Can't for the life of me know why PJ brought in Mickey Graham and Galligan? They aren't the names you bring in if you are trying to win the Tailteann cup never mind Sam!!

Replying To galwayford:  "If P.Joyce is to be kept on as Manager, surely Galway county board should send him on a coaching course. Sometimes he does'nt seem to grasp the basics. Example he's on the sideline wearing a Dublin blue tracksuit."
Fair play to Joyce.A closet Dub fan lol.

Replying To Marooned:  "Some of the lesser lights did very well yesterday. Molloy and O'Laoi scored 0-5 between them. And O'Loai won a lot of breaking ball especially after half time. Where Sean Kelly was badly missed was I'm pretty sure he would have marked Scully and Scully wouldn't have had the same influence on the game with Kelly hounding him.

The problem was Galway only got 0-2 from Walsh, McDaid, Tierney and Comer. That won't cut it from a group of players of that quality."
I think I would have left McDaid out there. He has shown on numerous occasions what he can do when the tough get going...his display against Armagh in '22, AI final in '22, his 2nd half display against Dublin in '24 and his 2nd half display against Roscommon this year. Its difficult to replace his tenacity and experience. He had just scored and was unlucky with another. Many analysts thought that when he went off in the CF the tide turned in Roscommons favour. I believe he would have been vital in the final stretch yesterday..

I cannot see any scenario where the County Board make a move and ask Joyce to step aside.

Joyce himself indicated he's staying for another two years.

Maybe things/opinions will change in the coming weeks but it'll be more of the same for 2027.

The big backroom team, between them, have somehow failed to see that we have an issue between the posts. This team includes a specialist goalkeeping coach and former inter-county goalkeeper, who was recently an inter-county manager himself, and a former goalkeeping coach and goalkeeper, of this Parish, widely regarded as an expert in his field. How does that happen? That was the winning and losing of this game. And many games before it.
