Very impressed with the tackling, interceptions and blocks from the Galway minor defenders. Especially since they were absolutely cleaned on their own kickouts. Kept kicking it long and lost 90% of them. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2198 - 25/06/2022 20:24:08 2427486 Link 0 |
Senior finals perhaps, Mayo have a better record in underage finals. Won Minor in 2013 and 2016 U21.

To be honest i would say most people dont take any of these pundits seriously Some of them are making it up as they go along Others like Spillane are like broken records same old crap all the time rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 26/06/2022 10:12:05 2427531 Link 0 |

Galway never do it the easy way not good for the heart but eventually got over the line via a penalty shootout for a deserved win. McDaid with a serious impact in extra time. Tierney i thought was one of Galways best players normal time. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 26/06/2022 19:46:58 2427735 Link 0 |
Wow. Grit determination composure. What a performance. 3 terrible goals to concede but apart from that we defended really well. We refused to be bullied, stood up to their thuggery. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1824 - 26/06/2022 20:14:36 2427748 Link 1 |

Yes Galway certainly looked a real good football team today.

Could be wrong but I think that Galway lad on the ground was jumped on by an Armagh lad in a no. 27 bib. It would be a disgrace if Kelly is not cleared for the semi. Armagh have a lot of previous with brawls, saw it first hand against Cavan in 2014 during the pre match parade. Morgan very lucky to stay on the pitch too, they went after Walsh from the off.

'Bullied' 'thuggery' - calm down (or ask the referee at the Connacht Semi-Final between Mountbellew/Moylough and Padraig Pearses ). Galway were brilliant and fully deserved the win, BOTH teams played good hard proper football with passion. Yes like all games there were unsavoury incidents, yes there was a melee (google gaa melees) and you will see this has happened for decades by all counties and galway were as guilty as armagh for that incident. The person who grabbed at the face of the galway player should be banned for life from our association. I'd love to see galway or derry win now for a change, thanks to galway for their part in a great game of football and Pádraig Joyce has again showed his pure class as a GAA man .

Cant believe there is still references to the club game. But since it was brought up , I have to make the point that what the Mountbellew players did was nothing like what went on by both teams yesterday. No Mtbellew player eye gouged or threw a slap. There is a big difference between these acts and a push. And with all the furore about that club incident there were only 2 pieces of actual physical contact made , and lets be honest, both were fairly mild pushes. Again, as ive said countless times before , it was wrong , and there was no excuse for it , but to compare it to what went on yesterday when lads could have lost their sight or suffered broken jaws ....please have perspective.

The heart rate is only settling down now! What a day we had up in Croke Park yesterday, it was absolutely magic to win that game. Yes, mistakes galore at the end of normal time but probably the most exciting game of football I've witnessed in decades. There are times when you see young lads turn into men on the field and that happened earlier this year for a lot of these Galway lads imo. And then there are times when you see a group of men turn into total warriors for your county - and that's what we witnessed yesterday, nothing surer. Look at the photo of Tierney after he blasted home that winning penalty, and the head nearly taken off him with a high hit not long before. That's a warrior and every last man in maroon and white was as well. From a great vantage point there you could see the off the ball stuff they dealt with and endless work these lads put in for 100 minutes. The cameras just can't pick up on all of that. Lord above, you'd be out of breath watching it. I'm not going into analysis now, only to say that myself and those in our group at the match couldn't be prouder of these lads and all the management and backroom team. They've now been through the furnace and there's steel tempered there that just couldn't have been before. The full sails have gone up on the Galway ship and she's picking up speed, roll on Derry, bring it on. Gaillimh Abú!!! togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 894 - 27/06/2022 09:21:30 2427839 Link 2 |
Was there yesterday and really hard to believe the game that unfolded. Must be one of the most epic games I've ever been at. Cbar (Mayo) - Posts: 307 - 27/06/2022 09:24:57 2427842 Link 2 |
No offence to the goalkeeper but he looked very unsure of himself, cant seem to catch a highball in , palms rather than fists a ball away . Easily dispossessed , a classic soccer goalie trying to play football. . Looks like been Galways Achilles heel against the goal hungry Derry in the semi final!

Who was the linesman on the Hoganstand side for the second half when Shane Walsh was repeatedly fouled? Did nothing all game! As for the fourth official.............

Tierney, Finnerty and McDaid were absolutely sensational. Finnerty especially with his score-taking I thought was brilliant, how he seems to find that extra yard of space every time to stroke it over. I think he dropped one short and had one wide, but other than that everything sailed over the black spot. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 27/06/2022 10:33:53 2427892 Link 0 |
Weird thing is lads I can't say I really need enjoyed that. We should never have been in that position and if we had lost on penalties it would have been a disaster. smallfrank (Galway) - Posts: 357 - 27/06/2022 10:44:26 2427896 Link 0 |
