You were the one who saw a pathway for "this current Galway team" to beat Tipp, and win the semi final and be in the All Ireland final this year. Big swing in opinion of Galway's ability all of a sudden.Welcome to the real world.

As one lad said....there is more enjoyment looking at the cows in the field than that s##t on the television."
No they didn't wilt, they hit 5-6 wides that knocked the stuffing out of them. Tipp missed very little

Dubs were probably saving themselves, figured they didnt want to play Tipp then Cork. They often beat you, and beat Limerick this weekend. Only 2 points at the 65 minute mark in our game against you despite playing our worst game of the year. Hardly won 4 at a canter so.

Yep

Yes the real world been laughed at by the Tipp supporters in the GG as Sheedy said on TV Galway just gave up and threw in the towel and as you said I'll go to the game more in hope.....so what bonus did you get from it?
Welcome to the real world is right

Spot on, thats where we are at on our day we could beat Wexford or Dublin one day ... and lose to them the next! We are not going to beat KK and we are going to get hammered in the playoffs. When I saw Conor Cooney starting I knew we were screwed. This is not going to change overnight the supply chain is broken and the players are not there, we have Cooney, Flynn and 35 year old David Burke( he played well in fairness) on the cusp of the team. Lets not look at getting to a semi or AI final in senior lets see if we can win a couple of minor or U20s or at least get to the finals and be competitive as stepping stone. MOD has 4 years and Im afraid hes going to need all of them

Think MoD will have to start picking lads on merit from the Galway club championship and giving them real game time rather than lads living off past glorys. Forgot about "they're training well" and start going with how they're playing in matches.

Your not going blowing about the Loughrea lads again......they got plenty of chances since the start of the League and none of them set the world alight.

It was disappointing to see changes before throw in where the younger players were dropped. I am not sure MD is able in his own head to trust any new young player when push comes to shove. This would be a cancer to development. Maybe it's a 2 to 3 year project for himself . There are many many more questions after yesterday.
