Connacht senior football championship 2024

A lot of people owe the Galway goalie Gleeson an apology. His frees into the wind at the end won them that game. I remember he got a lot of stick over the past few years, notably from his own countymen.

Do they really? He was a calamity against Armagh goalkeeping more inclined with junior b than an all ireland quarter final.  He did well with his frees at weekend yes, but criticism after the Armagh game was fully warranted. 

If Donegal win the Ulster Final , Armagh will meet Galway again.

The best of three!

May the best team win. It would be weird to have Galway, Armagh and Westmeath in the same group again.

Armagh fans expect Armagh to do their utmost to avoid this scenario.

Galway v Derry is GAAGO only, pity it would've been a good one for RTE.

Galway were very poor in that first half, so many basic errors with their handling, hand passing and kicking. Losing possession of the ball when not even under pressure was a regular occurrence. Nobody minds conceding scores to good play but some of those Mayo scores were soo easy, the ball was walked into the scoring zone without a hand laid on them; Sweeney & Molloy didn't cover themselves in glory there!

The balance of the team wasn't right, not enough forwards picked in the team that started, looked a totally team when Maher, Walsh & Tierney came on. Appreciate those lads aren't fit enough for 70 mins so Joyce had a bit of a dilemma. 11 points in that second half when the wind had picked up was a very good effort.

Are McLaughlin & Hernon both back training with the panel? I saw them both at the match, Hernon in particular would be a huge addition; Thought he was excellent in the few games he played last year.

McLaughlin and Hernon are now back training with the squad

Any reason why the ladies connacht final wasn't played last sunday prior to the mens game ? surely a huge chance to promote the game ?

So as the LGFA wouldn't get a share of the gate €?

Listening to GAA social and McConville loving getting the digs in at Mayo management. He was turned down to be involved with Mayo couple of years back.

For an IC manager McConville does a lot of media work. Wicklow must not be paying much.

I'd say he isn't driving down the road for the good of his health for all that!

what's his profession?

[SouthOfThe Bann]

what's his profession?

Could be wrong but is he a counselor of some sort?

[imtommygunn]

Not sure but when they did that thing about a typical day with wicklow and then you look at what he does in the media I doubt he can have a conventional ~40 hour week or whatever job.
