Ye I would say a good bit weaker than the Armagh bench. I think Armagh proved there strenght in depth this year. Galway probably have the stronger first 15 to be fair. As for the rest of your comment, you're clearly just trying to wind me up. Bdonegal1991 (Donegal) - Posts: 88 - 31/08/2024 21:19:05 2567819 Link 0 |
So the struggle if they have injuries but have great depth.....mmmmm, how does that work? You would wonder why they were playing supposedly not fully fit players wouldn't ye, or maybe theres a reason. Bdonegal1991 (Donegal) - Posts: 88 - 31/08/2024 21:23:53 2567822 Link 0 |
I was in at Pearse Stadium today. Maigh Cuillin were very strong, everyone happy to see Sean Kelly play, but he was struggling with his ankle and limping. With such a big lead- I can't understand why they played him when he clearly is not 100% Gearoid1998ffowaed (Galway) - Posts: 131 - 01/09/2024 00:34:17 2567833 Link 1 |
There's not a team out there who won't take a chance on their best players when it's an All Ireland quarter, semi or final itself. Come on now you're not that thick!

They played their best players but management made the mistake of not changing things when it wasn't working.Doesnt mean we don't have depth.Means it wasn't used properly.Totally different issue.

Home game for Salthill, maybe 50 supporters from one of the most populated clubs in Galway nails (Galway) - Posts: 21 - 01/09/2024 14:07:41 2567864 Link 0 |
Nobody but the absolute diehards going to football club games. And for this they gave us the split season, when we should now we looking forward to the GAA showpieces of the season, the AI finals. At least club hurling matches attract decent support.

Agree 100% and the country finals in both codes will still be played in late October or even November

I'd say no exaggeration that the club hurling attendances are at least 10-15 times higher than the football at the moment. There would be funerals with more life than some of these football games. Teams that know they can't score going out and putting 15 behind the ball, only to lose anyway. No one wants to see that.

Only reason HQ did this was to make money from concerts

Salthill and Corofin look ahead of the rest at the moment.. Belclare7 (Galway) - Posts: 109 - 01/09/2024 18:56:55 2567890 Link 0 |
I like the way the fixures are done, Winner v Winner, Loser v Loser. Everthing to play for in last Round. Avoid Plemenary and Avoid Relegation. ref (Galway) - Posts: 252 - 01/09/2024 19:43:23 2567898 Link 0 |

Yes, only that, and 90% of players preferring the split season, and club championship games getting played on far better pitches, but we'll go with concerts. Why do people think crowds would be far higher in October in colder conditions, than August and early September. The fact that hurling crowds are high, indicates the low football crowds have nothing to do with the split season. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2187 - 01/09/2024 20:20:36 2567902 Link 0 |
Point is that the county finals are still being played at the same time of year so pitches are going to be in a mess.And yes concerts are the reason HQ agreed I didn't say anything about players.

Caherlistrane, Oughterard, Monivea. 15 scores across 60+ minutes between Dunmore and James' is gouge your eyes out sort of stuff. Hopefully we get Corofin/Salthill/Moycullen in the final which at least would set up to be a game of football. People are voting with their feet and deciding not to attend a lot of games. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 790 - 01/09/2024 21:08:10 2567911 Link 0 |
