I work with a Wexford lad and he is allways saying how his mates in Wexford go to the Wexford Youths vs Limerick 37 match just to give the knackers from Limerick a good kicking, his words not mine.Is there a rivalry between the two counties or just the clubs.
It may be related to some alleged graffiti in the toilets when Wexford played down in Limerick. Oh and the fact that Lim til I die never has anything nice to say about us :pQuote:

If by a good kicking you mean giving a slack jaw stare while we cover half their ground with flags then yes they do. :) other then that id suggest the 14 year old bebo type's should go away and amuse themselves with some form of sharp object.
If yer man is talking about actual violence and not just a bit of verbal banter then I'd say he's more than likely a liar or an exaggerator of extreme proportions. It would be a terrible pity if the little scum bags of Wexford started attaching themselves to the club and trying to cause trouble.
Especially with the lovely Limerick people, who will be finishing below us in the league this year (I honestly think we'll finish fifth or sixth with a very similar points total to ye).
Ya i agree, with the lack of aggro that is.:)
Rivalry with Who??
LMFAO.Quote:

We better watch ourselves next time :eek: :DQuote:

He'd be a liar either way tbh.Quote:

And I though you guys were just misunderstood...Quote:

I hear they're deadly alright, I obviously wouldn't know, given that I live in post-potatoe blight IrelandQuote:

Basically, last season had very little preparation, and a team pulled from junior clubs.Quote:

Add to that the possibility of Willie Doyle and Paul Murphy in the squad next season, Doyle a proven goal scorer at this level and Murphy a player with cross channel and Eircom Premier experience (limited as it is), and I see reason for optimism.
The squad will be a lot more settled than the vast majority of other, so getting to know each others shouldn't be an issue. Looking at the results from last season most of the games we lost were by a single goal, it wouldn't take a massive leap to start taking more points from these games.
Maybe it's just blind optimism, but I really don't see much to be scared of in the division. I don't think it's dreaming to think we could finish ahead of Kilkenny, Kildare, Monaghan, Athlone, Limerick and possibly Longford if they don't start signing players.
I think whoever finishes bottom this season will be relegated, because by the sounds of things Sporting Fingal are putting together a very strong side. I don't think it'll be Wexford Youths at the bottom.
Experience can only count for so much though.Quote:

Even with our problems we still have far more quality at the club than you lot.
LoEven the most revisionist Wexford fan would surely admit this is because you played most of your games with 14 men behind the ballQuote:

Don't be too suprised if Sporting Fingal take their place before the seasonQuote:

I'd have my doubts.Quote:
Kildare
Have some fairly strong players.
Not a hope in hellQuote:
Monaghan
Pure speculationQuote:

You're most likely right, but I really think you'll see a big improvement from us this year.
Wallace was never going to send out a young, inexperienced side to play swashbuckling, attacking football and get beat 5-0 every week.
The football will still be fairly conservative as long as Wallace is in charge, that's his style, don't conceded too many and take your chances at the other end. I think experience can't be underestimated for defenders and we'll concede less and score more this year.
D'oh :DQuote:
