Can I remind you that Galway are without Silke, Hernon, McLaughlin, McDaid, Conroy, Tierney, Walsh, Comer and Patrick Kelly. Sean Kelly only came back last week from a long term injury so is not up to speed yet and Glynn only came on as a sub after a long term injury today.

No matter what way you dress it up Galway were missing a lot more key players than Derry. Best of luck for the rest of the season, I do hope we meet again. ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1631 - 25/02/2024 18:50:44 2528079 Link 0 |
D'Arcy was very good today. I take it all back. Maher part II if he keeps it up. Still looks a bit big maybe. But very good. jam83 (Galway) - Posts: 167 - 25/02/2024 19:06:49 2528085 Link 0 |

They didn't spend anywhere close to the most. When you break it down by team, which includes the senior hurling, u20 and minor teams, and also football underage, they were very average on spend. Stop ranting

D'Arcy was playin very well and was taking off, it's going to be another year off excuses from Joyce and management. We are heading for division 2. Dunmore10 (Galway) - Posts: 136 - 25/02/2024 20:08:27 2528104 Link 0 |
Thought Galway actually battled pretty hard to day against an almost full strength Derry side. Game swung on N Daly's 2 missed goal chances and then immediately Molloy gives the ball away in midfield and we get 2 black cards and a penalty given against us in a few minutes. I think all 3 black cards today including Derry's one were very harsh. Ref was struggling to keep up with the play. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2261 - 25/02/2024 20:24:05 2528109 Link 1 |
I was surprised when Darcy came off as it was his best game I've seen him play for Galway. JahTribe (Galway) - Posts: 155 - 25/02/2024 20:35:47 2528113 Link 0 |
Thought it was a good performance today, they give it everything, John Daly and John Maher were both excellent. Sean Fitz did nothing wrong, McGrath is a top class corner back and Dylan McHugh played very well. Up front we struggled though, not from lack of effort or bravery but by the start of the second half we had Kelly, Sweeney, Heaney and Molloy in our forward all backs and a midfielder in full forward so it was bound to be difficult to get scores. sean55 (Galway) - Posts: 83 - 25/02/2024 20:51:47 2528119 Link 0 |
What other position do ye think Sean Kelly could play if not playing at full back? JahTribe (Galway) - Posts: 155 - 25/02/2024 21:05:27 2528122 Link 0 |
With everyone fit my team Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 921 - 25/02/2024 21:11:58 2528124 Link 1 |
I can see him at wing back or midfield. 2. McGrath 3. Fitzgerald 4. Silke 5. McHugh 6. Daly 7. Kelly I think O'Flaherty is going well, I'm a big fan of Hernon who was a revelation last summer and Molloy to be fair to him is improving each day since coming back from injury. We don't have the same options up the other end, probably 10. Heaney 11. Tierney 12. Sweeney 13. Finnerty 14. Comer 15. Walsh smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 429 - 25/02/2024 21:12:22 2528125 Link 0 |
Bizarre as it sounds, I thought there were lots of positives today. We missed 2 goal chances and it concluded with us being reduced to 13 and conceding a penalty. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1878 - 25/02/2024 21:53:40 2528139 Link 0 |
I assumed he was injured. Very bad to take him off if he wasn't injured. Won't help the lads confidence. Niall Daly obviously missed that goal chance but he scored a point and bloody tried a few shots at least. But he'll probably not even get a minute of action next weekend.

What are you basing that on? https://www.the42.ie/galway-gaa-spend-on-county-teams-6240754-Dec2023/ First county to pass 2 million and up another 500k would signify that you're talking out of your hat saying it's average. And obviously it's all teams but that's still 100k for the senior teams which was the point I made. Gilberto_Eire (Galway) - Posts: 76 - 25/02/2024 23:27:54 2528154 Link 0 |
Anyone else get a parking fine today? I got a very harsh one for barely being on a footpath. You could push a hospital bed along the amount of footpath I was supposed to be blocking. They papered every car on the same road too with fines. jam83 (Galway) - Posts: 167 - 25/02/2024 23:44:12 2528158 Link 0 |
It's criminal the amount of clear cut goal chanches were missing by kicking from just a few yards out into the goalies outstretched hands.When you can see the colour of the goalkeeper's eyes then you should be putting those chanches away much like the U/12s I'm sure. We still have a few passengers in the forwards but McGrath and Maher werw brilliant on Sunday FieldsMaster (Galway) - Posts: 17 - 26/02/2024 08:25:15 2528190 Link 0 |
Molloy is in a very bad run of form. His position now must be under major threat. MapleSyrup (Galway) - Posts: 165 - 26/02/2024 09:03:16 2528198 Link 0 |
Despite the defeat, I thought Galway played well in patches and never gave up. Very unlucky at times and some bad wides hurt us. Ref made some dodgy calls and gave glass a few handy frees. Derry were the better team no doubt though. jobseekersbent (Galway) - Posts: 382 - 26/02/2024 09:30:55 2528203 Link 0 |
Assuming everyone is still injured but hoping we have Conroy back, here's a team I'd like to see start next week. jobseekersbent (Galway) - Posts: 382 - 26/02/2024 09:35:14 2528206 Link 0 |
