Replying To ColmFlaherty: "Last time we're deemed as big favourites for a game in Croke Park they got embarrassed...." When was that? We haven't been big favourites for a game in Croke Park for a long time. Favourites for this year's Leinster final obviously, not big favourites, but we won that comfortablly. We might have been slight favourites against Kilkenny in the Leinster final in 2020. We threw that away, but it was a tight game. Favourites in 2018, went well behind but almost levelled it at the end. We certainly weren't favourites for any of our Croke Park games against Limerick after that.

Apparently over 25,000 Galway people going with Galweigins who live in Dublin could be over 30000 supporting the men in maroon and white....Cork will probably have 50000 supporters there. All is calm before the storm, the vibe is quietly confident from chatting Galway people if Galway produce the goods Galway will win. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2899 - 03/07/2026 14:07:01 2683935 Link

Lapse of concentration was meant to have said last time Cork were favourites in Croke Park they got embarrassed. ColmFlaherty (Galway) - Posts: 144 - 03/07/2026 15:37:04 2683959 Link

Replying To katser: "Getting set for an absolute cracker of a All Ireland Semi Final between Galway v Cork. Galway have a fine team with a good mix of youth and experience and are well able to match Cork man v man.all over the field. Cork might have the legs but Galway definitely are more physical and have the skills to hurt Cork. I'm loving the situation Galway are in......no talk, nobody gives them a chance, 4 weeks off, Cork apparently Getting ready for the All Ireland Final. I can feel the mother of all ambushes coming.......Galway to win by 2pts." Have to eat humble pie with my prediction congrats to Galway great display lovely style of hurling well done .

Cusack needs to have more respect for Golwaaay....that would be a start. First round of the NHL....said Galway hurlers were like de sponsors.....de supermac burger......looks lovely and invoiting.....but when you take a boite out of it, it doesn't taste too good at all. They didn't even take a bite today. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4845 - 04/07/2026 17:52:48 2684190 Link

Congratulations, Galway. Keep the heads and with that skill and work rate, ye are good enough to win it out, irrespective of whether it is Clare or Limk (50-50 game). Ye totally mastered Cork! Bossed them all over the field and they simply were not able to stand up to it! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2593 - 04/07/2026 18:53:54 2684210 Link
