Just like he did for Offaly in '98 too. ;) He had them primed, only for another Galway man Michael Bond to come in and take the glory. Farrell himself had done plenty of the heavy lifting and grunt work in Galway before he took over as manager, with his successful UCG team containing key players from 1980 All-Ireland team.

Why don't you answer my question? Two more questions for you: What was Limerick's record the 35 years before 2018? How many AIs have Tipp won in that same period? baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 16/07/2023 15:30:49 2494796 Link 1 |

Both wexford and Dublin have more senior all Irelands than Galway. Wexford have also won the leinster championship more recently than Galway. Dublin also have your number pretty often. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3281 - 16/07/2023 21:08:49 2494929 Link 1 |

Wigan 'Athletic' have also won the FA Cup more recently than Spurs.

This talk of numbers and records is depressing and misleading. The records show that Dublin have won 6 and that Waterford have won 2 AIs. Which of those counties is a true hurling county? It's hard enough to listen to a Galway man putting down his own county but to have a Wexford man coming in with his numbers on the Galway thread is a bit rich! Since Galway joined Leinster they have won 1 All Ireland, 3 Leinsters and have contested 3 AIFs. Wexford and Dublin have won 1 Leinster each and haven't contested any AIF. Wexford have won one All Ireland in more than 50 years but seem to be using Galway's recent participation in Leinster as an excuse for their demise. Wake up and smell the coffee! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 17/07/2023 08:32:42 2494966 Link 2 |

its about time Galway remove the chip shop from the front of their jerseys too. So tacky. The joke has gone on far too long. it feeds into the narrative of not having the mentality to do it when (forgive me) the chips are down. Prancing around with it on the front of what is supposed to be worn with pride. Litterly anything else would be better. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 441 - 17/07/2023 09:09:41 2494978 Link 2 |

Galway have been unbeaten against Wexford (mostly wins and a couple of draws) since entering Leinster, have won Leinster 3 times versus once for Wexford and have won the AI much more recently i.e. 2017 versus 1996 so what is your point exactly?

Yep goes to show what Spurs really are.

Noone is using Galway as any kind of excuse for our recent record, which is largely down to poor consistency and not bringing lads through to Senior for the last 6 or 7 years. In the noughties the Kilkenny juggernaut beat us regularly, as they did everyone else also. In the 90s we were reasonably competitive but kept losing the big knockout games by a point or 2 to good Kilkenny and Offaly teams, except 96/97. In the 70s Cork and Kilkenny had great teams which was why, despite having a good team ourselves, we only won 3 Leinsters and no AIs. Then in the 50s and 60s we were probably the next most winning team after Tipp. Ignoring the 2020 season and the disastrous year just gone we have been pretty competitive against the bigger counties in League and Championship the last few years, winning most of our League games and in championship losing to Clare by a score or less the last 2 times, drawing with you twice, beating the Cats fairly regularly also. Then the consistency problem kicks in as we have only drawn and lost to Westmeath and Dublin the last 2 years. If you think it's frustrating being a Galway fan then you should put yourself in our shoes: D

Dalo is a fan, I recall. Spurs must be 'carried on their shields' all the time, behind closed doors of course. Losing.....with honour though!!

To borrow the old Joan Burton intro...... can I just say.......I'm not a Spurs fan. It's just that Wigan and Wexico both begin with W, and Spurs are the only 'top side' not to win the FA Cup since Wigan won it Had to check that, obviously!

"Hard enough to listen to a Galway man putting down his own county...." Lets call a spade a spade. A "Galway man" putting down his own county is not a Galway man. He is an anti-Galway man. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1970 - 17/07/2023 13:12:42 2495085 Link 2 |

Tottenham's trophy room is where they store the cups. And the saucers.

Absolutely not. 100% believe Galway have hugely improved standards in leinster and added to the championship. This was a direct response to somebody insulting the quality of the championship outside of kilkenny. Hurling is a taken extremely seriously in Wexford Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3281 - 17/07/2023 13:53:58 2495101 Link 1 |

Of course they are better. They are richer and can afford better players. But the fact is they aren't as successful in the last 30 years as Wigan have won 1 of the big 2 domestic competitions in England in that time while Spurs being Spurs have won #### all; )

It's made the AI series more competitive since the championship has been organised the way it is. Straight knock out and only letting Galway in at the semifinal stage had a detrimental effect on the development of hurling in counties. I would class winning an all Ireland in what I call the modern era, is a lot harder now than before 2009. More competitive games and the need for bigger better squads have vastly improved hurling.
