Jlloyd Samuel. Ex Villa player.

Car crash and was returning home after dropping his kids off to school. so sad Rip.

Just watched the live coverage Galway v Mayo game there. I know it was not a great game but ffs those fellas analysing would depress the life out of you. New season, same oul dreary analysis. I barely want to watch another match this season after listening to them.

Tired format, same old story every year, appalling highlights of the games that aren't carried live on the evening show as well. Brolly, Spillane and O'Rourke really need to be out out to pasture at this point.
I watched the match back last night and the "expert analysis" is nearly beyond parody at this stage it is so bad, just absolutely useless, what value do RTE add to their GAA coverage besides just carrying the live matches? Nothing. RTE and the GAA will point to viewer figures but the reality is that it would be watched by exact the same people regardless of what channel it's on.

Have stopped watching the RTE analysis long ago and i hear its still the same worn out gimmicks desperately seeking attention. The commentary of Ger Canning and Dessie Dolan was awful last Sunday and its not going to get better as Martin Carney,Tommy Carr are even worse.

I hear the injuries are mounting for the rossies with more than half a dozen players carrying knocks. Will Leitrim start to smell an upset in the air?

Does anyone know for sure the other 6 players on the Galway championship squad that weren't named on the 26 last Sunday?

Michael Daly and Kieran Molloy I assume are in there but Padraic Cunningham lined out (and played very well) for the Juniors on Sunday so I'm not sure whether he is still on the Senior panel or was released to the Juniors for the time being. Cian D'Arcy is surely going to play with the U20's as, I think, he is still eligible at that age grade.
Are Eoin Finnerty and Danny Cummins still in there? Who am I missing?

16. Bernard Power (Corofin)
17. Eamonn Brannigan (St. Michael's)
18. Frankie Burke (Annaghdown)
19. Ian Burke (Corofin)
20. Peter Cooke (Maigh Cuilinn)
21. Johnny Duane (St. James')
22. Seán Kelly (Maigh Cuilinn)
23. Patrick Sweeney (Killannin)
24. Adrian Varley (Cortoon Shamrocks)
25. David Wynne (Maigh Cuilinn)
26. Evan Wynne (Salthill/Knocknacarra)

To the Mayo lads on here - is Shane Nally still on the panel?
Or was it that he just didn't make the subs for this particular game?

Didn't make the subs played for his club at the weekend instead.

Roscommon favourites for Connacht now imo.

You won't have any bookie having them favourites so i would encourage you to place some cash on them if you really think that. 

3 in a row for Galway v Mayo.
Mayo will be in the Super 8 but they can't score enough in the last 5 minutes . Maybe they can work on it.

Galway were fortunate that Mayo's shooting was so poor.

Long road for Mayo now.

It's very hard to see them arriving at the business end of affairs firing on all cylinders.

Most of the teams in the qfs will be poor quality.
And the May factor is massive. I wouldn't rule Mayo out.
This match doesn't matter.

Do you actually watch the games or just comment on them?

Any Connacht final Ros won since 2000 never mattered either despite the excitement . Oh, the excitement

The  business end of the championship happens at a different pace

Galway beat Mayo last year and it did not matter.
Tipp lost to.Cork in hurling and it did not matter

Lets stick with the here and now shall we? that mattered very much to Mayo as today in front of their home support was to be the day to turn Galway over and to avoid a 3rd championship defeat in a row against them. Well done to Galway but lets be honest Mayo were architects of their own downfall again and not just the players as Rochford and co on the line didn't cover himself in glory again.

Hanley, Vaughan, Brannigan make match day 26. No Keegan as of yet but could still change.

Doherty to start for C O Connor and Barrett in for Cafferky its been said..

Jesus, what is that shite that won?

Sounds like I've walked into a henhouse.

Awful altogether.

Ireland were 5/1 before the song was sang tonight and now its 10/1..

What happened on the UK song did some try to stop it?

So both sides won each half by 10 points? did Wexford kick a late penalty over the bar thinking time was up?

The bench will be the most interesting , CIan Hanley will be part of it or maybe even playing despite what people are saying that he's not in the plans for this year.

He's a long way off it from what I hear

If so i find it odd he was given a place on the championship panel while others training since before the FBD have been cut from the panel.

Would Hanley still be considered an inside forward or would he be another 'running' option somewhere in the middle third?

He was a half forward at minor level

The Herrins seem the real deal alright.
Hopefully we can win our 2 remaining games and get another cracking at them in the Final.
Great result for our buicíns tonight and hopefully they've all the dirty diesel out of the system now.

Does it come down to scoring averages across all games if 3 teams finish level on points?

Thats the current table as you can see its currently based on head to head results but if 3 sides finish level on points it will be decided on scoring averages.

Fair play to them.
Can't believe I'm saying this but the song is actually growing on me!

Not growing on me anyway. Even Mickey Hartes song "We've Got the World" was more of a catchy tune.

Tonight minor Results

Sligo 0-10 Galway 3-15
Roscommon 4-12 Mayo 0-11
