Replying To goreyll: "What a load of rubbish, obviously didn't watch the Cork Wexford match to post this crap" Wexford did really well. And were unlucky not to get at least a draw. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2585 - 12/03/2023 19:29:20 2463588 Link

Replying To Gilberto_Eire: "9 minutes and the game looks over. I'm glad I didn't go(clash with the rugby).. I don't even think I can watch anymore of this. We're beyond hopeless. Shefflin has brought absolutely nothing so far, we were rather fortunate Cork didn't trim us last year. I can't remember a team ever missing as many scores in a half, they left about 15 easy point behind in the first half. A gallant semi final loss is nothing to be proud of." Tá tú ag cáint ráiméis.

Replying To katser: "In all fairness..... was thinking maybe F Burke and Killeen! Solid games........anytime the ball went into the Corners both of them were 2nd best. The period from first 15mins and last 10mins when Clare scored approximately 14pts was when Clare worked the ball into the corner....Reidy got 5pts." Reidy got 3 points..... Two of which came in the not so solid first 15 minutes!! You may be mixing him up with Galvin who came on to shoot two points.... but between Reidy's start and Galvin's finish plenty of solid in between!

Not included are the points scored from frees given away by the two Corner Backs.......I make it 7pts from play and 5frees katser (Galway) - Posts: 2481 - 12/03/2023 19:40:20 2463596 Link

Replying To katser: "Not included are the points scored from frees given away by the two Corner Backs.......I make it 7pts from play and 5frees" So Reidy got 3 and Galvin got 2 and you make that 7 from play? You might want to go to New Inn for maths lessons. SamandLiamSoon (Galway) - Posts: 622 - 12/03/2023 20:02:17 2463602 Link
In hindsight its a pity he tinkered with team set up v Cork or "other" League game even though he wanted to try out new players, BUT we missed a right good chance to top our group and get into League Semi Finals!!! Tipperary, Cork, Kilkenny don't mind playing "League Semi Finals " Would have really liked a crack at Tipp in the League Final!!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2481 - 12/03/2023 20:17:01 2463605 Link
Replying To SamandLiamSoon: "So Reidy got 3 and Galvin got 2 and you make that 7 from play? You might want to go to New Inn for maths lessons." The sub came on scored 2pts when put in Corner Forward. Solid Corner Backs responsible for 12pts.....don't think so. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2481 - 12/03/2023 20:29:54 2463609 Link
I travelled to Ennis in anticipation of a good game of hurling. I came away a little frustrated. Galway started to play after 15mins and totally took over the game. Clare, I thought were very poor. No plan B and if anything they look a little tired. Once Galway got on top of the quick ball into the there inside forwards, game over. Some good displays from a Galway perspective. Tougher tests await and still alot of questions to be answered. Armchairreporter (Galway) - Posts: 81 - 12/03/2023 20:30:46 2463610 Link

Replying To katser: "Typical Wexford leading for 70mins then choked ( it was pivotal for us that they beat Cork) unless they can do us a favour next week and bate limrik our League hopes are doomed and gone for 2023!!" We couldn't care less whether you reach a League semi or not lad. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14240 - 12/03/2023 20:35:05 2463614 Link

Replying To SamandLiamSoon: "REIDY ONLY SCORED 3 POINTS!" There are two Corner Forwards on a hurling team. The Clare Corner Forwards really exposed our Corner Backs today. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2481 - 12/03/2023 20:42:42 2463617 Link
Replying To katser: "There are two Corner Forwards on a hurling team. The Clare Corner Forwards really exposed our Corner Backs today." Hey Clare scored 6 goals against Wexford and none against us….Hon Galway! Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2282 - 12/03/2023 20:54:09 2463621 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Hey Clare scored 6 goals against Wexford and none against us….Hon Galway!" They hit the post in the first half! Let's watch highlights tonight at 2130hrs......keep a close eye on our Corner Backs......Two South Galway men! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2481 - 12/03/2023 21:01:01 2463625 Link

No need to worry Katser Tipp are going to win all before them this year. Sheedy as good as said it last night.

I wouldnt be an expert on hurling but as a Galway supporter I was probably in the minority when i say that i didn't switch to the rugby until the hurling was over. This may be a personal observation but there is something about Galway hurling and I wonder if hurling people ( and as I've said I'm not one) would agree with me. In terms of pace , power, shooting, stickwork Galway are on par with anyone ( the exception obviously being Limerick's power). But the area that I think we are well behind is ball handling. Too many times I see Galway players fumbling ball , failing to catch simple 30 yard passes, really bad on catching long high balls. Maybe its just me but I would be very surprised if there was a "fumble / mis-catch stat" that we would be miles behind the Kilkenny's of this world in that regard. If I'm correct what's the root cause. Do we not do enough work against the ball walls or pucking the ball long to each other in the fields. If i'm talking rubbish I won't be offended if ye tell me to stick to the football commentary. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 960 - 13/03/2023 09:48:01 2463652 Link
