Cannot play Armagh in QF. One of Dublin, Donegal or Kerry. Possibly Armagh in a semi final Jack L (None) - Posts: 3148 - 17/06/2024 19:21:34 2552497 Link 0 |
Quarter final not open draw if Galway do win they play , Kerry , Dublin or Donegal,, I definitely not be writing Monaghan off Galway struggle v Sligo same v Westmeath and did not beat 14 man Derry by much and Derry kicked 6 balls in goalie hand firsr half ,even yesterday v Armagh galway were much better team but did not put Armagh away snd it cost them Galway' won't hammer teams 2 many players being played out position as I've said lots times on here Kelly , Mcdaid, Darcy not forwards ,, all good players but not forwards Hernon another player and molloy played in forwards thett not either ,, and the man thar scored 1-03, from 4 chances v Monaghan in league getting no chance management seems they want play midfielder and backs in forwards instead of natural scoring forwards ,, Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 1022 - 17/06/2024 19:24:50 2552498 Link 0 |

Good to see the club championship draw done. Couple of lopsided groups and then one very strong group with Corofin, Tuam and Claregalway in it. At the end of the day I think it is between Corofin, Mountbellew, Moycullen, Claregalway and maybe Salthill to win it out although I'd say Salthill can probably be ruled out given Rob Finnerty will probably be having surgery on his knee once Galway's year is over. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 830 - 17/06/2024 23:13:51 2552545 Link 0 |
Not sure I agree with the draw done before the league is complete. Tuam and Claregalway meet in a league semi final this weekeend and are also in the same Championship group, could potentially ruin their team line-up or the way they play to cause mind games between each other and not make the league campaign as competitive. Maybe I'm wrong, personal opinion! LetsPlayBall (Galway) - Posts: 64 - 18/06/2024 08:38:45 2552577 Link 0 |
According to Tommy Rooney from the football pod Comer is unlikely to play this year. centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 142 - 18/06/2024 08:41:04 2552579 Link 0 |
Monaghan have won the last few clutch games against Galway in recent times, a famous double scores win in 2018 saw monaghan advance to an all Ireland semi final (Galway were already through) 222 (UK) - Posts: 829 - 18/06/2024 08:43:13 2552582 Link 0 |
Is the same Tommy Rooney doubling up as Galway physio or team doctor? We've heard all kinds of stories about different players' injuries over the years from various sources, only for them to he proved completely wrong. Leave the speculation until we actually know. For now the lads have to beat Monaghan on Saturday. We'll see what comes after that. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2255 - 18/06/2024 09:18:48 2552593 Link 0 |
A few moves like this on Sat. should unsettle the Carney. Uncork the champagne.. https://x.com/TomasORuanaidh/status/1537217401032671232 AnCrúiscínLán (Galway) - Posts: 102 - 18/06/2024 09:27:12 2552595 Link 0 |
Can we just go out and beat the you know what out of someone? Of course Monaghan could trip anyone up but it just shouldn't happen, they've only won one game in 5 months. When are we in Galway going to break through our glass ceiling, totally outperform as a unit, and blow the opposition off the field? We're too deferential - always thinking we might, just might, be better than another team by a point or two. Kerry and Dublin don't think that way, it's not the mindset. As a Kerry man that knows what he's talking about said to me, if it was Kerry going into that draw, rightly or wrongly, they'd be of the mindset that they'd not only beat the pick of the three counties we could have got, but they'd beat them off the field. It doesn't always prove true but it's the mindset. We've set our ceiling too low in these encounters. Time to put a marker down with a monster performance. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1026 - 18/06/2024 10:14:06 2552614 Link 1 |
Is finnerty injured he seemed to be carrying a knee injury on Sunday, in fairness he played ok but with games coming thick and fast he must be a serious doubt to keep playing if Galway progress.. hugely important player to yous especially with comer out rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2589 - 18/06/2024 10:35:46 2552626 Link 1 |

Comer wasn't doing any running on the pitch beforehand though I thought. If he was even close he'd have been doing that at least.

This is a 'Monaghan' team in name only lads. It's a world apart from the hardy side that on their best days could really trouble the bigger counties. In an way, the more recognisable names on the team sheet- Hughes, O'Connell, Wylie, McManus, McCarron- have hidden this fact to more casual observers. No more. The miles are up and the new crop haven't got to the standard yet. That often happens when a generational team all grows old together- the falloff is stark.

Yes we should respect Monaghan and it'll be a tough challenge but this isn't the Monaghan team of a few years ago. We all know that. If we have any aspirations of doing anything in this years championship we should be beating these lads with a bit to spare… It's time to get a bit ruthless here, look at what Kerry did to them and look at their record this year, played 11, won 2, lost 8, drew 1. ahsure.

Traditionally, Monaghan bring a directness and steely resolve to all encounters. This is straight knockout, so, we expect nothing but the same pride and determination from you. Tbh, we often wish our players had more of these qualities, as we know they have the skills, yet.. they can be frustrating to watch at times. In fairness, Maher and D'Arcy have added much needed physicality to our setup. Best of luck to both team's.

I think Galway are playing too conservatively for the players they have - all this back and forth, slow, lateral play is ok to a degree but sometimes they just have to go for the jugular including going for goals along with points. Of course when it breaks down like after the soft goal conceded in the Armagh game where there was "chaos" for the last 15 mins or so is where all this goes out the window and then it can be too late to claw it back. As you say, they have to show more ruthlessness and less of this "dilly-dallying" with the slow build up play scoring a nice point here and a point there which may end up with Galway being a point or two ahead at the end. That is just a fearful approach to important games which usually ends up in tears.

There is a tremendous irony that under the guidance of one of our greatest ever forwards, the team plays with such timidity.
