Replying To The_Fridge: "Sorry Tommy Walsh in for second Petey Harte." I'd keep the 2 Petey Hartes. They'd be a nightmare to mark. @The_DOC, tóg go réidh é, maith an fear. Níl ann ach píosa spraoi. From our side, Shane Walsh has had an excellent league. Tom Flynn has had some big performances, and in more recent games Antaine Ó Laoi and Danny Cummins.

Galway have more players missing than anyone else in terms of lads who'll be on the championship panel. In addition to the 5 or 6 Corofin lads who'll be on the panel Conroy, Comer & Varley haven't been seen during the league. Kyne got injured in the 1st game, McDaid got injured in the second game & Brannigan has played about 15 minutes of the league. Missing 11 or 12 for the majority of the league. This appears to have been a bit of a blessing as its led to Galway finding a couple of player mainly O'Laoi who was in nobody's thoughts. JDF (Galway) - Posts: 322 - 20/03/2019 16:16:09 2173992 Link

Replying To The_Fridge: "To be fair the way Galway play they are very forgettable ;)" Funny in another post you say you have not seen us up close. Gas how media (correct or otherwise) influences the perspective. In fairness anyone who saw our 1st half performance in Castlebar or how we played last Sat in Salthill would have a different view or at least they should have. Yes we were very poor 2nd half against Dublin and 1st half against Monaghan. But who has not had poor periods during the league. Most Galway football folk I have spoken to acknowledge we are not always pleasing to the eye but can any county honestly believe they are whiter than white. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 21/03/2019 10:16:22 2174132 Link

An honest question but are all those players genuinely injured OR are some of them making themselves unavailable by choice? I heard the latter some time back and it's a bit of coincidence that the players are now injured. FarneyLenny (Monaghan) - Posts: 110 - 21/03/2019 11:34:14 2174149 Link

Replying To The_Fridge: "I have never in my life heard a county complain about injured/missing players then Galway. Every post starts or ends with "we were missing 14 players etc etc etc." Get over for god sake. My Div 1 team from the games I seen would be: Morgan Higgins Cooper Brian Begley (wont attempt Irish spelling) Ben O'Donnell Tom O'Sullivan Dara Moyihan M.Ruane Sean O'Shea Peter Harte F McDonald Cox Mannion Petey Harte Probably missed a few but its a starting point. Replace at will" no offence but Brian O'Beaglaoich probably wouldn't get on the Kerry team of the league. Grand going forward but no shutting lads down in the corner. macruiskeen (UK) - Posts: 37 - 26/03/2019 08:53:19 2175470 Link
Sorry you cannot have a team of the league without Cillian O'Sullivan and and McGill of Meath. And that's not biased. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 26/03/2019 15:08:52 2175566 Link

Sean Andy has had a very poor league campaign and cooke has been ok in the games but didnt play any part against Tyrone. Fewpucks24 (Galway) - Posts: 124 - 26/03/2019 16:34:51 2175600 Link
I struggled to pick a team of the league TBH. Not that many stands out, A few good games by individuals here and there. for example Aidan O'Shea v Kerry, Costello v Mayo. Sean O'Shea the clear player of league. Player of the league for us was Cox for our neighbours Shane Walsh remains key for Galway and Cummins was good in the last few games and Mayo McDonagh,Ruane impressed. Not the best of league for goalkeepers, most of them need to stay in their goals. No outstanding full backs or CHB on show. Dean Rock,Conor McManus once again proved they are the most important and consistent scorers for their teams. The mark did produce some fine fielding of the ball but probably not as much as expected. Black card needs to be totally scrapped and go back to just yellows and red cards. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3756 - 26/03/2019 17:46:57 2175612 Link

Ian Burke has played well in 3 or 4 championship games, Comer the same (spends half his time at half back starting rows). Some are average county players at best Duane,Silke and Conroy. The others are good club players at best. A players reputation goes up when not playing for Galway because it's so hard to show your skills marking space in your own half. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1109 - 27/03/2019 22:14:48 2175914 Link
Lads are incapable of honesty debate without my county is better than yours starting. Awful childish. The players that stood out to me were A O Se Mayo Matt Ruane Mayo Tom Flynn Galway Shane Walsh Galway C Costello Dublin Mattie Donnelly Tyrone Sean O Se Kerry Tommy Walsh Kerry Obviously biased towards Galway as I have seen all their games and only bits of other teams. Flynn is arguable but he was very consistent, Shane Walsh however is the player of the league (followed closely by s o se). Unreal in every game except against the dubs (we were muck that night). Danny Cummins ended with 4 goals and a few points from 4 games from play so could throw him in. I didn't pay much heed to defenders!!

My team of the league: Hennelly Higgins Sherwood Crowley TO'Sullivan Murphy Durcan O'Shea Ruane Harte O'Shea Walsh Cox McShane SO'Brien 6 Kerry players and only 5 Mayo even though they won it. That is mostly because they rotated so much. Kerry15 (Kerry) - Posts: 958 - 04/04/2019 20:38:50 2177748 Link
