Replying To The_DOC: "This is so true, I've said it on here previously. This year anytime Galway have had a win the narrative in the media afterwards has always been on the 'under performance' of the opposition - its the reserve narrative of what's going on with the Galway hurlers (i.e. always given credit for not let the other team dictate the play and playing their own game)
NFL:
- Beat Tyrone: Narrative after on how Tyrone were caught on the hop in the first game of the league
- Beat Donegal: Narrative after on how Donegal are playing 'lovely' football and it will take a while for them to find their way
- Beat Kerry: Narrative afterward on how the Galway system wont work come summer ball and championship
- Beat Mayo: (See above 'Beat Kerry')
- Draw with Dublin: Narrative after on how Dublin missing half the team (even though Galway rested at least 5 starting players)
Championship:
- Beat Mayo: Mayo played badly, likely to beat Galway if and when they meet in the Super 8's
- Beat Roscommon: Roscommon very poor in the 2nd half, Galway will struggle playing their system in Croke Park
- Beat Kerry: Narrative after on how poor Kerry were and lots of youth in the team (zero mentioned about Galway having very young players togged as well i.e. Sean Andy, Kelly, Cooke and Daly)
At what point will some genuine analysis be done and see that Galway are not allowing these teams play and Galway wins are not down to the random underperformance of 90% of the teams they have played in 2018." Excellent post Doc..

Let them keep putting is down. We'll be there or there abouts this year and are probably one of the few teams capable of putting it up to the Dubs (although I think we would have to catch them on an off day).
Let them keep talking rubbish!

Replying To hailrainorsnow: "True Doc" Hurlers getting 'a bad press' too. Poor Galway!!
Brendan Cummins thinks our hurling squad is 'windy'. Does anyone know what this word means, when used in this 'sporting' context. Does it mean cowardly, or changeable, or 'inconsistent (smiley face)' I wonder? Does it mean 'lacking in belief' perhaps! Coming from Cummins, it hardly means 'bark is worse than bite' anyway, or you'd be into all sorts of pot kettle cliches.

Mayo haters hoping for Kildare win after their capitulation but I think Galway can carve out a narrow win.

They were right by the way, ye haven't won Sam!

Probably harmless stuff to most Galwegians but i sensed a few took umbrage as it did feel like a case of 'being kicked when down'. Personally my take is on this if you cannot be magnanimous in victory you need to look in the mirror.

All messing aside, the Mayo lads around us were pure sound - didn't rub it in at all, in many ways that was much MUCH worse because they felt so sorry for us that day they wouldn't even slag us off!
When I think back on it now, was it naivety, youth - such a hammering, but I'll tell you what....its been a steady upward curve since then.

Mayo still think this Summer is all about them and RTE panelists think Mayo are the best in the west. This is why both parties are not relevant.

Ah yes the Galway fans were so great after we were loosing all those finals...sure even the great Padraig Joyce had to slap yer giddy fans down on social media after mayo lost to Kildare. Anywat best of luck to both teams this weeknd,will be an interesting game.

Not sure about this one, Galway's tails are up and Kildare are in fighting form with home advantage. The tribesmen should be solid enough to come away with the win, but the lilies aren't there to make up the numbers.

Not too concerned with opposing teams as enough on our plate as is. Also a bit of a generalization in your other post that we look down on Mayo in terms of football. I suggest the opposite is the case after the last 7 years. My experience anyhow.

There is a reasonable chance after Sunday all 4 teams could be on 2 points each. I would take a 1 point win from Newbridge if offered it now.

You say you never said a word and I will take your word for it but there were plenty of Mayo lads doing a bit of gloating too.It takes two to tango!
Anyway enjoy your summer off.
