Galway won by 9 points. The closest Wexford got to Galway in the 2nd half was 4 points behind. Yet you compare this to a much more closely contested AI Final, which Galway have won once in the last 30 years? Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2445 - 20/08/2018 20:13:53 2135002 Link 0 |

Leaving early never seems to be a problem with the Dubs but getting them in on time is the problem. They don't appear to have adjusted to the abolition of the "holy hour", well some of them anyway.

Yes I do. It was a riposte to what was a sniggering sly after the event dig by someone who's obviously forgotten how his own county-men have done the very same thing many times themselves.

I'm glad you called them Galway people because they certainly aren't Galway supporters. Any who do that, have no interest in hurling and shouldn't have a ticket to a game. However id imagine many were also neutrals. I remember the same thing with the Cork Limerick semi, lots of cork people left when they went down 6/7 points but there was still 5 mins of time to go. Very strange. Miami305 (Galway) - Posts: 147 - 21/08/2018 10:18:13 2135153 Link 0 |
I stayed until the bitter end and beyond, but look its a personal thing and every county has them. The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 705 - 21/08/2018 10:56:21 2135171 Link 0 |
League game with Cavan last year was. Think that's the last one but not certain.

I have always found that Galway have a disproportionate amount of fair weather bandwagon supporters who are quick to criticize at the drop of a hat!! The sacrifices these players make to give us such enjoyment deserve a lot better. Since 2012 I have noticed the hurlers support has improved somewhat but that is partly due to the success of the team. In both hurling and football I always wait til the final whistle and at finals wait til the presentation is over. Even at bad defeats and im thinking Mayo in Pearse stadium, Kilkenny in thurles multiple times spring to mind where supporters flocked to the exits with a good 15/20 mins to go. Sometimes we just have to accept the beat team wins and appreciate their talent on show jkiamasnake (Galway) - Posts: 81 - 24/08/2018 18:33:18 2136392 Link 0 |
I waited on for all the recent defeats...last year was the worst and I never saw so many Mayo fans still in their seats long after the whistle and I to the speech...I think everyone was just exchaused after what they had just witnessed...

TBH hadn't been to a Galway Monaghan game before (was on holiday for league clash), so it was great to go to salthill for the super 8's. Expected so much from the home team & from the home supporters. Disappointed on both accounts. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 24/08/2018 21:10:22 2136427 Link 0 |
My father always made us leave early to beat the traffic, it was annoying as I would have liked to have seen Armagh lift the Ulster cup in 2000, I've never seen an Ulster trophy presentation to this day PattyONeill (Derry) - Posts: 220 - 24/08/2018 21:27:27 2136433 Link 0 |
