    Eye gouging should be a lifetime ban absolutely disgraceful

    The Derry player Gareth McKinless applied pressure to Sean Kellys eye and got sent off for it, usually those incidents are missed by officials. The ref match report will more or less decide on the length of the ban, he'll be lucky if its not a long one.

    Have you got a link on Sean Kelly "out for a while" or is that comment purely guess work?

    Hard to know if more should of been given a break. I know they're young but Tierney and the two Kelly's have a lot of football played between County and college.

    A stronger Galway line up than expected. Only John Daly,Cillan McDaid,Rob Finnerty rested. Obviously Comer and Conroy not playing because of injury and suspension.

    I presume Sean Kelly is a dummy starter after his eye injury?

    Daft putting out a dummy team for a game of so little importance......

    I hope so. It'd be bonkers to still be starting Tierney who has a lot of minutes on the clock already factoring in colleges.

    He's training so guessing he's fine. Still think a rest no harm for him.

    I doubt that team starts. It makes sense to give at least the Sigerson players a week off.

    Heaney goal. Daly points. About all worth talking as positives from a Galway point of view

    Interesting the likes of Niall burke, Sean blehene and Ja Mannion have been let go

    Burke left of his own accord supposedly … presumably didn’t think he was getting enough game time .

    Rumoured on the Ah Ref pod that Comer is injured, any truth in it?

    Damo named to start. Surprising.

    Shane drops out completely. Worrying.

    Paul Kelly not starting. Weird unless has a knock.

    Patrick Kelly back in the squad. Positive.

    Walsh was carrrying an injury for sure against Clare. He could barely run.

    I agree. He went down and came off early in the Clare match. However he did make the bench doing full warm up in the Derry game. Was named as a sub then removed against Roscommon and now doesn't make the squad. Seems to be going backwards rather than forwards.

    Joyce did say in the interview after last week's game that one of Walsh/Comer might make it but the other wouldn't. I assumed it'd be Comer who'd be out, especially with how dodgy hamstrings strains are and his history. So pleasantly surprised if he plays, as a back injury with Walsh sounds more manageable at least. Still wouldn't surprise me if that team is a dummy though. I'd be surprised if Paul Kelly doesn't start anyway

    Fairly beefed-up midfield and HF line. Robbing Peter to pay Paul by moving Sean Kelly out though, don't think that FB line is good enough v Mayo. HB line picking itself now. Paul Kelly's form has been patchy at times during the league and may come under pressure to start v Mayo. Aren't McLoughlin and McGrath slated to play for the U2os next week?

    Be interesting see how Daly goes Sunday. His performance in the Hyde kicking 5 points must've surprised management even as hadn't got a sniff in any of the league matches prior to that. Sean Kelly I'll surely go back to full back to pick up Smyth who likes to roam out the field as Molloy isn't a natural full back. Daly will probably go to midfield and Conroy to 11 with Walsh not available

    Wasn't able to go today so I'll settle for watching the TV coverage.


    Looks like ideal conditions for the match.

    Problem is most of players around him have been very quiet . Heaney has some ok maybe but from midfield up we need a lot more .

    Roscommon comfortably better than us. Now we're bringing in Walsh and running the risk of losing him for the Mayo game. We haven't improved one bit since last year and division 2 has been disguising the flaws.

    Is there any other "Tier one" county that consistently loses/makes Roscommon look better than Galway?.

    Kerry, Mayo, Dublin etc.. they'd all beat then 9/10 but Galway seem to have a habit of making them look better than they are. They'll be relegated again next year.

    I've seen enough from Joyce by now to know we're just wasting our time with him. Plenty of underage success and talent there and underachieving beyond belief under him. Should never have got a second year never mind a third.

    Doing ok but our back line very open. Kieran Molloy a mile off the pace of the game
