Kevin Cooneys goal must of warmed your heart Kaster. Darren Morrissey to Joseph Cooney to Kevin Cooney back to Joseph back to Kevin. Bang into the net. Goal made proudly in New Inn/Bullaun.

Dumb question here but if Galway lose to Dublin are they out of the Championship or would they have to play someone from the Munster Group?

I got ridiculed a few weeks back here by some Wexford lads for saying they were useless. I now apologise for being wrong. They are worse than useless. they are pathetic.

I see that poor auld Liam Sheedy is "not convinced" about Galway on TSG but had "praise" for the Munster teams who were "competitive" and "consistent" even though Galway have been one of the most "consistent" teams in the last 7 or 8 years. He also stated that Galway now have to win "4 more matches" and can they do it - he obviously doesn't remember 2017 or most of the recent Galway championship matches with his native Tipp! Have Clare, Cork, Waterford, Wexford and Dublin been that consistent in the last few years? No but that doesn't matter to Liam as he and most Munster based pundits "don't like Galway" which is the main reason behind his rant! He also praised the "high quality" of the Munster championship compared to Leinster and elsewhere John Mullane states "something has to change re the lopsided competitive structures of Munster and Leinster that favours KK and Galway" but they still want the Munster championship to "stay the same". I think all these so called "pundits" need to be a bit more "consistent" themselves and not say one thing and then use the other side of their mouth to say the exact opposite! lol tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3320 - 22/05/2023 12:16:01 2480443 Link 1 |

We'd be third in Leinster in that case, so our route would be: Preliminary quarter-final vs Joe McDonagh finalist Quarter-final vs Munster runner-up Semi-final vs Leinster champions WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2039 - 22/05/2023 12:29:17 2480453 Link 1 |

In fairness wexford didn't look too good in the stadium either. A Laois, carlow, kerry etc would fancy taking wexford on at this stage,, hopefully it's only temporary,, there are few enough top hurling counties as it is without losing the ones we have.

Will it definitely be against the Leinster Champions in the semi-final? If the 3rd placed team in Munster also makes it through to the semis, won't they play the LC, and Galway play the Munster Champions. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2458 - 22/05/2023 13:16:48 2480490 Link 1 |

In fairness, tommy, the only time it's worth taking any notice of Mullane is to laugh at him. He was also trying to tell us on RTÉ Radio that Cork are a 'coming team'..... This ia a 'coming team' with an attack containing Harnedy, Horgan and Lehane all starting. Three men with a great future behind them. Cork might be 'coming' but they are 'going' nowhere fast while they are starting the fossils. He could see this yet parrotted the 'Cork are coming' line. He's a joke.

3rd place in Munster (if they beat the Joe McDonagh runner-up and the Leinster final loser) would play the Munster winner. 3rd place in Leinster (if they beat the Joe McDonagh winner and Munster final loser) would play the Leinster winner. It ensures that the provincial finalists can't meet each other in the All-Ireland semis. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2039 - 22/05/2023 14:25:10 2480534 Link 1 |

I agree but its still very annoying to be listening to these Munster pundits like Sheedy and Mullane with a chip on their shoulder re Galway in general and hurling in particular - its not just my imagination anymore!

I was expecting this might irk one or two! I'm not his biggest fan but hes just giving an opinion and you're points dont really show anything to say hes wrong. This is the sixth season since Galway won the All Ireland. I'd be laughed out of the place If I suggested anything Tipp done in 2019 mattered now. You've named a whole host of counties there who literally no one has as AI contenders. Galway have been inconsistent within games never mind within seasons since 2017. The fact Galway have usually been really good against TIpp actually backs up his point perfectly. For what its worth, Galway are contenders in my opinion and they also can lose the next two and still be two wins from an All Ireland final place tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 22/05/2023 14:34:21 2480539 Link 1 |

Of course John wants the Munster Championship to stay the same. Waterford would've been relegated after 3/4 of the Round Robins ever played if not.

Say a Wexford and Dublin win, what way does that leave who's in final?

Fossils?!! Do you say the same about the older guys on the Galway team? I'd imagine Galway have an average age as high as anyone in the cship. Fairly harsh comment. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 22/05/2023 14:58:54 2480558 Link 1 |

Inconsistent since 2017. The year after in 2018 unbeaten all championship bar losing an All Ireland Final. Inconsistent at its best. You wouldn't believe it unless you read it.......... SamandLiamSoon (Galway) - Posts: 589 - 22/05/2023 15:01:50 2480560 Link 1 |

I think Clare, Cork and even Waterford would definitely regard themselves as "AI contenders"!

Yes in 2018 Galway had to win at least 7 or 8 matches including 2 replays against KK and Clare to even reach a final where they were tired or "energyless" as Mullane said recently about Clare v KK last year but still only lost by a point in the end and if JC had nailed that last free I would have really fancied our chances in the replay. Amazing how inconsistent they were! Its a bit of a tired cliché that these "pundits" roll out every year and I have heard the likes of Daly and Cummins (both Munster men of course!) come out with the same auld drivel many times over the years.

Galway pushed Limerick far closer than any Munster team except Clare last year. And I think are better this year tbh. Sheedy is a great motivator and man manager but not a great pundit.

That Galway are inconsistent thing is a very old lazy comment belong to a previous generation. Galway since 2015 2015-Runners up 2016-1 point semi final loss to Tipp who hammered everyone 2017-Won All Ireland 2018-Runners up 2019-Group stage, madness set of results 2020-2 point loss to Limerick who hammered everyone 2021-disaster year and worst since 2011 2022-2 point All Ireland semi final loss to Limerick That seems like a fairly consistent 8 years where they didnt make at least semi finals only twice. I think the biggest thing is not getting over the line v Limerick and Kilkenny in last couple Leinster finals but that's a completely different complaint to saying they're inconsistent Outside of Limerick since 2015 they've played Munster teams 11 times, drew 1 and won 8 and lost just twice, thyve a worse record v Dublin than the rest of Munster outsid if Limerick...that's a fair record. Even throw in the 3 losses to Limerick, it reads played 14, drew 1, won 8, lost 5. Their biggest loss in those eight years was an 7 point loss to Kilkenny in 2016. Nobody ever hammers Galway, they really earn their win even if theyre going poor. Bar Limerick or Kilkenny, I don't think anyone has same level of consistency over that time period, even Tipp who have 2 all Ireland's in that time period have been very up and down too.
