I get your sentiment but re the Salthill/Castlelawn Heights thing... yes that's part of the general area that Eiro Og covers but the fact is that there is absolutely no parish "boundaries" in the city and the parish rule does not apply there. Not saying it's right but that is the way it is. Much like in Dublin you can be from Lucan but play with Kilmacud if you so choose. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1275 - 06/09/2024 15:49:34 2568733 Link 0 |

To be fair to Mick Lundy he transferred underage and was living in corofin at the time. Think there is a big difference between an underage player transferring as you put in resources to develop them vs an already established adult player who just joins.

Cian O Neill after leaving Galway for Kerry, didnt see that coming, knew he wasn't going to continue but to jump ship to Kerry is disappointing Galway456 (Galway) - Posts: 102 - 06/09/2024 18:51:22 2568765 Link 0 |

What is the parish rule? Is it the civil parish or a particular religious denomination, civil and religious are vastly different in size as are the varying denominations.Players playing for teams outside their area is a long standing tradition in Galway football, the 56 team had a few outsiders in it' ranks and the 3 in row team had players from outside counties and other areas within the county playing other than their home area clubs who invariably were the strongest clubs at the time.Saying these were living the area concerned doesn't pass the smell test every time. The situation today is broadly in line with the past. the only difference is the club names. Information technology is the greatest difference, making all facts and rumours available to a much bigger audience. backtooldwall (Galway) - Posts: 122 - 06/09/2024 20:14:52 2568769 Link 0 |
Cian O'Neill gone. Definitely a loss but probably understandable given good commute. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1885 - 06/09/2024 20:18:59 2568771 Link 0 |
You are absolutely correct regarding boundaries in the city. Both players mentioned are GP's in the city and live and work there. They are entitled to join any club in the city that they see fit. Regarding the players that joined Moycullen, apparently that was down to Don Connellan and again with no boundaries, why not? Tom Clarke, mayo, Niall Walsh, leitrim (Now on county panel thanks to Moycullen) and Gallagher, Antrim, can hardly be expected to travelling home 3 days a week for training and matches.

Cian O'Neill out... What's the thoughts? Possibly the start of a lot of changes on the management team... TwoYellowCards (Galway) - Posts: 14 - 06/09/2024 21:15:39 2568776 Link 0 |

Thanks to Cian O'Neill. Nice guy and was all in as Galway coach. We were a shambles defensively before his arrival. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1885 - 06/09/2024 22:07:51 2568784 Link 0 |
I said after the All Ireland final that Cian O'Neill would be departing, was to leave last year yet he reached a compromise with Joyce to stay on another year. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 209 - 06/09/2024 22:35:48 2568786 Link 0 |
What are you on about. James Nallen lives in Claregalway. Annaghdown won a championship with Matt Duggan from Longford. Milltown have Mike Martin from Cortoon playing for them and recently James Kavanagh from Kildare, the last time they were in a county final they had John Cullinane from Oranmore Maree. Caherlistrane had Johnny Glynn from Ardrahan playing for them a few years ago and Donal Feeney from Barna. Michael Lundys father played for Glynsk and moved to the area when they were kids. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 433 - 06/09/2024 22:52:06 2568789 Link 0 |
Long commute for him from Cork to be fair. Probably part of the attraction in going back to Kerry. Much closer to home.
