What mistake? You could appoint the most experienced option available and not do as well as Joyce has done which was winning 4 Connacht titles and reaching two All-Ireland finals losing by the finest of margins.

About the same experience Joyce had. We can't repeat the same mistake

What Now For Merger Of GAA Camogie And LGFA - 1 Like(s)

Replying To Dothesimplethingswell:  "If the GPA were serious about looking after players they might be better off ensuring that players have a life while playing county football instead of all that gear which is just a distraction who on earth woukd get time to even wear all of that gear..Six pairs of shorts?? Six training tops?? Come on GPA you can do much better."
There's a fine line between having a life and taking the whole thing seriously. I'm sure you'd agree that you wouldn't want to see lads with beer bellies or lads who couldn't run 100 yards playing county football. Nor can you stop lads from doing any amount of extra training if they want. We all seen what happened during Covid... teams trained 'allegedly' in secret despite being told to curtail group sessions. Not sure what the solution is but people might not be half as eager if the back room expenses industry was curtailed.

Predictions for this weekend

Senior
Fenagh v St Mary's
Both teams produced their best performance last weekend. This could go to extra time.
Mary's by 1

Ballinamore v Allen Gaels
Ballinamore are huge favourites with the bookies 1/10. I don't think that's fair. Both teams are missing players, but Ballinamore has the stronger overall squad and should scrap it.
Ballinamore by 4

Intermediate
Aughavas v Melvin Gaels
All the talk, even on the National papers, has been about Melvin Gaels' new manager. I don't know what the reason for the change was. It's a strange one, as Melvin Gaels was doing well.
Aughavas have had a good championship to date and have been lucky with injuries.
The long trip and small pitch will not benefit Melvin Gaels.
Aughavas by 3

Bornacoola v Dromahair
Bornacoola must win and hope Drumkeerin loses to Annaduff. Bornacoola is close to full strength and will be a challenge to the already qualified Dromahair.
Bornacoola by 2

Drumkeerin v Annaduff
Two poor defeats in a row have put Drumkeerin in a precarious situation. They will be hoping that Gortletteragh and Dromahair will do them a favour. Otherwise, they will need to win here.
Annaduff is now strong favourites for the Intermediate Championship and is close to full strength.
They should be too strong.
Annaduff by 6

Carrigallen v Gortletteragh
I fancied Gortletteragh for the Intermediate Championship, but they are besiged with injuries. Gortletteragh's defence, which was superb throughout the league, is now their achiles heel. Carrigallen's weakness is their forwards, which are only averaging 11 points a game. A loss for either team will have them facing into a difficult relegation final.
Gortletteragh by 4

Semi finalists
Annaduff
Aughavas

Quarter finalists
Melvin Gaels
Dromahair
Gortletteragh
Bornacoola

Relegation Final
Drumkeerin
Carrigallen

Well done to fenagh beating marys to book a semi final spot. Looks like their coming in to gear at the right time. Callum Andrews in sticks was great find I wonder if he could play for poacher or if he will go back to the soccer.

By the way 15 euro for the live stream feels like a bit of a rip off, should be a fiver.

As an outsider I always felt that PJ waited around for too long on the fitness of Comer and Walsh. They always seemed to be in and out of the team due to injury and that Galway team never really got momentum because of this. While they are both top class players you needed these lads playing most of the league and all of the championship in order to get momentum and Galway just didnt get that momentum going. Its unfortunate as there was an AI in that team but injury deprived yee of the two best players and both were scoring forwards. Hindsight is a great thing though and I can see why PJ wanted them in the team. Hes a gentleman and in my lifetime he was Galways greatest forward. Galway like Kerry are traditional footballing county and potential is always there. Due to the new rules teams are going to unleash young 18 yr old rookies who just go for it.. It wont suit the narrative or the stats men but it won Mayo an AI that nobody saw coming.
