Replying To Belclare: "The players I believe will not take this well.. Nearly all voted for a change.. Expect turmoil" The Tuam Herald reports that a review has been conducted and speculation is that Joyce will remain for a third year. Who carried out the review and will the findings be published? When I heard that the football secretary wasn't aware of a players meeting or vote it was always going to be the case that Joyce would not be challenged by this spineless football committee. No wonder we are in the mess we are in and the laughing stock of all other counties. I saw the article in the Sunday Times last Sunday going through the same type mess in the hurling camp and the issues with finance in the CB. hashtag2017 (Galway) - Posts: 173 - 06/10/2021 14:18:13 2384612 Link
Im not very familiar with the rumour mill tbh. What exactly is it that the players have a problem with regarding PJ? Is it simply that results aren't good enough (in which case some players need to sack themselves), or is it his management style /personality etc?

Is it simply that results aren't good enough (in which case some players need to sack themselves), or is it his management style /personality etc?" The set up and treatment of players. I'm sure they aren't thrilled with the results either but that's not the issue. Last 10 minutes of real time in the monaghan game this year will tell you all you need to know about PJ.

Replying To WanPintWin: "Unless the players were going to oust him, it was the inevitable result. I mentioned a few weeks ago that he had a 3-year term. That's why the county board felt no need to communicate anything. As far as they were concerned, the was nothing to communicate. At the very least he needs to completely overhaul the backroom team. If we're to do anything at all next year." He had a two year term though not 3 year. He said himself after the Connacht final this year that his term was up. It's really hard to believe that this situation is being let happen given that a big majority of the squad voted against his retention. Surely his position at that juncture became untenable? An unwanted manager is a dead man walking. The inevitable consequence of this is that more guys will walk off the panel and results will be terrible in 2022. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1241 - 06/10/2021 16:32:00 2384637 Link
We have undoubtedly the worst county board in the country.. So inept and abject . Until there is a mass clear out there we're doomed Belclare (Galway) - Posts: 904 - 06/10/2021 17:29:28 2384643 Link
A lot will be told when they go back training in 6-8 weeks the ones who don't go back prob be a bigger talking point than the ones who are there , it's still hard believe that Padraig will still be manger after 2 brutal years of performance and results and so many players pulling out and some of players that came in not even good club players ,,unfortunately I for one can't see Galway doing anything AGAIN next year unless Padraig changes his ways big time ,?time will tell Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 840 - 06/10/2021 17:31:17 2384644 Link

It was reported as a 3-year term when he was appointed. https://connachttribune.ie/galway-turn-to-former-hero-joyce-in-bid-to-revive-football-fortunes/ I understand it was 3 with a review after 2.

You can write off 2022 once and for all. Another year with the Three Amigos will set us further back and quite possibly undo all of the groundwork and progress achieved by Kevin Walsh. And for what? The notion of lovely football? The memory of those few wins in the League before the pandemic? The ludicrous hope that somehow just somehow, they'll bring it all together and beat a county that isn't named Roscommon? We are going to get exactly what we deserve. The cheerleaders who hyped this appointment 2 years ago are extremely quiet now. Maybe it was too much to hope for some sort of leadership from the county board.

And there's people who have actually dismissed our connacht final wins under kevin because we weren't playing lovely football .... we haven't won connacht since 2008 according to them . They actually posted on the forum saying we can dismiss them. The mind boggles at their thinking Can we tell Donegal to hand back their All Ireland medals.

Ah right the review after year 2 makes sense. I fear there will be another exodus of players now, galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1241 - 07/10/2021 10:45:42 2384699 Link

Replying To devrandom: "Where and when did the football secretary state that there had been no players meeting or vote ?" Believe me, that is the case. Look, if you were a club manager and the senior players in the club contacted the chairman to express their dissatisfaction with you, questioning your management style, your inability to coach the team and some players had already walked away and went so far to have a vote, you would be out of a job, pronto. So when the CB sat down with this manager and wouldn't challenge him with the issues outlined above, that all the dogs in the street are aware of, pretending not to know, all live issues with our county team, then there was going to be no change. I predict Division 3 football by the end of '22. hashtag2017 (Galway) - Posts: 173 - 08/10/2021 12:01:06 2384885 Link
Replying To GalwaysFinest: "Agree Kerins should be involved in the Galway panel but he was roasted by Barry Goldrick for 45 minutes on Sunday. He did not lay a glove on him. Kerins was harshly dismissed from the Galway panel but has being putting in good performances for Annaghdown since then. He is a far better defender than a lot of the Galway panelists." Inclined to agree. He was getting cleaned but stood tall (lol) with the game in the melting pot. 2 very average teams. Still think there is a role for him in Galway panel because lord knows we need as many options as possible. Peggy11 (Galway) - Posts: 84 - 08/10/2021 13:20:54 2384903 Link
