The final on TV Saturday? Be superior fare to the club matches I'd wager.

Someone would seriously prefer pro watch the Sigerson final than the four best clubs in Ireland going head-to-head?

I've watched alot of Slaughtneils games over the last three or four years, and whilst hugely effective, they don't tend to be that exciting. (Kilcar was a flash in the pan game)

Their game against Scotstown was also one of the best I've ever seen.

Fantastic coverage and some great team scores. All that is good about Sigerson cup.

To win a Sigerson final is a feather in the cap for many footballers and I'm sure they'll be be going all-out for the victory, even more so than the glorified friendly that is the Inter-Pros. Both colleges will boast a large complement of inter-county players, some of whom are senior AI medal winners. Do you think it will be of inferior standard to the club games?

Who cares though? Bar the players and those involved in the clubs and a few former players it's pretty meaningless stuff. Competitive and of a good standard granted but of importance to very few. I'd imagine far, far more people in Galway will be interested in Corofin winning that NUIG.

Looked like some very soft trees against UU after they got the goal

Maybe UUJ need to branch out and forget about trying to buy Sigersons.

You never answered my previous question about UCD and NUIG with reference to scholarships

Are they tying to buy a Sigerson? They all have scholarships. In fact, UCD were the first college to bring them in, and have the most expansive program.

So why do you focus on UUJ and leave out the other colleges?

Stand down Kickham. He is only trying to get a reaction

Not necessarily. Bit of Corofin-fatigue setting in amongst Galway supporters. They'd like to see the win for sure, but there's no novelty factor with them, it's not as if they're there for the first time. On the other hand, with Galway's fortunes improving, there'd be a good interest in how NUIG fare, as there's a good number of potential/actual county players on board.

Let's compare attendances at the two games and see if that's BS or not.

As you said there is potentially more future Galway footballers playing for NUIG than Corofin tomorrow. Albeit minus Kieran Molloy now.
