    Is there anything planned in the city for the game? Big screen in Eyre Square etc

    Clare & Cork both had viewings for the Hurling final.

    nerves kicking in a bit … god knows what it’s like for players and management . Honestly think we are a slightly better team then Armagh but all Ireland final day and anything can happen . Looks like we will have a full hand to pick from bar hernon but still huge question marks over Kelly and slightly smaller ones over comer and Walsh . We will need a lot more out of comer and Walsh then we got in semi final to get over the line I think. Anyway enjoy the rest of build up and roll on Sunday !

    Anything can turn a tight contest.. A black card.. A sending off.. A soft goal.. A game ending injury, if were within a point or 2 either way goin into the final quarter I'll be hoping we make it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,873 ✭✭✭spurshero


    defo … I will be amazed if there’s anymore then 2 points in it either way with a strong possibility of extra time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭mjp


    Anyone any idea what hotel the team staying in on Sunday night. Going staying up the night and thinking be handy book in where they are if doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

    Supposed to be a fanzone in Eyre square now too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 874 ✭✭✭Stewball


    Really hope so. If we get the weather (a big if) it could be great craic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,069 ✭✭✭✭threeball


    I talked to a couple of people planning on going there so I assume it is.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭evolvingtipperary101


    Mattie Kenny being lined up, is it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,703 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    In other news the seats have been installed in the new stand in Tuam Stadium

    Would hurling enthusiastic people in Galway show any emotion ahead of sunday. You sometimes forget joyce and Canning are from the one county, two all time greats.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,397 ✭✭✭cosatron


    yes we will. Allot of the hurling fraternity wouldn't go the match but will watch. Big support for football in the city, connemara, north and east galway which wouldn't be hurling stronghold.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 184 ✭✭Inforapenny


    How fit are Shane Walsh, Kelly & Finnerty do we think?

    Neutral here but will be shouting for Galway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,703 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    All named in the starting 15 anyway

    Getting ready up there for the homecoming on Monday

    Good luck on Sunday, while I wouldn't mind seeing either team win I'd prefer for Sam to cross the Shannon. I hope Comer in particular has a good game, he's a class player



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,873 ✭✭✭spurshero


    well done to the camogie ladies . To have the senior men’s football ladies football and camogie in 3 all Ireland finals in croker next 3 Sundays is no mean achievement . A lot of counties would kill for it . Hopefully tomo will be a great day .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,904 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    Not the place for it I know but just extremely annoyed today looking for a second Hill ticket so can try and bring my son tomorrow.

    He wants to go to every game and we try and get to plenty. But him hearing of others going who would never attend a match getting to go is such shite.

    1st world problem I know, but still.

    Wonder will there be big numbers in Pearse Stadium tomorrow, or will Eyre square be the place most will go?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,873 ✭✭✭spurshero


    there saying there expecting a crowd of 10thousand in pearse stadium ….. it’s prob a thing that’s hard to judge to be fair



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,430 ✭✭✭C__MC


    Good luck I hope galway win

    A year til Sunday quote from JOM via Divo sticks to mind. "This is the biggest day of your lives, it should be the best day of your lives". Enjoy tomorrow folks be what may. Up Galway

    Anyone know if the roadworks are still ongoing near Kinnegad?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,022 ✭✭✭FintanMcluskey


    It's always been the same regarding tickets, particularly bringing young kids. Almost impossible get seats beside each other unless a family member is heavily involved with a senior club.

    Lots of tickets turning up tonight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,939 ✭✭✭Happyilylost


    Dublin is awash with Maroon tonight.

    Comer first goalscorer. Comer man if the match. See the difference in a man that didn't train just so he could be on a pitch to a man who has trained hard for two weeks.

    Unleash the beast.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,048 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    looks the job , but i cant understand why they didnt continue the stand roof over into the town end corner



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,048 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    best of luck tomorrow , you were good enough to wish us well last week it would be wrong not to return the favour

    i fancy galway , i think rob finerty will finally get the recognition he deserves he's been a player of the year candidate all year , i think the performances of john maher and sean mulkerin since the group stage have been serious and both putting themselves in the all star picture , Mathew tierney and liam silke have been a picture of consistency all year and the 3 lads at the back are the best full back line in the country

    on paper there are a lot of all stars in this side before you start to mention paul conroy , shane walsh , comer, kelly, mcdaid , this is a really good team , it probably will be a tight and nervous affair like the ulster final

    it would make for a great photo shoot though on the border with sean kelly and tony kelly with both cups next week

    Nerves are shot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,022 ✭✭✭FintanMcluskey


    When Walsh scores 1 from play and misses 3 frees it's not Galways day.
