If Derek had any wideness about him, he’d keep his mouth shut about Waterford and let others talk him up.

Too addicted to attention

Media whore.

Surprise , surprise … popped up on my suggested videos … two great minds of the modern game, and Lar

Why Limerick must stop Tony Kelly & this is how to beat Kilkenny - Corbett & McGrath's Big Build-up

[anon78624367]

I’m joined here by two men who need zero introduction… on my left you’ve Derek McGrath What a sausage

[grapes]

Jesus but that lad McGrath is very hard to listen to for anything more than 2 sentences. He sounds like he’s about to cry at any second. Lar is a treat in comparison.

[Dollars]

The fucker has zero sense of responsibility for the losses, “we walked into emotional ambushes”, such fuckin tripe, no such words as “we just weren’t good enough”. Give that cunt back the Waterford job quickly and let every county beat them so heavily that they’ll drive any notion of management out of his mind for eternity.

@Dollars

“we walked into emotional ambushes”

Did he really actually say that? I wasn’t keeping account. I think his players used to feel sorry for him when he was there in case they’de upset his feelings so they put in the extra effort for him at the time.

[Dollars]

He said it in regard to the 2015 Munster final and the 2017 All Ireland final. An absolute bag of excuses that lad has, he may need a few more if he’s back in management because he’ll certainly need them.

[grapes]

He’s like a little teddybear.

[Dollars]

I’m sick to the back teeth of the snivelling fucker at this stage, always talking himself up, I bet he cost the Waterford County Board an absolute fortune while he was there with his pampering of that delicate squad, I’d say half those cunts were putting down manicures and tan sessions for expenses and now Fanning tells them to man up and they all fuck the rattler out of the pram at the same time

@kerry1891

tend to agree. FFS Waterford were in freefall last year under McGrath , didnt win a championship match in 2018 and a poor league. His time was up. In 2019 they wont win a championship match but got to a league final. Having McGrath on so many media outlets and harping back to his past success is hardly helpful now.

I don’t buy in to the massacare of Patsy Fanning, ultimately I imagine the team is reasonably well prepared and he wants the best for Waterford. If he is limited , well surely there is enough in the players to put on a show better than they have done last few weeks

Whilst most of this is mostly true I’d say, the team have downed tools under the current management. Blame aside, it cannot continue.

[StoneCold]

No wonder the Waterford players loved McGrath they were all creaming it from unvouched travel expenses on his watch

[Julio_Geordio]

Need to get rid of a few of the older lads. They seem to be toxic. Ozzie/Aussie/Ozzy is becoming a luxury they can’t afford as well. Need to find a position for him. This thing of letting him roam around looking for something to do doesn’t work at all

[balbec]

He’s a poor mans Tony Kelly.

[grapes]

HE NEEDS TO GROW A LONG BEARD AND HIDE OUT IN THE cOMMERAGH MOUNTAINS FOR A FEW YEARS. CUNTING CAPSLOCK!

[flattythehurdler]

Easy to say, but really in an ideal world you’d gradually replace rather than strip out the backbone of a fine team. You get the feeling that the wrong lads retired.

[Julio_Geordio]

Looking at them the last few days out they seem finished. Moran was miles off it

[flattythehurdler]

I know, i don’t know, but I suspect there aren’t a cohort of lads knocking on the door. It’s the trouble when the county hurling panel gets cliquey, they stop looking to refresh. Compare and contrast with any Cody led kilkenny side. No clique and no comfort.

Austin Gleeson reminds me a little of hannon pre kiely. Time for him to go back to 6 and take responsibility.
