Replying To yew_tree: "I love thee way some Galway fans are counting provincial titles as a big thing these days (inc a Connacht Ladies title). Funny when Mayo were winning Connacht every year we were told it was no big deal." Yeah your right - lets concentrate on All Ireland's.....so its still Galway then that are the last and will be the next ones to bring Sam west . Cheers for reminding me.

great idea. With a combined famine of nearly 45 years I'd love to see this happen. I'd have to leave the country if ye won the hurling anyway tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 05/07/2017 14:02:56 2010986 Link

Replying To The_DOC: "Tipp average an AI once every 10 years - hardly in a position to gloat over a dual county." Hardly gloating - did ,y attempt at humour hit a nerve?! Average an All Ireland every 4.7 years for your information compared to Galway's average of 32 years in the hurling, but ya I'd still love to see ye split into 4! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 06/07/2017 09:16:41 2011356 Link
Replying To tiobraid: "great idea. With a combined famine of nearly 45 years I'd love to see this happen. I'd have to leave the country if ye won the hurling anyway" I like your idea of adding the amount of years since a county won the football to the amount of years a county has won the hurling to create a combined amount of years that looks really bad. Shall we try it with your county next? Wests_Awake (Galway) - Posts: 877 - 06/07/2017 10:48:38 2011403 Link

Not at all - sure we're think skinned ever since the Tony Keady incident! It means more after 32 years! The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 708 - 06/07/2017 12:06:29 2011442 Link
Galway will have to be at their best against Roscommon It's not so long ago that the same Galway side were dismantled by a Tipp team missing the spine of their team. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/07/2017 12:17:06 2011449 Link

Replying To The_DOC: "Galway have only lost once (robbed by a late goal Vs Meath in the league) since...." Galway haven't played a knock out championship match since Tipp hammered them. They won't play one until after the Rossie match either way. Knockout games are what you're judged on. All the rest is just shadow boxing Pookie_Monster (Galway) - Posts: 32 - 06/07/2017 14:08:31 2011515 Link
Replying To Pookie_Monster: "Galway haven't played a knock out championship match since Tipp hammered them. They won't play one until after the Rossie match either way. Knockout games are what you're judged on. All the rest is just shadow boxing" Are you for real? League is a far better indication of a progress of a team over a given period of time, it removed outliers which I believe the Tipp game last year was (no offence to Tipp I believe you deserved to win the game, but Galway I believe took the game for granted, got tactics wrong and also training wrong as players were out on their feet in that game - so apologies to all Tipp fans, I truely mean no offence) The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 708 - 06/07/2017 14:20:54 2011519 Link

Galway didn't take that game for granted. Ye weren't good enough on the day. League is an indication of how fit and well prepared a team is early in the year as Wexford hurlers proved. the best teams come to the top in the cship. Galway hurlers being the prime example. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 06/07/2017 14:39:55 2011530 Link
Tipp were lucky to get the one point win last year, the 2 mins of extra time left Galway in a frantic panic to get the equalizer. officials gave all other big games 5 to 7+ minutes in both codes, not blaming Tipp for it obviously. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1670 - 06/07/2017 16:47:43 2011578 Link

Fck sakes, we beat ye fair and square in 2016 just like ye did in 2015. In 2015 we put our hand up and said the best team won.

I thought that Galway was already split in three - one part of the county playing rugby; a second part playing hurling and a third part playing football. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 07/07/2017 17:54:52 2012083 Link
