Connacht Senior Football Championship 2021

Mayo 2-14 Galway 2-8. Congratulations to Mayo, Connacht title retained against a Galway side that faded badly 2nd half.

Will PJ survive the winter?

Yet another game that adds to the questions about his managerial skills.

Galway's conditioning is not at an intercounty level. Is it at a senior club level? Maybe. They were gassed with 20 minutes left to play. It's not a professional (in the GAA sense) set-up. Could say more but I'll leave it at that.

Nice trial run of Aidan OShea giving a speech on the steps of the Hogan

By Christ that was as sweet as you'd get. Terrific performance in the second half. Didn't see it coming at half time I must say. K Mc has to start the next day. Mattie Ruane my motm.

As for PJ - lol.

Mayo winning by a margin of 6 points is probably what I would have expected before the match. Only Dublin have beaten Mayo in Croke Park the last 8 years and I didn't see that Galway side changing that. Fitness, conditioning, pace and energy to the fore in that Mayo victory and when the game was in the melting pot Horan v Joyce on the sideline was a total mismatch.

Kevin Mc coming on fresh at HT was a better option today.

Yeah I'd be thinking the same. He's one lad you can rely on coming off the bench. At 32 years old, his speed may not be as effective early on.

He shouldn't but with the incompetence of Galway county board I won't be surprised if they keep him on for another year.

What kind of crowd be let in the next day, and more importantly how many organs will I need to trade to get one?

Disastrous second half.
When you look at the players we brought in off the bench it shows the lack of quality we have.
Duane coming in for Shane Walsh summed it up.
Chasing the game and we bring on a below average defender for our main attacking threat.

To be fair that was not a tactical switch. PJ had given up the ghost at that stage. The early injuries did not help Galway!

Congrats to Mayo, no contest once the real championship stuff started in the second half.
Don't know what to say about Galway, very disappointing performance, hard to be optimistic at the minute really, not near the top level across all sectors both on and off the pitch.

It amounted to waving the white flag all the same.

Injuries did not help Galway. Mayo are a decade at this level. They may have new guys, but there are a lot on and off the field who know the score at this stage. Shane Walsh got the extra attention (legal and Illegal) that players of his caliber will get. The difference in being a good player and a great player is how you deal with that.
