Thanks for the confidence in Galway GAA Lover but I'm afraid Colm O'Rourke is usually correct in these things with his vast experience etc. so it looks like Roscommon are going to do the 3 in a row over Galway. Of course I meant to say Eamon O'Hara and I heard him on Off The Ball a couple of days ago saying that he would tip Roscommon if it was a tight match heading into the last few minutes as he is very impressed with their forwards saying that its not a good sign that Galway have a good outfield player like Sean Kelly playing at fullback and Conleith Gilligan said that Galway could be "flaky" so he was edging it to Roscommon also.

Well that's wrong because both OHara and gilligan tipped Galway.

I've a funny feeling Roscommon will out number us in support in Pearce Stadium tomorrow. Roscommon always travel in large numbers.....10,000 + katser (Galway) - Posts: 2188 - 28/05/2022 21:42:26 2420697 Link 0 |
There's nothing funny about that feeling. It's a common theme at Galway football matches for the past decade. I expect there to be more Roscommon supporters in Salthill today, but I'll be delighted if I'm wrong. Go n-éirí linn inniu! WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2018 - 29/05/2022 08:54:41 2420701 Link 0 |
I don't know why you are twisting what they were saying but they both tiped Roscommon from what I heard and Colm O'Rourke is fully convinced that Roscommon are going to do the 3 in a row.

Good luck and safe traveling to both sets of supporters today. I've the draw backed at 8/1 ;) yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 29/05/2022 10:34:22 2420724 Link 0 |
Galway looked good today I must say. However it must be said that roscommon were extremely poor. Put a bit of a gloss on the scoreboard near the end but they looked lethargic and had no system up front at all. It was like a training session at times. howdareu (USA) - Posts: 220 - 29/05/2022 15:22:41 2420760 Link 0 |
I was in Galway on business and decided to take in the second half of what was a very strange game, Galway looked very comfortable yet only won by three points, which certainly flattered Roscommon who looked out of the races for most of the game. The worry for Galway now is that there is a huge step up in standard and quality in the AI series. weatherfieldgael (UK) - Posts: 60 - 29/05/2022 15:29:36 2420761 Link 0 |

Well done . By far the better team today. Better game plan and wanted it way more. Roscommon management have alot of work to do in the next two weeks dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1036 - 29/05/2022 15:44:07 2420764 Link 0 |
Congratulations Galway, well played. Fine, enjoyable game. Great team, plus individual displays by Galway: Walsh, of course, the Kelly's, Finnerty, Comer and Molloy. Plus of course, Harney from Roscommon. He's some player, too. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1887 - 29/05/2022 16:01:38 2420774 Link 0 |
Well I said the only way PJ could redeem himself was a return to div 1 and a connacht title . I had very little faith but absolutely delighted in being wrong. galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 29/05/2022 16:04:11 2420775 Link 1 |
I second that. Galway learned their lessons from previous games, we did not. Thought Ultan and Lavin were our best players.

Roscommon a side always hovering 7th or 8th in rankings, Galway easily 7-8 points better, wouldn't matter who managed Rossies Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1447 - 29/05/2022 16:06:31 2420777 Link 1 |
A 3 point hammering really. Kinda felt like Galway got the slight edge on decisions with the foot block, even though stack was very lucky not to be black carded. The game was well over by then though, and in reality was over 10 mins into the second half. PressureKick (UK) - Posts: 206 - 29/05/2022 16:27:19 2420786 Link 1 |
I wouldn't pay any attention to O'Rouke ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1566 - 29/05/2022 16:50:59 2420791 Link 0 |
Credit where it's due, the goals at the start of the season would have been a return to D1 and a Connacht title so well done to PJ, backroom tram and players on a job well done. 4 weeks to a q/f and lots to work on, kickout still a major issue particularly coming down the stretch. We've been by far the better side v both Mayo & Ros but have fallen over the line due to poor game management in the last 10 mins. That's for another day, I'm sure the lads will enjoy tonight and rightly so. johnjoe21 (Galway) - Posts: 124 - 29/05/2022 16:52:12 2420792 Link 1 |
I was happy enough with the performance but 2-16 was a lot to concede and Sean Cavanagh said at halftime that Galway had plenty of players back in the first half when Roscommon were attacking without any tight defending or tackles going in. He also said a lot of the Galway players "were there to look good but were not really doing anything" which is very true and giving away the 2 sloppy goals in the second half compounded that. A lot done but a lot more to do as they say and a lot of improvements to make. tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3305 - 29/05/2022 16:55:10 2420793 Link 0 |

Galway certainly wore the favourites tag very well today and i don't think from now on should Galway feel uneasy with that tag or chose to play the poor mouth. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 29/05/2022 17:52:20 2420812 Link 0 |
