Well i'm not an expert sammy but i know i have belief in this team, it is with these guys we have the biggest chance of winning an all ireland with a bit of hardwork, confidence, experience and a decent bench. The only thing i agree with you on is that Cullinane is not our answer hense the An-Other i have in midfield. Maybe your club Na Breathna can give us the answer to the midfield problem??

What club is that Galway Fan???? The only midfielder I liked this year was O'Brien from Carraroe, Roasted Cullinnane on numerous occasions!! But then again , did he even get a chance on the Under 21, As far as I know The Breathna has a problem at midfield themselves!!! What about your own Club???? Any thing stirring there??? Or are yee seinor at all??

As you well know Sammy at the start of this season your posts were fully pro na breathna and nothing else, no other club existed in conamara are far as you were concernd, best club in conamara, giving an spiddal lads stupid, ignorant comments after them beating na breathna fairly in the comortas, all that nonsence. Plus i've chatted to a good few of na breathna players over the summer and a few of them have a certain idea of who you are and are ashamed of you having any part in their club.

To answer your last question and to show how imature you really are - you don't have to be from a senior club to be a county player, ie fiachra breatnach, paul conroy, matty clancy, bradshaw&clancy(last year), coyne, collerans(when they were in spiddal) eddie hoare, gottche.
do you think that because these guys are not from a senior club that they don't have the same entitlement as you being from a senior club!!

As you can see in previous posts i praise O'Brien highly but i also think as he is only 19 that senior intercounty is a bit to soon for him, maybe in two years time.

John Keaveney glenamaddy's full back couuld be worth a mention for corner back position. Exceptionally tight marker, was full back for co. minors 3 years ago. Conssistently excellent for his club this year and last year. He missed intermediate semi final due to ilness i think. Im only throwing names out there so dont tear it to pieces.

REPLY glencoosan


Will i throw in the "B" team so will i?? Average age of that team is 24- 25 or so and ran kerry close and will improve next year with experience and you tell me to change the team more than i have. go back to bed will ya.

Galway fan, no need to tell me to go back to bed, simply giving my opinion on the team you posted. You are probably right in that there are the best thats available, i just dont think they will do any better than they did this year. Also i wouldnt put much store in the they will improve next year with experience theory. Apart from Conroy, Bradshaw and flaherty the bulk of that team have been around the block for a while now.

Brendan Bowens- a ridiculous team.

Firstly am a big Galway fan am not saying this to insult ye. Brilliantly talented natural footballers all over the field. Not enough though. Ye have to start to make yerselves difficult to beat. Get the numbers back and make it hard to shoot and score. When Declan O Sullivan soloes down the field towards goal he gets hit . There is nothing wrong with tackling in numbers. No point in playin the beautiful game and losin boys!

Whats so ridiculous about the two panels i posted?

Brendan Bowens (Galway) - Posts: 164 - 24/10/2008 13:30:30    125854

1) M. Comer and Damien Burke, not good enough. Fitzy is miles ahead (granted hes not spectacular!).
2) Eoin Concannon! Whats that about? He hasnt played well since u'16!!
3) Niall Coleman last sub on the B Panel? Now we know youre having a laugh!
4) Cormac Bane?
5) Why replace Doherty in goal? Especially with a man who isnt fantastic and hasnt played in 2 years.
6) P. O Faherta?? Whats he doing there?
7) What did Coyne and Blake do on ya?
8) Dunleavys good but weve better!

Whats your first 15 so?

Brendan Bowens (Galway) - Posts: 164 - 24/10/2008 16:00:08    126058

Doherty
Fitz
Hanley
Coyne
D. Meehan
Bradshaw (This I'll agree on!)
Blake/Mullaghy
Bergin
Hoare (Possibly Cullinane)
A.N. Other of Conroy, M. Clancy, Coleman or Armstrong (depending on form)
P Joyce
N. Joyce
Bane
M. Meehan
M. Martin

I'm aware Blake would be better in the centre but I see Bradshaw as the long term holder of the no. 6 shirt. I'd also be willing to experiment with Bergin or Hoare in at 14.

brendan bowens you clearly know nothing about galway football and milky niall coleman doesn't deserve to be near the C panel never mind the B

Galwayfan, You are talking nonsense as usual..You have no idea who I am! Nor does any other player from Brathna or anywhere else! Not that I would care anyway! And all those so called great non seinor players you just named...What have they won? Dont be writing big long posts, full of rubbish good man! The recession is bad enough, without having to be listening to people like you!!! Give us a break!

SAMMYTHEBULL (Galway) - Posts: 1646 - 24/10/2008 22:45:33    126285

And Galway fan...Please leave out the CLancys...They played seinor for their clubs!!! You can say what you want about the Collerans, Hoares, Breathnach, Coynes...Will be a long time waiting for that lot to win anything!!!And also please dont be going around pretending you have some kind of inside information on what Breathna players...From what Ive heard of the Breathna lads, they are not little old women that go around talking behind peoples backs to eejits like you! If they wanted to say anything to a supporter or anyone else, they would say it personally, so please dont be insulting the lads!
Now go and talk to someone from your own LITTLE club, and dont be annoying me or sending in untruthful remarks about knowing who I am or where I am from!!
