Galway v Mayo 11/06/17

a foul out the field

Seriously dude, you know in your heart of hearts that that was not a foul.
Terrible call by the ref.
That's up there as one of the hardest fairest shoulders i have ever seen. Up there with Tom Cunniffe a few years ago. Or the greatest one i ever saw (can any other Mayo folk remember this one!) ... Noel Connelly versus Galway in league winter 1995 - he nearly broke 6' 4" Fergal Gavin in front of the stand in McHale Park

Damien Burke fairly emptied McDonald in Salthill one year and Tomas Tierney shipping a bit of punishment in McHale Park in the early 90s come to mind!!

Was that not Diarmuid Blake who buried McDonald. Yeah some great belts (fair ones) down the years in Galway v Mayo Games.

That one on McDonald was a real sickener. The match was lost and Johnno threw an unfit McDonald on, he was blindsided to the (fair) shoulder. He fell to his knees and the Galway crowd let out an almighty roar

It certainly was Tubberman from our point of view but you can understand the roar of approval if your were from Galway.

Val Daly that did Tomas Tierney! AFAI Remember! He went to the other side and a statement had to be made which is fair enough!

I think Mulholland had a good cut at him that day also...............

What was the story with TT switching?? Was there something that lead to it or did he just move jobs?

The Galway crowd hasn't had much to roar about recently.

Strange one, although Galway won last year away and are better prepared this year, Mayo will no doubt be slight favourites going into this one - I'd say about 2/3 pts
Galway' win last year had a lot to do with the hurt previous thrashings had caused and Mayo's perceived or real - lack of respect. This time Mayo have the motivation and if Galway do win it will be a massive victory as there can be no excuses. If Galway do best Mayo this time I think we will really know where Galway are at.
Last seasons win had us thinking we had made good progress but against tip that excitement was certainly dampened.

I believe Galway are about 2 years away from peaking and I feel Mayos decline hasn't started. Tough game to call and an injury or a bounce of the ball could swing it for either team. It'll be some battle

What about the hurlers Seaf, Pro 12 final last year and that day in McHale Park?? Not bad when you think about it?

I think John Tobin decided to get of him and a few of the older lads when he took over the Galway Team around 1990 - Tierney was already teaching in Westport for a few years at that point and he transferred to the local club and also threw his lot in with Mayo - he would have been around 29/30 at the time I guess?

Cillian McDaid invited for over for AFL trials in Melbourne in October.

I think at this stage you have to say write him off for 2 years, let him enjoy a couple of years in Oz. People tend to panic when they see lads going, but in reality often they are only gone for a season or two.

Heard that earlier in the week alright - great opportunity for him but he would be a big loss to us IMO - has a huge amount of senior potential...........
