Waterford v Wexford - The battle for armchair supporter moral high ground

Imagine he was brought on and scored the insurance point.

Just like he did against Kilkenny.

Ha ha again, mate.

You’re going to be alright fellow.

I think I’ll watch this for the laugh

I think watching here during the game is where the laughs will be kid .

It’s the main GAA event of the day, mate.

It’s the only game on today isn’t it?

Would it not, conversely, also represent the ultimate trust in the potential of human beings?

Gizzy should do an Adam Curtis parody if he really believes this.

"But hurling was about to enter a new and terrifying phase, driven by the vision of savage hurling men. And for the roots of that vision we must return to the dark days of the Cold War. The sweeper system grew out of a dystopian vision of the potential of human beings. Savage hurling men began to believe that, left unchecked, a full forward line could level whole counties in five seconds flat.

The roots of this idea began in Waterford, who vowed that the terrible consequences of the 2011 Munster final must never, ever be repeated. To stop this from happening again, they devised a new system, where midfielders or even forwards would act as extra defenders, and thus stop this destruction. This new doctrine was called, simply, “The System”.

But then the strangest thing happened. Details of “The System” were leaked to other counties, who started copying it. “The System” would then lead to unintended consequences that not even the most savage hurling man could have predicted.

When two teams simultaneously used “The System”, both teams stopped attacking. And by stopping both teams from attacking, paradoxically, an idea that was designed for self-preservation was to lead to the one thing that savage hurling men feared the most. “The System” would lead to the exact scenario of mutually assured destruction that would destroy the game of hurling forever."

This is the third time these Wexford and Waterford teams have met in championship action over the last few years.

Or abbreviated, it’s WWIII.

The closer this gets towards throw in, the more I’m feeling Wexford could do this.

A Wexford Tipp All ireland final would be unrale

Better leaving the traffic off

Have Wexford named a team yet?

Still no.

Same 15 as Leinster Final in programme, albeit with different forward alignment.

I’m expecting a couple of changes to be announced.

I’d say Devereux can’t wait to break his hurl and stab someone in the eye with it.

Davys pulse to exceed 200bpm which will see him levitating up over the dugouts for large sections of the second half

On my way down to this. Is it Blaas in the Blackrock end and Wexicans in the City end?

New nail varnish mate ?
