Doesn't say much for the higher ups in the GAA that we had 10+ games last weekend, one this weekend and 11 next weekend.


Grand if you like reading a lot about Roscommon and Galway but it's not great scheduling.

I'm finding it very to get into the championship the last couple of years. I have a chance to watch the TV today and there's only some round robin hurling to see, with Galway v Roscommon on Sky. It's getting a bit like the old days where the only live championship GAA I watched was from the semi finals on.

Hurling and football goalies get away with murder.

He may or may not have meant it, but it was a noble point tbf.

You can pull a hand, arm or the head of a player with little sanction but by Jaysus dare you pull a jersey, shooting offense.

No games should ever be played in salthill. I’m not sure Iv ever watched a game when it hasn’t rained or had a gale force wind effecting it

Galway were controlling the first while running off the shoulder, pressing up and then reverted to type and now roscommon have taken over.

Is this the first football game on rte?? Because you can see why. Awful stuff

Galway made two changes before game, including swapping a corner-forward for a midfielder. So essentially three across midfield and bodies back behind the ball despite having forwards that can do damage. Rory Gallagher must be salivating in the studio.

Yeah because 1 bad half of televised football means every game has been sh!te so far this year. Yawn

Poor_old_gill

Too many players on the Galway team afraid to shoot and always looking to lay it off

They’ll win this one by 5/6 points but nowhere near an AI

Pearse Stadium Salthill is arguably the worst sited GAA grounds in the country regardless of the weather.There must have been a lot of politics involved when it was built.Tuam,especially now with the new Motorway should be Galway GAA headquarters.

Galway have been good when they've pushed up. Looked like crap for 10mins when they sat back. Hardly fermanagh like. Resorting to cliche here instead of looking at the game in hand.

Pearse is a disaster.

Donegal v Tyrone was shown live last week.

Anytime I've been in Salthill the weather has always been nice, anytime I see a game on telly there it's always the worst weather imaginable.

For some reason the Connaght final always seems to be a terrible match. I'm struggling to remember any ones that stand out barring Sligo's win in 2007.

Ah give over torrential rain.. Ball like a bar of soap. You'd swear every hurling or rugby game was a classic the way some of ye go on

I’ll be a first to admit my interest in football isn’t great but I love watching a good game. A fast, intense and skilful game buts let’s face it these are few and far between in football.

So much handpassing, every player behind the ball and serious lack of creativity and skill. While I don’t want Dublin winning every year they are a joy to watch as they play the game in various ways and possess the skill to do so.

They could be playing in the snow with a bag of sand and it's still going to be more entertaining than rugby.

The bits of the Ulster championship I've seen it's looked very enjoyable and not the muck it was in the recent past.
