Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on April 05, 2024, 10:45:19 AMWhats the feeling on Shane Walsh in Galway.

Played first game or two of league and then got injured.

Has been on holiday since that and I see hes in Portugal this week too.

Definitely deserves a holiday considering all the football hes played.

But it seems as if he gets special treatment and that he seems more committed to Kilmacud than Galway.

But I may be totally wrong on that.

Odd post. Got injured in round 1 of the NFL and will be back playing for Galway once he overcomes it.

My gut feeling there's more to it than that but could be wrong

Yeah doesn't seem to be the most dedicated sort of boy. Don't know whether to describe him as flaky or if thats a bit harsh.

After over a decade of service I think it's clear there is nothing wrong with Shane Walsh commitment to Galway senior footballers. Best not to engage with that wum.

You are getting very defensive I just asked the question.

We'll see in few months time hopefully I'm wrong.

Galway panel picture today in Ruislip which includes injured players such as Shane Walsh which should end any more odd and pure speculation posts

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

I wouldn't turn down a trip to London either haha.

Great to see him there though.

Half time in a sunny but windy Ruislip,  Galway 1-15 London 0-3. Cathal Sweeney goal on 30 minutes to give Galway a 11 point lead and game as a contest as good as over.

He's virtually been every present in the panel since the age of 19. Absolutely lives and breathes football, doesn't drink, rarely injured until this year.

It's incredible that if a lad throws a few dummy solos regularly, trys to kick spinners and has a tight haircut people assume he's flaky and probably soft. I've seen first hand the abuse Walsh has taken basically every day he's gone out in his career (at intermediate level in Galway it was as bad as it gets) and yet hes still there year after year

Add John Maher, Tomo Culhane and possibly Heaney to the ever growing injury list. I've never seen anything like it in the GAA. Records aren't kept on this sort of stuff but it must be record breaking in nature

Bit of a farcical situation. Imagine travelling the New York to be turned away at the gate.

Connacht Gaa saying tickets will be available to purchase at the gate.  I thought those days was over? sure for every other game they organise be it senior or underage you must have a ticket already purhased.
