What a score

01-04-2018 04:36PM

Mistakes just killing us.

You need to attack the space at some point... cant just keep going in and out in their 45 or someone will make a mistake.

Another bad mistake again by Walsh before i could even finish typing this.

Last two scores conceded and and few attacks have been poor.

Doctors room ghost · 01-04-2018 04:37PM

Take Walsh off ffs he’s at nothing

BENDYBINN · 01-04-2018 04:44PM

Need Armstrong now

01-04-2018 05:10PM

Thats what happens when you don't have a kick out strategy.

3 lost in a row and over the bar.

Zero movement.

Dublin then just open space and we're foolishly man marking.
You need to zonal mark.

Won't be beating teams equal or better if you're losing kickouts because there's no plan on either end.

The ref is having a mare. Definitely favouring Dublin. He's cost Galway a few scores and several Dublin players should have received black cards instead of yellow.

SecretsOfEarth · 01-04-2018 05:11PM

Galway showing well so far, lack of a kickout strategy and simple errors have given Dublin a handy 5 or 6 points - both are things that can be worked on however.

sligeach · 01-04-2018 05:14PM

The ref bottling black cards earlier in the game has helped Galway now with that red card.

lillielad · 01-04-2018 05:17PM

Some point by Shane Walsh there...

01-04-2018 05:18PM

How the **** are they still being allowed to kick it short with 14 men.

donnem33 · 01-04-2018 05:24PM

what a save!

sligeach · 01-04-2018 05:26PM

Another muppet decision from the referee.

lillielad · 01-04-2018 05:31PM

He really should have passed that off, could have been a goal chance on too.

sligeach · 01-04-2018 05:32PM

Galway have made some dreadful decisions going forward and it's Dublin that look like they've the extra man at times.

sligeach · 01-04-2018 05:35PM

Kilkenny will be auditioning for Fair City next week. A perfect match.

CiarraiAbu2 · 01-04-2018 05:39PM

I know the ref isnt helping but there have been some very questionable decisions in the last 10 mins by Galway going forward.

01-04-2018 05:40PM

Let this be the last year KW is in charge as we've made no progress under him.

What's improved is the players available.

We had an extra man yet we were still kicking it long and losing theirs.

They were holding onto the ball like they had the extra player.

When year after year you have players doing what Conroy done with that goal chance you know the coaching is poor.

No point wasting another year with him in charge... should have been sent packing after Tipperary hammered us.

Completely fed up seeing us being stunted by someone who doesn't understand the modern game. The kick and catch days playing off the cuff are over.

What are you on about? Team is improving, performances are improving and we just pushed the best team in Ireland very close. With Corofin lads back we'll be a real threat in championship. Quieten down

The players have improved. The coaching has not.

Yes offence but you haven't a clue

Dublin won by 4 points and played a huge chunk a man down while also being down a number of All Stars and you think it's a good result or that coaching wasn't the difference?.

Seems you're the one that hasn't a clue.

Dr_serious2 · 01-04-2018 05:52PM

Getting to an Allianz league final would have been beyond our wildest expectations three months ago. We have to take the positives from that performance - very few can go toe-to-toe with Dublin like that.

Some poor decision making, bad wides and carrying the ball into the tackle cost us.

There is room for improvement in this very talented team. With the Corofin lads back we will be a major force in the championship and we will beat Mayo on 13 May.

Not long ago we were limping over the line against Waterford in the championship at home. Great to have a good footballing side to get behind again. Fair play to the lads for their effort. Now the real test begins, bring on Mayo!

I completely agree there's improvement in this team but I just don't see KW being the one to deliver it.

I'd have no qualms with the players today either they all tried their best.

He’s there now so let’s back him and the team . I know Dublin had player sent off but I thought overall we got very little from ref . We are going the right way . Was very surprised Armstrong got no game time ??? Surely a better option then the likes of Flynn

ClanofLams · 01-04-2018 06:18PM

Under Kevin Walsh Galway won their first Connacht championship in eight years, won Division two and in their first season in Division one reached the final
coming within a score basically of what many pundits are calling one of the best teams in history.

Giving Walsh no credit for that is ridiculous.

Doctors room ghost · 01-04-2018 06:32PM

Fair play to the lads.huge improvement in their overall performance in past while.they were hungry and gamey looking today.room for improvement but progress none the less. I was proud to watch them and I look forward to seeing them in championship.
I think they are in a good position after today.kickout now can be worked on. I would question why management were slow again today.no way is Shane Walsh match fit and even though he kicked some scores he was nowhere for a lot of the game.
And even though I wouldn’t try and use it as an excuse I thought the ref was shocking bad.roll on the championship.galway football is in a good place.also congrats to Roscommon.

He was injured, not on bench.

I would have said the same about Michael Donoghue last year and I was wrong, very wrong!

Utopia Parkway · 01-04-2018 07:44PM

Great to be competitive with Dublin all the way through that game but I don't think we played the last 10 minutes very well albeit the referee was giving Dublin everything down the stretch. Maybe subconsciously trying to make up for the Scully red card.

Conroy ignoring two teammates only to shoot wide himself was a pivotal moment near the end. There was a goal chance on there but at the very least get a point from it but he even missed that.

A few weeks ago you would have taken being very competitive wth Dublin over two games when a lot of people were saying Galway would get hammered in both or at least definitely up in Croke Park.

A few players to come back into the team yet like Ian Burke and Michael Daly. Will be some crowd up in Castlebar on May 13.
