Replying To Viking66:  "It's the best trip of the year. Coffee in Birr, across through Portumna."
Have to agree love going to Galway think it might be a profitable journey as well we wait and see but have a feeling big game in us.

I'll spin over from West Dublin, only 2 hours or so from here. Getting to be a chore driving home with ifs and what ifs but that's the way its mostly been in my life and now I've passed that burden on to my 9yo born in Dublin big Wexford fan

Replying To OpenStandWall:  "Even if we end up finishing third we all know what's coming."
Indeed. A trip to that dump Semple stadium for a Saturday game in June at stupid o'clock for a quarter final where we will likely be pitted against Clare(surprise, surprise) or some other Munster team that will blow us away with the minimum of fuss. Can't wait.

Replying To Wexfordgaa:  "Didn't mark fanning score a goal a few years ago that went through the net and wasn't given. I know we won that day but that is also another decision"
Yes that was 2016 in Wexford park

Replying To tearintom:  "Could Fanning have done better with some of the goals (apart from the one he actually saved)

Seen a clip on social media yesterday from behind the goal for one of the Hterthon goals where Fanning actually tries to save it by getting his body out of fhe way and putting the hurl in from the side.

I watch other keepers and they come out like a bull trying to block that ball with whatever part of their body that they can."
He has always had this weird habit of turning his back on the person taking the shot and as you said, diving out of the way. Not really the best policy for saving shots.

Offaly is our biggest game now. If we were to loose that, we'd be on 2 points (I don't see us beating Galway).
Wexford and Offaly would have 2 points each going into the final round. The final round fixtures are Wexford v Kilkenny and Offaly v Antrim. If Antrim got a result...........
