Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "McGlinchey size and build plus skill set makes him ready to make a quick set up to Senior level. As Maurice Brosnan stated recently McGrath's kick outs are like cream what a luxury to have that. Costello,Thompson are among the best forwards at this grade."
Yes I agree McGlinchey seems to look like a J McLoughlin circa 2020/1 who played on a winning senior team before his 18th birthday,I just hope in his case he gets time to develop before he is pushed into the front line of senior football.

Replying To Marooned:  "The U20's were brilliant last night in fairness. 23 points is some shooting even in good conditions. Mad to think they lost handy enough to Mayo early on and Mayo finished 5th in the end and Galway are now in the final on the back of their best display."
Not too mad really, didn't the exact same thing happen when some of these were minors in 2022. Mayo dominated Galway in a round Robin fixture in Castlebar, and Galway beat Mayo convincingly enough in the allireland final some weeks later.

You can't be going around saying that Father! lol

Luckily the U20's have been good because the minors are getting destroyed by Mayo. Galway 9 points down at half time.

Minors took a serious beating here. A serious bleep in the conveyer belt.

I see Corofin gave a serious hammering to miltown in the league , I'd say Michael Martin might be better off practicing football than slaging Shane Walsh off or maybe he has transferred back to cortoon ,,

This group wouldn't be quite at the levels of more recent minor teams and probably why Savo went straight for the U20 gig. Even still, not a good reflection on management this campaign either. Galway teams should never been getting hammered by Mayo.

Was at minor match and In reality mayo coukd have won by more they in a different level,, I was told that the mayo management had being with that group last 3 years it definitely showed played great foootball ,, Galway need have serious look at the way they do things or these hammering will continue, first need a proper club under 16 competition not a development league which waste time a club undrr 16 player which is ur county minor next year playes maybe 4-5 games max a club under 16 soccer players play between 15-20 matches in both mayo and Roscommon under 16 is there main underage competition and it shows time for the powers in Galway football to wake up or move on or we as a county be left way behind ,, on minor yesterday evening can't understand why they announced a team Thursday and before match made changes not really show much respect for young lads not sure who they were trying to fool but at the end the score board told the story ,, they fooled themselves

Where did he slag Walsh off? Was that the maroon and white podcast you are referring to?
