I never one blew any triumphant about Mayo in our conversation.. I merely pointed out that Kildare are in no position to mock Mayo football. It's time you accept your position as a Div 2 team ,just like Mayo fans have accepted that they are no longer a top 4 team atm. Vish (USA) - Posts: 93 - 09/07/2022 21:49:46 2430917 Link 0 |
Well done Galway , the better team by a mile , Derry were awful , playing like robots , Gallagher style, Yes they won Ulster and fair play for that , but at this stage of the C ship , players need to be playing off the cuff, a bit more of lets go for it , but not Derry sticking to the robotic plan , anyway tomorrows game should be way better, germac (Down) - Posts: 557 - 09/07/2022 21:51:37 2430918 Link 5 |
You seem obsessed about Kildare's status, we're in Division 2 next year as are Dublin. I have no problem with accepting where we are atm, I'm not the one who came on here to belittle another county. It's your unfounded arrogance, that's based on nothing that tripped you up

Go argue with Meath fans , that's your level, Leave the hard hitting "reality talk" to the big teams who are feasting at the top table. Oiche mhaith . Vish (USA) - Posts: 93 - 09/07/2022 22:01:44 2430923 Link 1 |
Some of their counties, probably most have amongst the best fans in the country, best supported teams don't always go down well within all sports, huge crowds this year. It doesn't matter at the All Ireland Final stage but the GAA will be delighted with the crowds they brought, especially post pandemic and I'm Galway enjoyed the two huge Croke Park occasions they were part of. The GAA need them, especially for a few years whilst they try and balance the books.

Yes Crúiscín Lán, Alan is a gentleman and someone who has done great work to help the poor in Africa. Glad to hear you saying that we're one in Galway. Comer is a handy hurler too as is Dáithí a great footballer. We're lucky to have them!

Padraig Joyce said there's a sign in the dressing room that says "Find a way". In fairness to Mayo, they always found a way. Switching goalkeepers, own goals or just plain bottling it like last year. StopTheLights (Galway) - Posts: 387 - 10/07/2022 08:31:16 2430938 Link 0 |
Feasting, the only thing that you're feasting on is very sour grapes

Pádraig Joyce is a true sportsman and would never speak in such derogatory terms about our neighbours and a great footballing county. Shame on you!

Oh a Visheen! Why don't you go and get yourself a nice bageen of emeralds and sit on your bench in belmullet and take a little time off Hogan Stand? It'll do you the world of good. Ye have had a tremendous run with Mayo for years and enjoy it for all the good times it brought. Trying to belittle what Galway have achieved in the past and have done so far this year seems, well, a little bitter and a bit pathetic. You won't see Pericles or Yew Tree saying stuff like that. This year, in a match that both teams were known full well to be absolutely desperate to win, we came to ye in Castlebar and beat ye fair and square - no doubt in the result. We did the same in Pearse to a very good Roscommon team with a forward unit that's ahead of Mayo's. Granted Leitrim was not any real test in between. Armagh are a bona fide top tier outfit and on the rise, we took them too and in an epic - albeit error strewn at the end. Derry are Ulster champions, let's not forget that, and they shot the lights out against a very good and massively underrated Clare team, yet we held them to 6 points for 71 minutes yesterday- ahead of their injury time consolation goal. Granted, Kerry or Dublin will be expected to destroy us in the final and nobody will give us a snowballs of a chance but we don't care and we'll rock up there and just throw it all at them. Anything could happen and that's the beauty of this great game and of Championship. Gaillimh Abú. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 980 - 10/07/2022 09:29:56 2430951 Link 6 |

I have just read an article in the Examiner,an interview with Rory Gallagher about the match yesterday.Did I take it up correctly that the ref asked Derry management if they were happy to have Shane Walshs score reinstated.He said they were but what would have happened if they had said they weren't?Just curious as I didn't think that either management would have a say whether it would reinstated only the officials.

Sure look if you'd listen to people all week, you'd have heard Derry have been basically living full time in Owenbeg, their team was "set up" for Croke Park, Conor Glass is the best midfielder (McDaid put that right) in Ireland and their "phenomenal" fitness meant Galway would not live with them. ahsure.

Woke up this morning and just realised I don't have to go begging for tickets, asking for favours or praying my name would come out in the club draw. The season ticket has just paid for itself. GDL (Galway) - Posts: 774 - 10/07/2022 10:12:29 2430963 Link 2 |

Derry were oversold alright. Worthy Ulster champions but never likely to win the All Ireland this year. No reason though why they can't improve and come back stronger next year.There's a very solid base to build on.
