I’ll resist the temptation to be a cunt and point out the other spelling mistake :stuck_out_tongue:

Possibly Paddy Colfer. Most of the other forwards would only be in their mid 20’s at the most. Deeley should be back properly fit and challenging next season as well. Our starting 6 forwards against Tyrone were Banville, Colfer, Byrne, Lyng, Barry, Forde. Add Brosnan, Cullen, Deeley, Flynn, Roche to that list and you’ve a fairly decent set of forwards challenging for 6 positions. I’d see Forde, Lyng and Red being the only certainties starting and any 3 of the above would be more than capable of standing in.

did i hear a whisper about philly wallace. hope he stays on, has plenty left to offer.

23

Another in his early 30’s. He got the run around against Laois but came back well later in the season as shown by his 2 points against Tyrone!!

If any of them are to go I’d say it’d be Wallace, Colfer and Stafford. Colm Morris would be in the same age bracket but couldnt see him going. There’s ready made replacements there for most of them except Wallace unfortunately. David Murphys younger brother is a decent full back from what I’ve heard but I’ve only ever seen him play at Centre Back. Would be good to see him get some exposure this year in the senior squad.

Where you from by the way fenway?

im a corkman, but would know philly. sound fella, a true gent

25

We’ve got a shitload of forward talent alright but we need to strengthen at the back. Centre back’s a position we need to nail down in my opinion.

26

in fairness i think murphy holds the centre well enough. ye badly need a bit more mobility around the middle.

27

kinsella will bring that mobility to the middle of the field that is needed… Jason Ryan had Brendan “Bockie” Doyle playing the best football of his career this summer… unfortunately he didnt perform aswell as would of been liked for during club games… but what ryan did was he got doyle to do what any man of 6’5 should do best and pluck the ball out of the air … and instead of trying to use his feet to simple handpass it off… the key was to have players looking for the handpass…

stafford would be as well to retire as i can’t see him making the panel anyway… wallace id like to see stay on another year but we need to start finding a replacement… there was talks of david murphy moving back full back and brian malone taking the centre back role last year i thought …

Peter Hughes is going to be also looking to try secure a spot in the forwards… but reckon 4 places are nearly guaranteed with Mattie, Red, Lyng and Banville…

The Joe Bradley Memorial Cup was plunged into turmoil tonight when the Wexford District were awarded a 2-10 to 1-12 victory over New Ross District despite reporters and independent observers at the match recording the scoreline as a New Ross District win on a 1-13 to 2-9 scoreline.

The final matches of the round robin 4-district football competition, used to give players on the fringe of Jason Ryan’s Wexford squad with the opportunity of forcing their way into next year’s plans, is scheduled to take place under lights in Patrick’s Park, Enniscorthy, next Friday night. But there’s now uncertainty as to standings going into those games and it’s believed the referee (Paddy Stamp from Castletown) has gone into hiding.

Gorey District defeated Enniscorthy District by 2-8 to 1-7 in the other game tonight.

good enough, put them scalders back in their box

30

were u at the games bandage … any decent young blood coming up… i heard today that they are using these games as so called trial games for u-21 level also

31

No, wasn’t at the games but news of the controversy has spread throughout the county like wildfire. Yep, there’s a good age spread across the teams and the U-21 and junior teams should benefit too.

32

patricks park is a pitch not liked by a few of the ross districts teams to say the least…replay i say… i could probably take a few guesses at who the ref could of been … as there is probably more poor ones in the county than decent ones

33

Any idea of what new lads are playing for the district sides Bandage?

34

padjo its all new lads… noone who represented the county at senior level this year anyway are playin … mainly for the reason they are currently on team holiday… but the competition is been used for Jason Ryan to see talents within the county bar his championship panel i think… The 4 games are been used to trials for the the u-21, junior and senior panels for 2009. I know of 1 or 2 players in my own club who were called one of whom was on the panel before but opted out last year as was only back from injury and wanted to travel and another who couldnt commit as is still in action with club u-21’s.
hopefully it will give ryan a good idea of some fresh blood which he can start trying out in the o byrne cup which starts jan 4th isnt it…

What club are you from girl?

36

my club is one of the smaller clubs in the county which were unfortuate in their intermiede championship this year … with the small man in you profile picture playing in the middle of the field … unfortunately he didnt play as well for club this year as he did for county

37

Bandit country :mad:

38

I dont think so … 2009 will be our year… all in all with bad luck this year the club managed their first camoige title, district junior d football, district u-21 double i think and still in minor too i think…

Wexford face cash crisis after spending increases

By Colm Keys

Wednesday December 17 2008

Wexford GAA delegates will learn tonight of a potential financial crisis in the county when they gather for the annual convention in the Ferrycarrig Hotel.

The figures, even in the current climate, will be slightly startling, with hikes across all major categories.

The board will show a deficit of 251,473 for 2008, compared to 108,083 the previous year.

This despite an income of 2,931,872, up from 2,265,217.

However, expenditure rose by almost 800,000 from 2,373,300 to 3,183,345.

Inevitably, the magnificent journey of the football team in Leinster and all the way to the All-Ireland semi-finals has proved a financial challenge.

Team expenses increased from 670,539 to 836,513.

Players’ travelling expenses, covering all inter-county teams, rose from 174,498 to 247,034, while team administration showed an increase from 100,648 to 143,894.

Wages and salaries increased sharply too, from 87,419 to 178,838 – an increase of more than 100pc. The coaching and games-development figure rose from 325,353 to 363,493.

Questions

Bank interest also remains high and questions are likely to be asked of the key officials, particularly how the cost of administration and running teams has soared so sharply.

There was better news for Kilkenny, whose hurling dominance has been mirrored by their off-field structures as county board officials revealed a profit of over 200,000 for the financial year.

Kilkenny’s accounts are in the black for a fifth successive year after the county’s senior, intermediate, U-21 and minor hurlers completed the Grand Slam of All-Ireland titles.

Income of 3,483,000 was recorded against expenditure of 3,274,000, leaving a profit of 209,000.

483,000 was spent on team expenses in 2007 but that figure has risen to 565,000, up 82,000.

Kilkenny’s National League share was down substantially from 152,000 to 59,000, a drop of 93,000 that can be partially explained by the fact that the Cats contested the final last year but exited the competition at the semi-final stage in April this year.

That loss was somewhat compensated for by the allocation of 24,000 as Kilkenny’s senior footballers returned to the NFL for the first time since 1999.
