Replying To S1234: "Lol Leitrim competitive that's a good one." I see Mayo are releasing a commemorative jersey to honour their last All Ireland win - 75 years ago. Not that's a proper LOL and a bit tragic as well.

Replying To KillingFields: "Can the forum stay open over Christmas and new year. Its one of the only I've seen that does close." Seriously? If HS closed for good it wouldn't affect my life. And you are worried that it's closing over Xmas. Might be time to assess your priorities .

But I often wonder thanks what will happen if the windmill in Elfin blows down or collapses like the Roscommon team in division one thanks. Will they write a new song please along the lines of there will NOT always be a windmill in elfin thank you. One to ponder over Christmas for us all. Thank you.

Should There Be Rule Changes In Hurling? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Viking66: "Sidelines in hurling have to be taken from inside the sideline. Its the opposite of Football. Cynicism and dissent need to be dealt with better for sure. Ball throwing should probably be legalised at this stage, maybe underhand with a maximum distance would be easy enough to enforce?" The rule in hurling is actually that the ball must be placed on the sideline. Not inside it, or even outside it.
A sideline kick in football should be taken from outside the boundary line all right.

Galway Hurling thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To conordee: "You said earlier 'there was no strike'. Now you've changed to 'there was no intentional strike'. I hope Loughrea won't be relying on your evidence. Hopefully they can get this overturned somehow although the TV evidence doesn't support their case. Possibly they might have their own footage. That said, they were on the edge with tackles in the first half and may have got on the wrong side of Murphy then." Listen, there was no intentional strike at the player. The tow players were tangling and Killeen was trying to break free from him. It's hurling, he didn't stand back and lash him if that's what your insinuating. If he's missing, Loughrea have so much depth of players to choose from any of Shane o Brien, Jamie Ryan, Sean sweeney, Gavin Maher, Alan Kelly, tiernan Killeen and even Kieran hanrahan can play there. Loughrea were missing their best forward Darren shaughnessy on Sunday, he will be back in the forwards, be it at 11 or 14 or 12. The focus is on winning the AI. And they'll do it.

Replying To S1234: "Lol Leitrim competitive that's a good one." Did you not consider Leitrim v Mayo competitive in Connaught championship this year? Think it was fairly nip and tuck until last 10 minutes. Leitrim were even at a lower ebb at the time having failed to field in a match earlier in the year. I guess Mayo were no great shakes this year but don't expect that to change overnight!

I know someone who was admin on a forum a good few years back, and he said the amount of nonsense posted on the few days around Christmas (when there was clearly alcohol involved), entertaining and all as it was, made it unfeasible to allow posts over the festive period. I'm sure many of us will see similar on WhatsApp groups etc over the coming days, so I understand why a forum would close.

Looking Forward To 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To S1234: "Typical to have a dig at mayo there. Progress would be making the last 8 but wouldn't us off under Andy ..
Don't think kerry will win it as they just cauggt onto the new rules quicker then the rest of us .
Not much of a shock for Galway loosing to Mwath as they are overated." There was no dig at Mayo, calling things as they are. To go from not reaching the last 8 to becoming a challenger/contender in 2026 to Kerry is a bit far fetched. Remains to be seen can Andy Moran even lead Mayo to the last 8 next summer as on his management CV so far is losing a championship match to New York and not getting out of the group stage with his own Ballaghaderreen.
Galway in the form they are capable of don't lose to Meath. Have reached 2 All-Ireland finals in the last 4 championships and that's where their rating comes from.

Replying To ElGranSenor: "Could still be the case, no dates mentioned in the article so it's either he's going and he doesn't know for sure when he'll be back or he's going but the management team don't know when he'll be back
Would've thought the base case expectation was that he was missing the league anyway" Its up to himself. Hopefully some of our younger lads really step up in the League, and we get promoted. If he thinks there's something to come back for, that might help him to make his mind up. He owes us all nothing, he is a joy and privilege to watch playing hurling.
A break away will absolutely be good for him mentally, and probably even more so physically. The chap hasn't had a break since underage, with club, county and Fitzgibbon when he was younger, he was/is also a top Footballer which people seem to have forgotten also, and Martins having runs in Leinster the last couple of years also.
Remember he has a knee that he has to manage also.

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.

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
