Wexford GAA 2019

I swallowed my pride and read an article last night on sportsjoe.ie about it where they had a few comments from Kevin Devine the manager. Tullamore took off a few players alright but nothing like Duignan describes.

Wouldnt be like Duignan to take offence to any negative talk about his beloved Offaly. Sure didnt he rightly have a cut off Donal Og who said Offaly hurling was gone to shit and look at them now!

How many subs are you allowed to use at that level?

Fitzy · May 21, 2019, 10:32am

Disgusting stuff from Tullamore, underhand, replacing the team at half time. Cheating essentially. A lengthy ban is appropriate.

I have no love for Davy or his “style” but Bolger sounds like a fucking eejit.

The Tullamore lads are taking this hard:

Coláiste Choilm statement: REPOST

First Year Football

We at Coláiste Choilm would like to clarify a few points made in relation to the reporting of the 1st Year football game between Coláiste Choilm and CBS Enniscorthy on various social media sites yesterday evening.

1: This competition, The Leinster School First Year Football Championship, was set up this year to give students in First Year an opportunity to play football and develop themselves as players. To this end, the Offaly Games Development Officer took the extended members of both panels to play another game during the first half.

2: The halftime score line of 5-11 to 0-0 does not tell the entire story. Of the 11 points scored, 5 of them were great goal opportunities. Our players were encouraged to take their points in the interest of good sportsmanship.

3: Between the 20th and 35th minute we substituted 13 of our starting 15 players off and not one or two as was reported on social media.

4: We contemplated bringing back on our starting team when the game was going against us but what message would that send to those players we had brought on. At the end of the day we are trying to encourage all our players. It should also be noted that these players are only 13 – 14 years of age, players whom we are very proud of and have represented their school with great distinction over the course of this year.

5: In general, we feel that the reporting of this game has not been very objective by some outlets. We have seen various reports containing quotes from the Enniscorthy team management but no media outlet contacted our school to provide some balance to the reporting.

6: Finally, we would like to wish Enniscorthy the very best of luck in the final.

Edit:

Thank you to the Irish Mirror reporter who was the first reporter to contact the school to provide some objectivity just as this message was posted.

We also would appeal to all to remain respectful in the comments and not name any individuals.

Thank you.

Fuck sake. Teachers with too much time on their hands.

Taking their points in the spirit of fair play

Esso_Oil · May 21, 2019, 10:58pm

They are basically calling the Enniscorty lads a shower of cunts for going for goals in the second half.
They may be right they usually are.

count_of_monte_crist · May 22, 2019, 9:05am

no i wont believe this… where’s the source?

artfoley · May 22, 2019, 9:10am

The schools Facebook page

count_of_monte_crist · May 22, 2019, 9:17am

that is hilarious…

count_of_monte_crist · May 22, 2019, 9:19am

a few gems here…

artfoley · May 22, 2019, 10:04am

It wouldn’t look out of place in the coro sicko/weirdo thread

Andrew Corden Cup U20FL HT
Laois: 6-5 (23)
Wexford: 0-5 (5)

Andrew Corden Cup U20FL FT
Laois: 7-15 (36)
Wexford: 1-11 (14)

Shame on Laois for not taking off 13 of their players at HT to give Wexford a chance. They just took off the 10.

padjo · May 24, 2019, 10:53am

Jesus, that’s embarrassing stuff from Tullamore, Enniscorthy went on and won the Leinster final yesterday

myboyblue · May 24, 2019, 12:48pm

padjo · May 24, 2019, 10:17pm

Is that a particularly good Laois team @myboyblue? heard they gave trimmings to Cavan and Offaly in recent games too

myboyblue · May 24, 2019, 10:24pm

They wouldn’t have been regarded too highly tbh, and missing 2 or 3 with the senior side
