It's shocking they couldn't do some sort of deal, especially as the ground will likely only be half full.

My daughter went to the Cork game with her friends. Some lad spent 15 minutes trying to convince her Damien Reck was Chinner. He eventually went to buy a programme and was raging. She recognised him by his run because she was reared with the hurlers Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3029 - 11/04/2024 20:07:49 2537410 Link 0 |
It all boils down to the GAA suffocating in its own self-importance over the last decade or so. Media bans, players meant to be robotic in their on field instructions and cannot take risks, those same players flogged with too much training and no proper off-season, the ordinary club player even not allowed a social life anymore. Time-wasting (sorry clock management), feigning injury, fist pumping at opponents after a turnover of possession, basically importing the cynical/annoying aspects of other sports. All way too serious now and not as innocent, hence enjoyable. There is literally no amateur sport like it in the world, and that's not neccesarily a good thing. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1440 - 11/04/2024 20:20:32 2537412 Link 3 |
A Cork lad or a Wexican? I mean Chin is literally the most recognisable lad on the team, I can't believe someone would get him mixed up with Damien Reck. That's fairly shocking. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 258 - 12/04/2024 10:44:49 2537487 Link 0 |
I'd say even Cork hurling fans would know what Lee Chin looks like!

U20 team named. Plenty of changes. Good luck to them all tomorrow hopefully they get the win. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13296 - 12/04/2024 11:01:28 2537491 Link 0 |
To be fair, with the helmets it can be easy to mistake players, or be unsure of who they are. Especially if you are not that familiar with the team.

5 changes in personnel aswel as few positional from the KK game, entire FF line from that game named on the bench.

Why would Luke Murphy not be starting ?

Could be form, taught we got nothing out of our FF line against KK, hopefully he'll rediscover it, he's got plenty of ability.

A lad from st Anne's believe it or not. To be fair the weather wasn't great and the lad probably assumed he was our most influential player given he was having a good game by comparison to his teammates that day. No doubt Chin is generally fairly easy to recognise. Even his physique is unique. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3029 - 12/04/2024 13:27:12 2537525 Link 0 |
What would be our strongest u20 team? I see Eoin Whelan is starting. Is Cian Doyle out for the year? he is a very good talent. Have we many more to come back in for the knockout games? WexMurph (Wexford) - Posts: 211 - 12/04/2024 22:39:35 2537587 Link 0 |
Cian Doyle is out for the year seemingly. Unfortunately.

Better shape. Bright start. Built a lead. Then the workrate dropped. Some lads walking around the pitch. Poor shot selection. Not enough pressure on the ball. Not enough running of the shoulder. Hopefully management give them a shake. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13296 - 13/04/2024 14:43:36 2537645 Link 0 |
Draw game, couldn't be at it but I was following along on Twitter? Seems like the ref was very whistle happy. Am I right in saying Laois only scored 3 points from play? All the years they've had a presence on Twitter I've never seen them complain about the ref. Must have been some seriously controversial decisions.

Wasn't watching the match so can't definitively comment but I don't think I can ever recall a team scoring 0-18 but only two points from play ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 341 - 13/04/2024 15:27:37 2537654 Link 0 |
Laois 2 points from play. 16 frees. We made some very poor decisions on the ball. Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 111 - 13/04/2024 15:33:43 2537655 Link 0 |
We were poor enough. Set up was alot better though. Whelan made some difference at the back, he was injured the last day, he's our best player at this grade. We didn't look like conceding a goal. Lads kept carrying into traffic and getting turned over, or made bad loopy handpasses that were easy intercepted. Workrate needs to be upped, the inside forwards need to make more runs out into space, still not sure Roche is ideal at 11, although he was excellent at the frees . Its a problem this year we don't have as many forwards as we did the last 2 years. Tackling needs to improve also, as does tracking runners. Several times our lads didn't bother running after their man when he passed them. Molloy and Wickham did OK for 2 backs playing inside forwards, Cillian Byrne was maybe wasted a little at wing forward. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13296 - 13/04/2024 16:34:01 2537667 Link 0 |
They were running at us. Our lads need to track runners better, and tackle better. We had around 10 lads on the pitch who are backs with their clubs, you'd expect tackling and tracking back to be better.
