Bob Dylan is a pseudonym that Robert Zimmerman took . He was motivated to so by reading poetry from Dylan Thomas . A small piece of fairly useless info.

The funny thing is, if he had just held his hand up and accepted he got it wrong, nobody would have cared, but no, he's so terrified of being wrong that he was willing to go into battle and made a fool of himself in the process.

Mind you, this fear of being wrong ties in with his unwillingness to call anything in advance, he would rather wait and then slag off others with the stones to call things in advance. Because here's the thing, if you get a prediction wrong, NO ONE CARES, your opinion isn't that important.

Get a prediction wrong? So what, just make another one. It's not difficult.

I'll put my hands up and admit I'm not always correct, but I genuinely believe Galway can win the All Ireland this year

I'd have you as 2nd equal favourites with Clare. I'm often wrong too though!

That would be a great game but the two games in 2018 nearly gave me a heart attack. Same as when we play Tipp, no matter where the two teams are at the game will always be decided by a point.

Will be interesting to see the team selection to play Antrim. Conor Cooney is presumably back fit and he could come back in but I'd like to see the same starting forward line that played in Westmeath. Fintan should get another 70 minutes under his belt and the other position up for grabs is between Morrissey and Grealish.

I'd go with a mix and match don't think scoring difference is too important. I'd give maybe p mannion , g mac whelan & joe cooney a rest.

Prob give back up goalie a go too

Try get some of back up forwards Collins McManus McLaughlin some gametime.

I see the match is now a double header with the Dublin football team, and they have increased the price which is annoying as I have no interest in the second game but still have to pay the 25euros, surly this is not fair on Galway supporters??

I know it's nice to try out different guys and also not risk injury to the established players but I would like a settled 15, with all due respect to the other teams in Leinster my key matches are Kilkenny (group game) Kilkenny (Leinster Final) and then All Ireland Semi Final.
