IF there is a second tier, TG4 would have to get full rights to cover at least two matches a week. Possibly the main match being on a Friday night live on TV could give it good exposure.

Strange decision to drop both off the match squad, Gatland must be very fond of playing streetrugby ( bit.ly/13NfnxO ) and impressed by Sean O'Brien knocking over buses around Dublin

Even the most optimistic of Galway supporter does not hold much hope that the current crop of footballers can deliver thier first All-Ireland since 2001.
The expectation levels of footballing supporters have dropped dramatically over the past few years with early championship exits now becoming the norm. The All-Ireland successes of 1998 and 2001 are now a distant memory and even trips to Croke Park are becoming a thing of the past.
Galway's inability to win outside of Connacht has been the biggest hindrance to the development of this young team as backdoor exits at the hands of Antrim and Wexford, the past two years have caused discontent among followers. It is now ten years since Galway last won a game outside of Connacht and an even more harrowing statistic is that the last Galway team to win in Croker was the All-Ireland winners of 2001.
Unfortunately for Galway this year's Connacht Championship draw has done them no favours as they face arch rivals Mayo in the first round. While playing in Pearse Stadium is a huge advantage it is probably the only reason this game will be close. They are 4/1 with Boylesports.com to win the Connacht title.
Unlike years gone by when Galway-Mayo Connacht derbies were fiercely contested games the teams have since gone in two different directions. Galway are currently in a period of transition which started last year with the appointment of Alan Mulholland as senior boss.
Mulholland was given a three year deal and the general consensus around Galway is that he will be given the full three years to try and develop the county's youth into a top inter county side. Mulholland has promoted many of his U21 All-Ireland winning team of 2011 to the senior set up and some have established themselves as regular starters.
The likes of Manus Breathnach, Mark Hehir, Colin Forde and Johny Duane have started most championship games in the past two years and are all beginning to mature and prosper at this level but all still have much to prove. Mulholland will also most likely hand championship starts to current U21s Fiontain O'Curraoin and Tommy Flynn who are midfield partners on this year's U21 team who have just reached the All Ireland final.
Galway's progress under Mulholland will be severely tested by a Mayo side who are progressing nicely and will no doubt be in contention yet again at the business end of the championship. In recent years Mayo have performed above the expectations of many pundits and have far outshone Galway on the national stage. All Ireland semi-finalists in 2011, they then followed that up by reaching the All-Ireland final last year when they were far from disgraced by an exceptional Donegal team. Under James Horan Mayo are a formidable outfit and will not fear a first round trip to Galway in the slightest.
While Galway are in the process of developing the potential of their young stars much of the hopes for the season ahead lie with Michael Meehan. Meehan is without doubt one of the most talented footballers in the country and when fit can torment any defence and be a real match winner for Galway. He can be the man they look towards to carry them through tight games and maybe lead them an extended run in the backdoor. With Padraic Joyce retiring there is even more pressure on Meehan's shoulders but leading this young team is something he will cherish.
Galway's league campaign was average at best finishing fifth in division B which was a bit disappointing after last year's promising third place. The league however is only a stepping stone and all will be judged on championship results. Realistically Mayo will beat Galway in the first round of the Connacht championship and Galway will be put into the backdoor, a place which has not treated them well in recent years. If they are to have a decent campaign they will have to first overcome the awful statistic of not having won a game outside of Connacht in ten years. The resolve and metal of this young side will be tested is the gruelling backdoor but a couple of easy draws and they could build momentum.
Playing at home I feel is key to Galway's chances as in recent years Galway have lost on the road to Antrim, Wexford and Donegal, a much weaker Donegal team than they are today. For whatever reason Galway have been unable to grind out results away from home in the backdoor, and it is something that has to change if they are to be successful this time around.
Galway have unquestionable natural ability and young players with huge potential however I believe that they are still a year or even two away from reaching the level Mayo are at and it may be three years before we see Galway involved in the latter stages of the all-Ireland series. For the coming year two or three victories in the backdoor would be progress and something to build on, any more than that and they're in bonus territory.

Cork hurlers recently lost their relegation play off to Clare, the result of this game means that Cork will play in Division 1B of the National Hurling League next season.
Many people believe that this result was a 'disaster' for Cork hurling. People are saying that Cork need to be playing against the big teams' week in, week out and there are many ways to justify this statement. Others will have a more positive outlook and I would be amongst that group. If Cork had a choice they would obviously elect to play in the top tier of the league but as Jimmy Barry Murphy said they must 'take their medicine' and move on.  So let's have a look at what's in store for Cork.
It was an interesting winter on leeside. There were the retirements of Niall Mc Carthy and Seán Óg ó hAilpín along with the omission of John Gardiner from the panel. This would leave the team without the services of 3 experienced, All Ireland winning players. In January there were more withdrawals as Eoin Cadogan and Damien Cahalane opted to play solely with the Cork footballers and finally Donal Óg Cusack was dropped from the panel ahead of the league. This meant Cork would play this year without a vast number of experienced players. There was talks of unrest in the camp and peopled wondered would this effect the rest of the team.
Jimmy Barry Murphy received criticism from certain sections of the public and the media. People said that he lost too many experienced players. Personally, I would disagree with this criticism. There is no doubt that the players mentioned above have been good servants to Cork hurling during a certain time period but a lot of people appear to forget the continuous trouble and controversy that has followed a lot of these players. They have been involved in no less than 3 player strikes and while they bring experience and leadership I would honestly question the level of performance of a number of those players in recent years. This may prove to be a season of transition; I feel that the benefits of this campaign will be seen in a couple of years despite the fact that there was relegation from Division 1A.
If this current group of Cork players are going to progress to the next level, which is building on last year's semi-final appearance in the championship, I think they need to find new leaders within this new crop of players. Individuals like Patrick Horgan, Paudie O' Sullivan, Lorcán McLoughlin and William Egan will only become dominant personalities and leaders in the panel if older and experienced players are no longer there and for this reason I feel JBM was correct in his calls. For instance, a lot of people criticised the exclusion of Cusack but one must look at the bigger picture. Firstly, Cusack has been at the heart of all controversies in Cork G.A .A in recent times. Secondly, Anthony Nash showed in Cusack's absence last year that he is a top class keeper and a capable replacement.
Thirdly, there is the fact that current second choice goalkeeper Darren McCarthy is an excellent goal keeper and anyone who follows Cork hurling knows that this man is definitely a future no.1. He has performed excellently for Cork at underage level. He has also been influential in U.C.C's dominance of third level hurling in recent years. He has captained U.C.C to a Fitzgibbon Cup and played a leading role in a Fresher's All Ireland and another Fitzgibbon triumph. Cork must look forward and in this instance axing Cusack was correct, in my opinion.
A lot of people questioned the losses of Gardiner, Cadogan and Seán Óg to the Cork half back line, wondering if Cork could deal with these losses. Again I feel there are many good young half backs in Cork and the reality is that these players must be given game time along numerous chances to establish themselves. I understand that a blend of youth and experience is important but in a half back line, players must learn to take responsibility and lead a team and this can only be acquired through sufficient game time and allowing players to play together.
For example, William Egan is a player with huge potential. He has the ability to lead this Cork defence and needs to be given every opportunity possible to stamp his authority on the team. Last year he was dropped for Seán Óg ó hAilpín. While the decision paid off in terms of results I would question was it a reality of 'one step forward and two steps back' in terms of the progression and development of the team overall. Another young player, Christopher Joyce, has demonstrated the ability to command the number 6 position for many years to come. Cadogan wore number 6 last season and when he announced his intention to focus on football, the media focused on what a loss he would be.
While it's easy to speak as a spectator I honestly feel that Cadogan's performances in recent years were average at best. I don't get any pleasure from saying this, it's just an honest opinion that I leave open to dispute. The fact that he was mixing hurling and football may have impacted on this. I fully accept that playing intercounty hurling and football is hugely demanding and his attempt to play both is highly admirable but I really believe that his performances on the pitch should be questioned. He certainly was not as irreplaceable as people made out.
This year Joyce has performed very well and in my opinion he is a more than adequate replacement in the number 6 jersey and could potentially perform to a higher level. My primary argument is whether these players would get the same opportunities if the older guard were still on the panel and I'd doubt it very much that they would. Players like Joyce and Egan are only two examples of players that need to become the leaders of the Cork team and this will only happen if they're given the freedom to do so. So the bigger picture to me shows that despite relegation, these young Cork players will have learned a huge amount from this year's league to assist their future development.
I truly believe that the future of Cork hurling is not as vulnerable as some are making it out to be. I accept the argument that next year's league campaign may not be as beneficial to Cork as they will play teams such as Limerick, Offaly and Wexford as opposed to Kilkenny, Tipperary and Galway. There is no doubt that games will not be as tough but they will still be games that will require winning and young players may gain and grow in confidence by winning these games. Top level sport is a results business but I think it's fair that we judge Cork based on their league 'performances' this year, as opposed to 'results'. While Cork were relegated I would be of the opinion that their performances may have deserved a better outcome.
Cork began the league with an annihilation of Tipperary. It was an outstanding performance where they hurled at pace and intensity that simply blew Tipperary away. Their second game against Waterford was a draw in incredibly difficult hurling conditions where they came back from a large deficit. They were beaten by Clare when a commanding first half lead was combined with a flat second half performance which saw the lead pegged back. Against Galway, Cork showed character again to come from behind and earn a positive draw. Finally against Kilkenny, Cork came out on the wrong side of a tight game having performed well and left themselves with plenty of optimism.
Last Sunday's result was clearly disappointing but it is not all doom and gloom. Cork were relegated but a full reflection on the league campaign holds plenty of optimism for this particular summer, in my opinion. Cork had plenty of good performances and showed that they can compete with the best teams. To me, this shows that they still have the ability to build on last year's championship performance and build a team that may compete for All Ireland's in the coming years.
Players like Nash, Shane O' Neill, Conor O' Sullivan, Stephen White, Joyce, Egan, McLoughlin, Daniel Kearney, Conor Lehane, Luke O' Farrell, Stephen Moylan and Paudie O' Sullivan all performed well and these are young players that now need to lead Cork into the summer. Cork need to get Patrick Horgan back on top form in order to be successful as he is their main scoring threat. If you combine a return to form of Horgan with all of the above players, I think you have the backbone of a strong team with youth on its side capable of competing with any team in the championship. There are areas of improvement that need addressing and there are still plenty of weeks in order to try and get these areas right before the championship.
Cork simply must look to the future. They must move on from the previous era and allow players to grow into top class intercounty hurlers. The mid-noughties success is a thing of the past and the whole county needs to move on from it. This is why I still firmly believe that Jimmy Barry Murphy was correct to 'yield the axe' and look ahead. He did so previously in 1999 and they were some of the main players who led Cork to All Ireland success in 2004 and 2005. It must also be noted that Cork played in division 2 of the National Hurling League in 1997, gained promotion that season and went on to win an All-Ireland in 1999, and who was in charge of Cork back then? Yes, it was a certain Jimmy Barry Murphy. They say lightning doesn't strike twice but it's clear to me that JBM trusts what he knows and who is to say that this won't lead to future success.
So where can this Cork team improve? There appears to be a clear weakness in Cork's half forward line and the ability to win primary possession. Patrick Cronin has been Cork's main target in the air. I don't want to sound critical again but I think his size and physique mean he should perform better in this area. People will argue that he is the only option and gets over used from puck outs and long deliveries which may be fair, but I still believe a man of his size should use his body more effectively to win more clean possession.
This has been a huge problem for many years, older sides tried to counteract this with a running game and short puckout's but that system was subsequently defended against by other teams leading to a return to the more direct game. Cork need to derive a new system to try and counteract this problem again. Another position of concern to me is the full back position. Brian Murphy is there at the moment. He is a very good defender but he isn't getting any younger and will need to be replaced soon.
These are two areas where I think Cork have been very unfortunate as players are there in county but not available. By this I mean that excellent hurlers have elected to play intercounty football ahead of hurling with Cork. Three players that I feel are huge losses to the hurling team are Aidan Walsh, Ciaran Sheehan and Damien Cahalane. Sheehan and Walsh are two phenomenal athletes and there ball winning ability on top of their hurling skills would be invaluable additions to the Cork half forward line. Walsh proved in 2011 what an asset he would be to the Cork hurling team. His performances for the under 21 team that year were simply outstanding and it's a huge shame that he is yet to showcase his talents at senior level.
Cahalane is another player that I have huge admiration for. I have seen him play closely over the last few years and his progression has been remarkable. He has the size, strength and skill to be a very good intercounty hurler and lead a defence from number 3. In the club championship in recent years I haven't seen many better defenders and I think he is a huge loss to the Cork hurlers. At the moment these players have chosen football. This is very unusual in a place like Cork, where hurling has always been the dominant game, but this change is impacting negatively on hurling in Cork at this moment in time and it is depriving the team of 3 players capable of taking Cork to the next level. Their losses are huge.
So what is next for Cork hurlers and are they in such a bad place? I don't believe that they are. I think it's too cynical to say that relegation is a reflection of poor league performances and that the future for Cork is bleak. A lot of Cork players have matured this year and acquired experience which should stand to them come summer time. Limerick and Clare were the two teams that played in Division 1B last year. Limerick performed well in championship last year forcing Kilkenny and Tipperary, who many consider to be the two best teams, to perform to their very best in order to beat them.
One only has to look at Clare's performances this year to see their progression. To me this shows that it's not all 'doom and gloom' in Division 1B and Cork people don't need to be so negative. When I ask what is next for Cork, the answer is this year's championship. What I am really trying to say is judge Cork on their championship performances this year. The real hurling season is yet to start, while league relegation isn't ideal, intercounty teams are judged on championship performances so let's see how Cork will fair this year.

The 2013 All Ireland football series will be one of the most keenly contested in recent years. There are five teams who could currently consider themselves real prospects to win the Sam Maguire in September.

Donegal, Mayo, Kerry, Dublin and Cork all have the tools and experience to lift Sam but they are going to have to beat each other along the way.
With Donegal, Mayo and Cork you are going to get the same approach we saw last year. With Kerry we are always guaranteed a free flowing natural style of football. The Dublin 2013 case study is slightly more difficult to analyze.

On October 1st 2012 Jim Gavin was ratified as the new Dublin senior manager. A decorated manager with the county under 21s Gavin was the obvious choice in the list of succession after Pat Gilroy.

Gilroy's success with the senior team was based on a rigid system which relied on hard work, relentless tackling and dogged defence. The modern day role of defensive wing forwards was executed to perfection as Paul Flynn and Bryan Cullen were as valuable around their own 45 as they were further up the pitch.

In the modern game it is the belief that you must employ a system to compete. The systematic approaches of All Ireland winners this side of the Millenium has added weight to this theory. Gone are the days where the team who scores more wins, we are now in the age where the team who concedes less comes out on top.

Kerry and Cork try to employ the 15 on 15 game but often the manner in which the opposition lines out forces their hand. If a team are playing 13men in defence it is impossible to go man for man against them.

Indications from watching Jim Gavin's underage teams in the past suggest that Dublin will try to employ an orthodox 15 on 15 approach this season. Gavin won two under 21 All Ireland's playing free flowing man for man football. This is a system of trust – relying on each individual man to be better then his direct counterpart.

There are certain trends in the game which have proved successful for certain counties. The 'new' midfield is a combination of size and athleticism. One compensates the other. Look at Donegal last year – Neil Gallagher would play the role of orthodox midfielder while Rory Kavanagh would be the runner – moving with the play. This is not to say that the role of the traditional midfielder is redundant. Gallagher's semi final performance against Cork was one of the best exhibitions in fielding and simple football to grace Croke Park in years.
Similar to the Kavanagh situation Kerry used the new conversion policy to convert a star forward into a busy bee midfielder. Bryan Sheehan was the best player on the pitch in the 2011 All Ireland final playing at midfield. Last season he again impressed in a struggling Kerry team. Sheehan had made his name for Kerry as a forward and free taker. As a midfielder he has the mobility to exercise his defensive duties but still contribute further up the pitch. Mayo's Aidan O'Shea is another example of the success of this conversion.
Dublin have yet to adopt this approach. They finished last years Championship with Denis Bastick and Eamon Fennell in midfield. Fennell is a ball winner and Bastick, although athletic, would lean more to the side of traditional midfielder.

Dublin have a shortfall at midfield currently. With Fennell no longer on the panel the depth of options and experience suffers. However they do have the advantage of a very strong conveyor belt of talent in waiting. A minor two years ago Emmett Ó Conghaile could fit the Sheehan/Kavanagh role. With the evolution of strategies it will become impossible to play two orthodox midfielders and therefore the development of Ó Conghaile could be a real asset to Dublin football in the coming season.

Another area where Dublin suffered last season was the consistency of substitutions they were producing in championship games. When we talk ......................................
