Have Galway decided how they are voting at Special Congress? Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1829 - 20/10/2021 11:48:13 2386402 Link
Donegal poster here, but I'd follow Galway club football as well. Firstly, even as an outsider, I'd challenge the assertion that Galway club football is poor. A bizarre statement. It might be a different story if the great Corofin team were absolutely pulverizing every team in sight in the Galway club championship. But they haven't been, and of course aren't even the current champions. Secondly, from reading these pages at least, it would appear that the preference would be for PJ to step aside? The Galway job seems to be a bit of a poisoned chalice. Without doubt there is some serious talent there, but successive managers have struggled to fully harness it. Who would Galway supporters like to replace him, given the choice? Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9133 - 20/10/2021 14:24:51 2386442 Link

If O'Neill is listened to and his ideas and plans get auctioned then it'll be to Galway and PJs immense benefit. The old PJ was proud of saying it's his show or the highway but I think he may have been humbled a bit by recent failures and should now be old enough and wise enough to learn from O'Neill (and he from PJ too). Collaboration and collective smarts and experience rather than pig headed stubbornness are the only way to go forward. It's do or die now. So do! togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 902 - 21/10/2021 08:59:23 2386561 Link

Delighted for the Hurler's. It will give a great lift. Footballer's on the other hand. O'Neill does have a great CV and I have no doubt he will give a lift in training and his approach will be fresh and insightful. The Elephant in the room is the current management. They will pick the team, they will still be the voice, they will still want their hand prints on all that is good and if things go wrong....... Man management is one of the key roles of a manager. It's in the title. I just don's see how players who had a bad experience this year will now automatically say to themselves "It will be great now". I do hope I am wrong and time will tell. galwaygoal (Galway) - Posts: 166 - 21/10/2021 11:06:17 2386592 Link

Players aren't happy but CB have ignored that. I think the appointment of O Neill is to shut us up and say sure look we are making changes but the same man is in charge Monaghan game last 10 mins of ordinary time show what this man knows about management.

I see where Galway chairman has come out against proposal B in football championship even though the management and players in Galway are in favour I think Galway Woukd be one of the counties it would benefit,, I bet if it was a hurling proposal that gave hurlers more matches he be all for it not a word out of him last 2 years when it was straight knockout in football,, time to get football people over football ,, Kickitout (Galway) - Posts: 840 - 21/10/2021 12:38:09 2386620 Link

Kill football at all costs. Up to the footballers / football clubs to get behind one man when the next election comes about and get a football chairman in.

Can't understand his point at all. He brings up club fixtures, but I thought this would bring a certain level of certainty to the fixture calendar. I would love to see Provincial Champions get a wildcard to knockout stages if not already qualified as part of Proposal B and maybe put Team 6 in Div 1 into pre lim knockout. Even as it is it is better than knockout with qualifiers. Any issue with Prop B also exist there in some shape. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1829 - 21/10/2021 14:36:56 2386654 Link

Big hurling bias in County board and galway media. No one holding the board to account on the promotion of football. At the announcement of Henry Sheflin (which I welcome as I am absolutely not anti hurling) last night they referenced the appointment of a development manager. This follows on from the appointment of full time S&C to work with all hurling grades. Not a mention of any of this infrastructure in football. They are happy to tick the boxes.

Hurling in this county has ruined us all. Mountain South?? They're up now using Loughgeorge. Against proposal B yet the footballers are in favour . Shows how little respect our football lads have. Joyce will have some job working with whatever is left.... Belclare (Galway) - Posts: 904 - 21/10/2021 20:28:10 2386726 Link

Pat Kearney referenced he will not be voting for it. On what basis? Is this the will of clubs? I honestly don't know but his argument about galway being a dual county in a time when we have a split season makes absolutely no sense. This proposal is not perfect by any means but its a hell of a lot better than what we currently have. Nogoal (Galway) - Posts: 62 - 22/10/2021 13:53:19 2386823 Link

Its easy to blame the Hurling, and their maybe a small amount of truth in it, but the reality is that the footballers don't have the same number of people committed to promoting Galway Football as the hurlers do. devrandom (Galway) - Posts: 75 - 22/10/2021 14:50:00 2386833 Link
