Looking at the. Team it's prob best with what's available and I'd say slim chance of Darcy playing full forward I know one poster said he one top midfielder in country I'd say not in top 20 biggest problem with a good few of defenders especially full back line they descent defenders in fairness but very poor at kicking ball I'd like see finnery centre forward he gets very tied up at times in corner snd looking at Donegal full back line ther will be running up the field a lot usually centre backs don't do as much and in fairness he has good vision to find a pass ,, if going be tough one hard see anything but a 5/6 point win for Donegal coukd do with both mayo and Ross winning ,, don't think Fitz or molloy inj ,, im actually small bit surprised that they not start Gleason for the long kickouts to turn the Donegal half back line , but good to see McGrath getting game time he will keep improving Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 1136 - 27/02/2026 16:17:29 2658917 Link
Molloy has not had a good game all league, very lucky to get the start against Kerry after his 2 previous performances. How many of the current u20's in with Galway, obviously McGlinchey, Mulhern & Mulryan. Anyone else? TheBishop (Galway) - Posts: 305 - 27/02/2026 16:34:41 2658921 Link
Replying To Galwaymaster9: "It's no wonder he is heading to Australia, absolutely crazy fanning about him, ould fellas in their 50s and 60s running after him in Clones at the end of the game, his father was a good one too but like Kobe is surrounded by mediocre players, hence why he is getting out of dodge.. Mac Senior never had the option.. Monaghan are the worst division 1 side in years and were in the dressing room early, I mean even Aidan got 1 1.. the worst thing for themas they can't drop him now.. His wild celebration for the goal shows how much a relief it is for him to finally score.. All in all Roscommon will definitely put it up to them in the Connacht semi, a defeat there in year 1 for Handy Andy so early would show the young mc Donald will be delighted to get our of their.." "Finally score" if memory serves he also got a goal less than a month ago against your very own county.... otgarom (Mayo) - Posts: 8 - 27/02/2026 16:40:52 2658923 Link
Replying To gbay: "im saying this along time.. pj and co can not pick a team.. why o why do they consistently play players out of position.. darcy one of best midfielders in ireland named at 14.. all star wing back playing at 6 all star corner back playing at 5. mulkerrins a natural 3 not playing.. does anyone no if james macloughlin is part of the panel? cant see a result here and i think relegation will be staring at us in after sunday.. anyways best of luck lads and safe travels to everyone making the journey." Ye won't go down, you still have to play Monaghan and Dublin plus you have the head to head over Armagh if needed otgarom (Mayo) - Posts: 8 - 27/02/2026 16:45:54 2658926 Link
Everyone out there knows darcy and o conghaile will swap and o conghaile will go into the corner. Some lads are just looking for excuse to complain !!! Numbers on their back mean nothing nowadays. Joyce is obviously shuffling the deck to get gametime and try out as many players as he can and will learn about a lot of these players in how they handle themselves against this donegal side who have set the bar in league so far.. O Laoi must still be injured as we could do with his pace carrying ball forwards form hb line against pacy donegal side. Dont see us getting a huge impact off that bench this weekend again but we will wait and see. Gaagael15 (Galway) - Posts: 33 - 27/02/2026 16:52:38 2658930 Link
Replying To GalwaysFinest: "They have played Offaly, Westmeath and Cork in recent weeks, without the lads involved in the senior team. Without these, they look very very mediocre. Obviously could be a different team with 3/4 of these guys added back in." Minors have not been hectic the past few years. Think the U20's will be 3rd favourites for Connacht at best.

Replying To gaillimhboy: "Are Fitz and Molloy injured?" Fitz certainly is judging by Carson's inclusion in the panel as only backup full back option. Molloy probably as you'd imagine he'd be included ahead of mulkerrins or Mikey mulryan. systematic (Galway) - Posts: 249 - 27/02/2026 17:42:22 2658938 Link
Replying To gaillimhboy: "Are Fitz and Molloy injured?" They maybe being put on hold for champo. to double mark Kobe. AnCrúiscínLán (Galway) - Posts: 116 - 27/02/2026 20:08:33 2658944 Link
Kobe is a great prospect and I wish him all the best, but I thought this was a Galway football forum. Hard to see us getting a result Sunday, expect the usual doom and gloom here afterwards Jonnytest (Galway) - Posts: 13 - 27/02/2026 20:50:53 2658947 Link
