Listened to the post match interview on galway bay 8 under 19s played for Killannin on Saturday. Nothing like a relegation battle to put hair on their chest. They obviously didnt want to be there but those games will stand to those lads more than an appearance in a quarter final. Their U19 team hopefully can bring that experience to the final. galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1704 - 07/11/2023 11:52:21 2511892 Link 0 |
I think you are right but can't remember was it under 20 or minor.He also coached in Salthill so huge amount if experience for sure.

Sometimes a player can be excellent at one level and just not able to make the jump to the next. Smart enough to identify defenders the are faster than and exploit. But maybe that opportunity doesn't exist at the higher level. Other players, maybe not be as consistent at club level may have something that works at higher level. Dessie C and Eoin Finnerty seem to struggle at higher level. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1894 - 07/11/2023 12:08:18 2511900 Link 0 |
Fairly sure he was. The Corofin jobs holds a lot of weight though as we saw with Rochford, wouldn't be a hue surprise if Sligo come knocking but then again this could be PJ's last year. TheBishop (Galway) - Posts: 287 - 07/11/2023 12:09:06 2511901 Link 0 |
I was told Johnson lives 'near Knockdoe'. Not sure where exactly so he could be living in Corofin, Claregalway or Annaghdown territory based off that. Does anybody know? GalwaysFinest (Galway) - Posts: 191 - 07/11/2023 13:14:20 2511917 Link 0 |
There's a fair chance McLaughlin won't be around if he gets the call for Australia. Don't think Gill is county standard. Kelly is an outstanding free taker but is that needed if he is never going to take frees ahead of Walsh, Cooke, Tierney or even Finnerty? I think you will see a lot of last years squad with Silke, Mulkerrin and Molloy back and then Cillian O Curraoin and Sam O'Neill added when fit. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 806 - 07/11/2023 14:01:43 2511935 Link 0 |

I think Rory Cunningham definitely need get a fair chance top scorer intermediate this year also Mairtin Quinn outside of Liam silke prob best man marker in Galway players like thst need be given a chance but unfortunately if past history is anything to go on management prefer bring in most of Moycullen. Salthill and Mountbellew lads ..

Unfortunately from what I am hearing we need not to worry about McLaughlin going to Australia they were supposedly disappointed with him his 2km time trial was over 7 minutes.

There was an excellent post further back on this thread highlighting lads who had put their hands up and it mentioned lads like Nathan Grainger, Tony Gill, Patrick Egan, Sam O'Neill, Jack Kirrane and a few more. You'd think all of those would be in with a shout of a panel and if Sam O'Neill is fit, he would be close to the team. He was brilliant until he got hurt. crankyincorofin (Galway) - Posts: 98 - 07/11/2023 15:48:30 2511964 Link 0 |
Didn't he have a hit with that song 'Rock and Roll I gave you' some years back? Could be living in Memphis?

I think some posters need to stop and think before posting .. A few guidelines that we should all try to adhere too. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 960 - 07/11/2023 15:57:35 2511966 Link 6 |
I think its back to 1 up 1 down as we have reached the magic number of 16 which I totally agree with. 4 groups of 4. I do hope though its top 2 from each group in to quaters with 3rd in group safe & than bottom of each group in a relegation battle. I dont agree with 3rd of group of 4 getting into Pre QF.

Players from a bad Brendan's team at intermediate is not the solution to Galway's issues.

So unless u play senior ur no good just as David Clifford not in Galway he never get picked ,, Rory Cunningham definitely best forward in intermediate football by a mile , and Mairtin Quinn definitely best defender so is it there fault st Brendans are intermediate maybe if they moved to Mountbellew they could be brought in with the other 8 from Mountbellew I'm sure Moycullen would take them ,,

That was me and if you go even further back the thread I highlighted Egan after seeing him partner with Sam O'Neill at U20 level in Tuam for Galway. I think my exact comment was that he looked like a baller and was nearly the Corofin prototype in that he did all the basics almost perfectly. O'Neill is different in that he's an athlete and gets up and won the pitch. Only found out lately that he's a grandson of Billy O'Neill who won an All Ireland with Galway in 1956 alongside Purcell and Stockwell and also hurled for Galway, definitely has the athletic pedigree so. I still think there's inter county potential in Liam Costello also and recently I would add Gavin Burke. Grainger has been good this year every day out. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 443 - 07/11/2023 17:57:57 2511992 Link 0 |
