Replying To Knocknadrough:  "According to the examiner it looks like Fitzy is in the shakeup for love island starting in majorca on June 1st ...disapointing but explains a lot if true"
Well he has a better chance of scoring in love island than playing full back for Galway.
Hard to blame the young fella.

Replying To Galwayboy64:  "Galway have plenty of talented footballers but too many of them seem more interested in building a profile than building a legacy for the county. A prime example is one individual leaving the squad to go on a reality TV show.

The passion and intensity that Galway teams used to have just isn't there anymore. That comes back to culture and in my opinion Joyce has to answer for that. Should have been nipped a long time ago. We are being laughed at by other counties with this headline."
Have to disagree. This Galway team have gone down fighting in every single match in the last 3-4 years. They've lost matches by the bare minimum and have pulled back huge deficit, 3 times last summer they were effectively out of that championship in different seconds halves yet fought back to survive, or at least only get beaten by the minimum.
Watch Comer's goal hit the net last Sunday, I didn't notice at the match but watch how many of the Galway lads near him have the arms up in celebration. Most players nowadays just jog back to position after a goal, that match last Sunday looked like it meant a huge amount to the Galway players the way they celebrated that goal.
Galway played very very well last Sunday and showed huge fight and character. To go 6 up against that wind, while losing most kickouts, is a sign of character. There's a stat about turnovers I don't have to hand, I think most of Galways scores came from turnovers? That's serious fight.
