Replying To TheBishop: "Kickouts haven't been the reason we've come up short the last 4 years. We'll win our fair share of possession against anyone.
I think Gleeson has improved in that department and its a totally different proposition when D'Arcy, Maher, Tierney & McDaid are in the team. Thompson must have got his hands on more breaking ball then anyone else last year, nearly always in the right place.
We played in patches all last year, a good 10 minutes hear and there. We were awful against Meath and still were in a good position too win that match.
The team need a few new players too freshen things up, the early signs are good especially in the forwards. I'm sure Cogger will get his chance once the Sigerson is out of the way but Galways need in defence not as desperate as it is in midfield/forwards." Despite all our giants on the pitch, Meath dominated us in midfield and we still pumped long ball out. We need a plan B and some movement. I would question Gleeson's execution on those mid kickouts. His range is nowhere near Ryan, Beggan, Patton or even Hennelly who is much maligned in Mayo circles. There are a pile of club keepers in Galway with a better kickout that Gleeson. If Galway had a keeper of Hennelly's quality and free taking, we would have won 2 All-Irelands by now.

National Football League 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To legendzxix: "Division One:
Armagh v Galway
Mayo v Dublin
Donegal v Kerry
Roscommon v Monaghan
D1. Three top 7 clashes. Tough away day to Donegal. All four games could go either way.
Division Two:
Kildare v Offaly
Derry v Tyrone
Louth v Cork
Cavan v Meath
D2. Three top 14 clashes. Can Kildare follow up their draw away to Tyrone and break into the top 14? Offaly need to bounce back with a win, as do all who lost on the opening day. All four D2 games can also go either way." The League is definitely the best competition in Football.

Allianz protest - 1 Like(s)
Replying To zinny: "Look I don't have an issue with people protesting and it is genuine GAA people who are not happy rather than it being used as another stick to beat the GAA from distractors outside of it. I think the GAA has done the best they can here and there is enough distance between what happens and PIMCO and Allianz that continuing with them as sponsor is justified. If it was found that Musgraves continued to import goods from Israel to sell in their shops, I would take a very different view and yet I don't believe they have given that commitment. People may take the view that its an individuals responsibility to check if they are buying them or not - I would not take that stand. While I personally always check where good come from, a lot of people don't and it is at times well hidden.
However I think you may have missed one important point and I will use an example. Two major tech companies named in the report are big corporation tax payers in Ireland and for that matter another one is the biggest trading corporate with Israel who also pays a lot of corporation tax. We use their products daily as well. We personally or indirectly through our governments tax take and distribution of that tax are already morally compromised. Complaining then that the GAA is taking money from Allianz while not recognizing that we also do the same is where I have the issue. As I said if we were to recognize our own failings and understand the nature of what the complaint is against Allianz then I believe there is no issue." This continuous raising of other issues/companies in people's lives is a red herring. If I decide to donate to concern for example people don't say why concern, why no x,y and z.
Also surely people can genuinely see the difference between a sponsorship relationship which involves mutual endorsement and a customer client relationship which does not.

Replying To TopDrawer: "Any Wicklow players in the Sigerson?" Conor Fee and Joe Prendergast started for TUD the other night, Jack Hardy on the bench for Maynooth. That was it as far as I could see

Great to see Carrabine back in the squad. Hopefully he's fit in next couple of games. Harte back also and will surely start on Sunday. Need a big performance on Sunday to get the league up and running. Keaney didn't make the squad that's a pity as looks a very good player. Apart from that very strong squad.
