Replying To Galway456: "Mightnt be too bad since he walked off the pitch, shanes hammer looked worse in the sense he was fairly limping" Is it Walsh's hamstring or ankle? I thought ankle. jam83 (Galway) - Posts: 187 - 01/07/2024 12:37:18 2556208 Link
Replying To cavan.galway: "pope why are you so negative? is everything ok" I don't know why. Must be my default setting, I suppose. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4021 - 01/07/2024 12:45:15 2556213 Link
Replying To Galway456: "Mightnt be too bad since he walked off the pitch, shanes hammer looked worse in the sense he was fairly limping" Was it not Shane's ankle though rather than the hammer? galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1303 - 01/07/2024 12:51:48 2556216 Link
Replying To jm25: "This winging about throw in times the last few weeks from fans is becoming tedious, 3pm this Saturday for hurling is a bad time 1.15 for Donegal yesterday was too early 6pm on a Saturday is too late. When should the game be played ?? There'd be uproar if double header was 2 & 4 on Saturday Unless you are heading to cleggan I'd also suggest checking the route you are taking if it's over 4 hrs" It's an All Ireland semi final I couldn't care less what time I get home the next day!! galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1303 - 01/07/2024 12:54:09 2556220 Link
Replying To galwayman2: "It's an All Ireland semi final I couldn't care less what time I get home the next day!!" I think this will be the pick of the 2 semi finals. Looking forward to seeing who comes out on top. Think Galway will tbh. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4116 - 01/07/2024 13:46:02 2556244 Link
Replying To galwayman2: "It's an All Ireland semi final I couldn't care less what time I get home the next day!!" no one is saying it should be a double header. its about having the throw ins at a reasonable time to get younger kids home in time for bed anyways 4pm is great.

Looking back on this u20 team now - https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2020/1219/1185445-galway-are-crowned-all-ireland-u20-champions/ The whole full back line is now the senior full back line. Cathal Sweeney, Matthew Tierney, Tomo Culhane, Cian Hernon, Paul Kelly and Patrick Kelly all started that day. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 835 - 01/07/2024 14:14:28 2556263 Link
https://www.the42.ie/dublin-galway-under-21-3366034-Apr2017/ Interesting to look at at the u21 final between these from 2017. Both teams had players who played last Saturday who are now or have been regular starters at senior. Half of that Galway team went on to be decent senior intercounty footballers. centrefield99 (Galway) - Posts: 142 - 01/07/2024 14:45:24 2556275 Link
Could Cian Hernon push for his clubmates place? crankyincorofin (Galway) - Posts: 102 - 01/07/2024 14:49:34 2556276 Link
Comor Flaherty too.. Not to many Dubs. What happened Ciaran Archer? He was a serious prospect. Also I'm remined about Lee Gannon who broke through to seniors . Is he injured? If so he was a loss to the Dubs on Saturday. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 978 - 01/07/2024 15:05:54 2556285 Link
Replying To emmomac: "no one is saying it should be a double header. its about having the throw ins at a reasonable time to get younger kids home in time for bed anyways 4pm is great. Gaillimh Abú" Absolutely. Only right we got the the 4pm Sunday slot. We were brought up to Dublin for the 2018 and 2022 semi finals and on Saturday night for late throw in games on the Saturday. Grand if you are Ballinasloe or east Galway. But if you are Clifden, Leitir Mór or Oilean Arann a different ball game. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1973 - 01/07/2024 15:17:33 2556291 Link

Replying To backtooldwall: "For anyone who is only half way home after passing by Ballinasloe I will leave it to your genius to poor a quicker route.I will be looking forward your solution." As I said unless your heading to cleggan. Waiting for your solution for what time the games should have been played Saturday. Lots of people work Saturday or after a week work having to be on the road early is a pain too. If one of those games was at 2 saturday you'd prob need to up at 6am not ideal for lots either jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1407 - 01/07/2024 15:44:24 2556299 Link

Replying To festinog: "Agreed. Apart from the factual inaccuracy of the poster you are responding to, his was a churlish statement. Connacht champions and all-Ireland semi-finalists as amateur sportsmen is nothing to dismiss." Totally agree. Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 396 - 01/07/2024 15:50:53 2556303 Link

I do think he was with "development squad" for FBD at start of year in Bekan but does he be with PJ & Co at training or what his is remit. I am just interested in the dynamics of it. But absolutley great to see a strong cohort developing into importasnt players for seniors who are in last 4. Eire89 (Galway) - Posts: 318 - 01/07/2024 16:04:53 2556311 Link
Well done on a great game, have to say always thought yous had a fantastic squad when everyone is fit, some turn around from nearly losing to Sligo, great to see it, we have had some tussles the last few years and hope we meet in the final, I have a few bob on yous to win the lot Liftball (Armagh) - Posts: 32 - 01/07/2024 16:38:54 2556320 Link
