any truth in gallagher linking up with Joyce and Galway? Farney2022 (Monaghan) - Posts: 44 - 20/09/2024 14:21:56 2570993 Link
Replying To Gearoid1998ffowaed: "Anyone else think Conor Gleeson was snubbed with the All Stars? I also can't understand the decision to nominate Shane Walsh, I'd be the first to defend him here but this was not his year for various reasons." Was daft Conor Gleeson wasn't nominated when clearly one of the top three keepers this year and Patton was not. Shane Walsh seemed to get in simply for his performance against Dublin.

Replying To StopTheLights: "The north Galway *** again. Hopefully Joyce will bring in someone who knows something about management. Maybe someone who won't leave a man missing frees for the whole All Ireland final. Clueless at best. Let's keep PJ on for interviews. Sure lookit, he is quite entertaining at those." As I haven't heard anything to the contrary, I presume PJ is staying on. Are you happy with that? What is the general feeling among Galway people on PJ?

Replying To galway19: "If only Cooke had come back a few months ago. Great to see him back anyway but still worrying for Moycullen they only kicked 0-08. The winner comes from Corofin, Salthill and Moycullen. A real lack of quality among the rest." He was available if needed, someone decided he wasn't needed, go figure. He'll need to make a difference for Moycullen, they are nowhere near the team they were, FF 2024 is between Corofin and Salthill Knocknacarra if they can stay clear of each other in the draws.. dontlookback (Galway) - Posts: 281 - 20/09/2024 15:36:45 2571015 Link
Replying To togoutlads: "Scan is bringing very little that's obvious to the outside world in terms of turning that forwards talent pool into a slick, cohesive, imaginative and attacking unit. They're not anywhere near where they could be. In very basic terms, CON and Divo pretty much sorted the backs with vast improvement over time, our forwards are still as disorganised and uncoached looking as ever. Only their individual ability makes them competitive." 100% Agree, 2 finals in 3 years and worse we've improved dontlookback (Galway) - Posts: 281 - 20/09/2024 15:43:09 2571017 Link
Johnny Heaney was excellent last night for Kilannin. Kevin Walsh young lad Dara was good too hard to believe he is still under 20 again next year, very big lad. For St James Sam O Neill stood out, would be fairly sure that he will play for Galway next year in the league provided he stays injury free, looks very talented Flemenstar200 (Galway) - Posts: 64 - 20/09/2024 15:45:52 2571019 Link
Replying To Eire89: "Could Cian Folan make an impact with Galway old school forward strong & stays clsoe to goal and a good finisher" Excellent finisher. I don't know. He wouldn't have as much joy with intercounty defenders and we don't play old school football. We have Comer the best in the business and even when hes fully fit we dont get enough ball into him when he's in at full forward. If we did I'd say folan would at least be worth bringing in. I'd be happy to see him brought in for trials . I don't know if he'd make it though galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1704 - 20/09/2024 16:24:34 2571027 Link

Replying To backtooldwall: "I don't think that is what the poster is suggesting it is more likely that this poster is only making observations about players known to this person and is not familiar with players from senior and intermediate teams from the city and western areas.People are more aware of things that are closer to themselves because they have more exposure to them and should be allowed voice their opinions as they see them." Then we need Galway footballers not north Galway footballers.The west is the football stronghold since 1998. Leave it out. StopTheLights (Galway) - Posts: 387 - 20/09/2024 17:55:48 2571041 Link

Replying To Eire89: "Could Cian Folan make an impact with Galway old school forward strong & stays clsoe to goal and a good finisher" It's possible but he won't be given the unfettered freedom in front of goal to gain unchallenged possession and lots of space and time to get a good shot away at inter county level as D Connelly and Barry McHugh have shown. backtooldwall (Galway) - Posts: 140 - 20/09/2024 18:51:40 2571051 Link
Replying To galwayfball: "O Neill was excellent . Lacked a bit of cuteness at times but that will come with age and he'll learn from the best" Both O'Neills are fantastic athletes but especially Sam. Probably need some polishing up skill wise but you'd hope that will improve with experience. Great to see Galway producing great athletes now though. For years we couldn't match Mayo for example as they just had better athletes than us but that has now changed. We have big lads who can run and jump. For years we didn't have that.

He's got incredible potential and just needs a bit of polishing, which will definitely come with more experience. It's exciting to see the shift-Galway now has big, athletic lads who can run, jump, and match up with anyone, even Mayo. The future is looking bright for Galway sports! abdullah (USA) - Posts: 2 - 21/09/2024 11:22:15 2571123 Link

When are we going to have clarity on managerial situation. Hearing conflicting reports. Personally, I hope Joyce stays. Has a year left on his term so he's aswell to see it out. Coaching appointment will be crucial though. gaillimhboy (Galway) - Posts: 358 - 22/09/2024 21:29:51 2571321 Link

What's with the scheduling of quarter finals having games on same time. I know id have attended streamed all 4 now will be seeing 2 of them jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1300 - 23/09/2024 11:07:33 2571418 Link
Replying To jm25: "What's with the scheduling of quarter finals having games on same time. I know id have attended streamed all 4 now will be seeing 2 of them" Makes absolutely no sense. Play two together on Saturday in Pearse stadium, get a good crowd, and play two on Sunday in Tuam. Will they be streaming all games?
