Wexford GAA 2022

Both unbelievable scores. First one was better I think even though it wasn’t as far out. I could never really understand how he couldn’t command a place on the Wexford team in the early years under Davy. Dont remember him playing against Tipp in 2019 or when they beat Kilkenny in Leinster final.

[Aertel220]

He played the majority of the match against Tipp in 2019 I’m nearly sure. There was some incident down by the Cusack Stand sideline with Cathal Barrett that had the Wexford fans fuming. Correct in general though, he was in and out of the Wexford team under Davy. Often better off the bench with a point to prove.

[Pirlo]

From my POV he was a bit nuts, getting stupid yellow/red cards. He’s starting to mature now. I was never really his biggest fan but yesterday he was decent. Week before he was the worst of the lot.

@Aristotle

Definitely in the covered stand anyway. Although that might be in part because a lot of Limerick fans might have misjudged how long it takes to get to Wexford and arrived with an hour to spare and decided to just head into the ground early.

Fellas were expecting a 4 hour delay in Clonmel with the coursing sure.

@Aertel220

Davy was magnanimous in his praise of Wexford last night on RTÉ. He reckoned they reverted to type.

On another note, Limerick 95 FM or whatever their radio station is called were claiming yesterday that they outnumbered Wexford 3 or 4 to 1 in the crowd size. I’d doubt that was true was it? Seemed a sizeable Wexford contingent there.

No. In fairness to the Wexicans they rose to their feet and gave Limerick a savage welcome onto the field as well as the Limerick fans. That gave a false impression imo.

[Aertel220]

Did you get a nice carvery in the Whitford after Mike?

[iron_mike]

I did. I even posted a picture on the ravenous thread.

[Bandage]

I feel obliged as a local to point out the “the” is superfluous.

We would say:

I had a carvery in Whitford.

But each to their own and I’m not going to fall out with anyone over it.

[carryharry]

Wexford compete physically with Limerick and it’s a poor game & don’t be getting carried away….

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Some spot. Spent a few summer holidays there as a young lad.

[peddlerscross]

How would this Whitford place rank as a carvery compared to the likes of Heuston Station, The Poitin Still, The Greenhills in Limerick, The West County in Ennis etc etc.?

[iron_mike]

Right up there.

[carryharry]

@peddlerscross

The Poitin Still,

Terribly overrated as a carvery, all jokes aside.

[PhattPike]

Precisely.

[Pirlo]

Story abound now that the former may well be out for the league. Ya never know though.

[peddlerscross]

What injury has Chin?

[Pirlo]

Knee injury.

[johnnysachs]

Lee Chin spared some big decisions by long-suffering knee problem

He has had persistent problems with the knee even as far back as 2013. Playing through the pain in hindsight and probably over exerting playing both codes obviously didn’t help his cause. They are obviously trying to mind him and get him ready for championship. He is still a vital player for Wexford when he is on his game.

[Pirlo]

I wouldn’t say both codes, he plays the annual relegation final every year for the Sar’s, that’s about it, stopped with the county footballers 2012. Someone said to me maybe it’s a lot to do with his size? I’m not sure and I’m not qualified to say. Vital player 100%, exactly why he was named captain. Hopefully he’s back for the Galway game in the park.

[Gman]

I don’t think he played any football after u21 at county level. And even at club level it’s been very much playing whenever suits rather than 100% commitment to it. He transferred football clubs about 10 years ago so probably adds to the heart not being fully committed
