Is Paddy Egan gone from the panel? I heard last night in Tuam Stadium he was outstanding for Corofin last Friday night against Milltown. GDL (Galway) - Posts: 948 - 30/04/2026 11:14:18 2669948 Link

Sometimes players can be released to play for their clubs, to keep their competitive instincts honed. Source re: Matthew T x 2? Triffic (Galway) - Posts: 177 - 30/04/2026 11:57:34 2669965 Link
Replying To Galway2001: "Tierney is back training and Thompson is available as well" Where is this info coming from and are you suggesting Joyce was telling tales when he said both would miss the Connnacht final? Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 814 - 30/04/2026 14:13:28 2670005 Link
Replying To Galway2001: "Tierney is back training and Thompson is available as well" Didn't Thompson undergo a procedure on his ankle? Seems hard to believe he's ok that soon jam83 (Galway) - Posts: 228 - 30/04/2026 14:40:28 2670012 Link
Thompson is definitely out for next 4/6 werks min so fair chance won't be seen this year id expect Tierney to be in contention next day Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 1150 - 30/04/2026 17:24:43 2670048 Link
Why isnt Barry Mchugh getting a look in at all with the seniors? Especially with Daly back into the fray. They work immcaculately together for the club with Dalys and also the likes of O Conghaile's kickpassing ability and Mchughs sheer class when it comes to point scoring I dont see how a team could deal with a full forward line of Mchugh finnerty and Mcdonnacha. We have a set of forwards capable of winning an all Ireland. All about picking the right team Galwayman67420 (Galway) - Posts: 38 - 30/04/2026 22:46:50 2670089 Link
Replying To 1951andwaiting: "Roscommon are not as good as they looked in 2nd half, Mayo were desperate/clueless. Mayo played ok in the first half and were well on top, but didn't take their chances and coughed up easy scores, especially the goal. 2nd half, as I said, Mayo were clueless, the worst I've ever seen, and Ros just capitalised on how inept they were, a good club team would have beaten them on their 2nd half performance, Galway won't be that poor, so I see a 5 in a row without too many problems. If Rossies are capable of doing to Galway what they did to Mayo in the 2nd half, well then I'll change my opinion and have them right up there with Kerry, Donegal, but i doubt it" Everythings on the day, especially between 2 evenly matched teams like Galway and Roscommon. Not a huge surprise if Roscommon won by a similar scoreline as they did against Mayo or Galway done likewise to be honest, I don't know if either result should massively change your opinion at this stage. Would you have Down up there with Kerry because of the result last weekend? JimB1991 (Donegal) - Posts: 154 - 30/04/2026 23:38:42 2670093 Link
We need Barry Mc Hugh, we are the only panel without a dead ball free taker. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1792 - 01/05/2026 10:50:02 2670130 Link

Would you have Down up there with Kerry because of the result last weekend?" I guess we all get sucked in by recency bias. We are all now thinking that Roscommon and Down both are top 5 teams based on 1 performance against 2 sides who werent at their best. The last couple of years we have seen inconsistent results ( i.e. A beats B, B beats C and C beats A , e.g. meath hammer kerry, donegal hammer meath, kerry hammer donegal) to an extent that we never saw before so we need to be careful into reading into a single result/performance. No doubt ros and downs stock is on the rise but they need to back sundays performance up with more similar performance before being considered in the top bracket. I would still be surprised if either of the 2 make an all ireland semi. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 1067 - 01/05/2026 10:50:15 2670131 Link

Replying To jam83: "Didn't Thompson undergo a procedure on his ankle? Seems hard to believe he's ok that soon" Thompson tweaked his hamstring a month ago and is back doing light training Galway2001 (Galway) - Posts: 32 - 01/05/2026 10:55:22 2670137 Link
