Mahony has been selected as a forward.

495

He was wing back on the selected team, but I would expect him to start at centre forward.

496

Badly rode by officials. Credit to Padraig Mahoney for his classy interview after.

Agreed

Good start to proceedings here in Limerick. That’s a handy minor team.

Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Waterford were missing four of their back line from last years All Ireland final today - Shane & Darragh Fives, Tadhg de Burca and Barry Coughlan, having to play injured players because resources were so threadbare and having to make do without some of their top players Noel Connors, Pauric Mahony, Austin Gleeson, Kevin Moran, Shane Bennett and Maurice Shanahan in their first two games.

You really don’t like Waterford though so you’ll put in the chip digs when they’re down and have handled adversity with dignity and magnanimity. I reckon it all goes back to you predicting Cork to hammer Waterford in last years semi final for weeks beforehand only for Cork to get hammered by 11 points.

Christ almighty, they were shit today, don’t be so fucking petty

You’re the one that’s been petty when its comes to Waterford. We get it, you’re from East Cork close to the Waterford border and you don’t like them. Waterford upset you so much you were even having a cut at @Fagan_ODowd for his magnanimity in not having a cut at that gobshite of a referee and umpire last week.

You’re really acting the cunt here, totally needless

Waterford by and large are alright sorts. You’d feel sorry for their fans.

You’re the one that’s been acting the cunt when it comes to this Waterford team for a long time now. Nobody in Waterford is under any illusions that they’re not quite there. 2018 has been a write off due to injury, bad luck and a system loaded against them (which the Waterford county board is also culpable for) but they’ve taken it on the chin and not made any complaints or issue of their misfortune. They’re a good group of lads and players and management have always carried themselves with dignity. They went closest of any Waterford team since 1959 last year, were in the semis in 2015 and 16 (losing narrowly in a replay), two league finals in 2015 and 16, winning one and losing the other by a point in a replay. Yet you’ve been constantly on all that time carping about everything they do.

Maybe you should focus on your own house in Cork, with a pick of almost the size of every hurling county put together and why Cork are on their longest drought at senior level without an All Ireland since the 1920’s, longest every drought at U21 level stretching back to 1998 and longest every drought at minor stretching back to 2001.

Fucking hell, will you give it a fucking rest.
I said that they were shit today, hardly unfair and their injury crisis doesn’t affect that summation, i tipped my own county to beat them last year, what a shock.

Stop acting the cunt.

We’re all trying to get to the bottom of this one.

508

very intense irrational hatred of a small harmless enough county.
you’d wonder what happened there to spark that

509

2004 Munster final still rankles with him maybe although most Cork folk would’ve moved on by now seen as they won the AI that year.

510

Rte news reporting that Derek has stepped down.

511

What is the mood on Suirside ??

Sombre. The bell is tolling in the Cathedral.
