It has really changed the course of the game with Dublin coming back into it.
Plus they'll be against the wind in 2nd half.
A red card for me. Reckless when ball was gone.
You might be right. Me I am not sure about it. The thing about it is though Burke didn't have to make the hit. He deliberately laid the man out and left the ref with a decision to make. The ref didn't have the benefit of slow motion replays and after consulting with the linesman Burke was gone.
It cost Galway the game and possibly Henry his job
It was a needless challenge, silly even, especially when the ball was gone. Some will say a red, others will say yellow but it's not the reason they lost.
They were very poor V Antrim. Antrim's sending-off made Galway look good at the start of the 2nd half. Wexford beat them and then the earlier draw with Kilkenny.
Consistently inconsistent!
Ironically it was M'OD that put them to the sword today. He was the last manager to get a tune out of that Galway squad. When you see big Johnny Glynn coming off the bench, it's not saying much for their bench/squad.
Henry's career has stalled a bit because of this period. I'm sure they looked an attractive proposition from the outside but he hasn't progressed them, for whatever reason. I think they need a clear out and a rebuild is needed.
Whether it's him or not, time will tell.
