Corofin will beat Tuam in the county final as they will in the league final.."
I think Salthill could put it up to us. We have a new manager and a few retired.

They have a county goalkeeper, Daniel o flaherty, cathal Sweeney, John Maher, Matthew Thompson, Rob Finnerty and Tomo culhane. Various other lads on fringes of panels like Charlie power. Doesn't take much to see them making the leap.

Not sure why your referencing Kerry and Dublin in relation to Galway's ambitions. Armagh, Donegal and possibly Tyrone/Monaghan is who you need to be judging yourself off in relation to an All Ireland

You are still posting away on this thread? Can I offer my commiserations to your Mayo on a group stage championship exit last Sunday. The irony of you using Donegal as your county on here shouldn't be lost on anyone.

Well between those precious ulster teams you mentioned there, there have been only two all-ireland wins in 10 years. Not sure Jim Mcguinness has a grasp on new rules yet and might get found out. Armagh look open at the back.

Very hard to forget the puke football Salthill served up in last year's semi final. It's surely Moycullen who are best placed to win it if it isn't going to be Corofin.

Clare aka as S1234, I see today on the Donegal thread that you had your first post. Now go away till next year and come back when you've found two midfielders and 3 or 4 forwards who can score. The new manager may be more difficult to get with your perilous financial situation.

Kerry, Dublin, Armagh, Donegal, Tyrone and Galway are all within 7/1 with the bookies to win the All-Ireland. We haven't had that many contenders with such short odds for a long time, if ever.
Any contender should judge themselves against all other likely contenders, so I'm not sure why you'd selectively exclude Dublin and Kerry from the list. Kerry are 2nd favourites, just behind Armagh and the Dubs are just slightly longer odds than Galway.
Monaghan are next at 20/1, so quite a bit back from the top-6, according to the bookies. Probably based on the fact that they haven't beaten any Division 1 team this year yet. They are a fine side though.
It's beautifully unpredictable, a Shéamuis. Get out to Ballybofey tomorrow and support YOUR lads. One would almost get the impression you don't follow Donegal at all, given how you little you even mention them. I think you might be a closet Galway fan, since 95% of your posts seem to be in our own forum.

Dublin 31 All-Ireland titles won, Kerry 38. Dublin and Kerry have won 2 of the last three All-Ireland titles. Then you include Monaghan who's never won it.

No retirees. Corofin did a real number on them in semi already it was prob most impressive performance aside from final. Thought salthill lost all energy.

Many teams in Galway just not able to beat corofin so v hard to look past them. As I said on the road to 8 more!
