Replying To Galway456: "Same as myself, ive heard rumblings since last year the dublin docket was only to hit the ground running when back to Galway, he had his 50th in Noel Larkins pub in Eyrecourt last Sunday" i heeard the exact same, that the only reason himself and the backroom team took the job was to stay in the intercounty circuit Kinvara (Galway) - Posts: 169 - 09/08/2024 12:10:08 2564376 Link
Replying To JahTribe: "Really, Davy Fitz, its like the last Clare lad did so well we will go back for a second go. It should always be an appointment from within the county in the hurling." I like Davy Fitz with that fire and passion more so than a statue who stands on the line smiling to himself. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2426 - 09/08/2024 14:32:07 2564407 Link

Passion doesn't mean success alone sure Henry cared and wanted win sometimes you need extra thing and didn't happen with Galway can't blame on Henry Galway have and this issue for years need injection of youth too Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 428 - 09/08/2024 15:59:28 2564438 Link

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Passion doesn't mean success alone sure Henry cared and wanted win sometimes you need extra thing and didn't happen with Galway can't blame on Henry Galway have and this issue for years need injection of youth too" I have nothing but respect for Henry Shefflin and I would shake the man's hand and thank him if I ever had the chance but I agree with Katser in that Davy would bring passion, interest, and experience to the team if he were to get the job. I have nothing against MOD but didn't he just leave us? I hope the best possible person gets the job no matter where they're from. Galway Abu.

Mattie Murphy in with them this year, will push St Thomas and Loughrea all the way this year.

Replying To PaddyBarry: "Castlegar are flying it ! Mattie Murphy in with them this year, will push St Thomas and Loughrea all the way this year.

I hope you're right. I'd like to see them do well. But at his age Ger Farragher surely wont be their main man if they do. About time a few younger ones stepped up to drive on the team.

In fairness it was always going take a few years for the ballygar lads to settle in with cashel I'm sure cashel prob got a few more lads in also in last year or 2 also Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 928 - 11/08/2024 11:26:56 2564582 Link
Replying To Kickitout: "In fairness it was always going take a few years for the ballygar lads to settle in with cashel I'm sure cashel prob got a few more lads in also in last year or 2 also" Conor Whelan is supposedly moving to castlegar every year the same story comes about that whelo is transferring to castlegar, was there any truth in them rumours?

Watching camogie final from afar...Cork have emptied bench and fresh legs have made difference. Galway, like footballers, don't use subs. Why is this? Salthillsham (Galway) - Posts: 43 - 11/08/2024 18:36:55 2564628 Link
Did Cork not throw that ball over the line for goal? Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 336 - 11/08/2024 19:01:07 2564630 Link
Another poor attempt at success.. no score in nearly the last twenty minutes. You'd really love playing Galway or Mayo in some sort of final when those sort of trends come all too often. Our winning ratio in the senior grades is horrible across the 4 sports. 1:4 win ratio in the women's football, mens hurling and camogie. And nearly a 1:3 win ratio in men's football. Serious questions need to be asked about our approach to GAA... From coaching and developing styles and patterns of play to mentality. When all your teams are losing final after final then something is going wrong. Gilberto_Eire (Galway) - Posts: 76 - 11/08/2024 19:03:11 2564633 Link

Galway were rank outsiders in the football and camogie this year, so that was bound to provide no improvement to your 'statwatch'. Give Cork some credit, they had more scoring threat, and a defense designed to avoid goal concessions. Give Galsay credit too for making the final, some players there with 2 all Ireland medals trying to come back for more. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3829 - 11/08/2024 19:20:58 2564637 Link
