McInerney isn’t as slow as in being indicated here .

Ashman · May 27, 2018, 9:06pm

They said hello in the final too that year .

Ooooooft

Wexford1996 · May 27, 2018, 9:08pm

I was thinking that myself too. O’ Hanlon for Wexford is definitely slower. More likely to get away it in the half back line than full back line anyway. O’ Hanlon got exposed quiet a bit at full back but hasn’t been an issue since he moved out the field.

He was poor today. Very lucky boy that goal was disallowed. He’s poor more often than not. would they try him midfield instead of Coen? Might be better suited further out.

GeoffreyBoycott · May 27, 2018, 9:08pm

McInerney saw off Lee Chin, Patrick Maher and Austin Gleeson in Croke Park last summer. Big game player.

Ashman · May 27, 2018, 9:09pm

He won’t win a 100 Metres gold at the olympics but not many would roast him for pace .

Ashman · May 27, 2018, 9:10pm

He is and prone to lashing out .

maroonandwhite · May 27, 2018, 9:10pm

Yeah he can sweep onto a loose ball well but then was coen ever a tight enough marker? More of a sweeper in his vaccum cleaning days but what then about harte. Coens shot selection and execution was well below required today, still well able to mix it there, id be reluctant to unbalance that relationship

You tipped limerick to win the all Ireland last week Jeff.

Ambrose_McNulty · May 27, 2018, 9:14pm

That’s Limerick fucked so.

GeoffreyBoycott · May 27, 2018, 9:16pm

That was until I saw Galway today swatting aside resurgent Kilkenny in 3rd gear. Galway to beat Limerick in the final and chalk up 3 from 3 final wins to go with 1923 and 1980. Gearoid McInerney to be MOTM.

Peejaymc · May 27, 2018, 10:12pm

Wexford are the only team who have definitely qualified for the knock out stages of the championship so far

Bandage · May 27, 2018, 10:27pm

Aidan Nolan, Patrick Maher and Austin Gleeson.

Galway just held kk to two points from play, and lads suggesting they change their defence.

anon7035031 · May 27, 2018, 10:46pm

Yes but Kilkenny are shite and Limerick are going to win the AI. Keep up.

flattythehurdler · May 27, 2018, 10:50pm

Forgot that. Apologies.

Lazarus · May 27, 2018, 10:55pm

Wexford v Galway next week is the game of the championship. I expect both counties will dominate hurling for the next 20 years, there’s not much happening in Munster and KK are on a downward spiral. Should be a cracker altogether

Bandage · May 28, 2018, 8:14am

Here’s where we see the swings and roundabouts of the schedule kicking in for Wexford.

Offaly were fucked after playing Galway and Kilkenny back to back, and didn’t have the conditioning or depth to deal with 3 tough games in succession. Ergo, we trampled all over them. Handy enough to be able to take off likes of Chin and Rory O’Connor after 50 minutes or so.

But this Galway and Kilkenny double header is tricky. Kilkenny are on their bye week while we play Galway, and we saw what happened when there was a similar event in the league. Kilkenny swept us aside after having a 2-week break between quarter and semi-final, whereas we were flat and stuck to the ground after a tough game against Galway the week before.

We’re guaranteed third already and have two shots at the Leinster Final now. We should play our reserves against the Galway machine next week. No point getting our main men fatigued, injured and demoralised and practically hand Kilkenny the final spot without playing them, as we have no hope of beating Galway at this stage of the season anyway. We should save ourselves for Kilkenny and get to the final that way.

Who suggested they change their defense?
