Heās bravest call was when Aidan McCarthy deliberately pulled down some tipp lad to prevent him getting into a goal scoring position.
Chuck OāBrien, James Quirke and Paul Morris officially confirmed as Dereks coaches/selectors.
I can see Derek making a decent fist of Wexford and getting the support cc @Bandage back on board.
My octogenarian Wexford mother is a big fan of Derek and has announced that she will be taking a much keener interest in the Wexford hurlers in 2027 than she has at any stage throughout this dismal 20ās decade of under performance.

I could foresee Derek going around the world to Australia/South America talking fellas around to coming home and committing to the cause of Wexford Hurling.
Heās someone youād go to war for.

Iām keeping my options open for now. But if Derek mentions āpastoral careā, āgenuinenessā, ābrotherhoodā, āloveā or Sun Tzu more than once in interviews before year-end then Iāll probably hop back on the bandwagon.

When is that āGamechangersā lunch on?
Iād say heāll convert you at that if you turn up.
I can see Derek really āgettingā Wexford.

Will he be able to talk the Foley brothers from Crossabeg-Ballymurn back into hurling inter-county? Iād have thought it might be 2028 before Rory and possibly Barry Oā Connor come back but maybe Derek can sway them. Lads like AJ Redmond and Joe Barrett whoāve never hurled county but have the ability to. Jack Cullen was another classic of the genre. Eoin Ryan and Charlie McGuckin are back anyway. Conor McDonald and Cathal Dunbar may perhaps be finished either way. Mac will be 32 next year.
Derek was a guest speakers on the novena circuit at some novena in Carlow that my mother was doing. She was highly impressed with him. They had various speakers over the 8 or 10 weeks (or however long a novena is) from all walks of life. She said Derek was the most impressive of the lot. Derek is a deeply spiritual man.
U photoshopped that u cunt.
I doubt the Foleys would be interested in coming back in with the county at this stage. Iād love to see AJ Redmond and Joe Barrett give it a go, both are good enough.
The talk on Rory O is that heās doing 2 years in Australia and wont be back. Unless Derek can persuade him??
Barry is back so perhaps he might give it a go if heās sticking around.
He has to make up his mind, this time last year he was worried about us dropping to Joe Mcdonagh.

Larryās an eejit (as much as I love the man). We take a beating in the Walsh Cup heāll be giving out about Derek.
I know a fair few of my Wexford comrades would be very pro hurling here, but Barry OāConnor would be better off in the middle of the field for the footballers.

He is a gigantic pain in the hole, as most Wexford people freely say.

Theyāve announced some business speakers. Yatesy will host it. Enniscorthys Ian Kehoe and Ryan Quigley (I think) along with the lady who runs whatever Celtic Linen is called now. All decent speakers to be fair and good local connections. And then they add that uber cunt Heaslip into the mix.
Are you saying Yates is not a soup taking uber cunt?
