Replying To galwayfball: "We are Israels 2nd biggest trading partner. So obviously Loads of companies have links to Israel
Allianz parent company was specifically name in the UN Special Rapporteurs report as being complicit in genocide. If these other companies you are all mentioning have links to Israel but have not been named as complicit in genocide by the UN you are not comparing like with like.
Several people have said this and answered the question as to why Allianz yet they are ignored and many of you just keep naming other companies with links to Israel but have not been named in the report.
Even if according to yourself they are the same. They are in fact not and its safe to assume the Special Rapporteur has probably done more research than you
I've no problem with players refusing to be seen to promote Allianz. I've also no problem with players being fine with it
I look forward to everyone continuing to name companies not named by the UN as complicit in genocide and asking why not them despite being told why several times."
Give it a break will you. We are here to talk about Galwag football
Replying To togoutlads: "11 points down in our own backyard and Moran started subbing off key players, giving us a chink of an opportunity to make a comeback. But let's face it, Galway were way off the mark. Not a good start. Cleaned in midfield and almost all breaks until McGlinchey came in. Backs very porous and gifting 2 point frees repeatedly. Forwards' goal taking ability very poor and were again lacking clear attacking plays. What's happening with our coaching? We're looking quite poorly prepared for a Div 1 campaign. We were actually being hammered until we saved some face at the end once Mayo subbed off those men. Concerning."
Mayo have a mountain of work done, as for Galway it's clear Joyce and co aren't going to pick up on prep and fitness for another few weeks yet.
Objective for this league campaign is to do enough to avoid relegation and blood as many new players as possible so the key fixtures will be against Monaghan and Roscommon.
I hope Fionn McDonagh can keep that up, it was a brilliant debut. Even a couple of those points he scored he had a Mayo defender right on his boot but he angled it in a way that he wouldn't be blocked. Mulhern is still u20 this year, he made a couple of mistakes but some of his passing was a joy to watch and scored 3 points and was unlucky not to score a goal. Lets hope McGlinchey can stay fit, expect him to make an impact this year if he can. Oisin McDonagh left a few scores behind him but won every ball that came his way, he'll certainly get more chances.
Would imagine Joyce will regret not stating Barrett, think he's unlikely to see game time come later on in the season but we really struggled in the first 50 minutes around the middle, Tuohy either won or got his hand to every ball that came his way.
It took Sean Kelly a while to get going but he was outstanding from 45 minutes onwards.
Finishing was pathetic though, very little composure in front of goal. 7 0r 8 very good goal chances missed. Finnerty, Flaherty & Kelly missed really easy ones, got to better.

Regarding your point, Ireland is indeed Israel's second largest trading partner but it's for integrated circuits and subassemblies used by our medical device, pharma, and tech sectors - much of that being US owned. So if you can suggest an alternative source, I'm sure these massive employers here might be interested but I don't think Hamas or Hezbollah have focused a lot on that kind of R&D!

Lads there is a separate post on the main threads board for this, could ye discuss this there and keep this one for football . I'm interested in the Israel problem too but I come here for football entertainment. Bad enough the thread being continually hijacked by the Mayo poster with the multiple aliases
Had a look back at some of the game, a lot more positive now after my initial viewing in Pearse Stadium. A couple of lapses in concentration in tracking runners, poor turnovers and giving away soft frees in our own half was our downfall. Nothing major there that cannot be worked on and improved on as the weeks go on and more minutes into the legs
Overall though really impressed with supply into our forward line and movement, exactly what we have been crying out for. The scores will come.
If we do meet Mayo in a Connacht final I think we have a lot more impact to come back than they do.
