That’s the game that taught me to respect Wexford as a chap and it’s stood the test of time down through the years. Wexford people are the soundest you could meet and I’d look forward to meeting them in any match. There’s fierce rivalry between us but youd have no bother sipping pints with these lads before and after a game

Mac · June 16, 2019, 10:23pm

Aye, I choked on my post there like a Galway team on the verge of winning something

Lazarus · June 16, 2019, 10:25pm

I know your not used to competing at this level but you really need to raise your game

Ambrose_McNulty · June 16, 2019, 10:30pm

All you lads have won in the last 25 years is an angry Klare dwarf who charges 80k a year.

Mac · June 16, 2019, 10:35pm

Oh the seethe

Ambrose_McNulty · June 16, 2019, 10:36pm

Strange how it took you ten minutes to type that.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · June 16, 2019, 10:39pm

@padjo needs to have a quiet word with @Mac about how to play this

Bandage · June 16, 2019, 10:39pm

Please don’t take it out on us Wexford folk, @Lazarus, @Ambrose_McNulty.

Ambrose_McNulty · June 16, 2019, 10:40pm

@mac is hysterical after Wexford’s three draws.

Lazarus · June 16, 2019, 10:40pm

He’s too transfixed by the iconic jumper Fitzy was wearing that day to focus.
Or maybe he’s just pissed again

Ambrose_McNulty · June 16, 2019, 10:41pm

We’ve no problem with Wexford mate, it’s just that cunt @mac .

kerry1891 · June 16, 2019, 10:42pm

will the wexicans swell the leinster final attendance? 40K?

Lazarus · June 16, 2019, 10:42pm

@Bandage certainly will

Bandage · June 16, 2019, 10:43pm

Mac · June 16, 2019, 10:47pm

Rent free lads, rent free

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · June 16, 2019, 10:49pm

Looks like our gentle ribbing has ruined @Macs weekend

Weird

Best score I saw in the flesh , then came Ciaran in 1996 v Clare

I was on the upper deck of the Hogan Stand level with the 21 yard line at the Canal End. You couldn’t have had a better seat to watch that point unfold.

Shane Warne certainly thought that match stood the test of time - he was raving about being at it during the commentary of a test match between Australia and India four or five years back - however he mistakenly said it was the All-Ireland final between Kilkenny and Galway he had attended.

I had a lovely little almost annual tradition of going to Kilkenny-Wexford matches at Croke Park as a kid. '87, '88, '91, '92, '93. But I didn’t go to the replay either as I went to the mudbath of Clones for the Derry-Donegal Ulster final instead. I’ve never attended a Kilkenny-Wexford championship match since*.

*I was at the second half of the 2007 All-Ireland semi-final between the teams, but that wasn’t a match. It’s the only time I can think of that a match was a curtain raiser to another match at a less advanced round of the championship.

My first trip to Croke Park was 1987, Wexford v KK. KK won and Wexford wore purple on top of the gold bellies that year. Any pics out there I wonder?

We were top of the Cusack, Hill 16 end.
