[Kevin Walsh gift-wrapping this Connacht title for us by not marking up on our kickouts]

Kevin Walsh gift-wrapping this Connacht title for us by not marking up on our kickouts. Seems extremely poor tactics given our weakness in the middle but even on their own kickouts Galway avoid kicking long.

Surely they'll readjust in the second half and we have to be ready. Playing within ourselves so far and 50% of a complete championship performance is in the bank at halftime. Not many times we could say that.

Time to drive on in the first ten minutes of the second half.

It was decent of "McFod" to gift-wrap the replay for Galway

[He's been chopping and changing his keeper for two years as well as his FB line,]

Speaking about mouths.

I genuinely cannot see how any Galway supporter could say with a straight face that Walsh plays blanket football. He's been chopping and changing his keeper for two years as well as his FB line, and that's only made him more conservative. There is not a more defensive team than Galway right now in the top two divisions IMHO.

Meanwhile in Roscommon....

The time to judge some of these Roscommon forwards is after the championship, I really don't know how anyone can say Roscommon have one of the best forward lines in the country as hitting some big scores early on in the league doesn't count.

I've seen no evidence this year or in the last few years to suggest Roscommon have a better forward line than Galway; Now a few months down the line I'll certainly give Roscommon more credit should they take off in the next few games.

When the Galway forward line regularly consists of a single player it's fair enough to say we've the better forward line..

Roscommon forwards generally let play their positions with obvious concessions to the modern game.  Galway's simply are not. It's a pity as these players have played against each other in some of the most memorable matches I've ever witnessed. Roscommon at least trying to be positive but Galway have zero intentions of being expansive and will ride the blanket boat until it's evitable sinking. How times how changed when it's Galway of all counties that's afraid to play football.

We'll see if Galway are in a hole at some point on Sunday and have to pour forward if that fear is well founded or not.

Thought Galway played very open football, first half in particular was as goof as I have seen in a long time. Wonder do "the dream team" also think that the Galway forward line consists of one player. Was dissapointed to see Roscommon lose their discipline. Two black cards before a despicable act from Donal Smith.

[We'll see full well who has the best forwards on Sunday.]

You must have been talking to some very c**k-eyed Ros men. Took some balls to work those final two points after so much mediocrity and it's something most Ros teams would not have done. I fully believe last Sunday will stand to us more than it will Galway.

Weather looking a lot better for this Sunday than last. We'll see full well who has the best forwards on Sunday.

We did, thought Cummins and Comer were the best on the show. Gary Sice had a good innings too.
