Galway GAA Discussion Thread #2

From what I heard it was more by accident than design that this came about. County Board had very little to do with it.

Look at the performances in the championship that's all the evidence you need. League means F all in the grand scheme of things, a lot of shadow boxing going on there, Limerick didn't set the world alight in the league, yet were head and shoulders above everyone else in the championship. Losing to Dublin was poor enough, but, to follow that up with such a poor first half performance against Waterford really does show that there was a problem with the attitude and mental approach within the squad, team selection and tactics were also contributing factors, but, the minimum required is having the right attitude, if you don't have that all the tactics or ability in the world won't matter.

You wouldn’t know its county final weekend around here! Don’t know about the the rest of ye but the update to this site has put me right off it, takes so long to load and so much more awkward to find anything. I think corofin will have too much for MM at the weekend, they’ve been building steadily through the championship and have won all their games impressively but only in 3rd gear at most. No Gary Sice this year so far. It Dylan Canney is filling his boots well so far along with Darragh Silke, Dylan Wall is playing well and having Daithi Burke solely focused on football at the minute is a huge advantage. MM have been scoring goals this year but no doubt this will have been identified by the corofin backroom team. Should be a good game hopefully but I think Corofin will win it with the beating they got last year fresh in the minds.

Prime example of how not to do a migration. I imagine the user base has been absolutely gutted. A pity, because there was interesting discussion to be had on the thread, fairly informative too at times.

Mountbellew beat Moycullen in the semi-final of the football.

In the hurling Gort are playing St Thomas' in the semi-final with Clarinbridge awaiting the winners of that in the final.

Great performance by mountbellew. Play lovely football and corofin had no answer for mb power and pace

Delighted for Mountbellew/Moylough on their victory today. They were becoming the "Mayo" of Galway Football having lost 4 finals in 6 years albeit to the best team in the country on 3 occasions. And last year having finally defeated Corofin in the semi then losing out to Moycullen in the final. Heartbreak!

They finally have their day.

I'm a bit suprised the hurling final isn't on TG4, does the county get any money if you pay for a stream or where does it go?

Congrats to Thomas’. Clarinbridge physically have a way to go. Weather was decent today but it’s a pity the county final is played on a heavy pitch. A December county final isn’t right.

Injuries have taken its toll … wouldn’t have been able for inter county demands .

Very little sympathy here and amazed you never mentioned the abuse of the referee at the end. I was at the game, they played well for 15 minutes (last 5 minutes of the first half and first 10 of the second, when Pearses were down to 14) scored 5 of their 7 points then and we’re aided by a fortunate goal. Better team won.

Some lengthy bans on the way for some of the Mountbellew lads. No justification for their behaviour.

If the refs performance is reviewed I doubt we’ll see him ever ref at this level again. He was piss poor.

Peter Cooke unavailable for the footballers in 2022. He's away abroad again.

A big loss as he was just getting back into good form again in the latter half of the club championship after being abroad in 2020. Midfield options looking a little thin now so presume we'll have to see a couple new faces in there.

Logged back on here for the first time in many a year. I originally started this forum in June 2009!!

Looking forward to 2022, has anyone bought the Season ticket yet?

Any word of any new faces in for the FBD?
