Replying To Viking66:  "Yes. But if you lose you won't make the AI series."

Replying To katser:  "Positively Viking......I'm only thinking about winning v Dublin!"

Replying To gilly1910:  "I don't think we're in any position to slag off any county over losing All Irelands, I would doubt there is any county in Ireland with a worse All Ireland losing record than Galway, with the hurlers accounting for the majority of those losses. The Galway hurlers are like Spurs in a lot of ways, capable of beating anyone on their day, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty they will inevitably lose. They have a history of lost chances, and will never be a major hurling power house like Limerick have become, as it's just not in their DNA. Happy with a rare success, happy to get to finals now and again, but no drive and no ambition primarily due to the fact that they are very poorly governed from the top downwards. We constantly blame managers, we were all thrilled when King Henry took us over, but now that we are clearly going backwards, it's all his fault, with shouts to bring back MOD who was fortunate enough to benefit from all of Anthony Cunningham's great work. There are serious issues in Galway hurling like our fascination for winning Minor Hurling titles, yet no questions were asked when none of that success translated into U-20 success. We can clearly see the results of that now with nothing coming through to senior level, and we are still massively reliant on some of our big names from 2017. We are poorly coached for which yes the manager must take the blame, but where is our underage hurling academy in comparison to Limerick. The Limerick underage academy has been essential in the skill development, game management, strength and conditioning and personal development off the pitch for young players, and is absolutely essential in ensuring the continued player growth that will see these players emerge from the academy ready to perform at the highest level for their county. We need to get rid of SuperMacs, and try to find a sponsor with big pockets who is willing to fund such an academy, otherwise we will never challenge for the Liam Mc Carthy again. Galway hurling is still living off 2017, and is now been left rapidly behind, so time for the Galway County Board to wake up, although sadly I won't hold my breath."
