Replying To TanCanRan: "Moycullen for me are similar to Man City. If they win, no one really cares because the wins are tainted because of all the transfer." Completely agree MOYCULLEN INC just look at their hurlers I dont see them having too many transfers in funny that when compare to the footballers and they are in a relegation final in senior

Replying To BigBàsMan: "Paul hoban is a better corner back than any of the lad that have fielded for Galway over the last 5-8 years. That fella grealish from gort should've been nowhere near the panel and the other fella from beagh Touhy. Hoban gave a motm display against bgunner last year with one hamstring until he eventually had to come off. Loughrea and bridge had a lot of bad blood over the years and it's obvious that has influenced his selections. Most of the lads from other clubs around the county say the same thing to me about other Loughrea players. Shocks (Darren) was in there and got no game time was only on extended panel and left. Loughrea will be gunning to beat cwell the next day. Morgan and Anthony burns back onto the fray also. Shocks injury not serious." Weird how the bad blood hasn't stopped Donohue picking Killeen in 99% of games since he got the job, even through 2025 when he was struggling. Or playing Hanrahan this year up until his injury. Or bringing Burns ino the panel. You also haven't answered my point that you were factually wrong in your original post about Hoban. I didn't realise Hemnry Shefflin and Shane O Neill had clarenbridge ties so strong it made them overlook such a superstar corner back
I'm sure Loughrea will be gunning to beat Cwell the next day, it would be very strange if they weren't, not sure what that has to do with the conversation. I hope they win the county as they are galway's best shot at the all ireland
Anecdotal stories like "Most of the lads from other clubs around the county say the same thing to me about other Loughrea players" can be thrown around very easily. Most people I speak to agree Loughrea are a savage team but their inter county representation is correct. As I've said before Morgan is the only one I think should see more time for Galway. Plenty people I met after the county final last year were of the opinion there was no obvious standout that should get he call up bar what was already there. Shaugnessy would have been one for me but not an automatic pick. I think the first half the last day probably showed why, getting on loads of ball but end product lacking. More performances like the second half against Athenry and He'll get his shot again.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "You can get 3/1 or 10/3 odds on Corofin, Salthill if you truly think either will beat Moycullen in the final." If I'm not mistaken Moycullen have to beat Annaghdown yet so saying they'll beat either Saltill or Corofin in the final might ne a little bit premature putting the cart before the horse comes to mind

I really do try to be positive (honestly) but this is pretty bad.
Form a Galway point of view, the only difference between winning 3 games and losing 3 games is one extra game before a leinster semi final. The first 3 games of the year are glorified challenge games with no jeopardy at all. For example, we could lose to KK, Dublin and Offaly, then beat Laois and be at the same stage as KK who won all their games.
Apparently there is a yo-yo 'Problem'. So the solution is to shuffle things upward and make Wexford and Offaly the yo-yo teams (Apologies wexford and offaly fans, just basing it on the most likely imo.)
A lot of momentum for this seems based off of kildare putting in a few decent performances this year. So the solution to their relegation is to make it next to impossible for them to ever get a game against Galway or Kilkenny- Or if they do it will be because they are at a very low ebb having been relegated.
What's basically happening is Leinster will be shrunk and Joe Mcdonagh has become 'group 2' and the now Joe mcdonagh is a 3 game semi final and final with no incentive to win the final.
it's pretty similar to the Leinster u20 the last few years which as a Galway supporter i barely watch until the semi final. You'll be there either way so what does it matter.
Meanwhile Munster counties will play 4 high quality games and hockey the living you know what out of the 3rd (and sometimes second) place leinster team. All the existing gaps are going to grow as a result of this. It's complete change for the sake of change
