Replying To ahsure.: "That's all well and good but when is the last time Galway did 4 in a row in Connacht?" '82-'87 did 5 out of 6, which was better in a way, unless Galway win it next year, and do their own 5 out of 6. The difference between Galway's 4 in a row '22-25, and Mayo's '11-'15 or Ros '77-'80, is that Galway were winning in less dominant fashion in Connacht as their reign progressed. We accumulated 4 in a row, with only paper thin margins of victory over Mayo, despite all the grandiose talk of being a generational team. Then again, Sam now resides in Mayo, which proves conclusively that they were never far off us '22-'25.

Replying To Claretandblue: "There wasn't a whole lot wrong overall but the championship display versus Kildare in Cusack Park surely signalled the end for that management group. The first half display was shambolic and if you add in the display against Louth then it's a lot of damning evidence against the management." Have to agree, fairly hammered against Louth (no defensive structure), steadied against a poor Wexford side. Good win over the Dubs might have glossed the year a bit. Then the Kildare was desperate, no tactics, kickouts were just boot it long, game was over after 20 mins and that shouldn't happen with the talent that was in that team. let Kildare pass it around for the whole 2nd half until they walked the ball over the bar.

Replying To sporto: "Anyone know who is on the committee to pick the next senior manager?" Not sure on commitee, wonder would Kieran Kieran's be a candidate for the job?
Seems to know his stuff on the farney podcast, has a wide range of knowledge on all levels of club football especially junior

Replying To ColmFlaherty: "Oughterard lost by about 10 points to Tuam in r1.
How was McHugh for MM seeing as he's been touted as the Clifford of the Galway championship.
Oughterard should give Moycullen a game but I'd still fancy Moycullen. Same goes for MM and Salthill." My prediction:
Oughterard
Moycullen
Corofin
Annadown
One of the "big 3" will be the shock exit . It won't be Corofin. Will be either Maigh Cuillin knocked out by MM, or Salthill by Oard.

Replying To MinorChamp_09: "lol" Don't really see what's funny about thinking it'll be competitive? People thought that Annaghdown would be bottom of their group, thought they'd lose to Tuam and yet their one of the unbeaten teams in the championship.

Replying To Gearoid1998ffowaed: "Thoughts lads from this weekend everyone?
Hot contenders Tuam are out.
Oughterard a suberb win. They can't keep leaving it this late in the game to get it together tho. Must be absolutely kicking themselves not to top the group in the first place. If they can get their head around it and get their confidence right, they can definitely beat Salthill. Do they realise that themselves is the question.
MM were playing great football, Joyce didn't take advantage of the Dalys half enough.
Are Salthill and Maigh Cuillin as safe as they think they are? One of them won't be the shock not in the semis I feel.
Heart has to go out to Monivea Abbey." Nothing against Tuam but curious to know why they are always considered 'hot contenders'?.
Same story every year, a lot of work done for the league and look superior to other teams in March/April, and go flat when they should be humming.
A big backroom team that allowed Damien Comer to be left isolated against Annaghdown.
They have talented players on paper but I wonder do they believe in their own hype too much.

Replying To peiledoir20: "Intermediate and Junior SF - WE 27/08
Intermediate and Junior F - WE 04/10" Madness that there is only 1 week between Semi Final and Final considering that the Quarter Finals of Ulster Intermediate Championship ( v Fermanagh Champions) isn't until 8th November.
Surely a 2 week break would have better then 3 weeks to the Ulster game?

Replying To Matthew: "Shane Lowry showed his class last night.. with that sing song. The league game should be good fun in the new year! Hopefully it's in Offaly and we give them a nice hammering in Tullamore!" Nothing new from Shane there, its a regular theme for him. Hopefully plenty of Westmeath people see it and we give him a little payback in the league

If Claregalway are as good as you think they are then either way they shouldn't have too much bother.

Heard manager stood down immediately after.
Heard from a workmate in tuam this morning that big changes needed throughout adult football in Tuam.

Replying To sponger: "Over here in Kildare in the Intermediate Championship, there are 4 groups of 4. Top 2 go forward to the A quarter finals, bottom 8 play in the B championship, with a relegation final.
3 teams playing off is ridiculous." We had a system only two yrs ago of two groups of 6 teams were involved. Top four in each qualified for quarters or semis, bottom two played off with bottom team relegated. This didn't suit as there were two extra games to be played in each group. I think it was possibly our intercounty involvement in the latter stages of the TC which prompted the three by four grouping. And it was repeated for this year. Obviously the majority of clubs voted for it, but it certainly is an odd one. Top 2 in each group qualify, while two of the "best" third placed teams make up the last 8. The other third placed team is in a kind of limbo, iimmune to relegation but no more football until next year. God bless the thought processes of whoever came up with this formula. Does any other county have a similar system.

Replying To Wicklowmen: "Interesting weekend alright. Balto are my favourites I think going forward.
Steering away from the top side of the championship, I see Kiltegan and Hollywood drew in the first relegation game. Was anyone at it? I heard Hollywood kicked a lot of wides in the second half and should have been clear despite needing a late goal to salvage the draw. I think both teams plus Carnew will be kicking themselves they're in the relegation particularly Hollywood having drew with Eire og and only losing to Rathnew and tinahely by 2 points.
Further, does anyway else feel the relegation structure is an absolute farce? Having a 3 teams in relegation lends itself to situations where teams can be relegated on score difference plus the team who doesn't play in the final round game is at a serious disadvantage as the other two teams may seek a result that could relegate the first team. Don't see why there's not 4 teams in relegation and have a straight forward relegation semi final and final. Would appreciate peoples thoughts?" The previous championship structure was far superior to what is currently in place.
Two groups of 6, top four go to quarter final and bottom two play relegation final. Every team was guaranteed 5 championship games, which I think is only right given the amount of work and preparation that clubs and players invest each year.
The new structure is a mess and does not create a great championship. One 3rd placed team goes out on score difference, Tinahely this time. Bray got through despite being really poor and winning one game. It favours whoever gets the easier group. A round robin for relegation is a disaster, teams in the last game can create the scoreline they both need to stay up.
The Wicklow championship switched to the current format last minute in 2025 due to lack of planning by the County board when Wicklow reached the Tailteann semi-final. It was retained for 2026, which was a mistake. Hopefully it is put back to two groups of 6 for 2027, which created very good championships when it was in place.
