The Mayo match is right around the corner and Steede is just back into the panel. It's probably harsh but I don't doubt that, rightly or wrongly, plenty of other IC managers would have done the exact same thing.

Rumour has it that Ronan Steede has been axed from the panel because he's gone to New York for 5 days with Corofin. Madness if true.

Think he was pulling out anyway as he hadn't been going too well. Was never quite county standard IMO. Ml Farragher is the one they really should make an effort to get in. Lot of lesser players there ahead of him.

I've never been convinced by Steede, thought he'd struggled when up against good midfielders anytime I've seen him. Agree on Michael Farragher, Corofin's progress every year is really affecting the likes of him.

Does it make any difference if someone from Corofin doesn't play against Mayo in May? the League is played at a slower pace than championship and if a player is good enough he will be selected later.

Nobody seems too sure how this will go . It is very interesting aspect to games not involving dublin in recent years , yes most of the time it's the same three or four remaining when semis come about but Galway have beaten Mayo twice , Ros hammered Galway,  Tipp have beaten Galway and reached a semi , Tipp can beat Cork , Mayo beat Kerry . All in recent years.

What a championship  it would be without Dublin.

Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

Speaking of Corofin, they got flaked by New York 1-20 to 1-07 on Thursday night. Obviously it's a big jaunt for them so you have to caution against reading too much into the result. The New York-Leitrim match is shaping up to be one of the most interesting ties of the summer, though.

Was only half the Corofin team and that half was probably still hungover.

Doubtful, they were nearly straight off the plane and on a bus to Gaelic Park. The match was also played at 12.45am Irish time which wouldn't have helped.

Enda varley has been invited to county training for a trial period after his 1-8 for Vincents this evening.

Good. I thought he was unlucky to get axed in the first place.

It seems the Ronan steede episode has not gone down well in the Galway camp, as in some of the players it has been an unwanted distraction.
It looks like the slim chance brannigan had of even making the subs is all but buried.
The only positive bit of news is that Galway defeated cork in a challenge,match.as is the norm with these behind closed door matches no details of who started or finished.maybe some other poster has the direct line!!

Because of KW cutting Steede out of the panel or that he went to the US in the first place?

The first option I'd imagine AFA, they're a tight knit bunch, this was never going to end well.

In semi related news.

Former Mayo forward Mark Ronaldson has transferred from his native club Shrule/Glencorrib to Oranmore/Maree.

Ronaldson won an All-Ireland under 21 medal with Mayo back in 2006, along with 3 Connacht SFC medals over the years.

He made his senior championship debut for Mayo off the bench against Sligo in 2008 and his last appearance was as a substitute against Dublin in the 2015 All-Ireland semi-final.

Ronaldson works as a teacher in Ballinasloe, bought a house in Oranmore and has now transferred clubs.

I see RuairĂ­ Lavelle has transferred to Salthill in other transfer news.
