Quote from: Captain Obvious on Today at 03:34:14 PMI'd say Galway will be a lot stronger this week than they were then. Should be a tight game cute hoorism aside.Quote from: tbrick18 on Today at 03:05:47 PMQuote from: Captain Obvious on Today at 02:36:25 PMQuote from: lurganblue on Today at 08:33:34 AMQuote from: armaghniac on May 15, 2024, 06:44:38 PMQuote from: Keyser soze on May 15, 2024, 01:53:39 PMNo version of Derry has ever beaten Galway in championship, you can be sure that will be a factor on saturday.
Janey, even Armagh has beaten Galway.
Derry wans trying their hand at the cute hoorism here? Sure Derry were in the big three talk with Dublin and Kerry not just a few weeks ago.
Conversation of the big three talk will be back on should Derry win this weekend. A win will put them in the box seat to top the group and then perhaps talking on a Mayo,Tyrone or Monaghan in the last eight tie that they'll be expected to win. Should Dublin play Kerry in one semi final you could be looking at All Ireland final spot for Derry yet.
If we beat Galway with a depleted side undoubtedly those conversations will happen in the media.
But if we get beaten in the manner we did against Donegal - regardless of team on the field, the talk will be of the wheels coming off in the media.
Fine lines between being top 3 and an also ran in the media sphere.
I'd love to win, but if we lose I'm more interested in a good performance as 2 bad ones in a row will do nothing for confidence.
You beat Galway in Salthill with this team by a bit to spare a few months ago.
