WE CAN’T REMEMBER the last time we’ve seen something as mad as this.
Bayer Leverkusen are away to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga tonight and, having taken the lead through Sidney Sam on 26 minutes, won a corner midway through the second half.
German international Stefan Kiessling gets to the front post and makes decent contact with a header. It’s not quite accurate enough though and goes just outside the post.

All pretty normal so far…
Upon hitting the sidenetting, however, the ball somehow makes its way through a small hole and ends up in the back of the net. The oblivious referee awards the goal and Kiessling celebrates rather sheepishly.
Hoffenheim then missed a penalty before pulling one back with two minutes to play but that ghost goal has turned out to be the winner.
Hard luck Wexford …we gifted them 2 goals,too many soft frees and could have had 3 goals with some luck and need to convert our frees
But we are definitely goin in the right direction
Home advantage seems to be huge during the league. It will be interesting to see will this transfer into the new championship format. If so neutral venues maybe needed.
Wexford paid Tipp too much respect and didn’t commit enough to attack once Tipp figured out where the spare man was Paudie Maher and Heffernan started to Lord it at half back.If Wexford are too push on they need to commit more to attack at one stage I only saw two Wex players inside the Tipp 65. This “Waterford tatic” can only get you so far. I think Wex have better forwards than Waterford so they could be better here. As for Tipp typically excellent for periods but fell asleep for the last 15. Some of the ball winning in the half forward is still a big of a concern plus the goalie (even though he made two great saves)doesn’t instill confidence.The first touch of Tipp and the natural hurling is the best in the country but work rate hooks and blocks is where All Ireland’s are won.
@Colly08: jesus lad give the goalies a break their both new and it takes time to build confidence at this level . Also being chopped and changed the whole time doesnt allow you to build this confidence. I thought they both played very well so far
@Colly08: While Tipp’s defence was opened up by Wexford several times in that 2nd half, it reflected poorly that Wexford didn’t have the patience to chip away with points rather than desperately going for goals when they had plenty of time. But they’re going in the right direction for sure.
Equally, Michael Ryan will be quietly pleased overall with that game in that he’s testing out new players and moving established players into new positions, building a stronger squad depth and new positional strength, which will be desperately needed for the new format Championship.
Great game of hurling, Lee Chin and Bonner Maher were brilliant throughout, thought Lar Corbett was very poor for Tip when he came on. Jason Forde was deadly from placed balls.
Nobody going to mention how despite Chin playing so well overall, he let us down badly from frees….again? By my count, he missed six. Even converting half of those would have meant the aides were level in injury time.

Some score line from both teams .. Makes trying to watch football even harder
Hard luck Wexford …we gifted them 2 goals,too many soft frees and could have had 3 goals with some luck and need to convert our frees
But we are definitely goin in the right direction
Credit to all ladsfor supreme effort…up wexford
@David Kinsella: dream on David
@David Kinsella: dream on

@Colly08: Good summation in fairness
@Colly08: jesus lad give the goalies a break their both new and it takes time to build confidence at this level . Also being chopped and changed the whole time doesnt allow you to build this confidence. I thought they both played very well so far
@Colly08: While Tipp’s defence was opened up by Wexford several times in that 2nd half, it reflected poorly that Wexford didn’t have the patience to chip away with points rather than desperately going for goals when they had plenty of time. But they’re going in the right direction for sure.

@Michael McGrath: Very Poor down in Cork last year against Clare in the 1/4 final as well. I hope he improves given an extended run in the team.
Great game of hurling, Lee Chin and Bonner Maher were brilliant throughout, thought Lar Corbett was very poor for Tip when he came on. Jason Forde was deadly from placed balls.
@Flembomb: Lar Corbett? What year are you living in??
@Flembomb: Nicky English was poor enough when he came on aswell think the age is catching up to him
@800yearsofoppresion: taught the same myself. Philly Maher was ok when he came on for Barry full back!
@Flembomb: Flem caught talking yet more sh*te
@Tomás Tiernan: Babs played well though.
@Johnny B: Nicky Rackard had an absolute mare tho
@Flembomb: haha
Nobody going to mention how despite Chin playing so well overall, he let us down badly from frees….again? By my count, he missed six. Even converting half of those would have meant the aides were level in injury time.
@Jumperoo: very true. Taught ye were trying for a goal too much when a point would of been easier and keep the score board ticking over!
Dreams come true when you work hard and believe…up wexford
@David Kinsella: it’s only the league kid relax.
“We put the pressure on Tipp”
Dream on David
Thanks Journal,owe you one
