cannot exert the most influence. This is not just a Wexford concern but one for all GAA people. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 3163 - 01/06/2022 17:03:12 2421644 Link

Wexford county board should not object to Cork as being the venue if they want supporters to travel in droves . Not many families will travel 3 hours there and back in the one day Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 01/06/2022 17:47:58 2421662 Link
Replying To Yellow: "No I think that complacency killed us the last time vs Westmeath. The way to avoid complacency is to start lads who are not automatic starters and let them prove themselves." Can't go along with that I'm afraid. If they were complacent against Westmeath, and maybe they were, then they certainly won't be cocky against Antrim or Kerry. Let's go out with our strongest team as other poster said and just get the job done. All our energies must go into that game. I don't see Kevin Foley in the first 15 as he isn't in form right now. My team v mc Donagh losers would be I Fanning 2 Donoghoe 3 Ryan 4 Devit 5 P Foley 6 Reck 7 Flood 8 McGovern 9 o'keeffe 10 J o'connor 11 Chin 12 O Foley 13 R o'connor 14 McDonald 15 Dwyer Samson55 (Wexford) - Posts: 103 - 01/06/2022 18:38:19 2421681 Link
Replying To Afinestick: "Surely it would have made more sense to promise them the Munster final rather than dragging us down there" A Munster final in Cork would have made some sense. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 01/06/2022 18:50:47 2421682 Link

Replying To countyman2022: "It will be in Cork. they have been promised a Q-Final and with Cork already in a Q final....." How come Wexford have to go to Cork. Thurles is far more convenient for supporters from either Clare or Limerick and of course it is totally ridiculous that Wexford should dragged about eighty miles further than if the game was staged in Thurles. The Cork County could not even have their own pitch available for major Home Munster Championship games and now this greed is awarded by giving them quarter Finals before far more deserving and more central County Grounds. No wonder crowd numbers are plummeting. Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4522 - 01/06/2022 21:09:08 2421699 Link

I'd bring him instead of JOC and move Flood up to wing-forward. Provided we get over the next obstacle, I'd be ear-marking Matt to pick up David Fitzgerald or Ian Galvin if it's Clare, or Gearoid Hegarty if it's Limerick (however unlikely). beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1503 - 02/06/2022 10:11:56 2421733 Link
I think conal flood is a good hurler but he causes untold problems when he plays wing back way too loose and too far up the field snd forgets to track bzck quick enough . Firstly against killkenny in the Walsh Cup in the Park they created several goal chances just did nt convert them through the space left open by conal flood . Secondly v Dublin in championship several scores csme from his wing by him not being in position . I only commented on these fames as had attended watching on TV yiu can't judge positional sense of a player . If I were opposing manager it certainly would be an area I would target if he was playing wing back. He deserves a place on squad team but not as a wing bzck though will upset the balance of whole back line covering fur him we will get exposed again .

Yeah, Playing O'Hanlon and bringing Flood into the half forward line might work. That line would be very mobile with Chin, Flood and Foley. 20 man game though so personnel and positions will be quite fluid i suppose.
