Yes Brisbane his younger sister is part of the physio team but this has been led by the same Chartered physio since 1999. You are correct Mick Byrne was involved in 98 but was more a glorified Sports Therapist who looked after Dublin based players. He did not lead the physio team but because of his personality became more involved with the team as the year progressed . Again don't worry about a few facts getting in the way guys SidelineKick (Galway) - Posts: 6 - 01/02/2024 17:09:24 2523720 Link 0 |

not sure if you're being facetious but that's an embarrassing comment if you actually think that way

Thanks for the post. Is your suggestion that the players are overworked with good reason to stand to them later in the year or that you (and others) personally believe they've been overworked in general and the S&C programme needs to change?

Facts ? you are the new account spinning things. The physio working alongside Joyces sister is not in place since 99 Aofaine left and came back on board for the 2015 season. Both do not work for the same company

It seems that rumours of Shane's demise are greatly exaggerated. It's quite possible PJ is adopting a team performance peaking strategy for the business-end of the season. After all, he and the management team are in last chance saloon/departures lounge/dead man walking territory. No benefit to him if he works to retain Div. 1 status and then limps out of champo in July. So, this might explain the anaemic performances to date. If this is the case, then maybe, supporters should be advised as to when to start attending games. This would give them a chance to squirrel away savings for the multiple trips to Dublin in July.

Just looking at the list of forwards Thars posted none of them woukd make the Roscommon forward line not a hope I've being saying it for years it's a pure myth that Galway have a good forward line yes they have 2 good forwards when fit Walsh and comer Thars it 10 points last Sunday cat until I see a galway forward line scoring between the 6 of them 1-10 and then hoping midfielder snd wing backs chip in with 3-4 points i think unless we play forwards in forwards unfortunately we will get same results as last Sunday snd if Galway go out with same team v Ross it be another hammering,,

So we're all ill informed and they are just overtrained. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 429 - 01/02/2024 20:14:13 2523748 Link 2 |
Conroy and O'Curraoin could be in from start the next day, team probably unchanged otherwise. Might be a couple newcomers onto subs bench who didn't make match day squad vs Mayo. gaillimhboy (Galway) - Posts: 352 - 01/02/2024 20:19:37 2523750 Link 0 |
What your saying is.....if Shane was playing there would be a point in going to the Hyde and we wouldn't be handing the 2 points to Roscommon! So basically win with Shane playing or lose with Shane not playing! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2420 - 01/02/2024 21:00:29 2523756 Link 1 |

My suggestion about being ill informed was in relation to the original poster and others suggesting Shane Walsh was going to be a long term injury absentee which is in correct and also regarding the make up of the S&C and Physio personnel. I didn't actually draw any link between overtraining and player performance v Mayo, my opinion was that overtraining was leading to the laundry list of injuries. If you actually took the time to read the thread and absorbed the content you may have better understood and then been better informed when posting a response. So I'll informed...yes I guess you are. I do agree that there were some reasonable performances the last day and of course some errors but these would and will happen regardless of fitness level or training load or whether we were winning or losing. You cannot draw a direct link between those selective areas and what's happening on and off the training pitch over the last 4 months. That's a very narrow view and one of someone who I fear wouldn't know if a football was pumped or stuffed. SidelineKick (Galway) - Posts: 6 - 01/02/2024 22:07:28 2523763 Link 1 |
Looked as if Shane tweaked something kicking the last free (or was it a 45) that he pointed near the end of the game. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1272 - 01/02/2024 22:21:24 2523767 Link 0 |
You didn't include Shane Walsh in your team due to an unconfirmed season ending injury yet you included James McLoughlin who it has been confirmed will be away until May at least.

I referenced other games where we have taken beatings. I was at those games and I was present Sunday when we were beaten by 8 points and should have been beaten by more. What I know about football and who you've spoken too and claim to know about fitness and conditioning doesn't change any of that. If the footballs were indeed stuffed, I don't think our % of our own kick outs won would be any worse. But looking at how many kick outs we retain is probably too selective. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 429 - 01/02/2024 22:37:55 2523771 Link 0 |

What division 2 counties would most of those lads not get on? Mayo have Conroy and O'Donoghue who are decent. But not of the quality of Walsh or Comer on their day. Rob Finnerty I would have on the same level of Conroy and O'Donoghue. Derry have one consistent scoring forward - Shane McGuigan. Ethan Doherty is a very good half forward but not exactly a proper assassin top quality scorer. Darragh Canavan is coming good for Tyrone, granted - so him and McCurry. McCurry was their most consistent forward in 2021 when they won Sam though. Ruari is unproven although showing signs. Jack McCarron never plays well in championship matches against top counties. A very good league forward and excellent against the likes of Carlow or Wexford, but not Dublin or Galway in the championship. Those lads from Galway I have named would get much more game time in Roscommon than they do in Galway, if not be regular starters - to reply to another poster who compared them to Roscommon's forward line.
