Plenty coming through for Galway. Need a 1985 or 2012 scenario where a whole host of them are tried together and thrown in the deep end.

At least he won his all Ireland.
A fabulous player.
No doubt and he definitely is, but it is one of those ones of what could have been.
Such a talent.

All of a sudden our premier league numbers have increased with ogbene, oshea and Cullen all in there now

Limerick have a similar dose to the Galway footballers with key injuries and a loss of form

Sean Finn is out for the rest of the season, Cian Lynch hasn't been himself for well over a year and Declan Hannon has already been ruled out of the All-Ireland semi-final

Pressure is on Galway , lots of write ups over the last few weeks about them , the latest being Peter canavan saying if they met Mayo in a final they'd beat them . All or nothing now for Padraigeen and his band of fancy dans .

Cork need to build around Ben Cunningham when he progresses. Proven free taker for St Finbarr's and Cork U20's, and a big strapping lad. Their biggest problem the last few years has been forwards not winning their own ball, and not working hard enough. Get this lad in and build around him with the pace of Robbie O'Flynn and Shane Kingston. I expect Limerick to win comfortably enough this weekend, but there has been some decent signs this year for Cork going forward.

Camera panned around to the sideline and you could see the blind panic in Kinnerks face in the closing minutes of that Tipp game. It'll only take one of those 'underperforming' limerick stars to have a good game to pull them through, saying that Cork have surprised me this year so far so will be a cracking game.

Galway hurling was in a bad way from the mid 50s until the early 70s. The Republic Of Ireland soccer team went through a similar experience during some of that time and didn't win a match for several years. Galway had an awful time in Munster. They probably wouldn't have been Joe McDonagh standard at the time.
Galway still massively under performing at senior level in relation to their juvenile success.
The context is very different for Galway compared to the 60s.
Since Galway won the Senior All Ireland in 1988
They have been in a total of 37 Minor and u20/21 All Ireland finals
Winning 13 Minor All Irelands and 9 u20/21 All Ireland Titles
They have managed from that to win 1 Senior all Ireland
So Yeah by any metric they have underperformed
The question is what happens from here, especially if Limerick are operating at a lower level compared to recent years.
There should be a few all Irelands available. Tipp could win one in every 2. What is the problem with doing back to back ?
looks like I touched a nerve
Heres the reality for ye Galway Boys
Ye cant turn minor and u20/21 All Ireland winning Hurlers into Senior All Ireland Winning Hurlers
Until Ye figure that one out,Ye will be continue winning 1 in a rows every 30 Years.

Burns was definately a red.
Morgan black was a strange one, would love to know the reason for it. If it was for backchatting the ref, surely that's a yellow.
Galway were flat, perhaps the conditions didnt suit them.
If Tyrone had watched the discipline they could have turned Galway over.
Hard to see Galway play so badly again.
Credit to Tyrone, certainly did improve from the last time out. Tyrone v Armagh is mouth watering now because up until this game I fully expected Armagh to win comfortably.
Have watched 5 or 6 Galway games this year against Div 1 opposition each one of them a pure war of attrition, It's not so much playing badly but playing a way for them to win arm wrestles and character building wins if you like.
The swashbuckling style of last and previous years hasn't been seen much in 2023, maybe that will change come the business end of this championship but thus far the change of style seems to be a direct response to the big scores Galway was conceding last year against the likes of Cork,Offaly,Roscommon 3 times and Armagh.

I have a bad feeling about this game.
Quote from: Manning18 on May 11, 2023, 01:07:20 PM
Amazing rivalry in a Connacht sense. In an All Ireland sense, which is about 25 times more important, it's utterly lopsided.
Is there a bit of dispute over what the current Connacht score is? Colm Keys had it as 49 now for Galway and 48 for Mayo. Someone said to me it was 48 each now however

Why does Markievicz "hold a lot more than 10k"? Because you say so?
Considering how health and safety have absolutely slashed grounds with non bucket seating/standing all over the country, I see nothing in Markievicz to think it would be allowed to hold 'a lot more' than 10k. McHale Park for instance was 42k in the noughties and is now 25k max. There would've been a larger demand had one team been at home also. All a moot point anyway, as you can't change agreements with days notice, it's unfair on whichever team would have to travel to the others home ground
Im sure Prenty did think there was far more coming than realistic. As any amount of history has shown us, this is hardly the most competent individual we're dealing with. I'd agree that Hyde Park was probably a better option, but he's nothing if not consistent and did another twist for his own

Lord Prenty declared at an early stage the Final was fixed for McHale.
Helping his favourite County pay off their debts.
Sod Sligo or capacity or how many might turn up, look after his own.

6 steps for the 2nd goal. Tierney best player in country in current form!
