Replying To ExiledInWex: "Is 11.99 not a bit pricey for an underage game with 1 camera? I am hoping to go to the game and see family and I get the argument that it saves travelling costs, etc but at the same time I think its a bit much considering GAA Go don't charge more for a senior match?" In an earlier post I wrongly said that the u20 Wexford v Dublin game was available to buy on gaago. It is in fact on clubber TV. Apologies if I caused confusion.

Replying To ExiledInWex: "Because the GAA tolerate these issues more than many organisations. They also tolerate people hitting referees and deal with these issues in terms of unenforacable bans. The statement from Tipperary on Saturday before they condoned the incident was washing their hands of the individual. A much more appropriate statement would have been: "An incident occurred, the Gardai were called and the individual was arrested on the scene. Tipperary GAA have a zero-tolerance approach to such abuse of players". He might not be anything to do with them, but their reaction has everything to do with them. Imagine racially abusing somebody at a rugby match and the IRFU coming out with a statement where the first line is "the individual is nothing to do with us" followed by generic jargon. The GAA tolerate these incidents more. I grew up in Northside of Dublin and these sort of incidents would not have been tolerated then let alone now. I get it was a more diverse place but this incident must not be brushed under the carpet and forgotten any more than the next referee being assaulted should be. What will happen now? Move on, the statement dealt with it? Did it?" The problem exiledinwex is racism in Ireland is not classified as a crime. Therefore the garda cannot take action if no crime has been committed. Ridiculous in the extreme to put it mildly. Why haven't our esteemed legislators acted on this very serious problem that exists today. So it's high time our tds stopped sitting on their hands and bring into law so as to make the offenders pay with a jail sentence or a very heavy fine. If not the racists will continue to abuse our players and those living in our country with a different colour. It has to stop and the sooner the better.

Is Mark Fanning injured? I'm wondering why he wasn't a member of the panel last Saturday. ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 619 - 15/04/2023 11:51:51 2471048 Link
Can't say the first half of the U20 game has been a successful advertisement of the new Championship structure. I'm all for there being a second chance at U20 but this format feels like it lacks a bit of edge. Wexford's ball in to the forwards has been terrible although Dublin have let them off in attack, looked like Dublin had a big wind advantage in the first half ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 619 - 15/04/2023 14:34:32 2471071 Link
Extremely poor performance here at the minute for the under 20 hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1150 - 15/04/2023 15:05:12 2471074 Link
The less said about Wexford's performance in that U20s game, the better. Bad first half, even worse second half. Shooting was bad, decision-making was bad, passing was bad, ball-winning was bad, distribution was bad, defending was bad. ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 619 - 15/04/2023 15:26:59 2471078 Link
Dissapointing result in the u20 but Dublin are good and have am excellent record at this age group the last 10/15 years. The Galway Kilkenny game sounded like a dinger. I see the 3 lads from Kilkenny who missed the Wexford game scored 4-17 between out the 5-20 they scored. Talked to few lads who dismissed their loss the last day, just goes to show the difference a few lads can make at this level. Saying all that, with all 4 teams going through it doesn't really matter, seems like a wide open championship which is great to see but if everyone has everyone I'd imagine Kilkenny would be favorites for it. Be interesting to see if the senior lads from both Galway and Wexford will be playing next Friday or will they be pulled. I'd prefer if the lads stayed with the u20s and give the tournament the respect it deserves by having full teams available, diminishes the competitive otherwise. Dublin do look very good, very comprehensive winners tonight and their huge comeback win v Galway the week before. Good to see Leinster so competitive.

Very poor performance today by our u20s. Dublin really coasted to victory and were not flattered by an 8 point win. We never looked like scoring a goal. The Dubs defence toyed with our weak forward line. Hard to see us going much further in this competition. We gave them a lot of frees and were sloppy in the close exchanges. Dublin were smarter in every position. Maybe there is more to this team than what we witnessed today. Although I would be very worried about our prospects for the remainder of the championship. Side note-- clubber TV were simply terrible today. No commentary whatsoever!!!! Bad enough with using one camera shooting from distance and charging € 11.99 for the privilege. Not good enough Clubber. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 545 - 15/04/2023 16:11:44 2471085 Link
Hard luck to the u20s. Hopefully they can exact some revenge if they meet again when it gets down to the business end. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16841 - 15/04/2023 16:13:34 2471086 Link
Really poor stuff today in Parnell park. Think it was one of them days touch poor nothing went right. Ref had an absolute shocker. There was an incident in the first half where Dublin threw up the ball and caught it. Luke Murphy was sandwiched in the penalty area aswell. Probably 3 other incidents where we sshold have gotten a free. Shooting was terrible they weren't even close a lot of the wides were 10 yards wide. Corey Dunbar Byrne taken off at half time is a worry. Pepper not starting is a worry and cian byrne going off injured is a worry. Wexfordgaa (Wexford) - Posts: 371 - 15/04/2023 16:16:07 2471087 Link

Why even mention the ref ? zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 2041 - 15/04/2023 17:29:54 2471092 Link
Replying To zinny: "Why even mention the ref ?" We have bigger problems than the Ref! I can't figure how the puckouts were been run? Time after time we gave the ball away from them, was this a tactic? Because it certainly didn't work, distribution was terrible, turnovers off the charts. No real return from the forwards, Corey Dunbar, Oisín Pepper,Luke Murphy zero return. Byrne missed a few frees maybe Luke Roche a better option? At one stage it was like looking at football, short passing 40 yard out instead of getting ball in fast, terrible stuff, what's wrong with a conventional set up? They seemed very unsure what was been asked of them. Score line flattered Wexford, Dublin were the better team by a long shot. Our forwards are physically not able to compete,too many small nice hurlers but not enough grunt. Why not Farrell from Bunclody at Centre forward ,6.5 under puckouts, Seamie O Hagan,lanother big strong and fast forward. Needs a shake up if we are to progress. See KK boys were firing today with full team,4-16 or something scored by 3 missing last week. Management need to keep to a simple game plan, Dunedin and Carley handed ball back to Dublin time after time but they persisted with this? Management shouldn't be free from been questioned as well just thought they poor today. Tox73 (Wexford) - Posts: 185 - 16/04/2023 00:20:20 2471127 Link

Wexford were second to every ball and second best all over the pitch. Out battled, out fought, out thought. That is why they lost, not because of the referee. Not something I like saying but it is the case. I did feel the victory over a Kilkenny team without half of their starting forwards was over hyped. Yet again the question of playing Wexford and Galway in Croke Park raises its head. Nobody likes coming to PP. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1461 - 16/04/2023 11:16:37 2471160 Link

It was like day and night watching our play from last Saturday to yesterday. No intensity, slow letting the balls onto the forwards,work rate etc.. non-existence. Corey must of been injured to come off at ht, Byrne was a big loss just after half time and to loss whelan from full back line from the last day and then losing Dundon at full back later in the half didn't help. But no excuses we were way off the pace yesterday and credit to Dublin. On a final note not playing Oisin Pepper is just baffling for me. hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1150 - 16/04/2023 15:23:36 2471203 Link

I'd say all 4 teams are experimenting during this phase of the competition. I wouldn't be reading too much into that performance, same as I wasn't getting carried away after the last win. We don't know what physical work Kilkenny were doing during the week before last, or what we were doing during last week. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16841 - 17/04/2023 07:29:37 2471297 Link
Didnt get to see the under 20 as I was working. Disappointed with the result . It will be important the lads bounce back Friday night. Moving onto the seniors only 5 days to go until our championship begins. How are the injuries looking now? Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 17/04/2023 09:03:59 2471302 Link

Yeah I'd agree completely, with the competition structure I wouldn't fully judge the 4 teams in the group until the knockout stage, that said was a disappointing performance on Saturday, a real lack of urgency, guilty of over playing and far to often carrying the ball needlessly into the tackle and outworked all over the field, Derek Mcgrath is involved in the Dublin team and he could see of his traits on Saturday with alot of off the shoulder running etc. The game on Friday is moved from Portlaoise to Carlow so a shorter journey for those travelling.
