Agree with you there about ball handling and fumbling being absolutely key to modern hurling. Puckouts have to go to hand, preferably to a player moving forward or a player coming back has to pass it off to a runner and this creates the overlap. When you get to midfield then you can pick out full forwards and you have time to do this and you give them a more favourable ball, Joe Canning said as much a few weeks ago on League Sunday. If the ball is fumbled you may still get the ball into your hand but you are then under pressure and timing of runners off the shoulder will break down.

Nice to get the win yesterday in ennis but god forgive me its hard to get too excited about galway hurling now. the bench looked v poor. We just dont have the numbers. Too many small fellas. Looking at both galway and clare yesterday though, all the young lads playing were small. you'd wonder what academy's are doing. When you look at Limerick and the size of their team. That is the blue print of how to win like. I will be laying on Galway this year anyway. Unfortunately. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 426 - 13/03/2023 14:15:05 2463727 Link 3 |

Having watched the game back you are some bull*******. Frees conceded: P. Mannion × 2 R. Glennon × 2 K. Cooney x 1 J. Grealish x 1 Where are these 5 frees our corner backs conceded????? Grealish and Brennan turned over a good bit of ball after Reidy's fast start. The OTHER corner forward Taylor was playing out the field and not marked by Grealish or Brennan. So now from your 12 points conceded from our corner backs we are down to 6. A 50% reduction. Wish I could do the same to my electricity bill!! Not 20 years ago when you can be the drunk lad in the corner spouting muck that can't be easily checked. Like our corner backs. Up your game.

Having watched the game back I have to ask what fictional game were you watching? Talk about making stuff up. A TD in the Dail wouldn't be a patch on you! Frees conceded: P. Mannion x 2 R. Glennon x 2 K. Cooney x 1 J. Grealish x 1 Thats the 6 accounted for so where or how exactly did the corner backs concede 5 Frees? Take in to account Reidy's 3 points (one of the 3 GMac was picking him up) and Galvin's two points we have now reduced your magical 12 points down to 6!!! 50% reduction! If only I could do the same to my electricity bill...... The days of spouting rubbish and it not be called out are gone. Every game is easily accessible online. Like the two corner backs. Up your game. SamandLiamSoon (Galway) - Posts: 591 - 13/03/2023 16:40:24 2463765 Link 6 |

I hear Sarsfields are looking for someone to do stats for the senior team this year. I know the perfect candidate. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2042 - 13/03/2023 18:14:37 2463782 Link 2 |

Having watched the game back I must say it's great having every game so easily accessible online!! Yes P Mannion fouled "Reidy" when nobody was picking him up.........Corner Backs need to be tight to their men and can't afford to let them drift all over the place unmarked and also they need to turn quicker when their man gets inside them...no point turning like a big Zetor tractor because your man will be gone 10yrds!! The days of Freedom of Speach are here to stay. Sit on that. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2198 - 13/03/2023 19:29:23 2463794 Link 1 |

Agree with this, vert poor stick passing. Has happened so many times during the league, even simple ones when not under pressure don't go to hand, are fumbled or overtime. It's very poor. I think other Counties have been at it for years while we were still going long and expecting a forward to win his share of the ball, worked fine in 17 when we had huge men, we don't now, if anything other teams are ahead of us in that as well. Really need to improve this, Limerick streets ahead of us. Galwayspur (Offaly) - Posts: 230 - 13/03/2023 20:51:01 2463808 Link 1 |

the mods should have him banned from this forum long ago for spouting so many inaccuracies and sometimes worse. An ignoramus is my best description.

So....for this Weekend, We need Wexford to beat limrik, Clare to beat Cork and us to beat Westmeath +35pts!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2198 - 14/03/2023 10:02:19 2463831 Link 1 |

That is too negative. If Cork can beat Limerick, well so can Galway. Get behind the team. They can and will succeed. Gaillimh abú

Just scroll past any posts you don't like rather than calling for censorship. George Orwell warned us about people like you. Sigh.

Wouldnt be worried about making a league semi final or not. We have a five week break after the Westmeath game before we play Wexford which is useful for getting the injured lads back on the training pitch. Still have Fintan and Shane Cooney to come back from injury and Cathal Mannion should be back for the Wexford game as well. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 675 - 14/03/2023 11:12:40 2463847 Link 1 |

Yes I would agree that the current Galway team are a long way behind the 2017 team in terms of game-plan, quality, movement, stick passing, size of players etc. To me its like they are making it up as they go along e.g. the space and time afforded to Clare players last Sunday under little or no pressure was frightening especially in the first half but also in the second half at times e.g. Fitzgerald collecting a pass from the Clare goalie and running about 20 yards before shooting a point completely unmarked is just unacceptable even if "its only the league". Also the current cornerbacks are not as good as the corner backs there in 2018 even though Adrian Tuohy and John Hanbury got their own share of criticism at the time. Midfield is still unsettled since David Burke and Johnny Coen's time and the forwards are "doing their own thing" and playing as individuals to a large degree. I hope there will be a big improvement in the next number of weeks as there needs to be. Are Fintan Burke and Shane Cooney still part of the panel and where did Adrian Tuohy and Ja Mannion disappear to after the Walsh Cup? We will need all those players as well as Cathal Mannion when it comes to the championship to have any chance. Re the size of the players we have now 2 catchphrases come to mind - "its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog" and "a good big un will always beat a good little un". For Galway's sake I hope the first one is more accurate this year! tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3323 - 14/03/2023 11:18:04 2463849 Link 1 |

Whatever about the second one, the first and last will not happen!
