Unlike some on here one username is enough for me"
Is it? Your AKA on now too.

By Jasus I don't know what to make of this reply. One might say that your reply was a typical Piers Morgan reply when Arsenal lose.

A lot of the people on here need to grow up - arguing like children. It's not even banter, just complete nonsense.

Replying To Cumann1:  "If Fitzgerald hadn't gone to Love Island he would be starting. Obviously when he left ye had to put someone in there. Ye put kelly in first and hernon in the last game. Fitzgerald has played more games for Galway than Hernon.
That's Fitzgerald, Cooke and Culhane that didn't commit to Galway this year and Thompson has missed a lot of the season. Those lads obviously don't see Galway winning an All Ireland this year"
A bit like Oisin Mullin and Kobe...

So you know for definite that Fitzgerald would be starting in fullback? Didn't know you were Padraig Joyce or that he uses this app!

If appearances decided who's going to start then why wasn't Cillian O'Connor in for Darragh Beirne or Kobe or Rob Hennelly in for Jack Livingston?

Matthew Thompson is doing his college erasmus, God help he has an education, Peter Cooke isn't playing this year because of his work commitments would clash with it so he chose work for the year, not the first time it's happened.

Sean Fitzgerald and Tomo Culhane obviously discussed their involvement with the team this year with Padraig Joyce and its quite clear that Joyce said that they wouldn't get as much minutes as they'd have liked and now Sean Fitzgerald has gone to Love Island and Tomo Culhane trying his hand at AFL.

It doesn't mean that they don't rate Galway's chances of winning. Sounds like you want to begrudge Matthew Thompson his education, Peterborough Cooke of his livelihood and Sean Fitzgerald and Tomo Culhane opportunities for money income. Odd behaviour to do that.

Replying To Saynothing:  "That's true but when Roscommon won the provincial championship they were licking their lips at the prospect of meeting Tyrone in the Hyde. How things change."
Utter nonsense.

As per usual, a very weak reply

Yes, utter nonsense in hindsight.

Replying To Lúla571210:  "Complaining for the sake of it. Kerry could have easily learned from last year.
Louth win Leinster lose first game.
Donegal win Ulster lose first game.
Galway win Connacht lose first game."
I was actually beating on that drum of a warning. Still flawed though that that situation is occurring. Knockout playoffs to qualify for the All Ireland would sort that out.

Knockout playoffs called the backdoor were there previous but people weren't happy with that either? I thought it was a good and fair system to be honest.
