Maybe there should.

Seriously though if they’re going to go and ask people to pay to watch the games on GAA Go then surely they should be live at least.

I’m a Leitrim football supporter. I’d be delighted to have deferred coverage of games I can’t attend.

Be grateful for what you have.

That’s a clamping

Being grateful for what you have and not striving for better is exactly the kind of attitude that has Leitrim in the GAA doldrums for so long.

Not a clamping.

Okay guys here’s the Wexford team:

As mentioned on numerous occasions, I’m fairly nervous about our defence even with Shaun Murphy dropping back to sweeper.

The corner backs and wing backs lack height and a couple of them aren’t the strongest physically either. In fairness it’s Damien Reck’s first year out of minor and he’s a really good prospect but he’s pretty small.

I’m surprised by 2 and 5 but Eoin Moore still seems to be injured and Donohoe missed last week (but had a tough outing against Offaly). 3, 4, 6 and 7 are definite championship starters but I don’t think the mix is quite right back there. Kilkenny have some tall, strong, physical forwards and I’m more than a little wary of match ups.

68

Will you be attending this or the football in Monaghan, mate?

69

I definitely won’t be attending the hurling but I might get to Clones as I’ll be in Monaghan tomorrow.

Connor McDonald at wing forward?

@bandage, can you draw out likely starting formation and positions please?

71

What’s a sweeper?

McDonald’s been playing in both the half forward and full forward lines at different stages in the league. Makes sense to move him around a bit when you’re only playing 5 forwards rather than leave him inside in a 2 v 3 throughout. I don’t expect there to be anything too innovative about Wexford’s set up. Probably:

Fanning;
Devereux, Ryan, Breen;
Murphy;
Reck, O’Hanlon, O’Keeffe;
Nolan, O’Connor;
McDonald, Chin, Redmond;
Morris, Dunne.

That half forward could interchange with any of them spending time at centre forward.

McDonald will probably head into the full forward line at different stages with Morris or Dunne swapping out to the half forward line.

73

Has the KK team been named?

Holden at FB would be great news for McDonald & Wexford.

It only has the galway and kk games. But last weekend the advertised all four. They must have expected two games on Saturday

Is GAA go a good deal ??

78

In overall I think so for the season ticket. Watching single matches is pricey but you’ll pay it if you really need it.,The playback option is good. It’s great to get the Sunday game. I know we all knock it but it’s a great little tradition to watch it.

79

I haven’t checked since last weekend but are you telling me these cunts have reneged on showing Cork/Limerick???

It doesn’t matter , we’re bet ! The conveyor belt has ground to a halt, our key players have no interest and Cody has lost the dressing room. Kilkenny by 9 points I’d say
