Disappointing to see a Dud pull in the wrong direction in an unprovoked attempt to maim you McDonald last night.
Is this a wind up?
Also was Dalton ultimately dropped by Kilkenny or did he just jack it in?

He jacked it in on moral grounds, couldn’t stand the way hurling was going with all these lads diving and feigning injury.
Cody begged him to stay on but he wouldn’t.
When was this, bro? Surprised my keen eye didn’t spot it but there was a very low sun in the capital last night.
It was under the stand in the first half around half way. A cuntish pull I thought. We got a free for something else around the same time.
Greatest Wexford full forwards of all time:
- Conor McDonald.
- Nickey Rackard.
- Tony Doran.
We need to be careful not to place too much expectation/pressure on McDonald.
Some people are losing the run of themselves.

Billy Byrne and Jimmy Holohan beg to differ.
i was out for blood last night luckily 1968 legend shanks whelan was there to hold me back.
Wexford manager Liam Dunne was ‘delighted’ to get Clare star Brendan Bugler’s jersey after last Saturday’s dramatic draw in Ennis.
Dunne was determined to get his hands on the Whitegate half back’s jersey after missing out last year when Clare defeated Wexford after extra-time en route to winning the All-Ireland title.
“I asked him for his jersey,” he revealed to the Clare Champion.
"I got to him last year, but he was after swapping his jersey. He’s a man that I have admired for a long, long time. I think he’s a great bit of stuff and a great hurler.
“He gave me his jersey and I’m delighted going home with that.”

Bizarre behavior
Wicklow referee Anthony Nolan has revealed that a disgruntled Wexford supporter suggested throwing him into the Slaney.
The Model County’s animated fans were upset by Nolan’s performance in last weekend’s thrilling SF Qualifier clash with Laois at Wexford Park and the man in black says a supporter approached him after the final whistle and told him that “you and John Keenan should be tied together and f**ked in the Slaney.”
Regarding the carefully-edited ‘highlights’ video of his performance which was posted on the Wexford GAA YouTube channel after the match, Nolan told The Wicklow People:
"It’s totally wrong to be doing things like that but it’s not the first time. It’s been done before down there.
"I haven’t watched the video. I wouldn’t bother myself with things like that
Strange indeed.
That’s a lie. If you were looking for blood Shanks Whelan would not have been holding you back.

just searched John Keenan as I hadnt a clue who he was. Search came up for this article where he is referenced -
Wexford are not likely to face any action after a video was released after their defeat at the hands of Laois in the All-Ireland qualifiers on Sunday.
The video which was posted on social media on Monday night has now been removed.
The footage focused in on the performance of Wicklow referee, Anthony Nolan, who took charge of the contest.
In the tightly edited package, the camera focused in on the 13 second-half frees that Nolan awarded. The package ended with a clip of him being heckled by supporters as he left the field of play.
While the video doesn’t actually criticize Nolan, who is considered to be one of the best referees in the country, it leaves the viewer with the impression that they were not happy with his performance.
The release of the video is an unprecedented way for a county to get a point across about a referee and won’t go down well with GAA officials, who always encourage the voicing of concerns through official channels.
Two years ago Wicklow referee John Keenan also came under heavy fire from Wexford following a defeat at U-21 level to Kilkenny.
A Wicklow spectator who was at the game told Wicklownews.net ” I thought Anthony had a great game as it was a full blooded championship match the kind you would expect from an All-Ireland, I have looked at the video and it is very easy to make a decision when it has been slowed down, the ref has only real time, that said he did nothing wrong anyway.”
now I dont believe the above for a few reasons. Firstly, I doubt any of the couple of hundred people at the game would care about an U21 game from 2 years prior that Wexford lost to Kilkenny.
secondly, they were hammered in that game they lost 2 years ago to Kilkenny, and had nothing to do with the ref.
thirdly, he didnt ref the fucking game! Some lad from Carlow did. John Keenan reffed a game in 2011 in U21 that we beat Kilkenny in! So why the fuck would some random football fan go after the ref on Sunday and reference a ref who a) didnt ref a game, or b) did ref a game they won and there was no issues with it!
I love the way he says - its not the first time, they’ve done that down there before, yet in the other article its unprecedented (which is was, and utterly fucking stupid too.)
And a Wicklow supporter at the game? me fucking hole there was. sure we could barely get 500 from Wexford to go. Some job for the paper to find a supporter from Wickow who went to it.
and apparently Anthony Nolan is one of the top refs in the country? I hadnt heard of him before. And a quick search on him on google has at least 3 other games where he is being slated by media in the game report.
as bad and all as Wexford or Flynn was with their shit, he should just shut the fuck up and move on without making up stories and keeping it going.
he has mellowed, or maybe he was clinging on to me in order to get out of his seat at better pace.

faackin hell…
I think there’s uniform agreement that putting up a video of the frees awarded against us on the official Wexford GAA facebook page was silly and naive at best.
I’d say you are intolerable to sit beside at a match. Unmanageable even.
Completely.
But why does Nolan mention that it’s not the first time it’s happened.
You’d almost think he had it in for us.
I have often been told how to conduct myself at a game, obviously i completely ignore this.
