Should have played that short to someone in a better position

Shocking from La Hiff

Panicked and just booted the ball. Con was clearly pushed as he was shooting that last one that went wide but they only get given at the other end.

We're all disappointed but give over the keyboard warrior crap.

Better team won ,we can have no complaints ,signs have been there for awhile .Was a bit concerned with the The three lads starting ,we had nothing on the bench and it showed when the inevitable changes late on .

Well done to Galway. They were the better team in the second half and deserved the win. I'd love to see th go on to win it now.

Losing the two defenders cost us this year we ended up having to put make shift players into positions there not meant for. Relying on players that are squad members at best to start and finish games. Where **** was McGinnis? Or O Gara ?

Really came home to roost how we haven't been able to bring through a few players so ended up with lads nowhere near good enough in matches like today when something was needed.

Exactly. The decent players who where coming through either were not given time or where injured. We where shown up massively. That game was there to be won. Very comfortable going into the half.

Looks like a clear push in the back to me. Never going to get it though.

There was plenty of moments that went against us in this game. I was **** screaming it don't know how many times that they got things in the game we never would of. But when u look at second half we just weren't good enough. We should won but the lads we had going into the last 15 mins weren't good enough.

Can't remember the last time ye scored four points in a second half of a high stakes match that ye were winning at HT?

Good point re bench. Plus it was pointed out to me that Galway shut down Fenton.

Beating us in CP and the Saw Doctors belting out the hits in Fairview Park. Gonna be some night for the Tribesmen.

watching that back, disappointing on two levels….

1. A fair challenge for the ball from Bugler that resulted in a free being awarded to Galway. Never a foul, or push , soft as fúck. Galway lad leans into Bugler chooses to go to ground on feeling contact through being fairly challenged for the ball. It’s a contact sport.
2. when he goes to ground the Dublin player again attempting to dispossess, fairly but Galway lad grabs his head indicating he’d been struck at worst or at best some inadvertent contact with his head. There was none, neither scenario,

Some call it gamesmanship, to me it’s just cheating.

It’s not like Hurson doesn’t have form for significant controversy….

^ leaning into Bugler and falling over…. There is no push, no dragging yet the self propelled momentum is to the floor… Hurson falls for it, gladly without hesitation awards the free.
