If everyone available v mayo my team Think mchugh definitely out excluding him Power McGrath. Kelly. Glynn Sweeney. Daly Mcdaid Conroy. Maher Tierney. Finnerty. Cooke Heaney. Walsh. Comer Bring Heaney out between half forward and half back line play Walsh at 14 where he scored 9 points in all Ireland no point keeping lads on bench snd game gone start with ur strongest team and no messing naming players that are not fit it's pure rubbish Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 1103 - 19/06/2023 18:57:10 2487581 Link

Replying To S1234: "Ha mayo coxky and Galway are not cocktails at all? Must be having a laugh ha Galway are also very beatable going by your game yesterday.." True my friend - we may as well hand Sam to Mayo now and be done with it! tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3470 - 19/06/2023 19:30:05 2487590 Link
Hard defeat to take on the chin yesterday, penalty miss proved costly and still should have leveled it up with the last kick of the game but for whatever reason Shane Walsh can't find his form of last year. Comer obviously a huge loss and if he and Sean Kelly are out it makes the task against Mayo all the more difficult. Yes the winner on Sunday will be re-energized but not finishing top in the group is a big disadvantage. Quarter final will be against rested group winner for Galway could be against Kerry or Dublin and that would be Galways 3rd match in 14 days, yesterday was a slog and trying to overcome Mayo will take a lot of juice out of the team and need to be lucky to avoid further injuries. Far from ideal situation let's be honest but have to get on with it now. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 19/06/2023 19:48:33 2487595 Link

Could we get a loan of Kevin Walsh for a few days from Cork? The counter-attack needs a bit of tuning up maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1242 - 20/06/2023 10:27:37 2487697 Link

Replying To MachaireConnacht: "In fairness Galway got the nicer of the two routes to the All Ireland last year so ye can't complain too much on that. I think Mayo would prefer to have avoided Galway more than the other way around. Galway won't fear Mayo and ye will have the league final loss to fire up the team. It should be a great game and proper championship knock out involing the two Connacht big guns. What's the story with Comer? Is he not fully fit?" That wasn't a draw. Up to now there's been a rotation every year, and it was Connacht's turn to meet ulster in a semi if the provincial winners got through. That was there and known by every team (Mayo, Roscommon etc), at the start of the year. Galway got the tough draw in Connacht and then capitalized on that As, for actual draws, Galway had a pot of Armagh, Cork and Clare last year, got Armagh. They got the toughest group by far of the provincial winners this year. They then get Mayo, again the toughest of 3 options. It's a huge statistical anomaly. 1 in 27 chance PressureKick (UK) - Posts: 318 - 20/06/2023 10:37:27 2487707 Link
Do people still actually think Ian Burke is good ? Hardly ? The token all star he got in 2018 seems to get him into the team when he adds nothing. Was half decent in a Connacht semi this year and everybody goes insane. Hasn't done a tap except get black carded v Tyrone since. MapleSyrup (Galway) - Posts: 165 - 20/06/2023 10:56:44 2487719 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Cillian isn't match fit." Cillian O'Connor is match fit. Sure he scored 2-6 in a super showing in the senior league in Mayo at the weekend. I'd say that would merit at least a good 20+ mins appearance for him. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1101 - 20/06/2023 10:57:23 2487720 Link

He's a very nice, very intelligent footballer with lightning quick hands etc but just not anywhere near impactful enough for a team with ambitions of winning Sam. It's just not going to happen. There are better forwards in the Galway set up not getting a start or sufficient time now. Our mgmt and coaching staff can deliver but you'd wonder is it a meritocracy in selection in our camp or are there certain sideline loyalties clouding better judgement when obvious change is needed? Mgmt need to be very honest with themselves if we're to succeed. Some tough personal calls have to be made. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1101 - 20/06/2023 11:20:44 2487737 Link

Name me any team which plays a 2 man inside line where 1 of the 2 is pretty much guaranteed to not score ? MapleSyrup (Galway) - Posts: 165 - 20/06/2023 11:42:28 2487747 Link
