Replying To Belclare1:  "Agree, but needless to say and stats show it that Galway have tightened up dramatically in 12 months.."
Galway going into the Connacht final last year 15 points conceded per game right now its 13 points per game.

Some very confident Galway fans on here similar to last year and we all know what happened 12 Months ago. Hopefully this over confidence is among the Galway panel too

That stat would want a disclaimer given Galway were in Div 2 last year.

You never hear a peep out of the Galway Management camp but with Roscommon they crave the publicity. Today you see Mc Hale coming out with more stuff. Can these lads not just keep quiet until the game is over? I am a neutral but Roscommon are going to get some wale up call and cant wait to hear the two Mc's then

Strikes me that Roscommon are all mouth and no trousers as they say across the water, Galway are now one of the best teams in the country, I'd put them at 2 or 3, not sure how good Kerry are, can't see the Rossies bothering them too much.
Galway by 4 or 5 points in 3rd gear.

Will only be too delighted to have the glorious final on replay after replay showing all the glorious scores from the primrose and blue, will mix it in with some classic Willie Hegarty radio commentary no doubt saying the likes of brian stack coming in like an aer lingus jet plane. Pure unadulterated ecstasy stuff that, can do any fairer for ya there

Cannot wait for this game i think having it in the hyde will help the rossies as i think if it was in salthill Galway would give us a beating. That is a very different galway team then what faced us last year with the new full back looking like a real player.

Roscommon have a stonger panel this year but we are still poor enough in midfield which could be our downfall. But i do believe Roscommon have forwards that would trouble any defence on the day. Hope it will be a quailty game more then anything.

Heart says Roscommon Head is saying Galway by 3

Please ignore the Trolls from Roscommon every county has them.

Hon the Rossies

Massive confidence in Galway on the back of a wonderful league campaign where only Dublin went to to toe with them and beating Mayo yet again.burke and Sean andy are awesome additions, probable all Stars. Kevin Walsh alluding to the Dubs again this week points to they're ambition, Galway are 3rd Favs for Sam and it looks impossible to see them slip up or be ambushed by us this year.

Meanwhile We have been desperately poor especially defensively in league and it will take a miraculous performance on current form to be competitive with Galway with the replay hammering by Mayo hanging heavy. Mullooly is a crippling loss at the back. As long as we give it our best shot and fight to the end most Ros fans will be happy with that.

What are you on about? It's been nothing but interviews with Kevin Walsh and Damien Comer since the league got going. They've been everywhere in the media.

Doing fairly well in league last two years is irrelevant when it comes to championship.

Galway conceded 15 points against Sligo a Div 3 team in their last game and Sligo missed a number of goal chances in the game. League football only tells you so much, won't really know how much Galway have improved until after the Super 8s (if they reach them)

Excellent archive work. not sure of context though. A year is a long time in football. The big teams generally crank it up at the end of league nearer championship. The league final against Dublin was close to championship football and was a serious statement by Galway. Backed up by beating Mayo who were desperate not to fall to Galway again.

They are far stronger than Last year that's why I he bookies have the 3rd favs for Sam. We will see Sunday where we are. We have good footballers and I have faith in our management to get the best out of them.
