Replying To Eire89: "Think everyone in the county and further afield wants MoolaCullen (Man City) bet and even some from moycullen and no orignal people not transfers in." I am a big slater of Moycullens transfers, but after their performance at the weekend you have to say their homegrown boys are top tier too.
Dessie, Fionn, 3 Kellys, Daveron, Cooke - all quality
Dessie's workrate in last few mins was exceptional, even more impressive when you look up at the scoreboard and considering he is hounding lads down being 20+ points ahead
One negative - that goalie, for a handpicked keeper, they got a bit of a dud. Kicks it out like he is wearing wellies. Only for all the monsters they have out in the war zone those kickouts would catch out most teams.
They'll have to get busy in the transfer market again over the winter ;)
All joking aside, phenomenal team with quality all over the pitch

While a poorly maintained fixtures on the website is an annoyance patrons might somewhat tolerate, the decision by county board officials to impose a €25 admission fee with zero concessions for students or OAPs for Sunday's standalone senior final is entirely indefensible.
Nationwide, the standard price for a senior county final sits at €20, frequently packaged as a double-header with discounted €15 options available. To leverage a marquee local derby between Pádraig Pearses and St. Brigid's-two heavyweights of Connacht club football-with such prohibitive pricing is self-defeating. A fairly priced gate would easily attract a crowd of over 5,000; under these current conditions, that milestone is entirely out of reach

Replying To Galwayareback: "Just listened to Cathal Clancys interview. Kind of had a Freuden slip with "we have lads coming back from all over the world" :-)" Yes, locals who are working abroad. Lots of people had to emigrate in the past but unfortunately couldn't return, especially west of the Corrib. Fair dues to them for coming to play for their club. There's no reasoning with jealousy!

Replying To mintyfresh: "What are the chances he would go in with footballers? He has been very loyal to the hurlers, especially the last few years. Didn't Dessie try to bring him in his last year? I think he would be a great addition and no better man than Mark McHugh to try and get him involved." Was he not in with the footballers at the start of the year last year? But couldn't shake a niggling injury and so stepped away to deal with it?

Replying To Armchairreporter: "There will be no shocks. Loughrea and Clarinbridge all the way. Imagine a packed Kenny Park. Unfortunately all we can do is imagine. Pearse stadium shambles last year." Even the Co. Semi Finals aren't a double header in Kenny Park. It's OK for Loughrea to play the Reeves Cup Final before their Seniors play the Semi Final but not for poor Tommy Larkins who have to play their Junior A Final after their Seniors play the Semi Final?? Hypocrisy!!
Reeves Cup Final Friday Loughrea v sarsfields
Senior Semi Final Saturday Tommy Larkins v Clarinbridge
Junior A Final Sunday Tommy Larkins v Turloughmore
Senior Semi Final Sunday Loughrea v Craughwell

Replying To UnbiasedAndHighlyEducated: "Agreed. It seems a few of the 'hair boys are looking to stir the pot
Whilst I think the inter final will be closer than many think, Dromahair will not be able to keep up with Annaduff. Lot of focus on Cox, are we forgetting that Annaduff have 6 - 8 very capable forwards outside of him? A fine mix of youth and experience, strong through the lines, plenty of different options to bring in. Annaduff would beat Dromahair without Cox. Of that I am sure.
Dromahair have a couple of tricky forwards. If it becomes a shootout, Annaduff by 10. If Dromahair batted down the hatches and are hard to play through, they will run them tight.
Annaduff bench to make all the difference. Duffers by 5. Thanks so millions" Agreed if it's a shootout rather then a war of attrition that most teams try to deploy when faced with Annaduff, Dromahair will be punished badly. Melvin got the most change outta them by defending then fast countering, when they went all out attack, they were cut open from the turnover. Duff also have 3/4 forwards to spring from the bench if their starters tire or injure so I don't see a way for Dromahair other than trying to keep it as low scoring as possible when they don't have the wind

I doubt its even a Dromahair person. Someone trying to stir and Dromahair getting the flack for it. Anyway, if the statements were true with all these strong runners, where were they running too in the last 2 games where they didn't score for entire half's.

Replying To Dennis_Maroon95kg: "How'd you figure that one out??" Athlone drew with Tubberclair. You can't rank teams purely on head to head or results, just because St Loman's beat Kinnegad by 10 points and Tubberclair brought St Loman's to extra time doesn't mean Tubberclair will beat Kinnegad. Different teams have different strengths, weaknesses, playing styles etc. Form, injuries, conditions and performances can also be influential.

Replying To Eire89: "Think everyone in the county and further afield wants MoolaCullen (Man City) bet and even some from moycullen and no orignal people not transfers in." I wouldn't agree with that fully. While I would question their approach in relation to the number of outside intercounty players and can see why it doesn't sit right with many, I'll always support any Galway club that comes out of the county.
I also have a lot of time for the club in many other ways. They've done massive work up there in developing players and have produced a large number for the county team.
With the very sad passing of the great Paul Clancy, they've lost someone who did incredible work behind the scenes to drive the club forward. They also lost their recent senior manager, Paul's brother in-law, Don Connellan. Both young men who gave a huge amount to the club and community.
I'll stand over my questioning of some of the transfers in, which I feel has a detrimental impact on their own younger players coming through, as well as the fact they don't really need to. They're incredibly strong already, due to the great work they've done.
At the same time, the name-calling is a bit childish. They're a very proud club and have every right to be.

Replying To streaker: "Genuine question lads (obviously there are no right or wrong answers)- Did abolishing the foreigner rule have a positive or detrimental affect on European competition? I know it was a long, long time ago, and I'm not for a second suggesting bringing anything like it back. Just curious as to what people think." I think it was negative to a degree, in a way it was some sort of curb on clubs winning just through buying every global super star. You also took away any advantage the smaller clubs had to compete like the Eastern European teams, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the French. Even if the limit was raised from 3 to 5.
The playing field was never even but there was less of a gap between the big and the small at least.
