Replying To gaillimhboy: "Hypothetically, Armagh win this weekend. Following weekend, Armagh beat Dublin and Galway beat Derry. This would mean that Galway would need to beat Armagh in final game and better their points difference to top the group. If Dublin beat Derry, The Derry game would be taken out of the equation for 3 other teams and the final placing would depend on the games played Galway, Dublin and Armagh. example: were Armagh to beat Dublin by a point, a two point win for Galway over Armagh would see Galway top the group. As the mini table would read Galway 2 points +1 point difference Dublin 2 points 0 point difference Armagh 2 points -1 point difference I want to stress that I'm not saying Derry will lose every game, only speaking hypothetically :)" That's hypothetical alright, seeing that Galway are the only team in the group that have actually lost a game, LOL. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 917 - 21/05/2025 15:02:09 2611572 Link

Galway face a massive task in Celtic Park, Derry are well rested and flying again by all accounts. Top the group! PJ would grab third 3 place now if he could and said as much in post match interview. The 3 hard games v Div 1 teams might stand to Galway, but only time will tell. giveitlong (Galway) - Posts: 1282 - 21/05/2025 16:39:11 2611597 Link
For Galway to win SAM - they need to modify their team/substitute strategy to ensure their main men are on the field when it counts (last 20min). Connor Gleeson; Johnny McGrath, Seán Fitzgerald, Jack Glynn; Dylan McHugh, John Daly, Seán Kelly, John Maher; Matthew Tierney, Peter Cooke, Cillian McDaid, Céin D'Arcy; Matthew Thompson, Robert Finnerty, C. Ó Curraoín SUbs: Liam Silke; Paul Conroy, Damien Comer, Daniel O'Flaherty, Cathal Sweeney, Tomo Culhane, Sam O'Neill, Shane Walsh, Seán Mulkerrin. I think a Galway team finishing with Comer, Walsh and Conroy will do far better than a team where those three are spent after 45mins tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1414 - 21/05/2025 16:45:56 2611599 Link
I prib woukd start Walsh v Derry if comer fit sub in reality comer and Walsh have rarely played well together that's why I'd only start one and prib only finish with one of them both good players but not at same time My team v Derry Flaherty McGrath. Kelly. Glynn Mchugh. Daly. O flaherty Maher / Mcdaid Tierney. Cooke. Darcy Finnerty. Walsh. Thompson Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 1076 - 21/05/2025 17:13:18 2611603 Link

Not saying they won't but they have to worry about getting a result in Derry first. If you offered Joyce third today he would take it 100%.

Loads of football to be played yet, dubs made it a battle and not much in it on scoreboard but they were 5 or 6 better than us, i think we drew in league with derry so it will be hard 1 but team is well capable of getting a result. The group we found ourselves in does not allow u to rest players so dont expect changes from pj. Pluses were game time for daly, cooke, walsh. Hard to with comer, no luck at all with injuries. The 1 thing from last year is u wont get away with playing injured lads in games no matter how good they are. jj19 (Galway) - Posts: 450 - 21/05/2025 23:20:56 2611672 Link
using injured lads cost us dearly in the last few years, its crazy suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1741 - 22/05/2025 09:46:43 2611692 Link
I ss moycullen have recruited Caroline Currid the renowed psychologist who worked with Limerick hurlers last few years. An appointment every county team would be jealous of not to mention club. I believe she has ties with the club similar to Gallagher Clarke Reilly and Maloney etc. She stopped for a 99 back in 2011 on her way to Clifden. :) Eire89 (Galway) - Posts: 333 - 22/05/2025 16:05:17 2611774 Link

U20 Management stepping down. This is a very important appointment now after the past couple of years. I'd be thinking along the lines of Kevin Johnson, Don Connellan, Kevin O'Brien or dare I say it Kevin Walsh smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 512 - 23/05/2025 14:06:07 2611890 Link

With Savo's departure from the under 20s, who is the right fit for the job? I think it's crucial the county board get this right! Will it be the obvious choice of Alan Glynn or who are the other candidates out there that would be suitable, Who would people like to get this job?

Replying To Fox.1n.7he.b0x: "Why does it have to be an ex player that didn't go too well this time around" Whoever it is there should be good working relationship between minor,under 20 and Senior as to style of play as in other successful counties.I don't think there is an issue with having an ex player as selector as it's good for lads to have someone who they admire involved.The manager is different kettle of fish.The manager is a different animal altogether.

Sorry my point was it's always ex players who get these jobs I totally disagree with it ,, it definitely has not worked in Galway at all Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 1076 - 24/05/2025 08:38:25 2612000 Link
Heaney in great form for club at present and will be back In the mix. O Curraoin played with his club also. Think it's only right lads on the fringes or only getting some game time should be asked to play with their clubs, games will bring them on and if they hit form all the better. Heaney a proper club man others should follow suit instead of stewing away on the bench getting a half here and there Sportsfanatic90 (Westmeath) - Posts: 233 - 24/05/2025 11:20:49 2612009 Link
