Mod Note Post #1 - The 2022 All Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Yeah I would agree with ya was at it . 3 mins in long ball to Murphy - bang goal. Game over.

The two goals Donegal got gave them a cushion and Mayo had too much to do to get back.

I honestly hope Galway get hammered tomorrow.

All this nonsense of supporting your neighbours because of provincial ties is just that, nonsense.

Clifford will be in for some heavy hits early on as will Walsh.

Hope its over at halftime.

You can swing that meltdown point both ways. Which would you prefer, to completely dominate every game in the third quarter and have a mini meltdown at the end and still win, or to win a tit for tat 50/50 games?

The few mins of nervousness against Mayo and the lack of concentration against Roscommon were irrelevant in the end, and especially in Ros case they were consolation scores. An utter collapse against Armagh alright but extra time there was probably the making of this team.

Nobody in their right mind came out of any Galway game this year not saying Galway were easily the better team. I'd far rather that situation while also having some idiotic things to clean up, rather than winning games we didn't deserve or could've gone either way

TBF at least 16 of them were soft.

Just heard an interesting stat on OTB! The Galway bench has only contributed 1 point in the last 3 games, even with Dara Moynihan missing, it's a big advantage to kerry

Padraic didn't need them, it was at the back we had problems. Subs are there to introduce pace and stamina nowadays and generally fit into a system.

as a fellow galway man that’s a stupid comment .there’s no doubt Kerry’s bench is stronger .

True enough. Imagine, the supporters of the two counties involved in the final getting to go to it ahead of neutral observers. What a crazy notion. Not sure what I was thinking.

Im long enough going to them to know that there isnt much worse than some fella plonked nearby who isnt from either county. They are only taking someone elses place who would love attend. As far as Im concerned, let the fans of the counties involved go to the game.

I'd question the judgement of anyone stating an easy win for Kerry. It's 50/50 game for me. Galways defensive style will frustrate Kerry and it will be interesting to see how they cope with that.

Hoping for, but not expecting, an entertaining match.

Agreed. Galway really need to get back the dozen or so talented players who should be on the panel but aren't for one reason or another. Peter Cooke, Michael Daly, Adrian Varley etc, even Ian Burke although he may be a lost cause at this point. Those along with the injured lads Mulkerrin and McLaughlin would give a real solid look to the 26 and huge competition. You'd hope the bit of momentum this year might entice a few back in

The one sub (along with O'Laoi tbf) who's would add hugely is Paul Kelly. He should be starting imo but has fallen out of favour it looks like

You need to read my posts not once but twice I explained to you that I said -

1) I predicted Kerry would beat Dublin

2) Kerry better team deserved it on the day.

3) Dublin put up a good fight - didn’t fold so can’t complain etc

This is third time I have asked you to read posts. And not put words in my mouth which were never said. That’s odd behaviour.

If you find where I said otherwise I will donate a tenner to a charity of your choice. I am deadly serious!

Now I am not sure what the literacy levels are in Mayo. But you repeating something I never said does not make you sound smart, you just sound a little silly to put it kindly.

Plus why can’t you be happy for Galway? The real irony is most Galway football supporters wouldn’t do a tenth of the whining you alone do! You spend ages trying to justify Mayo compared to Galway. It is odd.

Hoping for a competetive and exciting game tomorrow. I think when all is said and done Kerry will win by 6 or 7 points. I'll be shouting for Galway to upset the odds, though.

Galway beat Kerry in their last championship meeting in Croke Park (2018 super 8 game)

Much change team now but Galway have a better starting 15 now?
