Replying To Claretandblue: "Galway had seven clear goal scoring opportunities, they're operating on a different level to us and that's fine. They're potential All Ireland winners. Our next target after Sunday is division 2 and to stay there for 2-3 years. We hopefully will get close to Galway's level in 3-4 years time with the necessary strength work and talented prospects coming through who fulfill potential."
While I agree with that target . I think at the earliest opportunity the county board should ratify mark mchugh and his management team
Haven't been on in awhile and OMG.... some people calling themselves supporters. No doubt galway were a better team Sunday, they are physically bigger and a few years ahead of us in both development and structures within the county. Westmeath senior football team have been nothing less than unbelievable this year, would you you just look at the flags and jerseys everywhere. To think no mistakes will be made in games and there have been in every game is also showing a poor level of knowledge of the game.
Westmeath have stars all over the pitch, 20 of them in fact all year. Mark mcHugh deserves great credit, having lost players from last year, having picked up so many season ending injuries, NOT once have I heard him complain.
The players believe in what he is doing and following him.
If any of those negative voices and those criticising players were in o'moore park or wexford pk in the league, you will see the work this team has done and what they have sacrificed for the supporters and county, please god ya wouldn't criticise them.
My only worry is the impact of the last number of weeks on the players bodies and minds, they have to be on the last legs. Going to the well week after week.
Best of luck Sunday to the entire panel, 1 game away from an all-ireland quarter final, its just the stuff of dreams and is achievable. Iarmhi abu
