Yeah agree Doc...Mick put a lot more than his cash into Wexford Youths...

And a thorn in the side of the treasonous coonts ruining Ireland  .

This could be a start fo great season for Wexford!

Changes in the formation leads to 3-3 draw against the Bohemians!

Yes it is! But I think Wexford can still show the sign of improvement in the long way run

All gone to New Zealand I thought? Really tough on Youths. It would have been a 50/50 game in the Play Off but you would think any of the 3 sides that could end up playing them will beat them.

 

 

I recall Rovers making the GAA pay for a helicopter for Jayo Sherlock to make a Rovers game as he wanted to play a club match that morning. That is a 'compromise'.

This is a disgraceful decision by him and may come back to bite him in the future people can make excuses for him re the GAA but right is right and wrong is wrong.

Exactly, Chin up lads.

Edit

Great win for the Drogs and good to see hometown players like Brennan and Thornton score two of the goals. But where now for Wexford? I think it`ll be a long way back, with Keegan gone to Galway and their better players like Paul Murphy likely to be snapped up by PD sides. Cobh will come back stronger next season and UCD, as usual, will be there or thereabouts.

Explain how it is deserved gents ? 

The manager (who has himself shown his long term commitment to Wexford Youths.......) rang the player and asked him to play for a few weeks. Chin decided to make himself available, but only on his own terms. The manager went along with that. He could have told Chin to get lost, he wasn't having a bar of it, he wanted someone with more commitment,  but he didn't do any of that, he accepted the terms Chin asked for. It worked OK last week & Chin scored a vital goal for them. 

It would be very different had Chin played for the season & abandoned them, but he was clear from day 1 that hurling was his priority. The decision he made to go to a hurling awards ceremony was his alone to make under the terms he signed up for. I'm not sure who can or should be criticising him, if he had intentions of going back to play with them next season or something, fair enough, but he doesn't. 

Here is his own explanation of it, for what it is worth;

Never mind the fact Galway would have a bigger budget than Wexford Youths or the fact Shane Keegan worked wonders to get Wexford promoted last season in the first place.....

Sounds to me like people are just using it as another excuse for some GAA-bashing. Calling it "bog hockey", "dinner dance" etc is just petty. 

He really isn't though, his technique is border line awful and this is coming from lads who've been down to watch Wexford a lot recently (great goal for Drogheda to his credit) said all he has is fitness and strength, but all around a very poor footballer. 

The GAA banned people playing soccer up until what 20/30 years ago! 

But more so the latter than the former RTID, even yerself as a staunch Thomas Davis card carrying club member of many years has to admit that. It was well within their perogative to tell him to fcuk off for himself under the circumstances, the fact is, they didn't. Nothing much to be gained for Wexford by whinging about it at this stage. 

Your sources are correct about some local Wexford GAA elements not wanting him to go next or near Ferrycarraig under any circumstances, but all that really says about them is they are a reverse mirror image of your own disdain for GAA sports (and joking aside, I accept you have valid reasons for that disdain), whether you, me, or any Wexford youths fan thinks otherwise, the fact is Chin is more concerned about how he gets on under the new Wex hurling manager than Shane Keegan's replacement.

No loss so I suppose, why the f**k does anyone care about him?

Is this just about getting one back on the GAA so?

Yeah, that is it. It is Youths who should be embarrassed here, I know they were amateur but this was very small time. Chin himself has done nothing wrong, by all accounts, including his own, he isn't a great footballer anyway so should they have put themselves in a situation where they are relying on a hurler?

 

Danny Furlong is off to New Zealand aswell.

 

Chin up Youths

Lee Chin grew up in the hurling environment of Wexford. It`s the county game, to put it in context. Is there not a racist undertone to all of this? If for instance the guy was Seamus Og Murphy from New Ross, who chose to attend the biggest event on the GAA calendar as a nominee, (instead of sitting on the bench of Wexford Youths for a 2nd leg play-off), would we even be discussing this?  

Sweet f**king Jesus.

As for you "RTID", has Chin committed a crime for preferring to hurl over playing soccer? We saw this before with Jayo Sherlock, who professed a greater interest in playing gaelic football than playing LOI for Rovers and was called a "slant-eyed fcuker" for his troubles.

There`s loads of garbage on social media blaming Chin, as though he was singularly responsible for Wexford`s defeat. The guy was on the bench in the first leg ffs and it just so happens he scored the 2nd goal. But the fact he was attending a gala event for another sport, on the night the Drogs deservedly beat Wexford, seems to send narrow minds like you into paroxysms of sneering comment.      

That would be emoticons,as for the king of cliches giving out about my usage of one. You do realise that your own post was without substance, short and vacuous

The only reason I ever use emoticons or cliches is when there is simply no other response and a response is necessary, that is either because the post is accurate, funny or, as is regularly the case with your semi-literate ramblings, so stupid as to defy all logic, which was very much the case here. There is nothing to debate with you Xpro,ever. For a debate to occur you would need to make a semi-coherent point, you may have made one at some stage but as you know I find your posting style to be trite, cliched, repetitive, unimaginative and just plain boring. Your input on this matter was unavoidable and ,even by your standards , incredibly foolish. You may as well have told us that you like corned beef or the work of Su Pollard.

 

Your recalling of Jayo's time at UCD and Rovers is plain wrong. There was no acrimony when he 'retired' from his very successful spell, he simply couldn't cope with playing for three teams.

 

His 'crime' is preferring to go to a dinner dance than finish out the season. If there was a game on there would be no issue, or at least less, as there would be a valid choice. Personally I blame Youths for even considering this nonsense, and on a week of great publicity for the game another amateur hour story emerges.

This whole Chin nonsense "RTID" has been blown out of proportion and imo he`s been scapegoated for Wexford`s relegation. In my post I merely asked if there was a racist undercurrent there, because the guy was being blamed out of all proportion to his input to Wexford Youths. Cue hysterics from the usual suspects, including yourself. 

Wexford conceded 70 goals last season. They leaked reports of Keegan`s departure to Galway ahead of that crucial 2nd leg in Drogheda. Lee Chin was a bit-part player and not essential to the side like Danny Furlong, Graham Doyle or Paul Murphy. And yet all the focus was on Chin in the aftermath of losing.

You`re then left wondering, as I was, why all the focus was on Chin. The 70 goals conceded and the lack of goals upfront, along with the leak about Keegan`s departure, were far more significant. So that`s when I began to wonder about (whisper it) racist undertones and some of the comments on social media confirmed this for me. As for LC whose first love is hurling, being nominated for an All-Star is a major deal and not understood by your average LOI fan. 

  

You clearly don't read the forum then, although, given your semi-literate responses, I would be surprised if you read anything at all, perhaps those colourful newspapers that like cliches almost as much as you. By the way, you cannot write could've, even if that is the way you say it. You also completely ignored the main fact of the post, that what you said was insanely stupid from you. Instead you dove straight in again and there is nothing I can say to that, other than it is hardly surprising that your first thought was Chin's ethnicity.

It is still deemed incorrect to write the contracted form of 'could have'. If you don't like the rules of English then go and write in another language.

Written language is always a more formal representation of the spoken word, for grammatical clarity. 'Could've' is terrible spoken and appalling when written. Of course written language changes due to conversation and slang but at a much slower pace. Language is in a terrible place as a result of people hastening it and misusing it, we are aware it will change but we do not need to expedite it, especially with cheap Americanisms.

Bollocks to you too 

anyway where were we ? oh yeah, as much as we all find it strange that any  LOI club would look for a dig out, i suppose a desperate situation required a desperate solution...Youths had already lost half a team to NZ and possibly had others injured...2 matches to survive !!!!

But with Limerick and Drogheda Utd replacing Longford and Wexford in the season ahead, is this not the strongest 12-team league we`ve had in years? Limerick have broken all records in being promoted from Div 1 and the Drogs under Pete Mahon/John Gill, (is Mark Kinsella still involved?), certainly won`t be making up the numbers. I could be wrong but I can see the 2017 season being very competitive.     

 

Just because you don't pay players does not mean you don't run yourself properly. Allowing a limited player to dictate terms at a critical time is a recipe for disaster, and disaster is what happened.

 

There is no way you would be accepting of this if it happened at Dundalk.
