Galway V Mayo R4 Qualifier

[Tubberman]

Who is Eamon Donoghue?

Describing Kevin McLouglin as a converted half back is a bit rich, he hasn't played HB for 10 years FFS

Sure Andy Moran is a converted HB too.

Galway always produce decent forwards. Mayo tend to produce great backs and midfielders
Why is this  ?

I think it's a case of stereotypes! Galway have not had a great forward since the 1998-2001 bunch.

Meehan. Sadly virtually finished at 25/26. Would have walked on the Galway team in either 98 or 01 though.

Meehan. Shane Walsh and Comer are not bad either

I think a defeat for Galway on Saturday could be the making of them, genuine All Ireland contenders if they get the manager right for next year imo.

I hope the Galway players feel the same way.

I guess if we lose on Saturday, there's a silver lining in that it might prolong Walsh's tenure - not withstanding his good record against us, Galway would be better without him imo

3 lads you can name in nearly 20 years! It just goes to show Stereotypes stick! Meath will win a tight game soon and everybody will say Meath teams are never bet!

[imtommygunn]

Walsh talented but inconsistent and comer over rated. Meehan no doubt.

Problem isn't comer being overrated, it's comer being dragged out to wing back

[imtommygunn]

That too. Yeah I think most would agree that for Galway to improve a better manager maybe needed.
