Replying To eoinog: "Would you not consider it a step backwards to include both Comer and Walsh in the first 15 when they haven't been consistently fit for an awful long time. Should they be treated more of a bonus rather than build a team plan around them ?" Sligo supporter, says it all their ColmFlaherty (Galway) - Posts: 7 - 26/04/2026 18:10:25 2668885 Link
Replying To anotheralias: "Am i he only one who thought the penalry was very soft and definitely not a black card. The leitrim player barged in and it was a collision of bodies which arguably was a penalty but how the ref have seen that as a deliberate drag down?" It was a very harsh black card. Flaherty came out and stood his ground. Not much else he could have done except get out of the way and let McLoughlin through for an open goal. McLoughlin ran into him, rather than Flaherty taking him down. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2771 - 26/04/2026 18:39:27 2668900 Link

Replying To eoinog: "Would you not consider it a step backwards to include both Comer and Walsh in the first 15 when they haven't been consistently fit for an awful long time. Should they be treated more of a bonus rather than build a team plan around them ?" Walsh has missed like 2 championship games in the last 5 years. Not sure how it can be said he hasn't been consistently fit. Anyone who watched the game yesterday and how lively he looked would say it's absolute madness not to play him Comer is a different story and it'd be a big surprise if he started but he'll likely come on. But again, not sure starting a player that good if it comes to it later in the year could be considered a step backwards. He came on as a sub twice last year under these new rules and caused havoc both times PressureKick (UK) - Posts: 365 - 26/04/2026 20:53:13 2668968 Link
Thoughts on yesterday Black card and penalty was incredible harsh. Could have been a free out for charging directly at Flaherty. Saying that, we were asleep for the rebound off the post. For the rebound off the penalty, we left the guy that scored unmarked. Asleep again. Gleeson nearly cost us with those crazy kick outs. Ridiculous. Shane was flying when he came on. Looked to have slimmed down a bit and showed pace I thought he might have lost. Sean Kelly was moving well when he came on. We were sloppy overall. Lacked concentration. No harm to go to a Connacht final like that. There'll be no over confidence on our side. Rossies we're good today. They couldn't miss. They have those type of forwards that can rip you apart on their day. Saying that, Mayo looked terrible. So much space for the Rossies.

The All Ireland final from 2 years ago springs to mind. He is an exceptional talent and a joy to watch when he is fully fit. I would love to see him starting but there's doubts in my mind if he has the legs for it anymore. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2393 - 26/04/2026 21:24:49 2668984 Link
Replying To endgame: "Paddy Power have Galway as favourites for the Connacht Final. 8/13 on." Paddy Power mustn't have factored on Fortress The Hyde in that price. Ye're way overdue v Galway at the Hyde. 1990, I think. On that law of averages, Ros time must be now. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4680 - 26/04/2026 21:42:28 2668992 Link

You know when you're going to play Roscommon you have to be ready for war. Galway players have to be ready to dive on every loose ball and put their head where others wouldn't put their feet. Because you know the Rossies will. Galway are forewarned in fairness. Despite what the bookies say I think a lot of people will be tipping Roscommon to win the final now. Especially if they get Cregg back. I expect Brian Stack will be back for them as well. No harm Galway coming in off a poorish performance and being written off somewhat. My biggest concern is the injuries as ever. What is the condition of Tierney, Glynn, Hernon? Johnny McGrath was taken off after getting a knee into his ribs. Sounds like he'll be touch and go as well. Would be a tough ask without those four. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2531 - 26/04/2026 23:36:26 2669027 Link
