The 2023 All Ireland Senior Football Championship (Sam Maguire Cup)

Congrats on such a fantastic achievement. Come back to me when ye win the big one hun

2001 actually. This century. Not even the last one. VHS didn't even exist in 1951.

I just heard one interview where Joyce said they had nobody to blame but themselves...

The thing is, you still feel that Galway have an All-Ireland challenge in them.

If they got Kelly, Comer, Finnerty and Walsh fit and firing, "the last dance" style. Plus strengthen the bench a little. If the likes of Molloy and Silke return to the panel, Mulkerrin too. Maybe bring through 1 or 2 younger players. These are all achievable.

If Walsh landed that free v Armagh they'd still be in a great position, facing into Monaghan this weekend

PJ might be reluctant to walk away without giving it one last year.

Galway are funny.

Un Molloy and now McDaid, they have two brilliantly talented players, but they don't seem to know what to do with them. They've bounced McDaid everywhere except his All Star midfield position this year to try to shoehorn in Maher and Cook into the team. Comer is a huge talent, but relying on him to be fit for an extended period is folly, he simply has always been injury prone. You can't build a team around that.

It seems the more choices PJ has this year his team has gotten weaker, and that's on him really.

Molloy, injured this year anyway, is best as an attacking wing-back. McDaid is a victim of his own versatility, as he does get moved from position to position a lot. Midfield next season should be his spot for sure. Comer has had such a litany of injuries the past few years that getting and remaining fit is a big problem for him alright. Still a key man though. I think PJ has had a stronger squad this year, but afore-mentioned injuries, very patchy form from the likes of Tierney, Heaney, Finnerty and Walsh and a lack of attacking cohesion from the forwards has been his undoing. The forwards seem to have lost their mojo from last year, when the team was conceding more but outscoring nearly everyone else. Need to rediscover that flair.

It hasn't been all bad; the likes of Sweeney, Hernon and McGrath have emerged as reliable players - McGrath in particular I feel has had a better season than Glynn had last year when he was selected as Young player of the year. Hopefully also the likes of Culhane and McLoughlin from Moycullen can push for starting places as well.

I doubt if PJ will walk away but it might be no harm to freshen up the back-room team a bit.

Is there a way to buy GAA Go just for the weekends matches?

This is a good assessment,

Dublin/Mayo: traditionally has been extremely close over last 15/20 years usually a couple of points either way

Kerry/Tyrone: with the intense rivalry/dislike of each other built up over last 20 years they kind of bring out the best in each other and form lines can go out the window

Armagh/Monaghan: local derby, anything can happen, most 50/50 game that one can imagine

Cork/Derry: if this was played 2/3 months ago it would definitely be Derry by 6 to 8 points, Cork are now a completely transformed team playing with a good game plan and loads of confidence, could be a margin of a point or two either way

Lads...after making a major boo-boo there 😭

Over in France camping with dodgy WiFi....trying to get tickets for Sunday all morning....at one stage I actually managed to get a pair as far as checkout but the app crashed.

In a state of mild panic (and with the kids hassling me to go to the pool) I went straight back into the app and lo and behold got 4 tickets in the Davin End....wasn't until I got the email that I realised they're for the Saturday matches 😂

Doesn't seem to be too much of a chance of refund so if you know anyone looking for 4 tickets (2 Adult, 2 Juvenile) let me know

Email Ticketmaster they will cancel the transaction if you contact them within 24 hours of your mistake, they did it for me last year.

Policy must have changed since last year, I used this email to contact them

It would be interesting if someone could video just Clifford throughout a game like this to witness the abuse, quite often off the ball, that he has to put up with and which sleepy/cowardly umpires & linesmen ignore.
