Utd absolutely urine-poor. Seem to be in competition among themselves to see how often they can give away possession. Rooney, O Shea neck and neck so far.  Marseilles at 23/10 to win on the night a raging buy.

So while our rugby team slug it out in Murrayfield the glories of Tuam await the green and red next Sunday. It is early in the season but you would think that the loser is going to find it very difficult to escape the drop.

Can Mayo maintain their 12 year unbeaten record in Tuam?

Oooh cheeky!!  :D

Hopefully Tuam will be a cauldron on Sunday, making life uncomfortable for the visitors. Nothing like the presence of ..err.... the hometown Ultras to put the fear up the opposition.   :D

Duine Eile - Can you tell me if Pat O'Hagan (Down All-Ireland winner in 1960 and 1961) has a grandson on the Galway team/panel this year?

I thinks its the Reilly lad from Claregalway who is a grandson of O'Hagan the former Down great.

No, 'tis Danny Cummins, indeed a grandson of the late Patsy Hagan who passed away last year (?)

Small bit better shape about this Galway team, De Paor apart, but playing the AI finalists on home ground is a big ask. Still, I backed the draw!!!!!

QuoteAnd it's very debatable that any film with Matt Damon in it could be called good

Serious, you don't like any of

Good Will Hunting
Rounders
Saving Private Ryan
Green Zone
Invictus
The Bourne Trilogy
Oceans XI

Not that I don't particularly like them, but in every film he's in it's just Matt, no range or depth or anything. Very one-dimensional actor IMHO.

I thought Heat was brilliant, Pacino annoyed the hell out of me in it with his over-acting and shouting but still loved it.  Think The Departed is hugely over-rated though.  The Town was very good.

Thought Nicholson did the same in The Departed. Hamming it up big time.

Certainly. Played himself as a parody yet again. And it's very debatable that any film with Matt Damon in it could be called good.

Galway will be relegated make no mistake about it, exact same story as last year, players are simply not good enough at this time. First half was alright as a game with a bit of ebb and flow but once Monaghan pulled out the finger in the 2nd half there was only one team on the pitch. I could go through rating players etc but the is little point, it's the same issues time and again with Galway, I could probably quote from posts I made about league games last year and it'd pass for a report on the Monaghan game.
Only Hanley, Bradshaw, Bane and Armstrong looked like anything even resembling inter county class on the Galway team yesterday. Best player on the pitch was Conor McManus, kicked some super scores and torched Fitzgerald in the first half.

With the greatest respect to the club, there's a bit too much attention paid to players from Ajax-Corofin, been too many ordinary ones on the panel for a while now. As you said Fhairche, the afore-mentioned are about the best in terms of quality that's about. Cillian De Paor looked terrible from the bit I saw on TV, with Matt Clancy back to his running about and falling down worst. Doubt if you'll see Nicky back anytime soon either. Are we now the worst team in Connacht?

On a tangent, does anyone have an idea what the centre of excellence in Prenty's back lawn is supposed to be about?

Heat definitely overrated, if for no other reason than Pacino chews up half of LA in his performance. Most of Mann's films tend to favour style over substance anyway.

Thanks for posting this DE; GBFM had trumpeted that they would have the line-up on their Facebook page but, surprise, surprise, no sign of it - Gary Kelly probably put in charge of it I suppose.


Anyway, this Galway team is thoroughly samey, bit like an ubiquitous 8-year old Corolla you might see in every car dealer's garage. The tried and fairly ordinary Corofin contingent are still well represented. Interesting combination at midfield and a recall for Niall Coyne at no. 6. Where's Niall Coleman? The front 6 won't put too much fear into most of the counties in this division, but might just be good enough to overcome a Monaghan team in plenty disarray of it's own. Don't want to sound overly negative and O Flathartha deserves time to put his stamp on the team but the team itself has progressed very little in 5-6 years with various players just being shuffled around a bit.

What will Galways team lineout as? No meehan for the league , heard Nicky Joyce isnt on the panel either , have they any reliable freetaker now?

God only knows, serious lack of firepower up front. Both Joyces unavailable, Meehan injured and abroad (will he ever be fully fit again?). Paul Conroy and Eoin Concannon possibly unavailable due to club involvement. Galway in a very bad place right now and survival in the top division looks like a real struggle. Mayb eit would be better to drop down a level and continue the long process of rebuilding / waiting until better players come along.

And MU if they hold of them? For SAF, the thought of what Barce's midfield might do to Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Park, Nani et al must be particularly horrifying. Just hope John O Shea isn't picked against Messi.

Whoever his replacement is, I hope he's a top, top pundit.

Bale in danger of becoming the Kieran Donaghy of the Premiership, a one-trick pony. In severe danger next year of suffering from second-season syndrome.

Where forwards are concerned, any proper manager would have Gooch first, Michael Meehan second, a long way ahead of any others about at present.

Ahead of Bernard Brogan?
Don't be silly.
A good bit ahead. Meehan a far better finisher. Brogan built up by Dublin-centric media.

What did Meehan ever win?
Did he ever even play past a Senior All Ireland Quarter Final?
Has he an All-Star?

Meehan won AI colleges, 2 U-21 finals and a club AI, and was pivotal in all victories. Has always been excellent for Galway, even when surrounded by mediocrity. Remember his tour-de-force v Kerry on the wet day a few years ago? Also had great games v Cork in the 2005 1/4 final and Donegal in 2003 (his substitution in the latter, drawn game was O'Mahoney's single biggest mistake as Galway manager as it swung the game Donegal's way)

Er. what has Brogan won?
