Replying To Viking66: "Galway club sides are always competitive. It does help that one always competes in an AISF too though as regards wins overall. Most of the top clubs theres nothing much between them. Your champions get a bye, while the others have to win 2 or 3 games against similar standard clubs from other counties before they even get there." Or, its actually a massive hindrance not playing more tougher competition provincially, in fact if we had more competitive provincial games likelihood is that we'd have more club titles.

Replying To S1234: "Galway are not in the top 3 to 5 according to paddy power anyway haha..... ! Not even 6th according to paddy power ." That's 1 bookie out of about 10 Clare, an almost certainly due to Andy overhyped. You can get Mayo at 20/1 elsewhere which is their place, if you understand what odds mean. Looks at the odds to win Connacht for example, which even allowing for a slightly easier draw for Galway, should tell you where things stand currently.

Replying To Bon: "I get 100% that they have a nock on on people here. The point I'm making is that anything that goes on outside of our own country is completely outside of our control, Trump will do what he wants, Putin, Israel etc will do what they want and there's not a thing we can do, yet there's people on this thread and plenty of others that are obsessed with all this and its living rent free in their heads which is absolute madness and will destroy your mental health.
I can guarantee you one thing trump/putin etc aren't worrying about us." I get what you mean. I pay attention to it and can form an opinion but I do know people who obsess about it. I personally know somebody who cried when trump was elected. That to me is madness.

Replying To PressureKick: "Is the Mayo lad above trolling or what? Walsh not a starter or not pacy coming off the bench? He was the best player in Dublin championship this year by a country mile and despite probably losing a step is still faster than the vast majority of forwards. He also had numerous top class displays last season to go with other quieter ones
Defenders not being worried about comer coming on (if fit) is equally laughable. He caused havoc v Meath having barely played a minute all year. Naming Connelly as a starter also
Galway's squad is somewhere in the top 3-5 bracket. It's probably not good enough to win them an all Ireland but a decent run at it and a Connacht 5 in a row is a realistic aim" Galway are not in the top 3 to 5 according to paddy power anyway haha..... ! Not even 6th according to paddy power .

Replying To MinorChamp_09: "Just because the Irish Examiner said they opted out, doesn't mean they opted out. You need to improve your sources. Mine are fantastic and informed me they were dropped.
I'd agree with you on Heaney - he did give great service although he as anonymous in 2 all ireland finals." Listen to PJs interview with Tommy Rooney yesterday on OTB and you can hear it from horses mouth rather than listening to your sources. He said that he spoke with Johnny and Tomo..in heaneys case Joyce said heaney felt he couldn't give them commitment but that the door is open for either of them on month or two time. On Tomo he said he has played very little football for club or county with hamstring issues . Would say with heaney he was probably not happy with the game time he got last year and that wasn't willing to slog it out for another year with limited game time which is understandable at his age and years he's put in.

Replying To Lockjaw: "The only real difference this time I suppose is that they aren't even bothering with any pretence about the real reason for their intervention in Venezuela. Could be the same in Greenland, and noone in the EU will say boo to him.
The problem is that it gives the likes of Xi and Putin carte blanche to futher their own ambitions. Noone in the west will be able to say anything to them with a straight face.
It's depressing watching history repeat itself." The USA history in global politics is a complicated one. They have gone missing when needed most and when they have used their might they have used it often for tge wrong reasons. The two biggest examples of going missing which resulted in disastrous consequences were post WW1 and post the downfall of the USSR. Had tge Wilson view of the world been continued we perhaps would not have seen the rise of the Natzis and the mess in the middle east and likewise Clinton's pivot to America first allowed the rise of Putin in Russia. There are of course examples post WW2 where America got it right, the most notable Korea but too often decisions were made for the wrong reasons leading to bad outcomes.
I don't think Xi or Putin will change any course they are on because of what the US did, the moral high ground of democratic countries was lost a long time ago. All that has been accomplished is pushing to former antagonist closer together but neither do either of them trust each other as ultimately all each of them care about is their own survival. If the EU and US decided to corporate together on trade China's relationship with Russia would be very fragile.

Replying To farneygael3: "Bannigan needs to pressure about 13 of the Scotstown panel to come in this year and give Ulster a right crack. And look to get back to the AISF. Personally think this is achieveable if he can get those lads in" 13!! and where would he pull all these from? he'd have been better if he didn't let those 10/12 lads leave last year and he'd have a far stronger panel than the current bunch of 3rd strings.
