Let them say it, it's better if they are blind to our other threats haha. We know how good they are, and they'll all get the national plaudits soon!

Of course it was nothing like an FBD game. Derry have improved a lot in the meantime all the same - championship is a different beast as we all know. 50-50 game no more than Armagh. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1241 - 29/06/2022 10:17:56 2428529 Link 0 |

Sure Colm O' Rourke used to call the Galway team of PJ and co fancy Dans until the fancy Dans gave Meath a footballing lesson in the 2001 All Ireland! Weak as water! Depends on the spring in the water! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1806 - 29/06/2022 10:29:04 2428539 Link 0 |

I absolutely cannot wait for this game. Two teams that have nothing to lose so I expect it to be hammer and tongs from the get go. tribesman123 (Galway) - Posts: 36 - 29/06/2022 10:31:06 2428540 Link 0 |

Correct. The narrative has always been if the three lads are stopped we are stopped. In one sense it is reassuring as we need them big time but shows others can lead if either/all of the three are somewhat held. Delighted for Tierney on Sunday as that game will provide huge confidence given he was quieter earlier in the championship. In terms of consistency McHugh, Silke, Heaney, McDaid and Finnerty have been unreal.

Ironically enough had Pádraig Joyce gotten his way and the game went to a replay, and we'd gone through I don't think we'd have had a hope of beating derry the following week, but as it is the enormity of the test they passed against armagh coupled with the extra week off will stand the lads in great stead.

I think Galway will win this match easy enough. I also believe they will go on to win the All Ireland. Both Dublin and Kerry seem very beatable this year. xxx (Mayo) - Posts: 1275 - 29/06/2022 10:43:47 2428548 Link 1 |

And of course if Derry make the final I hope to see them bridge the gap from 93 Tj73 (Galway) - Posts: 29 - 29/06/2022 11:32:44 2428567 Link 0 |

I actually was thinking it could also as easily go this way as well. When Galway lost possession against Armagh they had 15 men back some of the time while Armagh usually kept two up. There is the possibility this could end up like the Ulster final and disappoint us all. But I think Galway will counter with far more purpose than Donegal. Hopefully both teams will go hammer and tongs.

Ha ha ha. I wish I had half the confidence you have. I'll settle for a one point win over this fine Derry team.

narrative was the three most important platers comer, conroy, walsh, i dont think the narrative was as wrong as people would make you believe now after armagh game. tierney has beeen poor all year bar armagh game, finnerty had at the time played well against roscommon, only got 1point againt mayo, we are all experts now after the fact. obviousl they have more than 3 good players and its time for others to step up agai now agaisnt derry as the 3 players mentioned are so closely looked at, marked. up galway cavan.galway (Galway) - Posts: 185 - 30/06/2022 11:38:03 2428779 Link 0 |

He's talking about that the narrative that if the 3 lads don't perform very well, that we don't have chance. We know they're probably our most important players, but even if they don't play well, we do have plenty quality throughout the team. We're not without hope even if all 3 are held to some degree.

Armagh didn't stop those 3 though. They weren't able to . They tried hard to . Walsh scored some superb points off both feet and also created scores for others and scored a penalty. He made one crucial mistake, that was all. Comer and Conroy also contributed well.

ITs hard to know one thing for sure Galway wont be afraid to try to attack The Question mark about Derry is this What have they beaten Donegal were shocking in Ulster final showed no ambition to go and win that game They hand passed the ball back and over withouth ever trying to breach the Derry defence Murphy and mc brearty seem to be on the wane legs are gone id say Brendan Rodgers scored 3 points and set up another3 Murphy coundnt even keep up with him He will be well kept busy next day if he has to deal with Comer a man in his peak years Chrissy Mc Kaigue has been lauded for his man marking jobs so far But how hard was that against Monaghan and Donegal who do their their best to not put ball into their forwards Shane Walsh will give Chrissy plenty to do and keep him busy Derry also beat Monaghan a really poor team now again play this back and over hand passing game They then walloped Clare who really were a little naive and were easy prey So i would say Derry havent met or beaten a team like Galway yet Galway will present a diff challenge to what they have met allready rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 02/07/2022 13:29:01 2429176 Link 1 |

Derry in all their games force the opposition to play on their terms which usually involves an early goal or two and then they counter with manic intensity v much like donegal 2012. Monaghan were v poor against them in first half but pushed up more in second half causing them problems however damage was done and Derry were superb picking us off at will whenever we got anyway near. Gallagher will go for jugular here early try and establish a lead and strike on counter. Galway well capable of starting well and dominating midfield but are weak at back. Am sure Joyce will try and shore that up. Think Galway do have more in attack than teams Derry have faced so far but Derry look best drilled side left in competition and for that reason you'd back them to make final.

In fairness I think Monaghan are better than credited but the 1st half as Seanie noted was where the damage was done in the Derry Monaghan match. It appears to me Derry are getting a lot more positive reviews (maybe their quick progress from Div 4 is guiding this) than us. I am hoping we pick up from the last day as certainly we have the players across the squad to manage whatever Derry throw at us but we have to game manage the match better if we get into a winning position.
