    nerves kicking in a bit … god knows what it’s like for players and management . Honestly think we are a slightly better team then Armagh but all Ireland final day and anything can happen . Looks like we will have a full hand to pick from bar hernon but still huge question marks over Kelly and slightly smaller ones over comer and Walsh . We will need a lot more out of comer and Walsh then we got in semi final to get over the line I think. Anyway enjoy the rest of build up and roll on Sunday !

    Anything can turn a tight contest.. A black card.. A sending off.. A soft goal.. A game ending injury, if were within a point or 2 either way goin into the final quarter I'll be hoping we make it

    Is that confirmed? I only see a GalwayBeo article and those spoofers are best ignored.

    Would hurling enthusiastic people in Galway show any emotion ahead of sunday. You sometimes forget joyce and Canning are from the one county, two all time greats.

    yes we will. Allot of the hurling fraternity wouldn't go the match but will watch. Big support for football in the city, connemara, north and east galway which wouldn't be hurling stronghold.

    There wouldn't as huge a divide as there was imo. I wouldn't know anybody from hurling strongholds that wouldn't be on the hunt for tickets for Sunday.

    How fit are Shane Walsh, Kelly & Finnerty do we think?

    Neutral here but will be shouting for Galway.

    Good luck on Sunday, while I wouldn't mind seeing either team win I'd prefer for Sam to cross the Shannon. I hope Comer in particular has a good game, he's a class player

    well done to the camogie ladies . To have the senior men’s football ladies football and camogie in 3 all Ireland finals in croker next 3 Sundays is no mean achievement . A lot of counties would kill for it . Hopefully tomo will be a great day .

    Not the place for it I know but just extremely annoyed today looking for a second Hill ticket so can try and bring my son tomorrow.

    He wants to go to every game and we try and get to plenty. But him hearing of others going who would never attend a match getting to go is such shite.

    1st world problem I know, but still.

    Wonder will there be big numbers in Pearse Stadium tomorrow, or will Eyre square be the place most will go?

    Safe travels lads. I'm fierce nervous and I think if we don't up the ante from the semi-final we'll lose. We have the players and we have the bench though. God knows Gleeson will be tested with long ball again and he needs the fullback-line to protect him. They'll also push up on the kickouts again but we have the midfield to trust with long-ball rather than risking getting caught on the press again.

    Hoping for a huge showing from Comer, Walsh and Tierney. They all have the potential to swing this in our favour.

    It's always been the same regarding tickets, particularly bringing young kids. Almost impossible get seats beside each other unless a family member is heavily involved with a senior club.

    Lots of tickets turning up tonight

    Dublin is awash with Maroon tonight.

    Comer first goalscorer. Comer man if the match. See the difference in a man that didn't train just so he could be on a pitch to a man who has trained hard for two weeks.

    Unleash the beast.

    best of luck tomorrow , you were good enough to wish us well last week it would be wrong not to return the favour

    i fancy galway , i think rob finerty will finally get the recognition he deserves he's been a player of the year candidate all year , i think the performances of john maher and sean mulkerin since the group stage have been serious and both putting themselves in the all star picture , Mathew tierney and liam silke have been a picture of consistency all year and the 3 lads at the back are the best full back line in the country

    on paper there are a lot of all stars in this side before you start to mention paul conroy , shane walsh , comer, kelly, mcdaid , this is a really good team , it probably will be a tight and nervous affair like the ulster final

    it would make for a great photo shoot though on the border with sean kelly and tony kelly with both cups next week

    Money, nowhere near enough funds to do it.
