Kerry would much prefer playing Galway to Mayo any day of the week. Galway are the easiest team in the world to defend against and have no substance in attack. The whole Galway attack is usually parked on their own half back line hand-passing the ball laterally over and back. Galway rarely trouble any goalkeeper because it takes a week to work the ball up the field. They are a predictable team to play against and will get found out by the bigger teams who will use power and pace to counteract the blanket defence. They are without doubt the most negative team in the country and play the worst kind of football. Their match against Monaghan was one of the worst displays and you would only hope that they are not coaching kids in Galway to play like that. Its a pity because Corofin play the game the way it is supposed to be played and are still successful.

We beat Kerry comfortably the last time we played them in Croke Park.

I must have dreamed those 46 Connacht titles and beating Galway in the only national final between us at senior level ;) Being born post-2001 would explain some of your posts, though. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 26/02/2019 15:51:53 2168412 Link 2 |
Couple of connacht titles to hide the cracks of reality . As I said before they will raise their game against mayo due to the inferior complex that's built over the past 10 years . Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 26/02/2019 16:01:42 2168416 Link 1 |

In today's modern game Galway are not exactly a big draw anymore. Semi final no show both on and off the pitch last year says it all. Bet the GAA are hoping Mayo crush them and rid of their playing style which they stole from the north. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 26/02/2019 16:08:02 2168424 Link 1 |
Whats the news on the injury front for Mayo, will the younger O'Connor be back and what injury did Durcan get? JDF (Galway) - Posts: 322 - 26/02/2019 16:09:23 2168426 Link 0 |
Funny rainbows in Galway, Tribesman.... red, yellow, black... as colourful as the style KW has got your team playing I suppose! If the talent is there like so many Galway posters keep saying why won't he let them off the leash to express their individual superiority? Has Galway outgrown Kevin at this point, likeable and all as he is, and really need a new sheriff ?

Its mad cause, Even if either of those two teams did dismantle Mayo on Saturday or in the summer, I'd still be more likely to put money on Mayo than Galway to end their all Ireland wait cause I just don't think Galway have what it takes, Whereas we know Mayo can get to finals even if they haven't yet won one in a while.

well you said it all there we were once known for playing attacking football now the whole country knows us as a negative defensive team galway fans are getting fed up of it now ok we are in div 1 ok were missing a lot of players but when those players are back we will still be playing like this crap theres seems to be no sign of us developing our game its a shame as we have some talented players up front rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 26/02/2019 16:40:25 2168443 Link 2 |

Galway have a traditional way of playing football. While football moves on not one Galway poster on here can admit they enjoy watching Galway now. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 26/02/2019 17:06:38 2168452 Link 1 |

Galway have talent and could possibly win an all Ireland with this crop but not with Walsh and this style of play in my opinion yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11240 - 26/02/2019 18:38:21 2168472 Link 4 |
Maybe but can you honestly say ye were very attractive yourselves last Sunday. At least we admit that our style at times is unappealing. Other county posters could take note and take off the rose tinted glasses. Kerry beat Cavan on free accuracy essentially. Yes the Dublin game was very good but an exception IMO. Tyrone performance nothing overly impressive. That is the true reality but Galway bring scapegoated for modern day football ills.

I think we have seen Mayo in more than enough AI finals at this stage to know they don't have what it takes to win one and they ridiculously find different ways to lose finals that was there to be won. Galway on the other hand, need to reach a final, made progress last summer by reaching a first AI semi final since 2001 so I'd wait a little longer before drawing judgement on them.

this game Saturday, I go with Galway, they can improve the most from the bad football played this past weekend. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1197 - 26/02/2019 20:20:14 2168496 Link 2 |
You see this is completely wrong, All teans including Dublin drop men behind the ball at times. Kerry will play defensive football if facing a defensive team otherwise we are playing into the oppositions hands. Kerry will play attacking football in certain circumstances as peter Keane said his priority was to make us hard to beat and funnily enough id say Kevin Walsh is trying to do the same but there is no real transition into attack its just lateral passing ang going backwards. Galway have the players thats not in question. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 26/02/2019 20:39:49 2168502 Link 1 |

Whereas the likes of yourself only have to go back to 1951 to remember the last time you won Sam. It was good of you to remember that League final. No sign of Mayo the following September though ;)
