Good peice in the Herald AM in which Stephen Cluxton slams the Dublin fans that pack out Croker for the Championship and are nowhere to be seen for the rest of the season. his exact quote was

“…where are all these people coming from and do they even support the game, or are they just looking for a day out? The dont understand the term (supporter) I dont think”

Not sure what to make of the draws from a Wexford point of view really as the relative importance of the provincial championships isn’t as high as it was in the past. It might have been more worthwhile to meet Kilkenny in a semi-final and then get a few qualifier games under our belts if we lost rather than taking another probable final hiding. We have a smashing record against Meath in recent years so we wouldn’t fear them despite their resurgence.

For once in my life, I might actually be up for Roscummon in a GAA match.

If they get over Galway, we will have them in Pairc Sean (assuming we take care of NY) whereas we will have to travel to Salthill if Galway win. I know which is the easier prospect.

A Connacht Final in sHyte Park against Mayo would be nice…memories of '94 flooding back already !!!

??? why do you give a shit about bog football in the west??? have you ever being to fcukin leitrim apart from when you decided to involve yourself in property speculation at the expense of the locals?
