Just wondering lads how hairy micks three year plan is getting on? All I will say is I told yas so. The man wouldnt know a good footballer if he was kicking the sack off him.:bigsmile: He started wexford youths off all wrong and now hes left with a pile of ****e. Wheres the player from every parish of wexford? And miles to go before we sleep:bigsmile:
Well last season didn't go too badly..
You're talking as if we all worship Mick Wallace. Far from it! I agree he's done a lot wrong and still making mistakes imo. Keegan did a good job last year but I would of preferred a Wexford manager to take over, maybe John Godkin. But I haven't a clue whats going on at the club, I just want to watch football!Quote:

Just to point out, Wexford are still in the League, where others have failed and dropped out. Crowds may not be overly impressive, but they're still there nonetheless. It's an enjoyable place to visit, an all round great club, and Wexford are certainly on the right path.Quote:

Snide remarks will do nothing for yourself however.
where are the majority of the players that are currently playin for youths from?
Martinho
The majority of the players are from either Kilkenny or Carlow, I think. It's largely due to Shane Keegan's influence as he was previously the manager of FC Carlow.
Most are from Waterford and Kilkenny with some from Carlow. Gary Delaney, Craig McCabe and Daryl Power are from Wexford. I think I'm forgetting some one tho!
In last weeks 18 man squad there was six each from Kilkenny and Waterford, with three from Wexford, two from Carlow and one from Dublin.
I could be wrong on that.
How many of our former Youths are still willing to commit to the demands of weekly LOI football? Not many.
We had a fantastic year last year. But maybe you just wanted to say "I told you so" and watch us fail.
Furlong was from Wexford too, wasn't he? Yous didn't do too badly out of him.
If your not into football and dont go watch them I dont know why your even starting a thread about them? I didnt get to many games last season due to work, same this yr as far as i can see but i will be at the South East derby on friday night.
The league of Ireland & Wexford Youths may be miles behind the premiership in razmatazz but as for football the difference is not as big.
Watched youths vs cobh a couple weeks ago very poor youths side .. Heard there isn't many wexford lads in squad I think that's there problem. Why ain't there wexford lads playing for the youths
Not much difference? wake the **** up. My problem is hairy head said wexford youths was a community club that will give the young players of wexford a chance to play at a higher level - eircom league. Instead we have a load of lads from everywhere bar wexford. Now dont give me the ****e the players arent in wexford cos the oscar trainers aint doing too bad. A team like north end filled with ex wexford youths would kick lumps out of the current youths team. and dont give me the ****e that them players are not commited either because they play club and oscar trainer so are committed to football quite a bit. Wallace has done to wexford football what he done in business and in his political career spoofed us a hape of ****e.
Not remotely the same thing.Quote:

I'm sure every club in the country would love to have more locals playing for them but if there isn't a bunch of lads good enough and willing to commit to playing in the 1st division then you can't really bitch about the club looking elsewhere, playing for a club in the 1st division is a whole world apart from playing junior football, Micks no saint, no one is but I don't see why he deserves to be chastised for trying to do something positive for Wexford football. 2 wins in a row now by the way, they can't be totally useless lads they have on the books then.. Anyway, no idea why I'm getting involved but this topic just looks like a pair of sh!tehawks looking to stir trouble for no particularly valid reason.
It's a football club, not the GAA. They can hire whoever the hell they want, because that's what the sport is.
Pair? I presume your lumping my comment in with Wexman's. Just to clarify, yeah I would like more Wexford players at the club and at the time Keegan was hired I would of preferred a Wexford manager. Why? Because I think it would of helped the club get more support both in the local media and among potential fans. But I wouldn't get rid of Keegan now just to have a local manager, he's doing a great job and has turned the club around. He has built a team who play some decent football and are fully committed to the club (I know some turned down offers to stick with us this year). At the end of the day we could have a squad made up of Afghans and Kerry men but I'm still going to support them. I'm just saying it would be nice to have more Wexford playersQuote:
