Galway GAA Discussion Thread #2

@cosatron a lot of very good tickets up on TM now

Think after this weekend, the damage was done in the game against Armagh. Dublin, Kerry and Derry all won after the week off from topping the group. Only Monaghan won from winning the week previously which I think shows Armagh was lucky to be there as group winners. Having said that, I think we would have had only one more outing as based on Kerry and Dublin's performances over the weekend, we would not have gotten close to them. We haven't put up a score like that against decent opposition in 20 years. We need to make huge progress in our forward division if we are to succeed. Asking Comer or Walsh to have spectacular days is not a plan.

the rugby ref, they must be worried its going to get overly physical. 😀 Lovely. rode us against clare in 2018 semi buying tony kelly's dive.

🤣🤣 Apologies. I think the shock of the selection frazzled me a little! Not his biggest fan....

He reffed the 2018 Final in addition to letting Hegarty away with murder in the 2020 semi. So not a great omen.

We all seem to have a Owens memories burnt into our brains. 2018 Leinster Final replay when he let Ger Aylward take 12 steps to kick the ball to the net will never leave me!!

Not great to hear as he's had a good impact in matches this year and been one of his better years. His size and physique would he needed this weekend more than even with limerick's back 6 as be afraid likes of Liam Collins will struggle to make an impact against them.We need a big impact from Conor Cooney off the bench this weekend as he badly needs a decent performance.

If Concannon has being inconsistent Cooney has being dreadful . But there is a word going around that Concannon is struggling with an injury so if that’s true then maybe

Wonder could Hannon yet make an appearance? Stranger things have happened.

Concannon only got into the Leinster final when moved to the HF line. His goal in Nowlan Park came from running deep also. Maybe wing-forward might suit him better.

I dunno. Concannon has been finding more ball and had a couple of very handy scores he wasted against Tipp. There'll be days where it just doesn't happen and he had his shocker against Tipp. I think he's more effective in the half forward-line and that gives Kevin Cooney and Whelo the chance to pull the fullback-line out to the wings. They're both well able to beat their man one on one.

Elsewhere I heard rumours Hannon would be fit enough to take a spot on the bench Saturday. He wouldn't be risked unless the game is down to the wire though.

I have two tickets for section 705 upper Cusack, Row A so that is front between 45 and 65. My Dad cannot go and my friend as a spare elsewhere so looking to off load. My friends were complementary so if I could get 70 back for mine I’d be happy.

Is Flynn injured?

Surprised Shefflin would drop him altogether with how often he uses him off the bench.

He's out for 3 months

I can't see who on that bench bar maybe Monaghan you would trust to come in and make a big difference and even with him it's 50...50. We have no forward there that will make a difference. If Whelan doesn't produce a 9/10 performance it could be a 10 point hammering

Will you stop. Whelan was quiet last year and it was level with 3 mins left
