How did galway lose to that mayo team, they are absolutely awful against dublin. Royal.Legend (Meath) - Posts: 699 - 02/07/2023 17:33:43 2491404 Link
Replying To festinog: "Well, on the plus side Galway wouldn't have looked out of place playing Derry, Cork, Monaghan or Armagh. On the negative side, Kerry, Dublin or Mayo (on today's form) would eat us alive. Stark difference between the limited game we're playing, versus the likes of these teams who can play defensively but turn on the afterburners on attack, something we're sorely missing." Ye were the best team in that group and threw it away against a streaky Armagh side which put yous in a rotten position playing a local derby. Even in that game ye played into Mayos hands Galway are still top 3/4 in the country for me in terms of squad CCFabu (Donegal) - Posts: 136 - 02/07/2023 17:36:48 2491406 Link
Quick decision making - key for Dubs. Dublin always look for best positioned player. Galway and Mayo don't have this in their game. Has to be promoted at underage level. Really (Galway) - Posts: 623 - 02/07/2023 17:37:43 2491407 Link
Replying To Royal.Legend: "How did galway lose to that mayo team, they are absolutely awful against dublin." We were missing, Silke, Molloy,McHugh, Patrick Kelly, Comer off at half time and Sean played whilst injured. The poor game management against Armagh killed us.

Replying To Really: "Quick decision making - key for Dubs. Dublin always look for best positioned player. Galway and Mayo don't have this in their game. Has to be promoted at underage level." Part of the problem. I think the defensive system has been drilled in too hard; to the point the sideline had to roar at them to press up at the end of the first half against Mayo when it was clear Mayo were running down the clock waiting to have the wind advantage in the second half. The killer instinct has been drilled out of them.s festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3143 - 02/07/2023 17:46:23 2491415 Link

It's all good lads, they won the Salthill Cup ;-) ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1644 - 02/07/2023 18:59:27 2491472 Link
The Salthill Cup is a huge achievement, coupled with theLeague title its been one of Mayos most successful years since 1951. Imagine a county who thinks they are top tier with no win since the time of the Korean War. PancakeWard (Galway) - Posts: 86 - 02/07/2023 19:25:00 2491497 Link

They beat us 3 times this year, including League final and knockout prelim. quarter final. Tbh, just as well we didn't progress - although, I'd still go with Pj, and maybe look for mire funding from Co. Board. I think Shane will now give serious thought to transferring to Dublin - served enough with a limited team. He deserves an IC AI medal to go along with club medal.

Is there not even 1 Galway man worthy of a job on the Sunday Game" It is an interesting one. There are very few of the '98 to '01 group in any kind of punditry roles. Ray Silke did a bit, but maybe it just doesn't interest them. There are a lot of talking heads from certain counties. We do seem to be underrepresented.
