Great display today from Kobe McDonald but unless his team in Australia will let him play up Untill he goes to Australia then he shouldn't be on the team. Maybe after today he'll have second thoughts.

Galway won't be in league final, check the math.
Galway could potentially avoid relegation with 6 points and will focus on Championship.
No other choice really.

Yes true they wont make it. I kinda hoped we would avoid league final we still might. Prob need one more win to secure division 1 status .

Daft post. If he was only available for the league you still play him. Get him involved. The players will have no issue with him getting game time. It's good to have that before he leaves.

It's clear he's going to be around for the full inter county season season before he jets off. So that is July and from next month himself and Darragh Berine will be busy with U20s.

Been listening to multiple GAA podcasts and looking at social media as I do every week. The hype around Kobe is in the vast majority coming from outside the county and mostly from journalists. You then have others looking to "hype the hype" and spread downright lies.

It was stated the Western People on this forum had a seven page spread on Kobe. A downright lie. It's assuming but one can see how things I get out of hand on social media.

Good performance on Sunday, even though it was against a weakened Monaghan team. Felt like Mayo were running through Monaghan like Donegal were the previous week against Mayo.
Durcan and Loftus make a big difference, pace and good on the ball. Tuohy had a great game, might not have had much competition but will give him great confidence.
Defensively not great, full back still not good enough, and Hennelly could have done better for second goal i thought, he should have gone full belt for it and take man and ball.
Beirne was very good, Kobe had some debut even though game was well over when he came into it so bigger tests ahead.
Great to see Galway and Rossies losing there minds over Kobe, what is it to them. Rossies saying it was a magical night beating Galway by a point in the league. Galway ppl reading the western people now, and if an article talks about Kobe and then the match that means its a full page dedicated to Kobe haha..

Claiming we shouldn't use a gifted player if he is available. The leadership group and the manager would have discussed this so clearly the group want him playing.

Tough game this coming weekend surly. Armagh need the points, we don't. Likely 3-4 changes from the Monaghan game. All eyes on championship for me from here on in. Use the last three league games to experiment.
