As a Galway man, I still find it hard to look past Ballygunner here. The reason why is to win an All-Ireland you need a stone-cold killer upfront. Loughrea forwards are missing that ruthlessness and real class to finish teams off. A Conor Cooney, Joe Canning or Eugene Cloonan. They have a lot of forwards chipping in but no real elite intercounty forward and I think it'll finally catch the in the final. That's probably the only thing they're missing. If Conor Cooney (the Thomas' version) played for Loughrea, I think they'd do it. The have everything else.

Should There Be Rule Changes In Hurling? - 2 Like(s)
Yes, let's start with implementing the rules, club semis had some high and seriously dangerous hits last weekend.refs and players have a responsibility to ensure the well being of those on the pitch.Also shoving a player over when trying to get possession isn't a skill

Replying To yew_tree: "Sorry couldn't resist. Is this now policy that if you have an embarrassing poster from your county they are automatically from Mayo? Easy target I guess." I'm fairness Mayogaablog is unique amongst the gaa community. There's 32 counties and yet there's nothing remotely close to what you'll see on there from any other county. So it's kind of natural to assume that the more wacky and unhinged opinions may come from that county or community because that's the main evidence we've been presented with

Replying To Tiger1: "A Galway team in an all ireland anything can happen might get blown out of the water or might win but you couldnt be sure" As a county, Galway joint lead the roll of honour in this event at 14 wins, and have won more than a third of the finals played since the turn of the 90s, encompassing the last 35 finals or so. You can be sure of that.

Replying To jacktheboy: "There will be no team near Kerry again next year , a League and All Ireland again with ease for The Kingdom . They won both finals this year without raising a sweat." Things can change suddenly though. For example, would Kerry be as feared if they lost David Clifford to injury?

Kerry will likely wait in the long grass a bit this year and look to hit form again as championship develops.
Ironically Cork may have a chance again in Munster championship if they go hard for it and Kerry are a bit off it and if Cork can get Sherlock back up to speed quickly at intercounty level. Ulster will be its usual battleground so Ulster teams won't be waiting around to peak. Similarly Dublin will want to get Leinster back and all other challengers there will be fighting tooth and nail early on in championship. Mayo will be gunning for Connaught and Galway won't want to let go. Alot of people mentioning Galway but they seem to flatter to receive and Shane Walsh is an enigma. Comer can't get or stay fit and they have keeper issues. It'll boil down to hunger for Kerry because if they are off it teams can capitalise but they are absolutely still the standout favourites.

You can be sure of that." Galway club sides are always competitive. It does help that one always competes in an AISF too though as regards wins overall. Most of the top clubs theres nothing much between them. Your champions get a bye, while the others have to win 2 or 3 games against similar standard clubs from other counties before they even get there.
