Replying To GeniusGerry: "Happy enough with that although I can see us struggling for scores from play unless Tommy catches fire. I really hope that flogging O'Shea like this doesn't come back to haunt PK in the summer." The lad should be rested, im not impressed at all if he plays in this. Player welfare needs to come into consideration here. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 22/02/2019 22:29:07 2167042 Link
Replying To rhudson: "I agree some people here seem to know more than kevin walsh as regards the championship team id imagine gary o donnel and gareth bradshaw and sean Kelly are the tried and trusted half back line kevin s not gonna take a risk playng newbies in championship time apart from liam silke who has already provem himself at intercounty theres not gonna be too much change from last year at the early stages now its possible by the end of galways championship run some new players like molloy mc daid. john daly and wall could have won their place on team" O'Donnell wasn't a starter last year. Would be some come back to be one this year but impossible to tell who is first choice right now between injuries and Corofin players being unavailable.

Replying To The_analyser: "Silke and Burke could play for Galway this weekend. How can you be sure Dylan Wall,Kieran Molloy will start this summer? I think both need to fist show well at county senior level before they become sure championship starters." You seem to know a lot about who should or could play. I would be surprised if Silke or Burke play this weekend. Also Wall and Molloy IMO are closer to the first 15 than the very experienced and fantastic servants like Bradshaw and O'Donnell that ye keep saying KW will definitely pick. Bottom line is we are missing a shed load of players and will be an admirable achievement if we stay up. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 23/02/2019 09:41:48 2167082 Link

Come Summer I expect us to be a different proposition presuming KW takes on a more offensive approach as we definitely have the talent and firepower. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 23/02/2019 09:49:10 2167083 Link
Another step towards a league title this year I think. Kerry are flying and it'll be Kerry v Mayo final this year. Two new managers will always get a bounce the first year and that confidence from winning is vital. Kerry by 4/5 points I'd say. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 23/02/2019 11:21:55 2167103 Link
Think this could be tight enough, i have a lot of respect for Galway and what the have in their locker. Similarly Kerry have quality in abundance and are developing a nice counter attacking game. Will be a battle of philosophies can Kerry unlock the defensive system. Will pace and counter win out. Will Kerry be able to deal with a physically imposing team. Dead ball might be crucial and may explain the flagging of young O Shea. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 23/02/2019 11:41:17 2167107 Link

You also seem to know a lot about who should or could play if you are sure that Molloy and Wall are certain championship starters. I don't think O'Donnell will start this summer unless injuries but i believe Bradshaw will as he's one of Walsh's favourites. Were you surprised when Silke and Burke started round 1 v Cavan? You aren't missing as many players as us and if we manage to stay up it would be a far greater achievement considering we were odds on for the drop. I think you are expecting the leopard to change its spots there. Walsh has a set style in place since 2015 that has brought success to Galway and the Roscommon coach you brought in to replace Tally is also defensive minded one.

I think we are missing more key and better players than ye. Fair enough ye were missing a lot last season but not near as many quality ballers this season. Who knows if you are correct on Bradshaw but he is in his early thirties and KW is in his 5th season. While he has brought us a long way same o same o probably will fall short. The reason Silke and Burke started against Cavan was all Corofin players had to play at least a game between early round of league and FBD. They had the least involvement up to that point. That is my understanding of how it works and only realised this arrangement when meeting a Corofin club player at the Cavan game. Slightly different arrangement since Corofin qualified for the final as I understand it but that is only from general conversation and not from a Corofin source. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 23/02/2019 16:47:17 2167185 Link

So is this policy you were told about by a Corofin club player, a policy by the Galway Senior football management. If they hadn't played a game, were they then excluded from the panel ? What different arrangement is in place since they qualified for the final. Uimhir.a.3. (Galway) - Posts: 409 - 23/02/2019 17:33:56 2167201 Link

Not going to get into the debate as to which players are better but currently we are missing 3 of our best and most experienced defenders due to work,study and injury. Arguably our best midfielder is gone for the year and two of our best forwards the Murtagh brothers are not available due to travel and injury. Galway's biggest losses are Sean Andy,Comer,Burke, Silke and the latter two played in the win against Cavan. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3743 - 23/02/2019 17:56:01 2167206 Link

Summer I guess will determine where both are at. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 23/02/2019 19:13:38 2167227 Link

Kerry win, a bad 1 point loss for Gallimh at home in my opinion. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 24/02/2019 15:50:56 2167517 Link
A good weekend of results for Dublin Kerry did Dublin a favour today and well done to them. All but guarantees a final place Cavan also giving Roscommon a good trimming helped out With Mayo left to play Kerry, Galway, Monaghan If Dublin gets good results against Roscommon/ Cavan / Tyrone We might be very close to a league final where hopefully we'll not have any ridiculous red cards to contend with but who knows! jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 24/02/2019 16:13:52 2167530 Link
Ref helped Kerry close out the game as he could have added a bit of time with the professional second yellow card by Kerry to eat up the clock. The card situation is chaotic everywhere in the land. Having said that Kerry were the better side today and no doubt they are the best team in the league. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1196 - 24/02/2019 18:46:47 2167621 Link

Replying To realdub: "Will Kerry throw their game V Mayo Jim :D" I dont think it will matter Mayo have to play Kerry, Galway and Monaghan - I think they will drop points against these teams. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 24/02/2019 20:19:04 2167674 Link
Very possibly but both those games are at home. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8585 - 24/02/2019 20:46:21 2167693 Link
