Bad news for Galway on the brannigan front,looks like a six week lay off which would have him back end of may,ligaments which are a fecker to heal.A very big loss the amount of ground he covers surreal,m.daly might get a couple of scores but as regards defending and tracking back not a patch on brannigan.
That's what I heard myself this weekend. A very big loss especially given the way Galway set-up. Brannigan carries a lot of ball between the lines and always seems to give Boyle an awful hard time of it. After Comer probably the one forward, Kevin Walsh didn't want to lose.
Keegan gone is balanced out by no Silke or Brannigan. Not even counting COC. He'll play 100%.

I’d say most people don’t really care that the schedule has yet to be finalised. Of all the sticks we have to beat RTÉ with this is the smallest. I’m sure most of the matches we give a shite about watching will be televised. Will all the Ulster championship matches he available on bbc ni once again?
Magpie Seanie - the reason they can show 7 game live is because of the weather and fixtures mess - the games that were cancelled, they would have still retained the rights to broadcast on a refixed date, and they simply shunted their expenditure to the next week. The real bravery is giving over so much of the schedule to it and fair dues to them for doing it.
Tyrone v Kerry is a glorified friendly going on team announcements.Donegal v Mayo is going to be the only game that would be worth attending,virus from you know what kept a few icons out of Donegal team last week need them all back to beat Mayo.Dublin v Monaghan be a decent game as the Dubs dont do challenge games.Kildare v Galway another friendly of no importance be big drop in attendances imo over the 3 dead rubbers.
3 dead rubbers and one relegation decider, not sure why the Monaghan v Dublin game is getting deferred coverage on TG4? surely Cavan v Tipp Div 1 promotion decider would be more interesting.
Div 2 naturally can’t be underestimated. Cork taking longer than expected getting back to top tier.Back from mayo, highlights package doesn't do justice to how poor mayo were. Tyrone are getting better but wouldnt be getting carried away. We have started taking our chances at least.
Aidan O'Shea is the most overrated player at the minute. Can't see what he added the other day just getting involved in stupid stuff. You would think mayo would be tight on their discipline after the donny vaughan incident in AI final but they were at stuff all day. Mayo ones whinging about tyrone being dirty. The one bad moment from tyrone was mc nulty hit. I can see why the ref gave a red but i don't think it was.
Cavanagh shouldnt have been blacked, Bradley did not dive, complete nonsense, harsh on boyle as bradley iis so small but still hit him, Boyle should have been off for hp mcgeary challenege which was worse than mc nultys.
Thats my 2 bits, on to the next one!
Remember Mayo finished the game without Boyle, Andy, Cillian, Keegan, Higgins, Barrett, Harrison, Vaughan! More than half a team of decent players.
Aye I know that's why I said I am not getting carried away. I know mayo take the league lightly but a year playing division 2 football next year will do them no favours!
Will this be televised? It's the only meaningful D1 game next weekend
Given the evidence of the first half last weekend, monaghan are comfortably a better side than Galway at present - despite the latter’s excellent form thus far in the league.
Looking at the changes Monaghan made for that game, they may not be disappointed to miss out on a league final.
