Lads using children’s hurling matches to try to land a blow on you is desperate stuff.
Great post earlier about 2019 earlier btw. I sure acknowledge we got the refereeing rub of the green that day. Accepting that, there was a stage in the first half when I thought we were going to win it when Shaun Murphy was careering forward into the Tipp half over & over again, with Bubbles O’Dwyer quizzically looking at him & then staring at the bench. There was a stage where Tipp didn’t know what to do & were caught like rabbits in the head lights.
I’ve never watched the game back but we got a reprieve after we started to panic &/or hit the wall physically. Tipp had cut into our lead with a few points & we got a scuttery goal that should have settled us down. But we didn’t manage to RECENTER ourselves. I can still see in my mind’s eye an incident after that goal where I think we could have definitively won it. Conor McDonald won a ball in front of his marker, centrally around 40 yards out & had a panicked shot on the turn that went wide. I can’t recall who it was but we had another player bursting through on an untracked straight run into open green space behind McDonald & his marker. If McDonald had flicked/handpassed the ball into his path then it would have been a clear run in on goal for a 1 v 1.
@Bandage Can you pin point a moment in time where Wexford became such after thoughts in hurling? Is there a worry locally ye like turn into an Offaly, Laois or a Tipperary?
I won’t answer that question right now, but I’m going to attend Dublin-Wexford on Saturday evening. This will be my first Wexford game since the reverse fixture in last year’s round robin & I hope to draw some conclusions after I watch Wexford live. I therefore vow to revert back to you early next week.
