Replying To jacktheboy:  "How good/bad are Galway now, after Meaths performance yesterday, a division 2 team and played that way, they are not even a top 10 team. Connaught miles behind the top teams."
I wouldn't underestimate the loss of Menton with injury. He has been a huge player for Meath all summer. I'd be concentrating on the final rather than worry about how good Galway which is a really strange take from the weekend…when Galway weren't playing

Damo on sunday game last night cant imagine Jim McG letting a player on it who missed most of cship and after losing QF. They will be out at the galway races like celebs again this year when after watvching what donegal did to meath they should be sick to the core.

We bet Donegal 12 months ago, don't get ahead of yourself. We weren't miles behind Dublin, Derry or Armagh all be in not good enough.

I would be concerned if a grown man had to ask another grown man if it was ok for him to appear on the telly.

He's well entitled as are all other current players they give enough time to the game

His appearance has zero influence on team performance

You're the kind who will be plaguing these "celebs" for a signature after a game and then on whats app sending messages if you see them on a night out.

Do you cancel social plans if you don't play well at 5 a side.

They put in serious sacrifice and however disappointed we are there's would be tenfold. They are entitled to social life and not have to live like hermits

Replying To Kew:  "Fully fit squad? Comer had 20 mins against Derry and 20 against meath all season. He did longer on the Sunday game tonight. At this stage no issues have been solved by Joyce in 6 years. It looks like Micky Graham was put on otb to break the news to the Galway public. It's probably the last we will hear about it. The media love Joyce because he gets them clicks. They won't ask him about the future."
I meant fully fit squad next year, when they're looking ahead.

Replying To Trump2020:  "But would someone like Jim McGuinness come to Galway to manage them? That's the thing you have to remember. What awesome manager is willing to come manage Galway. If they are awesome they are probably already hired somewhere. If they are not managing anywhere well then they may be done with it."
There are many outside managers who would have snapped your arm off to have this Galway team for the last 5 years. A golden generation we will lose gradually over the next few years. Padraig will gladly see them out and hand the scraps over to someone else. Outside managers need to be approached. Nobody is going to apply. We hand it to a homegrown hero with no managerial experience and we'll continue down that road. Everyone wants to be friends with Padraigeen.
