They are gone to ground ,if we happen to lose which is very possible they'll be back on saying they are right.

Tedious stuff

Replying To Marooned:  "Galway 3-14 Mayo 3-12

Last round of the minor round robin. A dead rubber as both teams meet in the semi-final on the May bank holiday weekend. Worryingly for Galway they had more or less their best team out while Mayo rested most of their first team. And Galway still barely beat them. Doesn't bode well for the semi-final but we'll see I suppose.

Galway storing up big problems at underage for the years ahead. Been a bleak few years at both U17 and U20."
I wouldn't read anything into it. Mayo were entitled to do whatever they want but from a Galway perspective it made no sense to rest players 2 weeks after a game and 2 weeks before a semi final. I can't see how a month off is going to help a 17 year old with form etc but as you say, we'll see.

Replying To galwayford:  "Hoping Galway can beat Rossies on Sunday. But is there an air of over confidence in the camp. P.Joyce needs to get a grip, or Galway will exit the championship."
How would you know whether there is an air of over confidence in the camp or not?
If we lose to Roscommon it will have nothing to do with over confidence.

Agree... that game will bring the lads on a lot last night...
I would say it was Mayo moreso giving the panel a run out rather than resting 16/ 17 year olds..
Makes no difference..

Hard not to read into it. As Marooned said when a full strength team struggles against a 2nd strength team it doesn't bode well for the semi final next week against a full strength Mayo but yeah we'll see.
