Replying To gbay: "joe cooney doesnt want to play in the forwards...never did..said so himself." I don't think he will have a choice. He can't play 6 and there are loads more options for 5 and 7 than there are for wing forward. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 764 - 14/01/2024 00:42:14 2520076 Link

Replying To galway19: "It's going to be hard to shuffle this back line if Cianan is staying at 5 for championship. You'd imagine that Mannion, Daithi, Morrissey and Fintan all start so that would only leave one spot between Jack Grealish, McInerney, Shane Cooney, TJ Brennan, Tiernan Killeen and all the other young lads. At least it frees up Joe Cooney to go back to wing forward." I think it will be between Shane Cooney and Tiernan Killen, Mcinerny isn't good enough Gillane destroyed him in the AI semi last yr and Grealish isn't physical enough for this level imo but Shefflin seems to rate him.

Replying To gbay: "joe cooney doesnt want to play in the forwards...never did..said so himself." He won an All-Ireland medal playing as a forward - didn't hear him complaining that year. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 14/01/2024 13:00:08 2520104 Link
Deccie McLoughlin looking sharp in first half. McManus at nothing in the full forward line. Gavin Lee probably the other standout at midfield. Puck outs have been sloppy. Expect to see a more clinical second half. Interesting from sideline that Eamon O'Shea seems to be giving a lot of the instructions. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 764 - 14/01/2024 14:10:42 2520111 Link
Noticeable change of emphasis with O'Shea coaching that forward line to go for goals. Even when they had handy points on they were playing short passes for goals. Scored six today and it could have been ten with the missed penalty and goalie saving a couple. Five goals last week in 55 mins. Hopefully get another two games in Walsh Cup for the young lads and then go on into the league. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 764 - 14/01/2024 15:09:34 2520127 Link

And this is without the likes of Conor Whelan and Brian Concannon, etc. Hon Galway. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2218 - 14/01/2024 18:01:18 2520170 Link

Goals are almost as easily got as points against weak opposition so of course they'll go for them. It's nice to think we might have a messiah in our midst but I'll remind you that O'Shea didnt set the world on fire as manager of Tipp between 2012 and 2015 and I'll also remind you there was no better man for sniffing goals than Shefflin when he was in his prime. Which is not to say that he's the reason they are going for goals! It's January and also the opposition aint great. They are the 2 things to keep in mind.

Match is in Parnell on Sunday. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2964 - 15/01/2024 11:37:48 2520261 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Match is in Parnell on Sunday." Surely this cannot be the case ? Not even the GAA could be that blind to schedule a Galway intercounty hurling game the same day as 1 of their own clubs in playing an all ireland final ?

Replying To MapleSyrup: "Surely this cannot be the case ? Not even the GAA could be that blind to schedule a Galway intercounty hurling game the same day as 1 of their own clubs in playing an all ireland final ?" Was thinking the same. It's at 1.30. They did same with Armagh and Cullyhanna yesterday. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2964 - 15/01/2024 12:13:04 2520273 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Match is in Parnell on Sunday." Expected attendance is one man and his dog. What a stupid time to schedule the match for. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 764 - 15/01/2024 13:35:19 2520294 Link

Is there a time given for the Parnell Park game? Would it be possible to attend both? baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 15/01/2024 13:50:32 2520300 Link
Replying To baire: "Is there a time given for the Parnell Park game? Would it be possible to attend both?" 1.30 almost certain... Not confirmed yet by DCB as Leinster council sets times, but 1.30 start for all, and all dates and times immutable! Won't reschedule the postponed Westmeath/Antrim game either. I was hoping to watch the club final over a few pints in Craobh afterwards, but would be tight one to get to CP after. Not impossible mind you and buses go close and are regular.
