He was having a good cry to the referee at full time from what I could see.

That was brilliant. Best display by Dublin team in over ten years.

Guaranteed qualification and good chance of making final.

The defence with Rushie there has transformed team.

Galway Football thread - 1 Like(s)

Replying To jam83:  "Have to disagree. This Galway team have gone down fighting in every single match in the last 3-4 years. They've lost matches by the bare minimum and have pulled back huge deficit, 3 times last summer they were effectively out of that championship in different seconds halves yet fought back to survive, or at least only get beaten by the minimum.
Watch Comer's goal hit the net last Sunday, I didn't notice at the match but watch how many of the Galway lads near him have the arms up in celebration. Most players nowadays just jog back to position after a goal, that match last Sunday looked like it meant a huge amount to the Galway players the way they celebrated that goal.
Galway played very very well last Sunday and showed huge fight and character. To go 6 up against that wind, while losing most kickouts, is a sign of character. There's a stat about turnovers I don't have to hand, I think most of Galways scores came from turnovers? That's serious fight."
Exactly how many times have they looked dead and buried between championship last year and the league this year and came back and found a way to get a result, some of the negativity here is just over the top. We definitely have some issues but losing a connacht final to a very good roscommon side isn't the end of the world.
As for Fitzgerald, he's been solid at full back the last few years but he's entitled to do what he likes in his personal life, not much different to Thompson going to the US or Cooke going abroad

He's definitely out as he was playing soccer for Barna in Eamon Deacy Park during the week. I've heard Joyce remark on numerous occasions that Mayo were "miles ahead"'of us before he came in. He's either claiming credit unfairly or has a short memory, Kevin Walsh was the man who made us competitive in the modern game. We got to 2 AI finals in 3 years when Cian O'Neill came in as coach but we have become very open defensively since he left. Not sure what Graham & Galligan bring to the set up, our kickout & goalkeeper issues show no sign of being resolved. Joyce has had 7 years now and still hasn't sorted these.

Ring Cup 2026 (Tier 3) - 1 Like(s)

Replying To sponger:  "Hard luck to Roscommon today and I hope they come back up next year.

With a league title as well I think Bosco has done his best.

I do have to say however that Kerry being in the Christy Ring is not much use to them and certainly no benefit to the other teams in the competition.

Somebody should look at that."
Football county boards aren't going to make changes. Meath and Kildare were swapping places between Joe Mac and Ring for a few years. The hurling league and championship are too similar. Joe Mac should have at least 8 and Ring level should have at least 8 as well.

Way off the pace every since the Kilkenny game tbh.

Got lucky that that we weren't punished against Offaly and Kildare.
