Galway GAA Discussion Thread #2

Breeze is very strong. Need to dig in first ten minutes of second half and not let them get a run on us. Hopefully we can break fast enough to keep the score board ticking.

Brilliant first half. 1-11 is serious scoring against a team as good as Tyrone.

threeball

Is Duggan gone off injured or just replaced.

Agree. Breeze was used well. Let's deal with it now

threeball

Fool of a ref blew for a Mark then gave a peno

Hulk Hands

He had fallen prior to the tackle. Never a penalty

Joke of a penalty but if you had a kick out strategy like Dublin you were gaining possession after that point and having chance to kill momentum and build an attack... and its on those aspects KW falls short.

I didn't see the first half but a few questionable calls by the ref in the 2nd half even before that penalty which I thought was a joke.
A mark for sure but never a peno

That's what happens when you arse about it with it outside the 45 with static backs passing it to each other over and over.... comical.

PCeeeee

That's it. That should be the death knell for the going backwards ****e

threeball

Totally symptomatic of the way we play under Walsh. Look grand with a breeze at our back and once it's against us we go full blanket and slow motion going forward.

PCeeeee

Eoghan gets away with plenty but he was spotted there. Cheap 10 mins

Hulk Hands

Sean Andy's had that coming a while. Always been lax with his fist passing. The wake up call he needs hopefully

PCeeeee

Ah jayz.

Tyrone had every player inside their 45 for about 5 minutes.

It was very difficult to do anything positive, we just had to make sure not to do anything stupid...

It's the idea that bothers me. No pass to be found in front?

PCeeeee

Some turn around from ht.

They had them back because we gave them time to get back, strolling out of defence. Coughing up a 7pt lead like that is criminal. Labelled looks like he'll get caught every time he leaves his goal too.

Following one of their best halfs of football in a long time with possibly the worst under Walsh is an absolute dose.

threeball

Ref is dire. Foot trip and a free in results in a free out and a red card

Hulk Hands

The lack of urgency when 3 points down was pathetic. Incredibly disappoting. Even besides the joke goals we were well beat

PCeeeee

Such a pity. A league final would have been brilliant. A chance to bring in Corofin lads too.

grbear

Truly terrible second half, the worst half under Walsh. It's worse than the Tipperary bottle job because Galway were in control at half time and had a great chance to make a serious statement. I'm disgusted after that, absolutely disgusted.

threeball

15 point turn around. This team have been conditioned to play with little to no urgency and as a result don't press an advantage when in front and can't claw it back when behind.

rgace

Pity alright, but the league went well overall considering the players missing.

The timing of the first two goals and then the black card probably made that second half look worse than it was.

Don't criticise them too much. Sure KW has done a great job and brought the team on from losing heavily to Mayo.

It's not his fault anyway, its because we're missing players.

Well said!

The reason Glennon wont make the team is due to the last two balls he won.

He had space and just his defender to beat for a goal chance and he just hasn't the belief in his pace to go for it and just looks to shoot or lay it off.

Might be worth looking at in midfield which is where he starred in the minor AI. I don't think Coen has ever shown more with the ball to suggest he's far superior.

threeball

Mannion a revelation in midfield. Totally wasted at wing or corner forward.

RMAOK

Soft goal to concede
