If there are more pessemistic people than Dublin hurling supporters I don't want to be sitting beside them at the bar!"
Well believe it or not, not every GAA supporter has the same mindset about their team.

Niland left off the 26 for the u20 semi final tomorrow night so he is definitely being spared for the senior game against Dublin on Saturday. Jason Rabbitte and Cullen Killeen only on the bench. Good to see Colm Burke back on the panel after injury. Sean Murphy and Conor Gilligan's injuries haven't cleared up yet but it's still a very strong team

Maybe, I just said back that we'll find out if they're the best team in the Championship.

Indeed I know. I have met quite a few Galway people before matches who appear to have amnesia when it comes to Dublin beating Galway!

Maybe Aaron's injured?

It wouldn't really make sense for Niland to be 'spared for Saturday' though, it's surely more likely that he isn't fit enough to play, otherwise with the matchday panel being expanded to 26 for tomorrow, he would surely be on the bench at least.

Niland was the difference between the teams the first day out and it's not worth taking the chance on leaving him out entirely if he is fit. Wexford have improved since and will take beating tomorrow, especially without Niland.
