Quote from: thejuice on January 07, 2020, 11:47:27 AMWell he only transferred from his club in Galway to Navan O'Mahoneys for the 2019 season so this is really realistically the first year he would have been on the radar of football people in Meath.
He only came on in the last O'Byrne Cup game in the second half. But he must be doing something right to get a call up so late on in his career. Was minor in 2007 the last time he played for Galway?
Quote from: thejuice on January 09, 2020, 01:12:06 PMJack McCaffrey had a good interview on OTB this week.
Dubs under Dessie could go either way. I would imagine there would be lads out to earn their place but might not lend to a cohesive team performance. Monaghan might be in a similar position but they'll always be tough to beat.
Meath will be treating this like championship but I'm not sure if we'll have a strong enough squad to see it through but I shouldn't write us off just yet.
Quote from: seafoid on January 08, 2020, 10:24:43 AMMonaghan would have been relegated last year only for a push and a dive in the Tyrone v Roscommon game.
2 questions for me are :
Will Monaghan improve or be as poor as last year?
Will the Dubs be arsed, because they weren't last year .

I think they will go down, probably with Meath or Galway

He said that the announcement by Gavin caught everyone off guard. But the players met up to reminisce about the Gavin times and by the end they were all pretty excited and determined about 2020.
Interestingly, he'll be working in a hospital in Kilkenny from February for 6 months so will have to deal with a commute for training/matches that so many non-Dubs have to deal with. Of course, Dub-KK is far from the worst commute going.

6 by my count. Clarke didn't play that game while Parsons only came off the bench.

Not too bad, and picked mainly on current form. No harm to give Gleeson another run to see what's he made of in a proper competitive game. Ditto Mulkerrin and D'arcy. HB line has to start producing the goods. Boyle not good enough and Ml. Daly has to stop going missing in games. With a fair wind behind PJ and against weakened opposition with a new/returning manager also a home win should be well achievable.
Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on January 23, 2020, 01:50:35 PM
Monaghan team is about as strong as they could have named bar McManus, this is huge test for a Galway team with 4 league debutants.
That said, this is a home match that Galway simply must get a positive result from, with very tricky away trips to Kerry and Donegal to follow, we don't want to reach Round 4 of the league pointless.
Quote from: Maroon Manc on January 23, 2020, 11:19:22 AMMaybe 6 started and 5 came on at ht and later.
Thats a very strong Monaghan team, how many of them played in the Tyrone game? Don't think there was too many.

Quote from: Manning18 on January 24, 2020, 02:51:38 PM
Being a bit pedantic but always find those comments about 'bookies think things are certs' to be strange.
That 2/5 on Meath is a marginated price. If they make Meath 2/5 then given standard overrounds they make the 1/2 or so on 100% pricing, the change down to 2/5 is their margin. 1/2 means 2 times out of 3, or 67%. It's more likely than unlikely in their view but a long way from cert territory.
Picking on that point specifically which is unfair as it happens everywhere. Media say "bookies can't see X Horse beaten" when it's 10/11. When 10/11 basically means they make it a 50/50 shot to win or not

He didn't look at the posts at all so had no idea where the keeper was, so was 100% a point attempt. Between that, the ref playing way over time, the other jammy deflected goal and all the Donegal wides, it looks as if lady luck is on Mayo's side for yet another season
Quote from: thejuice on January 25, 2020, 09:58:16 PM
Good game in Croker. Thought Kerry bottled it in the last 10 minutes and lucky to draw but fair play to Ciaran Kilkenny for pulling the strings to get Dublin back in the lead. He's Dublin's best player in my opinion. Tommy Walsh was mostly ineffective. I thought he'd be pulled off by half time. A lot of faking of injuries by Dublin while Loundes was in the sin bin and other time wasting towards the end.
Dublin's indiscipline was probably their biggest worry. For the most part their passing and movement was sharp and they looked to be good shape physically. The newer members of the panel probably didn't catch too many eyes but they weren't out of their depth either.
I doubt the CCCC will do anything about the handbags at the end. There was nothing to it.

I suppose we should be used to James Horan's selections at this stage but Donegal were handed the game from the start. 3 subs at ht says a lot. Not sure though he took off all the right lads though!
However, the newer players that can play at this level played well. Swanee was terrific. Oisín Mullin and Tommy Conroy have quality and no doubts about them. Mullin is probably ahead of where Lee Keegan was at his age. Conroy is only 19.

Nice to steal a draw last night, makes up for pissing away the Galway game 2 weeks ago. Scoreline flattered us at half-time needless to say. Donegal were cleaning up around midfield, partly due to Clarke's kickouts but also Tom Parsons being off the pace of the game. Flynn looked lost in midfield too, was much more prominent in the 2nd half when he was moved to half forward.
2nd half was much more evenly matched. Aidan O'Shea made a big difference in midfield, always seems to play well against Donegal. Conroy and Durcan made a big impact off the bench while McLoughlin took his frees well (fair play to him for continuing to take them despite his history).
Of the new lads I thought Mullin was very good, he has blistering pace. You can tell he's going to be a player considering he's only 19. Padraig O'Hora can be very happy with his showing. Flynn and O'Donoghue mixed the good with the mediocre but they deserve another shot against Dublin. Bryan Walsh didn't really get into the game apart from his well taken point. We seemed to be slipping a lot on the surface for some reason.
Our efficiency in front of goal was the biggest positive though. Watched the game back this morning and I think we only had 4 wides in the whole game and no shots dropped short (unless Carr's goal counts as one? ;) ). We get plenty of stick when missing chances so might as well praise them this time.

Quote from: Dubhaltach on January 26, 2020, 05:04:08 PM3 out of 4 of the Division one games this weekend ended with controversy over the amount of injury time allowed. This comes a week after the Corofin injury time shitshow. I'd argue that refs are often correct to keep adding on time due to rampant time wasting in the game however the whole thing could be fixed so easily, it's ridiculous at this stage. When will the clowns in the GAA just introduce the clock system that operates so well in Rugby? Players, management and spectators could then easily see exactly when the clock is stopped, how much time is left etc. and it would cut out a lot of the bullshit.
Quote from: GalwayBayBoy on January 26, 2020, 03:56:50 PMHe was beyond bad. It's just so hard to understand his thought process when awarding frees. We went through a sustained period in the second half where it looked like he decided we were getting no frees and it really brought Mon back into the game at time when we had pushed 5 ahead and it should have been further but sin sceal eile! A win is a win BUT an awful lot to improve on if we are to get anything out of the next 2 games, seems unlikely on the basis of what Kerry and Donegal produced last night.

I had to make do with radio coverage - but sounded like we struggled a bit around midfield?
Flynn, O Curraoin, Duggan, probably Steede and maybe Tierney to come back into that sector I guess so all is not lost.
How did the fullback line in general do?
Big step up next week.

Anything into the middle of the field is 50:50 at best and putting them on top of a small lad like O'Laoi doesn't make much sense either. Mid range kick outs were not too effective either and we seemed to resort to a lot of short ones after that. D'Arcy and Comer did field 2 great balls in either half but they were the exception. To be honest, I think a big part of the problem is that there are zero runs being made to get on the ball for our KOs. Mon schooled us in that dept today.

D'Arcy not going to make that team from what I've seen over the past few seasons - just seems a bit short of county senior standard to me.
Interesting to see if they try Steede out.

No, I can't let this narrative go unchallenged, that Galway were somehow superior throughout and that Deegan kept Monaghan in it.
He was bad, but Monaghan felt it too. We won a free along the sideline in the second half your your selector with the orange bib encroached on the field, got involved with Kieran Hughes (he knew the right man to target anyway, I'll give him that) and Deegan throws the ball up. Your defender (Heaney was it?) wrestles McManus to the ground as Monaghan break up the field in the second half and..... nothing. Your No. 6 lay down for a minute or two during stoppage time at the end of the game. Was the time added on?...... No.
Also, I'll see your couple of goal chances (that you got points out of by the way) and I'll raise you a missed penalty, a goal chance for Jack McCarron saved in the first half, the mark taken by Kieran Hughes on the edge of the square in the second half where he hit it on the turn and it went just wide, the chance from Christopher McGuinness at the end that was saved on the line by one of your backs......... my point being that on another day we hit two or three goals too and win the game.
It was a very even entertaining game and in my opinion Monaghan left at least one point behind us today.

Saw a tweet that Monaghan were denied a goal when a Galway player (assuming Gleeson or Mulkerrin, I'm trying to think back when it could have occurred) went over the line with the ball, is there any validity to that claim at all? Massive, game changing mistake by the officials if true.
Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on January 26, 2020, 09:33:37 PM
Only Round One of the league but it looks like Galway will have a huge job on to ensure they remain in Division One, could easily and maybe should have lost that match today on the balance of chances, those two points will be crucial in hopefully staying up.
I was at the Dublin-Kerry match last night as well and the difference in standard to the two teams in Salthill today was stark, I wouldn't give them a prayer in Kerry next week going by the matches this weekend. We badly need Monaghan and Meath to keep losing the rest of the way anyway.
Deegan has been highlighted here already but he was simply ridiculous in the second half. After the (by rule completely correct) black card he decided that Monaghan would need as much help as possible to even it up. Monaghan were pulling and dragging off the ball all day long, got called for it once. Galway couldn't buy a free for about twenty minutes and it took a pure dirt hit by Carey on Shane Walsh after the ball was long gone before Deegan then figured it was time to maybe play the game by rule again and Galway got a scorable free literally 20 seconds later. The injury time was definitely more than 5 minutes but if he left it to 7 minutes that would have been the maximum possible I'd have thought, the way things were going I was flabbergasted that he didn't just give Monaghan the free in after the hop ball on the 21 as it looked for all the world that he was dying to get the match to a draw.
Gleeson is clearly an excellent shot stopper, that was a good save from the penalty, and he is a much more imposing figure than the likes of Power or Lavelle between the sticks.
The most important factor is the kickout though and the jury is really out there, I'd give him a bit of a pass because the movement outside of him is nonexistent but the trajectory on his kicks is a bit too flighty as it is.
The only well worked kickout all day was when there was a load of space left in the middle and Walsh ran from the opposition half to cleanly mark it between the 45 and the 65, although I suspect this was Walsh just making the run when he saw the space rather than a designed play, either way they need to get more of this happening or Galway will be short of the Super 8s again this year. Just pumping it out and expecting Conroy, Comer and D'Arcy to pluck Hollywood catches from the skies as they each did on occasion today is a recipe for long term failure. Beggan in contrast gave a kick out masterclass at the other end, it's not all down to them but Beggan and Cluxton provide such an advantage to their respective teams in this area.
Midfield wasn't great today outside of the kickout either, Conroy hit a nice score but himself and D'Arcy are too one paced to play together and neither has the engine of Flynn, they would be killed on a faster track later in the year.
John Daly was excellent and Mulkerrin very good at FB, and they'll have to keep that up every match because we're wide open at the back and getting a lot of trouble from deep runners now without the blanket, a better team than Monaghan would have filleted Galway on several of the overlap chances they had. McDaid getting into it much more today, one terrible kick pass to no one in the first half aside.
Gary O'Donnell unsurprisingly was far better out in his usual position than he was on his brief trial in the full back line.
Boyle doesn't look up to this level at all based on his appearances to date, no surprise he was hooked straight away in the first half after another mistake when he hung around waiting for the ball to come to him and got blown out of it by the Monaghan back, you get no time for that type of play at Senior IC level.
Varley is great at getting out in front of his man as an outlet the past 3 matches in 2020 and he played well for about 45 minutes, lovely mark that he scored from in the first half that he called before he even had the ball in hand. Being ultra critical he still flubbed on 3 balls played into him in the first half that he should have absolutely controlled and made stick, given the amount of long passes Galway are now looking to play forward and the greater likelihood of losing possession as a result from this more difficult skill to execute, anything that should be caught up there simply must be.
Shane Walsh pure class again today from open play and is clearly going to be targeted by the opposition so PJ needs to do what Dublin and Kerry are old hands at by using plamas/pressure as required to get the message through to refs that he needs to be protected from sledgers on the pitch. On a less happy note he missed a right footed near gimme free off the outside of the post again. Rock and O'Shea miss nothing, he isn't in this calibre as a free taker and Galway really need someone to be.
Galway shot conversion rate went through the floor in the second half, M Daly, Brannigan and a few more missed really good opportunities after good work to put them in the position to execute. Galway have to tidy this up. Finnerty showed beautiful composure for his goal in the first half, the same was required for his point that should have been a low, hard shot to the back of the net. Didn't cost Galway today but against the best of the Division they have to be nailed.

Absolutely agree that Monaghan had more than enough chances to get a result, Galway could have very easily lost today but any suggestion that Galway did better out of or broke even from Deegan's decisions over the 81 minutes is frankly absurd, he couldn't possibly have added on any more time for ye at the end either.

Was it so that there was a pitch invasion after the final whistle at Salthill to celebrate a bare bones one point home victory over the relegation favourites?
Though I would have thought scraping a one point win at home against a rusty relegation bound team would have rung alarm bells and boos all round.
Galway had a total of 4 starters from their last championship game, and 6 league debutants. I'd say most fans were pleasantly surprised they could beat, what was by all accounts, a Monaghan first 15.

Quote from: GaillimhIarthair on January 28, 2020, 11:06:04 AM100% - we are going to take a beating before too long. We probably don't have defenders who are good enough in 1v1 defending situations to play such an open game. I couldn't make Pearse on Sunday but from talking to the brother and other friends who were there and would know their football reasonably well - it seems as if tracking runners from deep was a massive problem which led to defenders having to hold their ground and allow the easy tap over point to avoid conceding a goal chance on the overlap.Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on January 28, 2020, 10:53:59 AMAll very true AFA and the first of those "clippings" is very likely this coming Sat evening in Tralee based on the 2 teams' respective performances over the weekend.

These early team announcements are great, gets people discussing the games if nothing else. Good to see Steede get his chance, hopefully it goes well for him, he's earned it in fairness. It'll be interesting to see how he fares out at the next level. Surprised to see Comer start, there's never a full 70 in him. Same back 6 as the last day which is a worry up against those Kerry forwards. Think Duane is only keeping that corner warm for Liam Silke. Not too sure about the thoughts of Johnny Heaney up against O'Donoghue either ???
Quote from: Duine Eile on January 28, 2020, 11:28:15 PMWhatever about the viability of Duane in the corner long term, we need to pump the brakes on bigging up the likes of Silke until they actually play up to reputation at inter county level. A phenomenal club player without doubt but he's done very little at all in a Galway jersey, he wasn't even on the panel for the most successful season we've had since 2001 in 2018. He was last seen for Galway getting absolutely cleaned out in successive championship matches against Roscommon and Mayo. At least we've seen the much maligned Kerin and Wynne put in good shifts in big championship matches on occasion, Silke getting MOTM against a Sligo team that couldn't beat anyone last year doesn't count for much when it's followed up by being the worst outfield player against Mayo in a proper knockout match.Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on January 28, 2020, 10:27:11 PM

We'd all love the Corofin players to bring their on pitch success and fantastic club performances with them into the Galway team but outside of Burke in 17/18 none of them have been great in a Galway jersey so far, in mitigation it's far from ideal coming into the Galway setup late every year after a hugely demanding club campaign, maybe with the restructure of the calendar this year it'll give them a better opportunity to perform well at inter county level. The incompatible style of play excuse is certainly gone now.
Wouldn't judge Steede purely on the basis of just the next game, very difficult situation to go straight in away to Kerry with basically a rookie alongside him as well. Midfield, HF and FF line have never played as selected before for Galway either, big ask to get anything out of the match.
Quote from: galwayman on January 29, 2020, 09:17:36 AMThis is certainly the case, good for a couple of scores in a match along with one or two other nice plays but he is completely inconsistent and not the type of impactful player that he looked like coming out of U21. His excellent performance as a 2nd half substitute in the 2017 League final is nearly the best outing he's had in a Galway jersey and I can't recall if he had even togged for the Seniors before that.
Michael Daly needs to start producing or his hold on a starting jersey will loosen pretty quickly.

Id always be very wary of lads getting a chance based on Club performance . each year a new club comes along and does well there are call of most of them to be Promoted to the county team .
I happened in Mayo with Knockmore, ballina, and crossmolina but with a a few game with the odd exception the new guys were dropped one by one until only the guys who would have made it anyway were remaining .
Steede was fantastic in the final but he was hardly an unknown entity before that so is it a case he has been mistreated of just had one exceptional game?

I'm sure he'll get a bit of a run in the league but considering no other Corofin player is included, it's safe to put this one down to sheer necessity. Flynn, Duggan, O'Currain injured, Cooke away. Presuming he thinks Conroy doesnt have the legs for Kerry or soemthing could be amiss there also. He's probably more of a forward for the rest of his career anyway. Tbh the other midfielder Darcy is too inexperienced for a game like this, so it tells its own story when he's the one people are questioning least.

Quote from: thejuice on January 29, 2020, 02:00:02 PM
Unless we get our injuries sorted we're going to struggle to earn a single point. Bad enough to lose our keeper in the warm up against Tyrone but for our 2nd and 3rd choice keepers to be so under prepared is not good enough for this level. Still we had enough possession and opportunities to salvage something but we don't have the Type of players available to take on a blanket defense which Donegal could easily revert to this weekend. Hopefully Andy has been giving the mark some thought this week because we'll need it.
[/quote
By my observation, Donegal ended up with four or five injuries against Mayo, be surprised if any of them start, throw that in with the previously missing and they may well struggle.
I have no idea how Meath are, but would assume they would be competitive at home.

Quote from: seafoid on January 30, 2020, 08:53:18 AMHmmm, I would suggest that that the football divisions are pretty evenly matched with Cork in Div 3 possibly being the exception. There were two Div 1 games in Pearse Stadium last Sunday, 1 was a good competitive match, the other wasn't even a good training session. I'm not expecting a win in Tralee on Sat night but I am hoping that we will be at least competitive and I would also be hopeful of giving the Dubs a good rattle in Pearse Stadium later on, similar to their last visit. I like the football league structure, even allowing for the time of year its played etc.
Odds 30 Jan
Dublin 13/8
Kerry 3/1
Galway 8/1
Tyrone 9/1
Mayo 10/1
Donegal 10/1
Monaghan 40/1

I like the look of some of the new faces on show in Ballybofey but Dublin looked sharp the last day and with most of the side anxious to stake their claim with the new manager, they won't be lacking motivation.

Have to agree. The performance in Ballybofey wouldn't do against the Dubs either. Hard to see a Mayo win, a tight loss would be ok I'd imagine. A hammering would be terrible.

I found this very interesting.
Between '13 and '17, Mayo played Dublin a total of 19 times, between league and championship, and lost 17 of them. They won only two and drew the other two but the interesting fact is that Mayo amassed a total of 250 points in the process but Dublin managed only 251.
However, the devil is in the detail...
Dublin scored a total of 32 goals whereas Mayo managed only 12.
Seems goals win games...

Out of the 71 championship games last summer there were only 5 games where a side scored less goals than the opposition and won.
On Dublin when you look at the stats in terms of the amount of goal scoring chances they create and convert, as well as looking at their overall attacking play in games, it's blatantly clear that part of their overall strategy is to score goals. I think it's one of the areas where they are a good way ahead of the competition. A lot of other sides seem far more willing to "take their points" as opposed to developing the play and getting the shot at goal off.

Personally I think its time to show confidence in hennelly you have to accept the odd mistake but overall hes a top class keeper with a great kick out when as Clarke has as many meltdowns and was poor under the high ball in ballybofey.
if mullin plays fullback he going to need all the protection he can get
Quote from: Lar Naparka on January 30, 2020, 06:53:25 PMQuote from: From the Bunker on January 30, 2020, 06:18:16 PMConor McKeon did an interview with Enda Varley on Monday last in the Indo.
When is the last time Mayo beat Dublin in League or Championship?
The answer is probably 2012. A long time ago!
Dublin in the past would have singled out this League fixture. That's probably not the case anymore. :-\
I found this very interesting.
Between '13 and '17, Mayo played Dublin a total of 19 times, between league and championship, and lost 17 of them. They won only two and drew the other two but the interesting fact is that Mayo amassed a total of 250 points in the process but Dublin managed only 251.
However, the devil is in the detail...
Dublin scored a total of 32 goals whereas Mayo managed only 12.
Seems goals win games...
Quote from: rosnarun on January 31, 2020, 05:23:48 PM
no there were strategies that went arseways , but we have no better striker of the ball. lets face it Clarke has an even worse record in that regard like landing the ball on connollys head and messing up 32 other kick outs when the game was in the balance and kicking the ball out over the line wen 1 point down with a minute left in an all Ireland Finals
Quote from: GalwayBayBoy on January 31, 2020, 08:34:38 PMClose to a first-choice championship team yes, probably a couple more besides Moran missing though. Definitely Tom O'Sullivan would replace Enright in defence. In the forwards, Gavin O'Brien has a bit to go to be a starter. Kerry do seem to be going strong from the very start of the league.
Kerry with a strong team out again. Only really missing David Moran. Have Jack Barry back.

Sounded like some controversy over a black card at the end there and the officials not letting the player back on the field.

Dublin weren't exactly excelling themselves either anywhere on the pitch before the red card. I do agree with regards the Mayo forwards, how many wides from 'scorable' frees and indeed overall? But the red card and the goal changed the game in my opinion. I'm not saying that we would have won it but it would probably mean the Dubs having to up the tempo a bit.
Probably a boring game for the neutrals watching it.

Why the f**k did Diarmuid not kick all the frees? Better striker of the ball than Cillian or anybody else.
Once the red card happened it was over anyway so it is just about the housekeeping bits that are the most damaging in the long run.
Most Mayo players played very well. If I were Horan I would be happy out. That result tonight means f**k all. Going forward Mayo's biggest concern is keeping Ruane and Mullin. Mullin class again tonight.

Agree totally. Where is Ruane? I thought I heard his name mentioned on the radio playing against Galway in the FBD, but he wasn't named last week or this week.

Quote from: GaillimhIarthair on February 02, 2020, 09:11:09 AMHow did you think Mulkerrin and Heaney did in the fb line?
If I was handed a 1pt defeat and a good performance prior to our game in Tralee I would have taken it no bother, however, in the context of last nights game we definitely left that one behind us and badly so at that. To have created so many chances in the first half and taken so few was extremely disappointing with Shane and Damien being to the fore in that regard. The longer the game progressed in the 2nd half we were definitely in the ascendency and making Kerry look quite rudderless at times. Walsh was now in full flow and by a distance the outstanding player on view. Once again, Cillian had another brain fart and we just did not manage that 10 min period when we were down to 14 very well at all, turned over too much ball in our own back line and were constantly outing ourselves under pressure.
A very enjoyable game of football overall and a cracking atmosphere to boot in Tralee - very wet drive home though!!! Onwards we go to Letterkenny.
Quote from: galwayman on February 02, 2020, 01:08:00 PMI thought they both did well and Mulkerrin especially considering the quality of ball that was going in to Clifford in the first half. A forward of Cliffords quality will kick scores all day if he get a good service. Once Galway repelled the initial Kerry attack they were very good and pushing them out beyond the 45 and were quite successful in turning them over. John Daly again was excellent and is really turning into a cornerstone of our defence. Overall a very good performance and just a pity we didn't at least take a point out of it which would have been deserved.Quote from: GaillimhIarthair on February 02, 2020, 09:11:09 AMHow did you think Mulkerrin and Heaney did in the fb line?

Sounds like we were caught out trying to play keep ball at the back for the Kerry goal.
It seems we got a good performance though and this will be a good learning experience for that team.
On another note - that is Cillians third black card in 4 games this year - he really needs to sort that indiscipline out.

I don't think we're beating anyone sadly. You can't compete at the highest level with a makeshift forward line. We really quickly run out of ideas against a packed defense and don't have the individuals available to make something happen. Newman if fit could do something but we won't have him at all i the league.
It sounded like the referee bottled it and gave Murphy a yellow but I'm sure there'll be a hundred different opinions on it.

Odds for topping winning the league:
Dublin 11/8
Kerry 3/1
Donegal 7/1
Mayo 8/1
Tyrone 8/1
Galway 10/1
Monaghan 16/1
Meath 50/1
To be relegated:
Meath 2/5
Monaghan 11/8
Galway 5/2
Tyrone 11/4
Mayo 3/1
Donegal 7/2
Kerry 8/1
Dublin 33/1
The bookies think Meath are a cert to go down with any one of the next 5 along with them.
Was just looking at the fixtures and Tyrone have a tough draw this year, home to Meath in the first round which presumably Meath will be fired up for and after that they have 4 away games plus home games against Dublin & Kerry.

I thought the Mayo sending off was harsh but not really surprising. It's part of the sanitising of gaelic football that has been taking place year on year. It's long past the stage of being a physical contact sport where yellow cards are now doled out for fairly trivial personal fouls and in the process bringing down the threshold for what is deemed a red card offence. Colm O'Rourke could now be in bother with RTE after making a fairly throwaway remark about pansy boys as the PC brigade come out in force to attack him. Given RTEs recent propensity for political correctness it wouldn't surprise me if he too now faces the axe.
Quote from: Manning18 on February 03, 2020, 04:35:03 PM
Comer thrives on football. He was at his peak in the 2018 league after a proper run of Sigerson previous. I think he's on a very nice trajectory to be hitting top shape come championship provided he stays injury free. Performances for his first couple of games back are slightly ahead of where I expected.
Very good right up again AFA and good point on Cooke. I wonder is there even half a chance he could be tempted back given the general air of excitement around? This season was really one he shouldve been coming into his prime after flashes last year amid injuries.

Quote from: GalwayBayBoy on February 04, 2020, 10:22:45 PMMichael Boyle starting is a surprise based on his previous outing against Monaghan where he looked well off what is required at this level. Maybe he is showing well in training and is getting another chance to impress.

Quote from: galwayman on February 04, 2020, 10:41:13 PMLiam Boyle was definitely named on 26 for the Monaghan league match so he's been in the camp at least.
I thought Liam Boyle was involved with the squad in the FBD but I could have that wrong.
Was a nice wing back for the minors a few years back though quite small and light physically.
I'm glad Steede is getting another start
Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on February 05, 2020, 09:53:43 AM100% agree that Varley should be starting based on performances YTD. He may be carrying a knock for this one as he was down for an extended period of time after a heavy challenge on Shane Enright the other night.Quote from: galwayman on February 04, 2020, 10:41:13 PMLiam Boyle was definitely named on 26 for the Monaghan league match so he's been in the camp at least.

Not surprised to see Ó Laoi make way but definitely surprised to see Michael Boyle back in there, he looked a nice bit off IC standard in the Monaghan match but maybe unfair to judge on the basis of one match, anyone who saw the match in Kerry and didn't know anything about the players would have probably put Steede in the same category.
Varley very unlucky to be out of the starting 15 again on the basis of performances in the 4 matches this year to date, he's certainly played better than Daly, Boyle and probably Finnerty as well.

A good opportunity for Galway to pick up away win as Donegal are poor in O'Donnell Park.

A changing of the Guard! Not as smooth as Dublin's evolution from the team of 2011.
These things don't happen overnight - Ask Tyrone, Donegal and Kerry.
The GAA should be happy. A strong Dublin is badly needed. The rest are there to make up competition and the rest can fade away in tier 2.

The Monaghan team are in a decent shape, however the Dubs are in better shape than this time last season, maybe due to the new manager needing early validation.

Quote from: Kingdom37 on February 08, 2020, 09:23:56 PMIn fairness, I wasn't at all referring to handy frees by the ref, but to the ref for pulling back play after a clash when McManus was clear on goal was overly officious and then to have morons here claim it was the Monaghan player rolling around faking it which caused the added on minutes.Quote from: Main Street on February 08, 2020, 09:18:27 PMQuote from: hardstation on February 08, 2020, 09:17:00 PMSo you didn't notice that? no wonder with your head being stuck up Dublin's arse.Quote from: Main Street on February 08, 2020, 09:15:07 PM::)Quote from: hardstation on February 08, 2020, 09:04:20 PMNo surprise that a spoofer cum charlaton like yourself didn't spot that McManus was clear on goal and then pulled back by the ref, for the purposes of a Monaghan player supposedly pretending to be injured??Quote from: Main Street on February 08, 2020, 08:57:44 PMThere wouldn't have been 10 minutes injury time if Monaghan players hadn't spent so much time on the ground pretending to be injured.

Brilliant comeback by the Dubs tonight. A game like that is just what the young Dubs needed. Fair dues to Monaghan - they had a great first half, but they will know that you have to do it in both halves to win the game.

ok - just home. Long post mortem. Great entertainment all all that but monaghan were hosed by branigan.
Mccarthy gets a free in after taking at least 8 steps. Hughes black card for contesting why he didn't get a 45 (which clearly was a 45). The macmanus 1 on 1. Keep playing until Dublin equalise. The list goes on. Hopefully none of these things matter at the end of the day but we need better refs than that.

Quote from: Manning18 on February 09, 2020, 12:38:36 AMAs BennyCake said earlier, the ref got the stoppage time in stoppage time correct.
As someone that was shouting for Monghan throughout the game, I thought the ref was more than fair to them tbh. A number of easy frees given in the second half. The lack of play on to McManus looked bad because he was clear through but the whistle was blown for a contact foul long before that and Dubs stopped playing. Someone will have to do the clock on the injury time, went way over but a hell of a lot of the original 6 was wasted also so hard to know. I'm sure league Sunday will do it

There were two lengthy stoppages. The first was exactly 2 minutes. The second was for 90 seconds. So whatever you want to say about the ref, the 3.30 played in excess of the stated stoppage time, he got that spot on.

Quote from: joemamas on February 09, 2020, 02:34:48 PMIn fairness Diarmuid O'Connor should have conceded a penalty to Meath before that. Inconsistent refereeing very frustrating to watch.
Hudson is a dodgy ref.
How did Fergal Borland not get a free.
He is giving Meath a fair amount of easy frees.

Galway not up to it this week, very poor first half. Again the shooting has been extremely bad percentage and execution wise, Donegal look to be fairly comfortable and should run out easy enough winners based on the match so far with that wind to come.

If and when Kevin McLoughin retires from Mayo, they should put an asterisk next to him name for this game.
1-2 was his tally, in last seven minutes against a gale , it was also Mayo's total tally for the second half.
Unless Mayo improve from 10-15, they will find it hard to get any more points in this division.
But a win is win.........

It will be a learning experience for Clifford. Not to say he wasn't doing anything himself, but Tyrone got exactly what they would have wanted out of that. And just as Kerry had gotten a man advantage themselves, that could well have been the losing of the game, and changes the complexion of the league table.
Clifford didn't go off quiet though, some shouting done to the officials after.

Yer shot selection was diabolical, 14 tried to kick a point from the wing, literally on the sideline. Ridiculous
The meath medics were worked hard in the first half, f**k me but it was brutal
i wouldn't normally say anything but I thought in the first half in particular the ref gave everything to Meath. Very frustratingly he would blow for a free for one thing and two seconds later the same foul would be let go

The medics work hard in Mayo too. Never seen a team get so many head injuries in each game. Between game in tralee and league final last year about 6/7 lads went down holding head in each game.

In contrast Tyrone engineered an execution, a brilliant mark and point scored by McCurry, who probably woke up this morning still grinning widely.

Donegal engineered at least three scoring opportunities at the end of the game by recycling patiently. One was scored (then disallowed) and Murphy should really have scored that free at the end to level it.

That free slightly inside the lateral path was a foul on McHugh but cheaply conceded, but that was only a chance to level the game at the death.
We'll see how that tactic works against Monaghan and Tyrone, from a Monaghan perspective I'm glad we're shod of it.

And what about the disallowed point before that and the other free they missed? You were comparing Tyrone working an opportunity for a score to Donegal's approach. My point is that Donegal engineered three scoring opportunities while they were a point down at the end of the game, they just didn't score any (well one was disallowed.)
Do you think for some reason they are the only team that recycle the ball laterally to draw out a packed defence?

Just on the subject of Daly, listening to Anthony Moyles on OTB AM this morning, he had clearly only watched the highlights on TV last night and basically from the one clip of the 2nd Donegal goal formed the opinion that "Galway have issues at 6" when nothing could be further from the truth.
It's absolutely laughable that GAA pundits continue to spoof away with these guessed generalities, ex-players should know vastly more than the punters in the stands and it's this insight and accumulated knowledge that we want to hear, just say you didn't see the match fully and provide the analysis on the games that you did. In contrast I did note from Aidan O'Rourke's coaching column for RTE that he highlighted Galway's "scramble defence" as not good enough throughout the Kerry match and especially for the last two Kerry scores that clinched it. He outlined John Daly's slow reaction to the developing attacks for both scores, having watched it back I think it's harsh to pin the blame with Daly (particularly for Spillane's point) but at least there's a solid analysis made to back up the critique, more of that please.

While Cliffords red card was disgraceful arguably the worst decision of the weekend went almost unnoticed. Meath should have had a penalty in the first half when they were denied a goal by a blatant foot block by I think O'connor. RTE didn't even show a replay of the incident but I'd recorded it and it's actually a blatant and dangerous foot block.

I didn't think it was a foot block either but I thought it was a penalty as (I think) you can't kick the ball while another player is in possession of it?

I've been watching Monaghan play it for years and v Donegal on what feels like umpteen occasions.
I have a fairly good appreciation of Donegal's lateral patient possession game.
See how it goes against Tyrone and Monaghan.

100% agree with this, it's ridiculous at this time of year. There's only 2 or 3 games televised each weekend so fair enough that pundits won't have seen every game, but they should stop analysing teams as if they have. For the Sunday Game at the weekend just past Pat Spillane and Ciaran Whelan were standing on the pitch directly after the Meath Mayo game supposedly providing analysis on other games that had literally just finished all across the country. They obviously hadn't seen the games and I'd be surprised if they had even seen much highlights. So Pat was spouting general platitudes such as 'Galway are really playing with the shackles off under Joyce'.
Another example is Eoin Sheehan on OTBAM last week, when analysing Tyrone he said they were the only team still playing puke football. How he came to this conclusion when neither of Tyrone's first two league games had been televised I don't know. Had he been at either, particularly the Meath game, he would know Tyrone have actually been experimenting with pushing up on teams more aggressively and have been wide open in defence at times as a result.
Quote from: joemamas on February 11, 2020, 01:51:53 PMOn their pitchside cameo, I found it more interesting to watch a chilled out and grinning Ciaran in the background while Pat was speaking.Quote from: bigpackiechestout on February 11, 2020, 09:38:22 AMQuote from: An Fhairche Abu on February 10, 2020, 06:35:13 PM

Pat has been basically collecting a check for the last number of years from RTE and whoever else still buys in to his cliches.
He is beyond poor, laughable even. I put more effort into homework in junior infants.
He desperately needs a certain number of soundbites, irrespective of context, relevance or value add.
A blatent example of this was last year, after a leinster championship or qualifier game, some poor players father passed away the week of the game,
Ciaran Whelan was doing a good job providing a fairly detailed analysis of the game, The bold Pat, cuts him off mid analysis- mid-sentence, and declares " I just want to say it was a credit to X playing today after his father passing. Ciaran Whelan looked at him as if to say ( "WTF, you couldnt have waited 30 seconds to say that).

Great summary as usual from AFA. I was delighted to see Sean Kelly start at corner back, mentioned it on here previously that I thought he'd be good in that role and he didn't let us down; He was excellent defensively and popped up with a brilliant goal. Heaney had his hands full with Jamie Brennan and he struggled at times marking him but in fairness he won't be marking too many like Brennan throughout the year, as usual Heaney is the man you'd want going through on goal.
Kicckouts continue to be a problem and will need serious work between league and championship, Galway did well on Paton's kickouts but the wind likely played its part though; Comer made a difference second half and got his hands on every ball that come his way.
I thought O'Donnell had a poor first half, kicked the ball away on several occasions. Perhaps I'm been very harsh but I think on a summer days on a good pitch his lack of speed of the mark will come back to haunt us. Steede was anonymous, not sure how many more chances he'll get and D'Arcy will have to do more to keep himself in the team. Cooke is a big loss especially given the way Galway are playing. Boyle extremely lucky to stay on, PJ must see something in him but we've yet to see it yet. I liked that 2nd point Finnerty kicked, he didn't need much space to get his shot away; I still think he's got a bit of developing to do physically.
Walsh is just a joy to watch, lets hope he keeps this up as there's only a few players who can match him for talent.

I've seen a bit of talk in the media about Conor McKenna returning from the AFL and him having an impact for Tyrone and its not coming from Tyrone people either. I have it it was 2013 when he was a minor the last time he actually played a game?

One of the lads I play a bit of football with is a referee and we had a discussion on it a good while back, his interpretation was that if the blocker's foot made contact with with ball while it was still in contact with the kickers foot it was a stonewall free. However if the ball had left the kickers foot and the blockers foot then made contact with the ball he generally wouldn't whistle it up. Didn't see the incident myself so can't give an opinion on it but just thought I'd mention one ref's interpretation.

TG4 have scheduled deferred coverage of the Monaghan Mayo game, sometime after the Galway Tyrone game.
Usually Mayo supporters can't stop nattering about all things Mayo, perhaps cowed into silent apprehension about Sunday's encounter?

It's a massive game for Mayo. Lose and I think we'll be in Division 2 next year. I'm not expecting a Mayo win given the Donegal and Meath performances. You can make an allowance for the Dublin game, but I think Dublin would have upped the tempo anyway in the second half if we had the fifteen for the whole game. The younger forwards badly need to step up to the plate this weekend for us to have any chance of getting anything out of this one.

Just can't see how we can win it on present form, very disjointed , terrible gameplan , I can't even see a pattern to it at all , it's very free for all stuff, Aido taking that sideline in Navan summed it up for me . Monaghan are extremely tough and very fit for this time of year , could possibly open us up for a right thrashing but knowing our bucks and their desire to be so mercurial, we will probably win with a headed goal from Robbie Hennelly in the tenth min of injury time .

Ian Burke's 2019 form in a Galway jersey was terrible, if he plays at a 2018 level then he'll be a massive addition but he has it all to do to get back to that standard.
Farragher has done absolutely nothing yet at inter county and was piss poor against Mayo last July but in fairness he hasn't got too many opportunities outside of that either.
John Daly must be injured, big loss for Sunday as he's been outstanding so far this year.
Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on February 18, 2020, 11:25:38 PMDaly picked up a knock (ankle I think) against Donegal so out for this weekend it seems. His direct replacement needs to start showing some form at IC level as his last outing in a Galway jersey was very poor indeed.

For sure Farragher was poor but he also needs to have a much better attitude - what he displayed last July below in Limerick is just not acceptable at this level. His issue was probably with KW, but nonetheless he was like a spoilt brat!

Midfield and forwards look fairly good considering our absentees but a very inexperienced backline.

Is the mayo/Monaghan game on Sunday likely to go ahead or how is clones pitch in wet weather?

Bonner says the new rules surrounding the advanced mark and sin-bin, along with the continuous struggle surrounding timekeeping, must be remedied.
"I don't think the rules are suiting anyone. They aren't doing anything for the game," said Bonner.
"The advanced mark is so confusing. It hasn't been what it was meant to have been with that aerial ball going in. It is slowing the game down. It is definitely not enhancing it.
"The black card isn't serving its purpose either. There are teams just taking advantage of stopping the game. Ten minutes after a black card, you are lucky to get two or three minutes of football played. The game is just so stop-start.
"Over the last couple of years, it has got to being an attacking game of football. Last year there were some epic games in the championship. I don't see why that has to be changed. It is just adding an element of confusion.
"Also, timekeeping at the end is adding more on top of that. The installation of a hooter, it needs to come in. There are four or five minutes put up on a board and then you are playing nine or ten.
"They are only small things and they can be dealt with very easily.".

Quote from: Captain Obvious on February 22, 2020, 08:38:37 PMRubbish. Michael Murphy and to a lesser extent Ryan McHugh carry that team. Felt sorry for the keeper. His kickouts were a majot factor in Donegal building up their lead. Shouldn't be blamed for the defeat. There is a lack of bottle in that Donegal team. In big games the last few years they've collapsed when the pressures on.

Was wondering the exact same thing. It was disgusting but sure it will never recieve the same attention. 4 of the 7 minutes were stopped but the ref played only 1 minute of extra time. Unlike last week when the dubs were losing the red played until they got a draw

Take off your anti dublin blinkers. Donegal players were going down consistently in the 1st half grabbing their head even though they hadn't been touched anywhere near their head. Donegal players disappeared in 2nd half when they needed scores.

Galway playing some great football. Hope they keep playing like this in c'ship too. McCurry is playing some stuff from Tyrone too. Some very clever passing from him.
Still tying to get my head around how that was a straight red
Made aggressive contact with Galway man's jaw, that's why. Right call in my opinion.
If you honestly think that was red you should stick to non contact sports in all seriousness

His shoulder connected with the Galway lads jaw. Stone wall red and easy decision for the ref. Disappointed the Galway player wasn't taken off. It's a joke the way concussion is ignored by all teams in the GAA

Shoulder hit his chest/shoulder never his jaw. If that hit his jaw he would have been knocked out

Deleted. I would say while not every ref would give a red card for that most would. It is certainly not close to the worst decision ever. If I were a Tyrone man I'd be frustrated with mcgeary's discipline. Again it was poor. The elbow was up too.

You could see the bone coming out through his sock there.
Think McAliskey had a similar injury with Clonoe a few years back.

Ya looks a bad break/dislocation.
Will definitely need surgery and can't see him being involved this year now as a result. Best wishes to him as you say.
Leaves Tyrone in a bad way going forward.
The surface in Tuam is very, very bad. The ground completely gave way on him coming down there.
Conor Lane was absolutely scandalous today, think it was after he did everything he could for Galway against Derry a few years back that Brian McIver packed management in at county level. Tyrone will rue the missed chances in the first half before the red card though.
The impact of red cards in comparison to say 15/20 years ago now is huge, the game is all based around possession and space so if you're down a man for a extended period of time then you are up against a serious task. So if referees have to make a decision like they that they have to be sure which made Lane's decision even more laughable. I'd say every game played across the weekend had a more obvious red card offence not given than that today.

The 2 red cards given to tyrone were correct and obvious decisions. I don't think you'll find any neutrals backing you up. The mcgeary tackle was a very dangerous one. Genuinely hope the mcshane injury isn't as bad as it looked.

The first red card was a crazy decision. The Galway player turns into McGeary's shoulder. If you are giving red cards for that then you will have to remove the shoulder charge form the game, it is either or.

Look I am not 100% sold it's a red but a lot of times it would be given. It wasn't much different to Hogan in the all Ireland hurling final.
If you think that decision was ludicrous then I suggest your objectivity could be called into question. It may have been debatable but it was not ludicrous. Imo many refs would have given that.

I generally am as fair as they come. If it was the other way round I would have expected Galway to get a yellow for it. But there is alot of people talking about this mysterious elbow. The still is at the moment of contact and no elbow was raised is the point I am making.
Anyway still think tyrone would have lost without the red cards. Galway were just too good on the day. That pitch needs a make over though looked very unsafe. Seen alot of players falling over which, anyone of them could break an ankle.

The still isn't at the point of contact. The Galway boy's head is jarred back from the contact so it is definitely after the contact.

Incorrect, Richie Hogan was sent off for an elbow to the head - not a shoulder.
Michael Murphy could have been sent off in the opening minutes last night after he left his elbow.
Leaving your elbow out is not a shoulder. McGeary has his elbow tucked in by his ribcage and it is not in play.
You are clearly imagining an eblow at play here, it's nowhere at all in any replay or still shot.
It's a ridiculous and unprecedented red card.

SANCTIONS RELATING TO ILLEGAL CHARGE/COLLISION DETERMINED BY THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA
• If contact is made to an opponent's head
• If opponent has no opportunity to protect himself
• If contact/impact is excessive or causes injury
• If the elbow/forearm/hurley is part of the contact
• If the player making contact had a realistic alternative by way of challenging opponent
• The direction and distance covered by the player who makes contact

• If the elbow/forearm/hurley is part of the contact
• If the player making contact had a realistic alternative by way of challenging opponent
• The direction and distance covered by the player who makes contact
I would say that the key factor was the fact that the opponent has no opportunity to protect himself and was pretty much blindsided by McGeary.
I think McGeary wasn't helped by the fact that his elbow was some bit up prior to contact and popped up a bit when the contact was made, even though from what I saw watching the game back it didn't make any contact at all. It probably falls into the categpry of slightly harsh, but given McGeary opted to play the man as opposed to the ball, I wouldn't have huge amounts of sympathy for him.
The bit about "contact/impact being excessive" is a terrible bit of wording on a rule.
Can anyone explain how one ref is mean to interpret this consistently, never mind different refs ?
On a related note, I'd love to see the stats on how effective the shoulder as a skill is in game - in a serious amount of cases it seems to end up being a free to the player in possession.
Some players seem to love attempting tackles but all too often I think players would be far likelier to win the turn-over if they focused on the ball.
If McGeary had tackled the ball in this situation, I think there is strong odds he would have dispossed the Galway player, given the Galway player has the ball in a somewhat exposed position and is only holding it with one hand and McGeary is pretty much blindsiding him.

Nightmare. Hope he has no long term issues over it
That is McShane's season over.
You could see the bone coming out through his sock there.
Think McAliskey had a similar injury with Clonoe a few years back.
Ya looks a bad break/dislocation.
Will definitely need surgery and can't see him being involved this year now as a result. Best wishes to him as you say.
Leaves Tyrone in a bad way going forward.
The surface in Tuam is very, very bad. The ground completely gave way on him coming down there.
Conor Lane was absolutely scandalous today, think it was after he did everything he could for Galway against Derry a few years back that Brian McIver packed management in at county level. Tyrone will rue the missed chances in the first half before the red card though.
That was the qualifier game that Galway won pulling up by double scores? Yeah he made the difference that day alright
It was the qualifier game where he denied Derry a stonewall penalty with 3 points between the teams in the final ten minutes and which Galway then went straight up the pitch and scored a goal.
He was definitely the difference that day.
Tyrone threw away 4 or 5 goal chances in that first half, when the red card came in the first half and us trailing by 5 it was game up.
Lane was atrocious.

Thank God the Tyrone sending off is the topic of the day because Mayo were awful, bloody awful today. I haven't seen a performance that bad in a long while. I expected us to lose. But to be outscored by 2-11 to 0-5 in the second half, well you know the rest. I hope James Horan learns at least this ONE THING: don't start Jordan Flynn against Kerry, Galway or Tyrone. Nothing really against him, but he literally cannot make any physical contact with any opposition player or there'll be some kind of card handed out. Unfortunately our lack of underage success is coming home to roost.
Quote from: Farrandeelin on February 23, 2020, 06:32:24 PMIt didn't look a strong Mayo team and I guessed they would run out of steam after their first half strenuos efforts at pressing Monaghan in their own half. It was a soft red card card but Monaghan scored an immediate goal to go 5 points up, the game was over then for Mayo, the end points tally academic. The ref was annoying in constantly disturbing the flow of the game. I thoght that pony tailed one for Mayo was fortunate not to get a straight red card for the deliberate elbow tackle, it was funny to hear the crowd give a collective gasp at the imact.

The clash with Ryan McHugh should have been a black card for Small who clearly blocked the follow on run by McHugh. But Small cleverly deceived Deegan by falling down holding his head. The medical team were of course required to complete the deception
Donegal better team in the first half. If I was a Donegal fan I'd be worried about their players obsession with their hair. The amount of times a donegal player gets tackled and goes down grabbing his head/hair

While the collapse in the final quarter was disappointing, you have to bear in mind the number of probable starters we were missing today, these include Brendan Harrison, Chris Barrett, Matthew Ruane, Cillian O Connor, Fionn McDonagh, Jason Doherty and James Carr. No other division one team has an injury list like this at the moment. We'll be a totally different team come championship and all analysis at the moment has to take account of this

The ref can only act on what has been seen by him or reported by his officials, not on a scenario he makes up in his own head. I can't understand how they can suggest that.

Is this actually a wind up? Cillian Connors? i persume you mean Cillian O Connor, Not a chance does he deserve an All Star on this years form he has only played a hand full of games. If he has an exceptional semi final and Final yeah maybe but not within an asses roar at the minute.
Brendan Harrison got roasted in a good few games in this years championship. Against both Roscommon and Kerry he was taken to the cleaners.
Connors have been most consistent forward in last month. Harrison want too bad against Kerry.

McGeary one was a red card all day long - cant connect with a mans head especially at that sort of speed.
McShane is a serious loss - while the Galway lads gave him a hard time yesterday (fairly most of the time I might add) it would be a different story with the dry sod.
Hopefully all goes well and he gets back later in the season.
PJ has Galway playing some lovely football - long may it continue.

It is and I have no qualms with that but if you are giving red cards for lads being a split second late with a shoulder tackle then they should not be allowed.
In football nowadays if your two feet leave the ground in a tackle, it's red card irrespective of whether the ball is played or not. If they are going to justify the decision to send McGeary off like that then they can't defend the use of a shoulder challenge.
It's a yellow card at most, it's fair attempt to hit him a shoulder, the Galway player changes direction at the last second and gets caught. I've heard people going on about elbows being used but they have some imaginations to see an elbow there.
There has to be leeway that sometimes players are going to be a split second late, particularly with the pace of the game now.

It comes down to whether what McGeary did was either reckless or dangerous.
It was genuine attempt to hit a legitimate shoulder, his stance in executing the shoulder was textbook for a legitimate shoulder challenge but his timing was a split second out.
A genuine attempt to execute the shoulder charge but the timing was out by a fraction, a yellow card would have sufficed. If referees are deeming legitimate tackles that could be out by a fraction as reckless and dangerous then those tackles should be outlawed completely from the game, otherwise policing it becomes an absolute minefield.
It's frustrating as the impact red cards have in the game today is monumental. I think we were 5 points down at that time but we were still well in the game, we had carved Galway open for at least three goal chances by then and hit the post 4 times.
Referees need to be absolutely certain when issuing a red card, there's no way Lane could have been.

You said it comes down to whether what he did was reckless or dangerous. It can be said with certainty that what he did was dangerous. His shoulder made sickening contact with the Galway players jaw and he definitely looked concussed. It was just pure luck he didn't suffer a broken jaw or a bad concussion. Oisin mcconville summed it up last night when he said it was an unnecessary type of tackle because he'd have been much better off trying to tackle or strip the ball.

Red card or not, it was one decision and not worth the time discussing it in so much detail as the reality was we were getting a trimming in that game regardless in my eyes. We were so poor. I lost count of the number of misplaced side wards passes that were cut out by a Galway player. We were so far off the pace it was unbelievable.

His shoulder did not make contact with the Galway player's jaw.

If you are giving a red card for that then you have to outlaw the shoulder challenge
It's supposed to be shoulder to shoulder. Once it's executed correctly it's one of the most pleasurable tackles in the Game.
You correct though, it's a fine line for the tackler. Love watching this one!

It is and I have no qualms with that but if you are giving red cards for lads being a split second late with a shoulder tackle then they should not be allowed.
In football nowadays if your two feet leave the ground in a tackle, it's red card irrespective of whether the ball is played or not. If they are going to justify the decision to send McGeary off like that then they can't defend the use of a shoulder challenge.
It's a yellow card at most, it's fair attempt to hit him a shoulder, the Galway player changes direction at the last second and gets caught. I've heard people going on about elbows being used but they have some imaginations to see an elbow there.
There has to be leeway that sometimes players are going to be a split second late, particularly with the pace of the game now.
He was unlucky - a second earlier and there is no head contact.
It comes down to whether what McGeary did was either reckless or dangerous.
It was genuine attempt to hit a legitimate shoulder, his stance in executing the shoulder was textbook for a legitimate shoulder challenge but his timing was a split second out.
A genuine attempt to execute the shoulder charge but the timing was out by a fraction, a yellow card would have sufficed. If referees are deeming legitimate tackles that could be out by a fraction as reckless and dangerous then those tackles should be outlawed completely from the game, otherwise policing it becomes an absolute minefield.
It's frustrating as the impact red cards have in the game today is monumental. I think we were 5 points down at that time but we were still well in the game, we had carved Galway open for at least three goal chances by then and hit the post 4 times.
Referees need to be absolutely certain when issuing a red card, there's no way Lane could have been.
You said it comes down to whether what he did was reckless or dangerous. It can be said with certainty that what he did was dangerous. His shoulder made sickening contact with the Galway players jaw and he definitely looked concussed. It was just pure luck he didn't suffer a broken jaw or a bad concussion. Oisin mcconville summed it up last night when he said it was an unnecessary type of tackle because he'd have been much better off trying to tackle or strip the ball.
That makes no sense whatsoever. What McGeary did do was a textbook shoulder challenge that was mistimed as a fraction. If you deem tackles like that in the game to have the potential to be highly dangerous or reckless if mistimed by the nth degree then you simply have to ban it wholesale. The GAA allow for shoulder tackles to be used, therefore they can't deem them reckless or dangerous if they are genuine attempts and mistimed by a fraction. It's fairly straight forward, as usual you can't leave you bias and bitterness at the door. We all know you'd be singing off a completely different hymn sheet if the roles were reversed.
His shoulder did not make contact with the Galway player's jaw. the player was not concussed and was up on his feet looking sprightly shortly after and was checked over by medical staff. At least have the manners to talk about things that actually happened rather than letting your imagination run wild.
Quote from: Angelo on February 24, 2020, 10:24:34 AMSeriously man - are you blind?

Anyone know why Matty Ruane is not playing at the moment? Along with Foinn McDonagh he was the pick of the new hopefuls last season and Mayo needs inspiration from somewhere right now.
A few promising kids there right now but there's no David Clifford among them.Harrison, O'Connor, Higgins etc. etc. may be pressed into action from here on but if they are out through injury, there will be questions about their match fitness.

Rumour has it McDonagh was cut from panel for indiscipline issue , I haven't a notion if true or not but kinda believe it cause he's not been involved so far . Ruane is injured afaik but again there is rumours the oz invite is in the post for himself and Mullen .

If you'e going to hit someone with the shoulder you better be making sure you make contact with his shoulder and not his head otherwise you're going to get the line. He was unlucky in terms of being a fraction out with his timing but you can't afford to be a fraction out with a challenge like that, there's always the danger a player in possession will move his head which indeed happened.

That outlook makes a mockery of the current rules in the game.
The GAA are basically sanctioning players to commit tackles that could cause dangerous injuries if mistimed by the slightest of margins.
Either the shoulder tackle has to be outlawed or you have to allow some leeway in situations like that.

Everyone loves the big shoulder hit, and it's great for a player when they connect with one fairly. But the rules on it are very clear. You go for that big shoulder hit, you 100% have to connect correctly. If you're even a milisecond mistimed, or if the forward is a fraction too quick for you (as Brannigan was yesterday), then you're in trouble. It's happened time and time again. Happened to his own teammate Niall Morgan against the dubs last year, happened to Richie Hogan in the Hurling final. You go for the big hit, you run the risk of getting it wrong. Or do as Oisin McConville said on league Sunday last night, leave the ego aside and go for a tackle that's much safer and more efficient.

Richie Hogan was sent off for elbowing his opponent, not for a mistimed shoulder - it was premeditated and deliberate act.

The league table and McShane's injury would be far bigger issues you should be worried about. If it was Mickey Harte going on about it like you, then you might think he was just trying to take attention away from the manner of the defeat. Galway were dominating that game and the red cards merely meant the margin of victory was bigger than if Tyrone could have kept 15 men on the field

Aidan O'Rourke's column from the RTE website;
Typically, one defender is squeezed out the back of the middle to sit in as a cover player and everyone else gets to work pressing. Sean Mulkerrin filled that role more often than not against Tyrone and that has reinforced the Galway rearguard considerably. Earlier in the league John Daly filled this role and struggled with the decision making required to be effective.

That part had me scratching my head. I thought John Daly was arguably man of the match in 2 of Galway's first 3 games.

Farragher in for the start, can't go any worse for him than his last appearance in the county jersey whatever else happens.

One thing that is evident - we need to do something about our own kick outs.

Farragher in for the start, can't go any worse for him than his last appearance in the county jersey whatever else happens.
Possibly Pj trying out combinations.
I think Daly has the number 6 shirt nailed on - O'Donnell, Silke, McDaid and Molloy probably fighting for the 2 starting wing back slots.
I know they have no points on the board but I think this is a very tricky game for us - especially immediately after Tyrone given the margin of victory.
One thing that is evident - we need to do something about our own kick outs.
We will be targeted there by the big boys later in the year.
Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on February 26, 2020, 08:48:06 AMYeah I was at a qualifier in 2011 in Navan also where we lost by a point. Cormac Bane had a goal chance in the last few seconds one v one with the keeper but it was saved.Quote from: galwayman on February 26, 2020, 07:02:05 AM

Galway have no win in 40 years in Navan apparently so it's not a happy hunting ground!
It's a stat that should have been put to bed in 2017 however when Galway somehow contrived to lose by a point despite being a good bit the better team in the second half, Danny Cummins missed a tap in goal chance when Galway were three up, Meath goaled near the end to win.
Kick out strategy and execution remains a fairly sizeable issue alright, we haven't seen much of an improvement in this area from the start of the year. Gleeson does bring a lot between the posts outside of this in fairness to him but it's probably the most important factor for a goalkeeper these days.
Quote from: GaillimhIarthair on February 26, 2020, 09:39:02 AMMolloy mentioned injuring his shoulder in an interview the week after the game so it would make sense alright.Quote from: galwayman on February 26, 2020, 07:02:05 AMMolloy went off injured in the club final so I'm assuming he's injured? He hasn't even featured in a match day squad so far in the league. Gary is extremely unlucky to miss out, was excellent last Sunday and has actually improved this year IMHO.Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on February 25, 2020, 10:22:19 PMGary is unlucky for sure. The man rarely has a bad game for us.
Galway team for the Meath match:
1 Connor Gleeson
2 Seán Kelly
3 Seán Ó Maoilchiaráin
4 Johnny Heaney
5 Liam Silke
6 John Daly
7 Cillian McDaid
8 Ronan Steede
9 Tom Flynn
10 Eamon Brannigan
11 Damien Comer
12 Michael Daly
13 Martin Farragher

Quote from: larryin89 on February 26, 2020, 09:59:25 AMHe has certainly galvanised some of the Galway football public alright. Personally - whilst I'm enjoying watching this team I honestly am not convinced we will do the business in the summer. I would be delighted to be proven wrong of course and maybe that's just the natural cautiousness I have within me re Galway football teams. But I have major doubts as to how we will fare defensively in championship football. Time will tell.

Quote from: larryin89 on February 26, 2020, 09:59:25 AMNow Larry, no need to be getting excited, it's the same few Galway posters and most of us have been around here a long while at this stage! Galway were very poor last year so a new manager in with a good start to the league will always give a bit of a bounce - probably a little extra bounce on this occasion as PJ has a pretty elevated standing in GAA circles based on his playing career and is somewhat media friendly (so far anyway!).

You only have to be best any given year so yeah it could be that Galway are coming good at the right time. The Mayo team is gone and I think Dublin have levelled off and may even be in decline. I think we will have new champions this year. Most likely it will be Kerry but Galway could well be in the right place at the right time again.

"Challenging" is a loose term.
Dublin were never anything other then the most raging hot of odds-on favourites.
But, we could have made a semi or final (where we would have lost) had we not had the (for us) Herculean task of Mayo, who always physically bully the f**k out of us, in Castlebar.
I would place us in the "lots of potential, but still a lot to prove against the very top teams" column. We'll probably be favourites to win Ulster if we get past Tyrone, but below the Kerry and Galway tier after that.

McDonagh is still with the panel , Gary Boylan was released last week , Jason doc is back running , Ruane is only a couple of weeks away and Oisín Mullen will not be visiting Australia this summer .
Overall he came across very well but he's certainly in rebuilding mode imo , seems very impressed with the academy structures , back room team and chairman to boot.

GAAGO has Sunday games Donegal/Monaghan plus hurling Tipp/Waterford and Cork/Galway...I presume all 3 are TG4 presentations.
EirSport have the Saturday football ties Tyrone/Dublin and Mayo/Kerry.
Had a few issues with GAAGO early in the season and sent them an email - they were quick to reply saying watch GAAGO on Google Chrome for best quality (including being able to move forward and backward without any delay).

Quote from: Angelo on February 29, 2020, 09:30:05 PMFunny I saw Tyrone throwing as many if not more than Dublin
That clip obviously doesn't show the full incident but in it, it does show the Tyrone lads standing their ground and a load of Dublin players running into throw punches.
From the TV clip, you could see James McCarthy throwing a few punches and he also struck McKernan in the throat late on in the game which was missed by the referee. No doubt the usual suspects will all try to pin this on Tyrone but Dublin have probably a more evident recent track record of this kind of behaviour.
There was that brawl with Armagh behind closed doors in recent years too. I wonder will the statute of limitations only apply to one county.

No idea how the tunnel incident tonight started or who's to blame but I thought back to last Sunday when PJ deliberately kept the Galway players on the pitch at the HT whistle to ensure that they wouldn't be going into the dressing rooms alongside the Tyrone players, it's definitely one way of avoiding the two teams clashing going back in.

1. David Clarke - Ballina Stephenites
2. Padraig O'Hora - Ballina Stephenites
3. Oisin Mullin - Kilmaine
4. Lee Keegan - Westport
5. Michael Plunkett - Ballintubber

11. Ryan O'Donoghue - Belmullet
12. Diarmuid O'Connor - Ballintubber
13. Kevin McLoughlin - Knockmore
14. Darren Coen - Hollymount/Carramore
15. James Durcan - Castlebar

Crafty Dublin using the tunnel as cover. Lol
They could have got to their dressing room had they wanted to but Tyrone players couldn't but where ready to engage when Dublin came at them.
Greta performance from Tyrone. Better team on the night... Dublin well and truly rattled and the pundits don't like it. Even Marty clarke seemed pro Dublin on the footage I watched.
Tyrone gonna travel the planet recycling ball everywhere?

It's a shame when u see these things. Hampsey gets jumped by a good few Dublin players. And u know that not one of them would handle him one on one in a fair fight.

Actually he or Kevin McStay did mention it, and wondered if the referee was going back in to discuss it with the umpire (he wasn't). In the event they didn't linger on the point as the TV didn't show a clear replay of the incident.

Had to laugh at O'Se and O'Rourke second guessing what was going on in the shemozzle yet speculating that Dublin love beating Tyrone so there must be dirt between them. Also some ridiculous statement was made about the Dublin players being trapped against a fence lol.
The Hampsey black was for an incident leading up to the tunnel punch-up not caught on camera. He was strolling about the tunnel entrance nonchalantly 'accidentaly' body checking Dublin players running in. The linesman brought this to the ref's attention straight away as the more malicious fighting was going on down the tunnel.

That clip obviously doesn't show the full incident but in it, it does show the Tyrone lads standing their ground and a load of Dublin players running into throw punches.
From the TV clip, you could see James McCarthy throwing a few punches and he also struck McKernan in the throat late on in the game which was missed by the referee. No doubt the usual suspects will all try to pin this on Tyrone but Dublin have probably a more evident recent track record of this kind of behaviour.
There was that brawl with Armagh behind closed doors in recent years too. I wonder will the statute of limitations only apply to one county.
The guy in the red top definitely is in diffs from the clip I saw
But hopefully all the protagonists get a lengthy suspension
Doesn't suit well any more with a modern gaa

McCarthy should be looking at a long ban but normal rules are likely to be waived for Dublin in this case, their spin doctors and RTE cheerleaders will be desperately trying to feed the narrative.

Tyrone don't put themselves on the pedestal claiming to play cleaner, prettier and less cynical football than everyone else. We're usually having to defend ourselves from the opposite which is an unfair narrative delivered by the southern press.
The squeaky clean Dubs were shown up tonight once again not to be squeaky clean at all but your spin doctors and cheerleaders have already set the agenda, the James McCarthy incidents will be at the centre of an omerta. Nothing to see here, please move along.

Yes ... I made it up in my head.
Or maybe I was at the game sitting RIGHT ABOVE the tunnel watching Hampsey waiting for the Dubs coming off. He threw the shoulder into one Dublin lad and he just ran on them a few came and when he threw his weight around again it all kicked off but blah blah poor Tyrone!
They were the better team to light but won't count for much in Croke Park come the end of the year the Dubs are hardly too bothered.
Sean Cavanagh reckons Tyrone are to Ulster what Kerry are to Munster or Dublin to Leinster... Tyrone would need to realise there was football before 2003 ::) ::)

It was never as obvious as when the RTE pundits sat in their studio awkwardly staring down at their feet and mumbling after Aidan O'Shea had dived to knock Fermanagh out of the Championship, a year on from them trying to crucify Tiernan McCann for his flop.
If you guys can't take it then you really shouldn't be dishing it out.

I'm a Down man who has a lot of time for both Tyrone and Dublin; however the way both sides targeted Clifford this year was sickening. While both teams have been innovative and exciting, they have also led the way in cynicism and gamesmanship; last night Dublin shaded it but Mickey has a strong claim to leading the decline into where we are.
And Kerry don't target players?
Your response says it all . Something not right in the head with some Tyrone wans , thankfully most are grand.
My response does say it all about the free state narrative.
Don't blame on the jackeens
Don't blame it on the yerras
Don't blame it on the Mayomen
Blame it on the northies

I do see where you're coming from Angelo. The 'puke football' term stuck with ye however. I admit Mayo were as cynical as you could get throughout the last decade.

All the top teams do, you won't get anywhere without bending the rules, Tyrone have been wise to that since 96.
I'm not going to be a hypocrite and cry about the dirt that other teams are at but I do have a serious problem with the imbalance in reporting. Every other county has a statute of limitations with their past indiscretions, whereby RTE pundits have selective amnesia when it comes to the indiscretions of Dublin and Kerry in particular but could rhyme off past incidents involving Tyrone players.
I don't think James McCarthy is a particularly dirty or nasty player for instance but there would be a body of evidence in past incidents for pundits and journalists to put forward this claim now. They've gone to town on Tyrone players and teams for less in the past.
Highlighting it and bringing these hypocrisies to light will have the usual suspects tying themselves in their usual cries of whataboutery but that's just the oldest excuse for people who can't square off their contradictions with each other. It's not going to change, the media down south created a bogeyman out of Tyrone and will continue to push that narrative. If the likes of Derry and Armagh were to return to the top table, they will soon find out it won't just stop with Tyrone.
I'm particularly surprised at the Armagh lads, they must have fairly short memories of how their team was portrayed down South during the Kernan years as some sort of sadistic group who were more interested in fighting than playing football.
I'm not surprised at the Derry ones, for a county that seems to stab their legends in the back and always seem to be infighting, the only thing that unites them is their enmity toward Tyrone.

Had to laugh at O'Se and O'Rourke second guessing what was going on in the shemozzle yet speculating that Dublin love beating Tyrone so there must be dirt between them. Also some ridiculous statement was made about the Dublin players being trapped against a fence lol.
The Hampsey black was for an incident leading up to the tunnel punch-up not caught on camera. He was strolling about the tunnel entrance nonchalantly 'accidentaly' body checking Dublin players running in. The linesman brought this to the ref's attention straight away as the more malicious fighting was going on down the tunnel.
So Hampsey started it?!
Most definitely!!! Not sure what the black card was for?? Deliberate body collide??
There is something really priceless about the mindset of the bitter Derry wans.
Most definitely he says, without even a single shred of evidence to support his rambling nonsense.
Being anti-Tyrone means more to you Derry lads than backing your own county which is very, very sad.
Yes ... I made it up in my head.
Or maybe I was at the game sitting RIGHT ABOVE the tunnel watching Hampsey waiting for the Dubs coming off. He threw the shoulder into one Dublin lad and he just ran on them a few came and when he threw his weight around again it all kicked off but blah blah poor Tyrone!
They were the better team to light but won't count for much in Croke Park come the end of the year the Dubs are hardly too bothered.
Sean Cavanagh reckons Tyrone are to Ulster what Kerry are to Munster or Dublin to Leinster... Tyrone would need to realise there was football before 2003 ::) ::)

Nothing to do with Derry but for Cavanagh to portray Tyrone as the dominant force in Ulster comparing to Dublin and Kerry when Cavan have 39 Ulster's against Tyrones 15 was a particularly hilarious delusion of grandeur!!

Second half was far better but Kerry weren't as pushed either . Aos is just the most incredible individual that has ever played for Mayo , he was immense in second half.
Transition is hard to stomach for us ejits who react with impulse and impatience . Relegation is a disaster imo cause it will mean we are playing weaker opposition during transition for at least a year when you want these lads playing the top flight in year two of the rebuild. It is what it is though , nowt can be done now .

Up to five points now with a much superior points difference to Mayo. Point from last two games SHOULD do it.
Black cards ended the game as a contest. Not sure Monaghan were at leaving McBrearty all alone for Beggan to drag him down 25 yards out.

1-5 to 0-2 at half time in Ballyshannon.
Monaghan will have the wind in the second half.
McManus doesn't look fit at all, although the wet, slippy conditions are making it hard to gather any ball that goes in to any forward.
The Ward goal and a couple of fine points from Langan at the end made it a much better scoreline for Donegal.

They made little of the wind disadvantage, even your goalie got good milage out of his kickouts against the wind.
I thought Monaghan did alright except when it came to passing the ball in the last 1/3, they just couldn't get it into their game that the pitch was a bog with absolutely no bounce and adjust accordingly.

Bar a 3 minute cameo by one of them at the end of the Donegal game, all 3 have been poor. They aren't even close to the standard unfortunately. Not sure what Horan is looking at, if he's looking at anything at all. I fully expect him to play all 3 again in Galway and again all 3 will be substituted.

On the other hand, some of the newer players are showing potential and sooner or later, he will have to let a raft of the old guard go. Unless he bloods replacements in, he will be in even more trouble than he is right now.
I thought a few likely lads showed up last year and this year to date has been even more promising. We have always had problems getting youngsters to mature enough to play at championship level but the last few years, and this one especially, there has been quite a few.
Ossian Mullin looks the real deal already and Tommy Conroy, Towey, O'Donoughe and a few others are developing nicely. Throw in Matty Ruane and probably Fionn McDonagh from last year and things are looking good for the future.
Maybe not too good at present but dammit!, Tiocfaidh ar lá arís very soon. ;D

For one of those three you mention, it was only his second start of the year. While he was poor today, he was decent the last day and had a very good season last year.
Another one of them played a lot of today in the full forward line...way out of position. I wouldn't be writing him off just yet.

This was the worst day out for the Galway kick outs yet, I'm only slightly exaggerating when I say that the main reason Galway nearly lost that match today was our kick outs. The number of scores Meath got from unforced Galway errors on the restarts had to be seen to be believed. This was really reinforced when after Meath got a point to bring it back to two points late on, the next one was a crucial kickout, exactly the time for Galway to pull out a prepared manoeuvre to guarantee possession from the restart. Instead a really tame, poor short and low kickout to Mulkerrin (I think) who had to go very low to gather with a Meath player already on top of him, he fouled the ball resulting in a tap over free in for Meath and a one point match. At that stage one Galway supporter in my vicinity questioned "Are they practising them at all?", I'm sure they are but it was easy to see why the question was asked.
Even on a time when Galway won a great mark from D'Arcy, he then proceeded to hand pass it straight to a Meath player under no pressure and 20 seconds later it was in the Galway net. Meath did much better on engineering short kickouts in the second half into a huge breeze than Galway did at any point during the match. It's just down to pumping it out long and hoping for the best at the moment, there's blame both on Gleeson who is not quick enough to see some of the opportunities that are there and on the management for not putting in place some better system for the outfield players to engineer space for themselves.
It is the number one issue that needs to be rectified for me, the likes of Dublin in high summer would destroy Galway on their current kick out strategy.
Big wind in Navan which Meath had for the first half but even playing into that, Galway started very poorly and Meath were the much better team for the first 25/30 minutes before Galway started to make any inroads, this was the time of the match that would frustrate Meath fans most, they should have really put themselves into an unassailable position. To be honest Galway were blessed to go into the changing rooms only 4 points down although we had started to play a bit better down the stretch of the first half.
A lot of players were sub par for Galway today, it was a really lethargic showing in general. Meath had great success running and handpassing through the middle of the Galway defence. Daly didn't hold the centre as well as he has in previous matches, he had a couple of nice tackles but way down on his standard to date but he was accompanied by a good number of other Galway players who didn't play up to standard.
In all fairness to him Paul Conroy came on in the 27th minute and basically won that game for Galway today. He's been knocking around for a long time now but that was one of his finest ever performances in the maroon and white.
Won two vital frees to get things going in the first half, took a fine mark and score, passed Steede in for the goal and his final score from play was an absolute beauty from near the side terrace in the corner, just lightly caressed the side footed kick of the ball towards the goal judging the wind to perfection.
People may call it harsh on Farragher to get such a quick hooking but subbing him for Conroy was the winning of the game, Galway turned it completely around for the following twenty five minutes either side of the HT whistle to hit 1-6 without reply.
It was a very tough station for anyone in the FF line in the first half but even so Farragher's work rate and run making for his team mates looking to play the ball in was nowhere near the standard required. Varley was far better at providing an outlet. The one ball he did take from a kick pass was in his hand for about a half second because he didn't feel the defender coming for the tackle and he lost it straight away. In contrast the first ball Conroy got it stuck in there and he was fouled for a free in.
Steede starting to show well on the scoreboard and he initially intercepted the misplaced Meath kick pass that led to his goal but he's loose enough in general play, three passes intercepted today and they were ones that should never have been taken on, there's a balance to have between adventure and needlessly giving the ball away.
The absence of Comer was certainly felt out there but D'Arcy did ok considering, he seems quite limited but couldn't fault the effort.
Shane Walsh was in and out of the game but Galway wouldn't have got any result without him either. He threatened to cut loose a couple of times in the second half but his shots and passing was slightly off, his score from play to put Galway one up was another absolutely superb solo score though, real clutch play. Bizarre to me that League Sunday didn't show either it or Conroy's final point on the highlights package this evening, they were the two best scores of the day.
Lot of talk/whinging from McEntee after the match about the cynicism of the Galway players, and certainly from a number of the restarts in the first half Galway players did their best to block and hinder the Meath runners but equally in that first half I saw Johnny Heaney dragged to the ground on a Galway counter attack to stop him going up the pitch. On at least two separate occasions Sean Kelly was dragged into incidents when on a yellow card by Meath players clearly looking to gain the numerical advantage. The locals are going to be one eyed about it but there was two teams at it out there from what I could see.
It all got very heated in the run up to half time when Galway started to get back into the match and being polite I'll just say that some of the Meath fans were somewhat overly raucous in their interjections during this stage of the match, the antics on the sideline from some of the Meath backroom team were of the same character and fuelled the charged atmosphere as well. John Concannon has to take more than a fair share of the blame here as well, needlessly getting involved with incidents on the pitch and sideline.
Having heard McEntee's interview with LMFM after the match, I was really struck by how much his comments post match throughout the league and again today reminded me of every post match interview Cian O'Neill gave during the 2018 league, can the refs really be the cause of every single loss? It's not the same man in the middle for each game so how likely is it?
While it's very easy to understand his frustration at results, particularly today when Meath did play well and deserved some kind of a result, maybe it'd be more worthwhile longer term if he did a better self assessment, did Meath convert enough of their possession dominance in the first half 25 minutes into scores? I would posit that they clearly did not, with the aid of a very stiff breeze why was this? Did he made any - or enough - adjustments when Conroy came into the forward line for Galway and proceed to do absolute wreck? Easy say it's bad luck or the ref instead.
Galway have a mountain of work to do ahead of welcoming our neighbours to Salthill on the 15th but even more so in the longer term. I'm fairly confident in saying that if Galway don't improve on their retention of possession on kick outs moving forward in 2020 that we won't get near as far as PJ wants to go.

Should Horan have made a couple of changes earlier in the game larryin? The subs all seemed to have made an impact when they came on.
He can't keep picking some of those lads that started. Can he?
On the other hand, some of the newer players are showing potential and sooner or later, he will have to let a raft of the old guard go. Unless he bloods replacements in, he will be in even more trouble than he is right now.
I thought a few likely lads showed up last year and this year to date has been even more promising. We have always had problems getting youngsters to mature enough to play at championship level but the last few years, and this one especially, there has been quite a few.
Ossian Mullin looks the real deal already and Tommy Conroy, Towey, O'Donoughe and a few others are developing nicely. Throw in Matty Ruane and probably Fionn McDonagh from last year and things are looking good for the future.
Maybe not too good at present but dammit!, Tiocfaidh ar lá arís very soon. ;D
The names you mention as positive I will give you yeah. In fact I think I mentioned them in an earlier post and would raise you Swanee O Hora as well. They are fairly obvious as well. On the other hand there are lads wheeled out every week that are as obviously not at it at all. These are JH's projects so if he is caught between devil and deep blue sea ....... If you look back at recent panels, there were young lads that were indulged for years that never were good enough.

Meath doing a Kildare on it, said last year after they qualified for the Super 8 they wouldn't win a game for 12 months. Impossible task for a lot of teams to step up. Kildare/Meath's/Cavan's even the Roscommon's of the world.

Due to complete failure to steward properly, I'd say Tyrone will lose home advantage, at least for the game v Donegal, possibly more if Croke Park have the cojones.
I think that was the last Tyrone game due to be played at Healy Park for over a year. Drainage works are due to start soon on the pitch.
Lucky bastrds, Monaghan lost a home advantage fixture in the NFL, for mild shennanigans at half time v Kildare, started by Kildare who had a player red carded.
Wikipedia is wrong, Donegal v Tyrone is in Ballybofey

Horan has done in this league what Rochford
shoul have started 3 years agohould have started 3 years ago bringing genuine change to the team and people have to keep the faith and trust Horan . no one is going to remember relegation if may win the All Ireland and there is the nucleus of a very good new team there and the young lads are getting bett with every Game, new leaders are emerging without the older hands on board .In Particular Coen and Diarmauid along with Aidan are now running the show even with Coen playing out of position he has come on in leaps in bounds this year.
at time the team is not gelling and our kick outs are killing us but Is slowly coming together and I think we will see more of these lads in the summer than you think
Quote from: rosnarun on March 02, 2020, 11:45:58 AMGuessing but he was no.1 player identified at the trials pre Christmas, James Horan in interview on mayonews podcast said "he"ll be playing for mayo in 2020 season".

Quote from: Angelo on March 02, 2020, 11:55:17 AMYeah I would argue we have no nailed on starters to return. Some will say Ian Burke - but honestly he has been very poor for club and county since the end of 2018. If that form continues he won't make the team.
Mayo look to be the most understrength side in the league this year.
Bar Moran, Kerry have pretty much their full deck available.
Bar McShane and Donnelly, Tyrone have pretty much their full deck available now.
Dublin have the likes of McCaffrey, O'Callaghan, Connolly and Cooper to come back in so should also see a decent improvement.
Galway are pretty much at full pelt at the minute, they probably have a few Corofin players to feed back in but not sure how many of them will be certain starters.
Mayo are missing about 4 or 5 certain starters at the minute along with a host more of players who would be pushing strong for places.
Monaghan are more or less at full strength and Donegal have 3 or 4 to come back in.

I see absolutely no justification as to why Dublin should be favourites to win the league.

I agree, If Mayo escape the drop my money would be on Tyrone to go down, I'm expecting Donegal to beat Tyrone and think Monaghan will win of their last 2 games.
Donegal at 20/1 to win the league is a decent outside bet.

It's Hobson's choice I'm afraid.Quote from: Farrandeelin on March 01, 2020, 08:31:35 PM
Should Horan have made a couple of changes earlier in the game larryin? The subs all seemed to have made an impact when they came on.
He can't keep picking some of those lads that started. Can he?
On the other hand, some of the newer players are showing potential and sooner or later, he will have to let a raft of the old guard go. Unless he bloods replacements in, he will be in even more trouble than he is right now.
I thought a few likely lads showed up last year and this year to date has been even more promising. We have always had problems getting youngsters to mature enough to play at championship level but the last few years, and this one especially, there has been quite a few.
Ossian Mullin looks the real deal already and Tommy Conroy, Towey, O'Donoughe and a few others are developing nicely. Throw in Matty Ruane and probably Fionn McDonagh from last year and things are looking good for the future.
Maybe not too good at present but dammit!, Tiocfaidh ar lá arís very soon. ;D
The names you mention as positive I will give you yeah. In fact I think I mentioned them in an earlier post and would raise you Swanee O Hora as well. They are fairly obvious as well. On the other hand there are lads wheeled out every week that are as obviously not at it at all. These are JH's projects so if he is caught between devil and deep blue sea ....... If you look back at recent panels, there were young lads that were indulged for years that never were good enough.
Horan has done in this league what Rochford
shoul have started 3 years agohould have started 3 years ago bringing genuine change to the team and people have to keep the faith and trust Horan . no one is going to remember relegation if may win the All Ireland and there is the nucleus of a very good new team there and the young lads are getting bett with every Game, new leaders are emerging without the older hands on board .In Particular Coen and Diarmauid along with Aidan are now running the show even with Coen playing out of position he has come on in leaps in bounds this year.

Coen was poor against Monaghan but has done well at times during the league. Particularly against Donegal and the 2nd half yesterday. Had several good performances in the championship last year too.
I wouldn't say he's running the show but there's definitely a role for him to play going forward.

Tbh we would need a massive improvement to trouble Galway and that's been honest not beal Bocht . We have been atrocious so far , fluked a draw in Donegal and again very lucky in navan with a late goal against the run of play to sneak it, hammered by Monaghan and we'll beaten by dubs
. So lethargic in yesterday opening half it was soul destroying .
To beat Galway we need cillian back and hopefully fionn mcdinagh too along with James Carr . Mix them up as starters and bench . Eod should start too .
And shur look let's be honest the sight of the maroon and white should always give mayo men a bounce . Ya never. know ,stranger things have happened.

Back-pass rule brings nothing to the game. In fact, it may draw more forwards back into midfield defence in order to create more kick-out options. The full press by most teams is pretty effective and good craic to watch.-don't see why it should be made more difficult for the team trying to come out and attack.
The killing of games is generally done by the half-backs, mid-fielders. If you could eliminate the touchline to touchline passing in the middle third by havin a max pass (foot or fist) count, you would instantly eradicate the 20-30 minutes of boredom that we have to endure in a lot of big games. Poor oul' keepers...

easy way to stop the lateral passing is to allow a good robust tackle,
As long as there is no strike or hold then play on the soccer style shithousery would end very quickly and ease the burden on refs

They'll play a championship, financially it causes all sorts of problems if they fail to have one. In addition to no revenue they'll have to return sponsorship money and ticket money. The final 2 league games can be used as warm up games.
If they have to play an All Ireland final in December they will do.
The club is a different matter though, going to be difficult to complete finals this year.

Maybe the reprieve for Meath isn't quite there yet.
It's a fairly optimistic viewpoint from the GAA here in terms of the time lines but I can see the logic in holding off on scrapping it as long as possible and using the two remaining league games as warm ups for the championship (if it is played at all this year). Bit much to ask teams to go into what will inevitably be a changed and straight knock-out championship format not having played a competitive match in months.

After having fully recovered from a fractured ankle he sustained in the latter part of 2018, Comer is expected to line-out against Mayo next weekend as the 2020 inter-county gets set to resume and, speaking on Off The Ball, the Annaghdown clubman says Joyce has been getting the best out of Galway's stars.
"Anyone who knows Pádraic knows that he is a really confident man," he said.
"He instils that confidence in his players. With him coming in having been a marquee forward who has been there and done it all, his experience is massively telling."
The Tribe forward added: "He is getting the best out of lads. Look at Shane Walsh now and he's playing the best football of his life.
"Padraic has so much invested in Galway football and you know exactly where you stand with him. He will tell you what you're doing wrong and what you're doing right. He will criticise you and he will compliment you and there's no beating around the bush with him.
"If you're performing, he will play you. There's lads now coming in really hot off the club championship and they'll probably be starting against Mayo. His motto is that if you're playing well you will play for Galway."
Quote
The GAA are waiting for an update from the Northern Ireland Executive on crowd restrictions but the Association's Director of Player, Club and Games Administration Feargal McGill confirmed to RTE's Saturday Sport programme yesterday that the Allianz League ties scheduled for the next two weekends "will be played behind closed doors regardless of whether they're in the North or the South."
Quote from: Blowitupref on October 11, 2020, 12:38:35 PMWouldn't take that from it at all, I took it that he was just saying that club form will count for a lot this year but that's just me, didn't see any veiled digs there at all.
Is Comer suggesting Kevin Walsh wasn't getting the best out of the Galway players or picking players on form?

2 long lines running straight at each other for hand pass, pull cones back for kick pass. Was the basis of nearly every training.

Great boost for Galway none the less. Rare you get an All Ireland winner going "outside", he's going in with a blank sheet and what a year to get involved...Calculated risk by all.

Sure if it adds a few percentage points of improvement to performance it would be well worth it I suppose, not a lot to lose really if it doesn't work out and he's not the primary coach involved.
We will have to see whether the Galway team will be named tomorrow night as was the usual case before the National Leagues hit the pause button, certainly John Daly is the biggest loss for Galway since then - after Shane Walsh he was my Galway player of the league - and of course some other players may not be going as well now as they were in the spring. Interesting to see will there be much change to the playing panel and the starting 15 anyway. Confirmed today that Paul Kelly, James Foley and John Maher have been added to the Galway panel.
Mayo seemed to be in big trouble in March but it's a different story now as those matches may as well have been played last year at this point, no better lads with their backs to the wall needing a league win then Mayo so Galway will be wary enough. I've no idea what shape either team will turn up on Sunday to be honest, doubtful many do.

Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on October 13, 2020, 08:57:21 AMShane is irreplaceable full stop. Especially with the form he has shown in 2020.
Safe to say that ye can lump on, news from the Galway camp on the injury front is poor to the point where you'd be thankful that relegation from Division One isn't something that's on the line over the final two league games.
Shane Walsh is injured, currently in a walking boot and "in a race to be fit for the championship" according to the Irish Examiner, so that's Galway's best player out for the foreseeable and given the truncated nature of the season any player with a significant injury is in serious bother. He was shipping serious punishment in the intermediate championship matches so I don't know if it's that shocking to hear that he is coming back to the panel with injuries.
Walsh is not a player that can be replaced to no matter who comes in instead so that's Galway depleated in a major way,you are adding that to the loss of Daly and also Ronan Steede who is out for the league as well, so looking at a lot of starters from the initial 5 games of the league out now, will be interesting to see how Galway setup at least.

Hopefully the 2 lads are back for championship. I'd be worried about Steede though - I know Pj mentioned he got an ankle injury against Mountbellew but he was obviously struggling with a knee all through Corofin's club campaign as well.

Looks like no Moycullen players due to covid?
Quote from: An Fhairche Abu on October 13, 2020, 04:08:24 PMMy understanding of this is that outdoor contacts are considered casual contacts rather than close contacts, so there is no impact on the rest of the county squad. That was my understanding from when the club restarted and I don't believe it's changed in the meantime.
I'm not totally sure of the regulations for inter county teams and COVID-19 but where does this leave the other Galway panel members who may have been training with the Moycullen IC players as recently as last Sunday? What are they required to do now?
Quote from: Manning18 on October 13, 2020, 08:47:15 PM
You'd really worry about Mayo if they can't win this one. Open secret that they were training over lockdown when the majority weren't. 3 weeks since their county finals to try and focus on the relagation battle whereas Galway CB had theirs a week ago. The downside of being a dual county I suppose.
Both teams have injuries but Galway clearly far worse with their best back, best forward and potentially best midfielder all gone. You'd have to think the threat of relegation will be a greater motivation to Mayo than Galway trying to finish top of this interrupted league table.

While im glad to see Oisin Mullen and Tommy Conroy in there thats a very dissapointing team to be sending into a must win game against one of our biggest rivals.Some of the players on that team havent played well in years and some of them have had umpteen chances and just dont look up to it.I can understand not putting in some of the older guard but the likes Of the 2 O Donoghues Padraig O Hora James Carr and Darren Coen should be in here IMO.Going by the club championship some of our more established players have faded and shouldnt be guaranteed starters anymore.Maybe its a dummy team but i doubt it
Quote from: CK_Redhand on October 18, 2020, 09:05:52 AM
Any word on Donegal v Tyrone lineups? With all the hype about McKenna, I don't think this is a good game for a first senior appearance. I'll be interested in Tyrone full forward selection/tactics without mcshane. If we have 2/3 small men rotating between ff targets and runners it's a step back IMO.
Quote from: Farrandeelin on October 18, 2020, 06:47:54 AM
I must say that I'm as surprised as anyone with that team larry and dan. Then again I was as surprised with the Galway selection as well. I wasn't looking forward to the game in March, nor am I expecting anything from the game today. You have to smile at posters here saying 'oh Galway have less of an incentive to win'. For Christ's sake they can still win the league! And relegate Mayo as well into the bargain. That's plenty of ammunition for any team I think. Our record against Galway at all levels is woeful - backdoor game last year aside - recently as well.

It's a shame the GAA gave ye loads of money and make the AI Championship a farce. But hey these things happen. I'll be cheering for ye to win the 6! How are the Dublin GDO's getting paid this year? ;D
Well the dubs are doing their bit for the Mayo economy anyway. People buying their new jersies online from Elverys are getting them shipped from their Castlebar warehouse.
Good to see Mayo are getting something from the dubs off the pitch considering they can't get anything out of them on the pitch

Ah, we've been sponsoring your underage development for a while now from game receipts. We also been supporting your pubs and hotels. And keeping the vendors happy in Croke Park.
If you think 15 people on minimum wage packing a few Dublin Jerseys in Mayo makes up for that, well good luck to you.

Dubs played down in Castlebar pre Covid. Hotels and local hostelries did alright that weekend. They were alot friendlier to the dubs as well.

A fair few of Tyrone's scores have come from Tyrone's lads free in a lot of space/very slack Donegal marking.
Possibly related to Tyrone playing on the counter but definitely something for Donegal to work on.

I must say that I'm as surprised as anyone with that team larry and dan. Then again I was as surprised with the Galway selection as well. I wasn't looking forward to the game in March, nor am I expecting anything from the game today. You have to smile at posters here saying 'oh Galway have less of an incentive to win'. For Christ's sake they can still win the league! And relegate Mayo as well into the bargain. That's plenty of ammunition for any team I think. Our record against Galway at all levels is woeful - backdoor game last year aside - recently as well.
Well the county board clearly saw it as less inventive to win given that they scheduled county finals for 14 days ago. A grand total of 1 player from those games is starting. Mayo's was scheduled weeks ago to help prepare for the relegation fight.
You also then have Mayo training (illegally) over lockdown, admitted to GAA HQ while Galway have only been back a couple of weeks. Who knows what they players think, maybe they'll be motivated but hard see how Mayo won't have a strong fitness and prep edge

Don't know where to start with that match earlier, you'd only be thankful that Galway don't need to get a result next week against Dublin to stay in Division One.
While there always seems to be a blow up collapse game in Galway that can happen at any time, Galway looked worse today than at any point under KW, let that sink in. That was worse than the Tipp semi final or the 2017 Connacht final, that was Mayo 2013 levels of bad today. I don't care about the players missing, you shouldn't get that much of a hiding even if you had to play your U20's.
Galway can't be without him but Comer cannot stay fit, if there was any doubt about his hamstring and he started then it would be criminal from the sideline, you would have to assume that it's a fresh injury issue that likely means he's done for the year if it's as severe as it seems to have been.
No point picking out individual players for criticism as it was a complete failure throughout the pitch, some positions were absolute disaster zones though and anyone with eyes watching it will know who those players were.
Conroy and O'Donnell showed fight but it's piss poor when it's the vets that are the only ones bringing it in a game with the big rivals.
Fair play to Mayo though, played some super football, their new players looked to the manner born and they destroyed the poor level of opposition that was in front of them, they'll more than fancy their chances of staying up next week with another win.

Padraic Joyce didn't waste any words when asked to sum up a humiliating afternoon for him and his Galway players.
"It was a disappointing day, probably the most embarrassing day of my career," he said. "I am 43 years of age and I have never seen a performance as bad, to tell you the truth.
"We were a mile off it. It was like men and boys all day. I will take responsibility for that as the manager of the team. I am not going to throw the lads under the bus.
"I prepared them, I got them on the pitch and I will take full responsibility."
"After 20 mins, we were trying to climb a mountain that we shouldn't have to be climbing. We stood off our men, didn't get involved, didn't make any contact, didn't show anything."
"There were lads at halftime that hadn't even broke sweat."
It was hardly an exaggeration on the Galway manager's part, so poor was their display. In the end, it was their heaviest League defeat to Mayo since 1952 and it might even have been worse as the visitors to Tuam Stadium squandered goal openings in either half. It was difficult to think of one for Galway.
Right from off it was apparent that the teams were on different wavelengths and Mayo slotted three points in the first four minutes. A goal was on the cards before impressive debutant Mark Moran rounded Connor Gleeson for Mayo's first in the 12th minute, by which time Galway had already lost centre-forward Damien Comer (hamstring) and centre-back Johnny Duane (calf).
"That's what happens when you are not tuned in and you are not ready for battle," Joyce spat. "You pick up knocks at centre-back and centre-forward but we were chasing shadows at that stage.
"When you are playing your fiercest rivals, if you need to motivate lads they are in the wrong game," Joyce continued.
"We should not have had to be motivating lads. Mayo were up for the game, I don't know why we could not be up for it. It is a psychological thing."
Quote from: From the Bunker on October 18, 2020, 08:24:14 PMA depressing day to be a Galway fan (and God knows there have been enough of them over the last decade).

A tough day in the office for Galway. Mayo looked more focused today. The reality is Galway are not that bad and Mayo are not that great. Results like this will mean little if Galway have a good championship. Tough game v Dublin to follow, at least it is at home. A decent performance and all will be (nearly) forgotten about this next week.
Doing what P Joyce does is positive and great. But every now and then you need K Walsh moments. When there are leaks everywhere.
Quote from: macdanger2 on October 18, 2020, 10:19:00 PM
Just watched back on the mayo game there, great win but Galway were brutal. I'd say 75-80% of our scores were taken under virtually no pressure so I wouldn't get too carried away. Good that we have our fate in our own hands going into the last match, huge game next weekend against Tyrone.
I thought our kickouts were much improved today, loads of movement which meant Clarke had options although some of that may have been down to Galway being way off it
As an aside, how did Sean Andy not get a yellow for persistent fouling? Him and the keeper have to be worries for Joyce going into championship

As a Maigheo go deo man, I'm very satisfied with today's win but not carried away. Tosach maith leath na h-oibre.
Mayo have been underperforming against Galway for 5 years at least and even if the heron chokers were piss poor today, the monkey has been lifted off our backs if you know what I mean.
Tommy and Matt in particular were newcomers who had mighty games and I know the going will be harder in times to come but they have the talent to go places and without that, no amount of hard graft will make it up for a lack of it.
Ross will not be easy. I would be more confident of beating Tyrone than the sheep shaggers but I'd take nothing for granted. However, yesterday was a good start.

Not much more to add, I left the house in a rage at half time so didn't see the 2nd half. I hope there is mitigating circumstances for that performance.
I thought at the time it was a bad move but didn't the Mayo championship finish 3 weeks before the Galway championship? I don't think Galway had any games prior to yesterday either in comparison to Mayo who had a few. Even so that's no excuse for what we saw yesterday but that's far from ideal preparation, Galway played like a team who trained yesterday morning.
Quote from: macdanger2 on October 19, 2020, 10:29:12 AMIt's handy for Monaghan to have the head to head on both Mayo and Tyrone.
This is how the table looks with one round remaining:
Team P W D L +/- Pts.
Kerry 6 4 1 1 7 9
Dublin 6 3 2 1 8 8
Galway 6 4 0 2 7 8
Donegal 6 3 1 2 22 7
Tyrone 6 3 0 3 -18 6
Mayo 6 2 1 3 1 5
Monaghan6 2 1 3 -1 5
Meath 6 0 0 6 -26 0
Meath gone despite being competitive in most of their 6 games and one from Mayo/Tyrone/Monaghan to follow them.
A win v Tyrone guarantees Mayo stay up; a loss guarantees we go down; a draw means we need Meath to beat Monaghan.
A draw or a win guarantees Tyrone stay up, even a loss would be enough if Monaghan lose
A draw or win guarantees Monaghan stay up since they have both Mayo & Tyrone in the head to head; a loss is enough if Mayo lose
Odds to be relegated:
Tyrone 8/11
Mayo 13/8
Monaghan 9/2
At the top, Kerry look hot favourites (1/5 with the bookies) playing Donegal who are safe, only have an outside chance of topping the table (need Galway/Dublin to draw) and are facing Tyrone in the championship the following week.
Quote from: macdanger2 on October 19, 2020, 01:12:41 PMWorrying Dublin is the absolute last thing on the mind of anyone from Galway, that was a shambles yesterday. Galway had far more fundamental issues in the performance yesterday than the absence of those two players it has to be said.
Any word on Comer's injury? And when is Walsh due back? Without those two, I wouldn't fancy Galway to win Connacht, much less be a worry to Dublin

I think Joyce ay have been a bit too cute for him self on sunday putting out a poor team and met a mayo team well up for it,Quote from: macdanger2 on October 19, 2020, 01:12:41 PMWorrying Dublin is the absolute last thing on the mind of anyone from Galway, that was a shambles yesterday. Galway had far more fundamental issues in the performance yesterday than the absence of those two players it has to be said.
Any word on Comer's injury? And when is Walsh due back? Without those two, I wouldn't fancy Galway to win Connacht, much less be a worry to Dublin
Comer sounds done for the year going by Joyce's post-match comments and either way he has not had a run of matches injury free in a long, long time. Shane Walsh shipped serious punishment in the Intermediate club championship and is carrying various ankle and knee knocks. Keep him in cotton wool until he absolutely must play.
There's another player that needs to be mentioned in terms of injuries as well, you cannot overstate the loss of John Daly to that team really in my opinion and he is done for the year, he has been a consistent and top performer for Galway since he stepped up to Senior in 2019 at a key position. Even in the poor performance to Mayo in the championship last year, Daly was one of the two or three who played well and kept going despite only being the kid of the team.
James Horan is getting back into the early 2010's groove of handing Galway their arses on a plate, his team have completely outfought and outclassed Galway the last two match ups, while not nice to be on the receiving end of it you've have to say it was superb football from Mayo yesterday, it must have been a joy to watch for Mayo fans and neutrals.
Lads there yesterday that have been talked up to the last for their club exploits, Liam Silke has a reputation from the top class club performances which he simply doesn't deserve at IC level, he's been cleaned a load of times. Leonard wasn't even great for Corofin in the club championship this summer, crazy bringing him into the team in poor form. SAOC was put in an impossible position yesterday, isolated with ball after ball coming in due to failures out the field, but he cannot stop fouling, doesn't look to have it at this level.
I felt fairly bad for O'Donnell and Conroy yesterday who were putting in an effort that wasn't in the slightest matched by their comrades.
If Galway get some of the absent players back you'd expect some performance improvement (it's hard to imagine they could ever play worse than yesterday but then you see what's on the horizon next Sunday) but the kick out strategy has been an ongoing issue for years and even in February and March it was noted as a major problem for this setup still, GK is a vital position in the sport these days and although he was in a shambles yesterday Gleeson was a good shot stopper in the other league games this year. His kick outs were not that hot though and they have not improved at all in the interim.

12 week ban on the way for Rory Brennan, apparently Tyrone are appealing.
The precedent is there with Connolly but then Andy Moran got away without anything a few years back.
It was stupid by Brennan so can't really have much complaints but it does show a complete, if anything Moran probably had the most aggressive contact with a referee in all of the incidents.

It was just the ref incident he was sent off for. The ref only double backed on him when he put his hand on him.
Serious neck injury????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Ah ffs, go play ladies football. Michael Murphy would crease himself laughing at that comment. I knew ye Roscommon lads were soft but seriously?
Ah now, Brennan also pushed a blind-sided Murphy's head/neck down. He could have done a serious neck injury with that move. It wasn't just the ref incident.
Brendan
Quote from: Lar Naparka on October 23, 2020, 12:31:14 AMIt was feck all. Shouldn't have done it, but it was very minor. Not dissimilar to Connolly. Connolly was treated too harshly, but doesn't mean everyone should be. Albeit zero punishment was arguably too lenient.
I am not being the cute hoor here but I can't clearly the Andy Moran incident. I had left the room when the push or whatever took place and I was totally depressed when the game ended so I never followed up on the controversy. It's hard to credit that Andy would transgress but I may well be wrong.

Don't think there should be relegation in the circumstances. In Tyrone club football relegation was done away with this season in the interests of fairness. Mayo would have been relegated if there wasn't a lockdown in March and now it looks like they are going to get away with it.

Galway with a gale force breeze in their backs in the 1st half played very defensively and 2 points was never going to be a big enough lead at half time. Crazy tactics

Quote from: From the Bunker on October 25, 2020, 03:48:19 PMMayo did that plentiful in division 1 this year. One of the main reason why Mayo went from division 1 champs to relegation in 1 year was probably too much experimenting with starting line ups. I'd expect a lot more of Horans tried and trusted players will be starting in the championship.
Well done to Tyrone! Held on in there a scraped home.
Always hard to finally lose our Division One status after such a long stint. We got away with a few close shaves in the recent past, but not this year.
Mayo can use Division 2 to re-build and blood players. It won't be easy come back up. And most in that Division will see us as a prize worth trying to beat!

am I right in saying that mayo team was much changed again from last week? Why with div1 status at stake.. Mayo dominated possession today but I thought a lot of their inexperienced players were turned over too easily.. plus Big Aidan was markable despite Kevin McStays assertions :)

Diarmuid O'Connor barged through Burns who had his hands out and that was the correct decision.
Aidan O'Shea has been allowed bear hug Tyrone defenders running out with the ball all game long without being called up on it.
More shame on Tyrone for being stupid enough to keep doing it but still.
There was also a clear foul on Canavan on the endline which was a handy enough tap over free.
The Mayo no 24 has got about 4 frees which were never fouls.
McGeary has got pulled up for being dragged over by Coen and the no 24 flinging himself to ground when he got within a yard of him.

Dublin sat back in the first half and were happy to go in only 2 points down knowing they had a gale in their backs in the 2nd half. Once the goal went on to put them 1 point in front Galway were never level again. Dubs were able to keep a 3/4 point gap without ever getting anywhere near top gear. Galway never got a sniff of a goal chance in the game.
The 2nd goal came after a brilliant flick from Fenton off a Cluxton kick out and King Con playing a one-two with the goalpost to score.

Quote from: CK_Redhand on October 25, 2020, 05:13:13 PM
Conroy looks a great player for Mayo. For his goal he took 8 steps... Twice. I suppose it's an overlooked rule but really hard to defend against with such a quick player. Should the official rules be changed to reflect what referees are actually enforcing?
Quote from: From the Bunker on October 25, 2020, 06:08:50 PMYeah I can't remember. If a player changes direction he's allowed another four steps. A shimmy or dummy... another four steps. Defender attempts a tackle... another four steps. I don't mind if that's the interpretation, but the rules should be updated to reflect it.Quote from: CK_Redhand on October 25, 2020, 05:13:13 PM

When is the last time a goal was disallowed for steps? I can't remember. Referees seem to get caught up in the moment. If a player hesitates, he will be spotted.

My excuses have been in since we lost McShane.
I've been looking to 2021 in any case.
When we get our full contingent there we will have a team to rival anyone but I don't see us being contenders this season with those names missing.
What's the latest with Hampsey, Bradley and Cassidy?
Not sure. I'd imagine Hampsey has no chance, doesn't take a genius to work out he's the Covid case and he was named in the team so presumably there's little chance of him being involved against Galway if there's a 2 week isolation criteria.
Cassidy, R Donnelly and Bradley have not been involved in the 2 league games after the resumption so hard to see any of them being involved next week.

Conroy looks a great player for Mayo. For his goal he took 8 steps... Twice. I suppose it's an overlooked rule but really hard to defend against with such a quick player. Should the official rules be changed to reflect what referees are actually enforcing?
When is the last time a goal was disallowed for steps? I can't remember. Referees seem to get caught up in the moment. If a player hesitates, he will be spotted.

Will be a long half for Galway here I think, that is a gale there in Salthill and 9 points is nowhere near enough of a score with it, they are not playing well again this week, too many lads out of form. Conroy playing unreal but there's not much else with him out there.
That foul by James McCarthy on Ian Burke just before ht was some of the sneakiest dirt you'll ever see on a pitch.

A lot of Galway mistakes leading to easy Dub scores. McCarthy taken off before he got sent off!! I'm struggling with some of McGoldricks reffing, missing a lot of stuff off the ball. Hopefully we dig in for the last 20 and show a bit fight. Neither of Galway's MF are up to this level.

Agree with all you've said there Dubhaltach. Aiden O'Shea is not a full forward, period. Either have him out around the middle of the field getting on ball, especially against a team such as Tyrone who swarm around him when he was inside all through the game.
There'll be a debate about the goalie position once again, all due to one terrible kick out that ultimately cost us unfortunately. I'm a huge Clarkey man myself over Hennelly, but surely there are other options to try in next year's campaign.
It's not a given we'll be promoted at the first go either so people who reckon it's not too bad might have another thing coming to them. Hopefully it will be a swift return to Division 1, I guess we'll have to wait and see how things pan out. It may be 'only the league' but I was delighted when we won it last year. Any type of national title shouldn't be sniffed at.

Clumsy from Jamsie. Lost control of ball and tried to get his foot under the ball. Nothing more than a yellow card.

How come Schlingermann never got the chance? I know gone back to soccer but didn't seem to get any run out last year.

The score line flattered Dublin in the end but they had plenty in the tank and could have turned it up a notch if needed.
We had a number of players out there today that are just not at the required level to seriously challenge at the business end of the championship. Hard to see us having much of a say this year.

Tyrone will do well to get within 5 points of Donegal. Donegal have a potent and very mobile front 6 and half of Tyrone's defenders cannot tackle.

This is definitely the case with Kieran McGeary. I think he brings a lot to the team in terms of intensity, leadership and when he's playing well he's great at driving forward from half back, so I would definitely have him in the starting team. But he plays on the edge and is so reckless in the tackle and as a result gives away a lot of scorable frees which is so frustrating

After last week with the way Galway performed many expected Dublin to have todays game won by half time and certainly not needing a 2nd goal in the 74th minute to seal the win.
Dublin strolled past Galway in Salthill who offered very little. Game was played a challenge match pace. Paddy Small looked good up front for Dublin. Galway pulled players back into a blanket defect but Dublin still cut them open several times for goal chances
Galway with a gale force breeze in their backs in the 1st half played very defensively and 2 points was never going to be a big enough lead at half time. Crazy tactics
We were actually on top the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half into the wind and got 4 points up but then got sloppy with a couple of bad turnovers inside our own half which Dublin scored a quick 1-2 from against the run of play. First turnover I think O'Donnell actually ran into the back of his own team mate and lost possession. For the Dublin goal Paul Kelly won the breaking ball in midfield but fumbled it under no pressure and Dublin were clean through on goal. We never really looked like getting back level. Think we got within 2 but that was it.
On the plus side the full-back line looked better with Mulkerrin and Sean Kelly probably winning their individual duels overall. Con was well marshalled until injury time. James Foley had a very tough time on debut though against Paddy Small who was on fire for the Dubs.
Conroy was excellent to be fair. One of the few real leaders we have. I think we need to get more pace and athleticism into the side although easier said than done. I think it's very hard to win without having enough pace, dynamism and athleticism in your side these days. Especially at the very top. That's why someone like Comer is invaluable (when he's fit) as he has that raw power and dynamism that can bother top sides like the Dubs.
Looks like Flynn is carrying an injury as well the way he had to go off today. That's a number of players now with worrying knocks and not much time to shake them off before championship.
John Daly a huge loss to this side. Was probably Galway's best player after Shane Walsh pre Covid. Really controlled games from number 6.

Should have saved at least two of them and David Clarke is normally a good shot stopper.

He didn't play well yesterday, but O'Shea still took a huge amount of attention from the Tyrone defence. If he was in midfield I doubt Conroy and Coen would have got as much freedom.

Yeah, he's had many bad days with the kickouts, but usually solid as a rock with shot stopping.
