Quote from: 5times5times on June 28, 2026, 05:39:54 PMIs there nobody better in Galway than Gleeson? Surely.

His kickouts have been poor for years why haven't they addressed it?!!

Can't imagine Joyce/Comer/Conroy/Walsh will be back next season?

Quote from: tyroneStatto on June 28, 2026, 05:43:05 PMYou can see why Galway have lost 2 AI finals in recent years.

It could be a while before  they lose another

Another false dawn for Galway. Maybe the end for Joyce. Didn't agree with the penalty but at the same time Galway didn't look like All-Ireland contenders today.

First time in a long time i couldnt name the Dublin team off hand. So many new faces past 2 years. Galway, well thats the Galway team beat by Roscommon.

Walsh 33 he will hang around a bit more. They may get a kick from new mgmt. Conroy is done I would say but could hang on to help younglings.

Brennans kickout organising has them beating two of top 4. Some going considering what happened earlier in year.

And Murphy  hitting himself. With a closed  fist , obviously.

So the narrative, this year, will be that it's better to be playing matches than sitting waiting in the quarter final.

Hope for a Dublin v Kerry semi. Be great for Louth to have a real chance of making an AI final.

Mayo V Dublin/Louth

Kerry V Dublin / Louth

Dublin Louth cant happen....lets see if cynics are proven right on draw

Gough's Dublin bias continues.
A Dublin referee shouldn't be allowed ref Dublin games ever.
No way was it a penalty.

Was a definite black card for Dublin a few minutes later, Galway player collided into deliberately, Dublin got a free a few seconds later.

So many that was tipping Galway to win Sam was strangely ignoring their goalkeeper and defensively issues.  Joyce a lucky general so won't rule them out winning today however Kerry would ease past them should they meet.

Joyce has lucked out with having a healthy squad the last number of years that's for sure 😬
No excuse every team has injuries. The lucky general ran out of it today in what could be his final match managing Galway.

Eye opener for all those who thought All-Ireland was in that Galway team.

Maybe but Dublin All-Ireland medals winners really stood up.

Galway was 6 points up against Roscommon in that game also. Tough one on the chin to take but today and the Connacht final the best teams won.

Kerry and Dublin both advance due to wrong refereeing calls ensuring they didn't lose.  That's some coincidence tbf...

The trend of letting teams back into games when in a decent lead continues.
This team just aren't learning any lessons.
Also if I never see Gough reffing again it will be too soon
