Definitely want to get off the stage as far as trying to rewrite history is concerned.
They ended up as big failures with us so move on lads.
Keep ye're media gigs by all accounts but just talk about this year's Championship or formats or whatever but stop the self serving sh1te.
Agree absolutely with that last part - self serving is what it is 100%.

Kevin Walsh's selection problems are mounting in that he really does not know his best team in the a v b games the b team has being coming out on top,Martin farragher and rob finnerty are believed to be in flying form,whatever about finnerty definitley think farragher will start.

the Connacht final in 2018 was level up to about the 60th minute.
hardly getting beaten out the gate. the lack of defensive structure and ability to win any ball in midfield lost that game. same with the replay in 2016. all things McStay didn't work on

anyway, onto the game on June 16.
the weather will have a big bearing on it in Salthill. Will Galway open up a bit if they play with the breeze?

Unlikely. Coaches have come up with the bright idea that it's basically impossible to be scored against with the wind advantage if you pack a defense, and with turnovers, breaking at pace, and scoring long range frees, if executed correctly you should get at 6-7pt+ advantage. Its happening all over the country, even in club games now and Galway seem to adhere, if not execute correctly. Hard agree with the tactic, although it's been devised by people who do more study and have access to more data than me or Pat Spillane or Joe Brolly

Lads on the "B team" playing well and putting the hand up in training is a good problem to have although if the players on the "A team" aren't going well generally that would sound like a continuation of the middling form shown in the two championship games to date which is a concern.

Level up until the 69th minute.  Lost the ability to win anything in midfield once Cathal Compton went off injured on 30 minutes and lets be fair Roscommon defended a lot better in last years Connacht final than the replay 2016.

2017 we couldn't miss when shooting, 2018 we couldn't score when shooting.

Peter Cooke, Sean Kelly and Ciaran Duggan still not back in full training so safe to say all three will play no part.

FOC also a major doubt after picking up a hamstring injury in the first round of the club championship.

Interesting to see what he'll do at midfield with those 4 missing. Would have thought its either Michael Daly or D'Arcy. I'd probably go with D'Arcy.

You'd have to feel sorry for Ultan Harney, he just can't stay fit.

FOC was taken off as a precaution i hear. Galway have known about their injuries for sometime and will have planned accordingly Roscommon losing Harney is different, a big blow to lose one of their key starters a week before the Connacht final.

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

Poor Ultan has been so unfortunate with injuries.

Comer definitely out, as is Duggan, and disappointingly, Paul Conroy. Molloy in a race to be fit also. If Molloy doesnt make it, would really be surprised not to see Silke back at half back and Kyne in the corner. Depends on Kyne. The other option is start G'OD. Cooke, Kelly both back but hard see either start, especially Kelly with a dodgy hamstring.

I'm struggling to think of any team thats been so injury ridden as Galway in 2019. It's just never ending
