Replying To sligo joe: "Well gasúr does appear in all the "foclóirí gaeilge" meaning boy but I'm afraid no sign of "gasún" probably a mis-spelling/mispronunciation of the proper noun Garsún" Always gasún or gosoon around Roscommon so probably pronounced that way in east Connacht Irish now dead unfortunately.

Replying To jm25: "Was mcdaid playing midfield v Derry ?? Seemed to be tracking rogers a good bit from watching on TV
Also his efforts getting back for glass goal was slack enough.
Hes all action and I don't think we get best out of him if he's back defending.
he's not outstanding winning kickouts like Darcy or conroy to a lesser extent
I think half forward is his best spot was great v Dublin and v Roscommon Mayo this year in that role.
Leave the dirty work to Maher around the middle." nail on the head

If you opened your eyes you'd see who's moving into galway and they're not from Mayo.
You forgot to give yourself your usual few thumbs up, go on you can still do it maith a buachaillín

Right getting back to the game.
The lads trained in Breffni Park last Saturday morning.
I find it hard to see PJ changing much players wise, he just has never done that. The elephant in the room is the potential 3 weeks running. Saturday Prelim QF and then QF. Panel has to used to try and maintain some sort of freshness for a QF if we get that far. I'm thinking Heaney, Daly, Sweeney, Molloy, Hernon, O'Neill and try and mind Comer and Walsh. I can't see Derry getting anything against Dublin but we'll see

Its hard to know what to expect from Armagh, they will want to win but wont want to get injuries that would rule lads out for the next few matches. I hope we can get the win but after the last two matches we seem to be having to battle to survive rather than seeing out the group like Armagh, we are probably lucky they are already guaranteed top spot. I expect Derry had targetted us as the team they were most likely to beat and it will be interesting if they can bring the same intensity against the Dubs. The lads will know its now or they are gone so at least if we are to go out I expect them to go down fighting. Looking for the Dubs to do us a favour and slip into 3rd on 1 point would be a poor enough way to go through and not bode well for our chances after that.

I know a good few galway people living here in Mayo and thankfully they're all more enlightened than you.
They don't have the same parochial, small minded outlook as you

Kerry great Darragh O'Sé is saying in the national media today that Galway lack leaders. He's saying that when the game is at boiling point there's effectively no one to look to who'll say 'we're okay here.'
I think we have forged leaders all over the field on this Galway team, 4 Connacht titles in a row and two All Ireland finals in three years would attest to a fair bit of leadership but by God almighty every last man in the maroon is going to have to stand tall on Saturday evening and show it in abundance.
Time to click - how long have diehard Galway supporters waited to see this group of men fully gel, rip into the opposition and take them apart? The excuses and tales of woe and injury sagas are growing a bit old at this stage. Time to Deliver. Have a bloody cut at it. Play the fast, direct ball. Take on the half goal chance full blooded. Armagh really, really want us to be cautious and fearful of mistakes, playing for possession stats, and see us repeatedly playing it cagey. They're expecting it from us. McGeeney gobbles that stuff up for breakfast. What he and his team can't handle half as well is teams starting viciously fast and aggressive - pressing like hell, winning the dirty ball, hitting early scores and majors at that. He won't be half as comfortable as in Croker last year if we can man up and get a chokehold on primary possession and control the middle third. Running directly at them, playing with zip and urgency. McGeeney wants us gone out of this championship, make no mistake. His mantra over the years has always been that every last game is meaningful and that momentum matters. That won't change. He wants any fresh faces to firmly lay down a marker. He wants Galway gone. So if we're passive and ponderous in any way, we'll be out.
We got our Nestor but it's been a rocky patch on the road since - but we're still on the road. We'll be in Breffni on a Saturday summers evening and we'll take that. There's this road to the knockout stages still - and it goes right through McGeeney's charges. Chest out. Take it.

Its all well and good talking about changes and picking teams here but PJ rarely make more than 2 changes a game (and they are usually to compensate for injuries). We wont see a massive difference I dont think. Jesus lads its do or die so shouldnt even need to say a whole lot to them in teh dressing room, get out there, manic intensity and get it done.

He doesn't make changes but lads won't be able for 3 weekends in a row potentially. Thinking back to last year we got lucky in the second of the 3 matches when Monaghan hit the bar and then were completely written off against the Dubs for the third game but we got a great impact off the bench that day, Darcy, Heaney and obviously Culhane scored off the bench and Hernon brought serious pace around the middle

Dara names comer , walsh and conroy as 3 of the best players in the country, fair enough but 2 of them aren't game ready, injuries clear up but it takes a while for even the best to get up to the pace of a game. Hopefully Saturdays game will see them get valuable game time and a result that will help bring them on. Conroy was hurting teams , he played it cute but teams have copped on to what he was at. With no comer or walsh at full tilt teams have been able to curb Paul's influence. I'd love to see galway get the full deck injury free. We would b a different team.

If Galway can hang on to the coattails and be in it with 10 minutes to go their need is greater and that might see them upset things. I expect though Armagh will go out strong, get it wrapped up early then empty the bench. Mc Geeney will be delighted if they get it done while getting players off in the final 20.

Can't really see Armagh having game wrapped up early as I said in previous post I'd expect a much better team starting on sat in my opinion I'd make 4 changes
Out Gleason. In flaherty
Mulkerrins. Fitz
Conroy. Darcy
O Neill. Cooke
I'd Also imagine Hernon be back on bench as well
I was just going through subs I think Sam o Neill might actually loose out on the 26 squad if Hernon comes back in strange it may seem

Replying To Alwaysencourage: "He might also want Dublin out" Mc Geeney will worry about Armagh. He will use the match to give game time to his squad especially the players he will want to use later on in the Championship.
