News to me
You havenât a clue mate. What a clueless synopsis of the game.
Pal, take off the blinkers. Waterford only got into gear for about 20 minutes and still won pulling up.
We were atrocious. Look at the mess Waterford were when Derek McGrath took over and look at them now. Three years of steady progression, playing a system that suits the players they have at their disposal. Have we improved one iota since the start of the league in 2014? No, in fact weâve gone backwards.
The team looks devoid of spirit and drive. The whole thing is flat, no fire and brimstone which is something youâd always associate with us - even when we had much inferior players than the current squad.
You are over rating the players to come back in too also. How many players have we that have consistently delivered in championship? And that would get in the Waterford, Clare, Tipp, Kilkenny or Galway teams? Iâd venture Quaid and Browne only. A lot of promising young lads admittedly but there seems to be no guidance there as to how to get the best out of them.
Ah Iâm just very disillusioned by the whole thing. Can accept losing but when a lot of the wounds are self inflicted itâs sickening. Fucking sickening.
I didnât at any point give a synopsis of the game. Whoâs clueless now chubbs?
Yeah, but I expected it to be worse. What did you expect? In light of how bad I expected us to be, we actually werenât that bad.
My team for the Championship.

Time for some hard calls.
Gav, Hickey & the two Lynchs dropped. Paudie OâBrien dropped as well (obviously).
Forwards all rotating apart from Jim Bob who drops out towards midfield.
OâDonovan is a bit of a bolter but I think Teege has given him a raw deal. Iâd like to drop Richie as well and stick English in there but Iâm not confident of anyone else in the full back line.
We lost by 11 points to a Waterford team that were barely interested in the first half - how is it not that bad? Did you expect us to lose by 21 points?
There are no crumbs of comfort whatsoever after that second half capitulation.

There was an acceptable quota of Na Piarsaigh lads on so he doesnât give a shit.

Yes. We had POB at centre back and did you see our selection of forwards?

Fanny and William died without issue.
So what? You think Teege will just realise all of a sudden what a fucking eejit he is come championship?
Waterford were only in third gear yesterday.
The cunt stood frozen on the sideline and the game slipping away - why didnt he WHACK IT? He should have pushed everyone on and told them go direct- it was car crash stuff watching defenders fucking around with it and getting caught.
I hope not. Heâd be riddled with remorse and self doubt and the only thing that will help us keep things respectable is belief. Believe Julio!
Sorry i got ye mixed up.

I might Regig the forwards a bit but letâs get the back midfield right first.I am a fan of Gav but he is under pressure. A central role might suit hom better. Tom Morrissey can hit the fress. If Mike Casey shows well he displces Condon. No modern day hurler should be overweight.
Iâd have liked to see a team like that in the league. Too radical now at this stage, too many unknowns.
Hegarty isnât flying in training at all and isnât ever going to be good enough at half back.

I firmly believe that Hegarty will make a fine inter county player. But only time will tell.
+1 the kind of lad who wonât break through til heâs 23 or 4, we expect guys to come out of 21s fully formed these days but thatâs not everyone.
