The slow demise of Galway football

Looks like it was bit early to be writing Galway's obituary this year.

I'm not sure will people ever learn, always wait until the end of championship to judge a team.

Well it's worth noting this thread was started by a Galway poster.

I know, the Galway board had no optimism for the coming year at all myself included although I did say it was only fair to wait until the end of the championship to judge Kevin Walsh.

Rumours that the OP could have been an ex-Sligo footballer !

Amazing what one win or two can do to change the mindset of fans.

Replying To thebadbounce:  "what demise sure we are in a semi final against mayo,win that the last 12 of the all ireland guaranteed lots of counties wont get that far.
SURELY WE can be up for one game,by the way roscommon would worry more about galway than we would about them."
AS i predicted so last eight now surely we can beat tipp clare derry and tyrone to get to AIfinal. DEMISE WHAT DEMISE?

No they are not, When has McBearthy ever produced? He is very overrated in my opinion. Peter Canavan claimed he was in top ten players in country last year and it was laughable,he has never ever had a good game. Very easy mark he gets the ball does a big loop around the D and shoots. More often than not wide. I was at sigerson semi finals this year and he was a big let down had a very poor game I was also at Roscommon game when we beat them and he was very poor again. Every time I have seen him on tv he has been average at best. So when has he ever had a good game? Wouldn't make Roscommon team simple as."
You still stand by that ?

Replying To SpionKop:  "The last time Galway footballers won a game in Croke Park, the Hogan Stand was under reconstruction, Kerry had lost an All-Ireland semi-final by 15 points, Dublin had gone six years without a Leinster title, Armagh and Tyrone were still waiting for their first All-Ireland senior football titles link

With our latest endeavors to reach the top divison fizzling out , and managing to only secure 2 wins from 7 in divison 2, where does Galway football go next?
success at u21 and with corofin winning the all ireland club championship, has had little or no influence in bringing the tribesmen to even being a sniff of what they where in the early 00s. I really do fear for oursakes again this summer, Roscommon and Mayo are thundering ahead of us! With our unwillingness to give up adopt to the modern game and its physicality being a major factor."
You were saying !
