Coming towards the end of the year and looking towards 2024. Time to start thinking of a wish list for 2024. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 923 - 12/12/2023 13:20:37 2516493 Link 1 |
He surely needs to be in goal for his club if he's playing there for Galway.

Niall Morgan doesn't play in goals for Edendork, Stephen Cluxton doesn't play in goals for Parnells, Damien McCusker from the Derry winning team in 1993 didn't play in goals for Glen. If Conor is the best keeper at training he needs to be considered.

Sorry Rory Beggan does play in goals for club,it just seems like he doesn't cos he spends a huge amount of time up the field.

Great Post. I'd get rid of the FBD and maybe look at the 3rd level calendar as well. I just think the training at the moment and games for a guy who is around 19, in College and from a good senior club is unsustainable never mind the travel involved. There are guys involved in professional set ups(Connacht/AFL) not even doing as much. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 429 - 12/12/2023 15:05:27 2516512 Link 2 |
Unfortunately no hope of Galway changing back to even ages at under age majority of counties have changed think 21 so far I'd say if every county did Galway still would not pure madness,, I seen something where they are now trying blame croke park for forcing them to buy mountain south for 3 million and then forced them to sell it at massive loss that tells u Whete Galway county board are at not taking responsibility for a daft decision Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 921 - 12/12/2023 17:23:58 2516528 Link 0 |
That's a bit of a misrepresentation. The current board had nothing to do with the purchase of Mountain South but have had to deal with the financial implications. The decision was made by a previous administration. As a county we're paying over €300K a year to service the debt, so saying they haven't taken responsibility isn't true at all. What the current Treasurer said is that Croke Park were involved to some degree in the original decision to purchase the land, but have left Galway to take the full hit. They also forced Galway to sell it at a time when it was at its lowest value. Whether that was the correct decision is debatable. His point is that Croke Park should take some responsibility for their part in the mess. In fairness to the current board, they've turned around the finances massively for Galway GAA. It's night and day compared to what was going on before. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2142 - 12/12/2023 22:37:02 2516557 Link 2 |
Anyone who believes that the game is not in crisis is delusional. Stripsandbanners (Galway) - Posts: 81 - 13/12/2023 20:14:11 2516663 Link 0 |
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have offered my opinion ( which is shared by many as well as opposed by many) without ridiculing people who have the alternative view. Taking your comment re "delusional " and "crisis" Delusional - characterized by or holding false beliefs or judgements about external reality that are held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, typically as a symptom of a mental condition. Crisis - a time of intense difficulty or danger. So plugging these into your statement you are stating that there is incontrovertible evidence that the game is in intense difficulty or danger. Can you provide some examples of this incontrovertible evidence. As an aid you might want to double check what the meaning of incontrovertible ----not able to be denied or disputed. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 923 - 14/12/2023 16:24:24 2516797 Link 0 |

Your response just add credence to my use of "delusional" in addition to: talk away the problem and ostrich Stripsandbanners (Galway) - Posts: 81 - 14/12/2023 19:21:59 2516829 Link 0 |
Allias the vast majority of level headed thinking people would agree that football as a spectacle is indeed in crisis. northbouind (Galway) - Posts: 304 - 14/12/2023 20:06:01 2516833 Link 1 |
Again I ask for evidence? Where is it? Big game attendances , huge TV and steaming viewership . In general higher scoring games than ever before . These are incontrovertible stats. For sure there are other stats that are concerning i.e. ratio of footpasses to handpasses is low, number of contested kickouts is low . These are incontrovertible stats to support the other argument .. But there is no clear cut incontrovertible case in either direction. You must be talking to different people to me because I dont know where the "vast majority" is. Also I have noticed that many of the people who I talk with that agree with me are in the upper quartile on the IQ spectrum and the ones with alternative views tend to be further down the scale. Now I'm not quoting that as fact , its just my own personal observation. And please ( and this is just a request), dont quote Colm O Rourke , Pat Spillane or Joe Brolly to support your argument because ( again only my opinion) using their names only weakens the argument. One last point , when have we ever had 2 players in the game of the calibre of DC and SW who are just a pleasure to watch... You can quote any of the names in the past that you wish ( and indeed there have been some good ones) but these 2 are the best I've ever seen. Apart from these , I am a long long time watching football, and I have never enjoyed it as much as I do now - last weekends games were a particular example. I really really hope that the GAA does not apply a knee jerk reaction in terms of complex rule changes. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 923 - 15/12/2023 10:00:55 2516882 Link 2 |
I for one definitely agree with u if they stop messing with rules it would help get rid of inside mark it's rubbish rewarding a player for catching a 20 yard pass inside the 45 deftness, ,, the season needs to be extended for championship for min 3 more weeks and in reality the league should not start mid feb ,, by st Patrick weekend majority of counties will have most of there matches played makes no sense at all
