Galway GAA Discussion Thread #2

Have Galway ever played a hurling match in Tuam, certainly not recently and don't recall senior club matches being played there either, so doubt that'll happen, but, certainly football league matches should definitely be played there.

If it was a choice between there and the dark side of the moon (i.e. Salthill), I know which they'd choose.

Seems like another year of Galway hurlers pumping long ball on top of a forward line not equipped to win it.

Can the sideline not see that nearly all our first half scores from play were worked through the lines.

I agree we were down players but we gave Tipp a platform to generate a huge lead. I dont see the way they play evolving as they've been doing the same the last 2 years. The same was said last year and they didn't evolve, they spent the season pumping high hopeful balls onto a forward line that's not built to win that ball.

If they go short through the lines or deliver long low ball into space we generally get alot of joy from that but I'd say we're getting turned over on 85 to 90% of ball we pump high and long including puckouts. Surely now is the time to develop the style that best suits you and gives you a smidgen of a chance if you play Limerick. What we're doing now is 100% guaranteeing you lose.

the holy trinity are back in the half back line. Hopefully they can get a run of games together before the start of the championship.

Anyone hear what is going on with Galway ladies team and the noticeable absence of the kilkerrin clonberne girls. I see that Ailish morrissey is the only KK Clonberne girl on the matchday squad of 30 again this weekend and has been the case for first 3 matches. Neither of the 2 x Divilly's or the 2 x ward sisters are available who would be regular starters in previous years. Know they under new management this year with Daniel Moynihan but doesn't augur well for the teams chances if they are without a number of these players. the all ireland club finals as mid December so would expect them to be back in the fold at this stage.

They were given an extended break. Think manager is trying to uncover a few extra.

Surely those old seats will be removed and replaced with new ones?

79%G v 21%T possession and we're a point down 🤔

Slow, ponderous play with no purpose. No runners coming off the shoulder to draw attention or break the line. Football in general is dross at the moment, but we're one of the least adventurous teams in the country.

Excatly. No runner off the shoulder makes us so easy to defend against. No options for Gleeson either on Kick Outs

That's just football today. Positions that would have been considering good scoring opportunities 20years ago are now ignored to get 5m closer but take 50 passes to get there.

No wonder people complain about the quality of the football being played.....

Maybe the wind had something to do with it as Tyrone wouldn't shoot there from wide open inside the D either.

2 nice scores to start the half if they can keep it up

Conroy injured now FFS. How do we get so many muscle injuries? Dublin hardly miss anyone all year round.

I can't believe management did nothing all winter on a new way of attacking. It's actually worse today than any match I can remember last year. The amount of lateral and backwards handpassing in the first half even when we turned the ball over and had a chance to quickly attack was chronic. Lads turning down 35 yard shots on goal. And then they take off our best forward prospect in OCurraoin, for Darcy FFS, and no decent ball being given to OCurraoin. It's just chronic. We're not going to be in the All Ireland semi finals again playing like this.
