Replying To Kinvara: "Pearse Stadium has a bigger pitch than croke park!" Yep, its the classic (RTE) commentators throw away comment that makes no sense about the vast open spaces of Croke Park, not taking into account that the likes of Pearse Stadium (amongst other County ground) are actually either the same size as they are modeled on Croker or, in fact, larger!

Replying To systematic: "Very true! I remember being a young lad first time playing in pearse and thinking this place is massive compared to all the other tight swampy club grounds." An Spidéal, might just be the same size as well - its massive! The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 856 - 24/06/2026 11:42:48 2681672 Link
RIP Paul Clancy, extremely tough week especially for his family and friends, and all of Galway football fraternity. He was such a lovely fella, and a stylish footballer. A win on Sunday in croke Park would be a fitting tribute to our double All Ireland winner Belclare98 (Galway) - Posts: 26 - 24/06/2026 15:25:33 2681705 Link

A win on Sunday in croke Park would be a fitting tribute to our double All Ireland winner" Was thinking the exact same, getting the win on Sunday and hopefully bringing Sam Maguire back would be fitting considering he was key part of bringing it back in 01.

Replying To Jonnytest: "I always thought pearse stadium was one of the more narrow county grounds." It's as wide as a GAA pitch can be, 90m. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2909 - 25/06/2026 08:08:47 2681780 Link

More a case of those who cannot see what they are looking at. With regards to club grounds I remember hearing of Mayo staying in a hotel in Oughterard while preparing for one of their all Ireland finals and using Moycullen pitch to train in because its size being slightly bigger than Croke Park.I must admit that this is based on hearsay. backtooldwall (Galway) - Posts: 235 - 25/06/2026 10:10:11 2681809 Link

Very sad news about Paul Clancy. A lot of mention has been on his superb pass to Meehan in the 2000 replay but his point against Armagh in 2001 qualifier was arguably just as good if not more important. I vividly remember celebrating that point with my father at home when he put it over and it was a crucial moment on the way to going one step better later that summer. As has been mentioned already, he was superb club man for Mhaigh Cuilinn and will not only be a huge loss for the club, but indeed football across the county. I sincerely hope the lads knock over a few two pointers in the same manner he did against Armagh on Sunday in tribute to his memory.

My heartfelt condolences to all in Galway GAA on the passing of Paul Clancy. He was a tough footballer who played the game with class. Following his playing career, by all accounts, he was exactly the kind of person every GAA club and county needs, doing hard work behind the scenes for the next generation.
