Galway GAA Discussion Thread #2

Things either aren't rosy or O Neill can't see them making another all ireland because very few walk away from a team that made it to an all ireland.

Either way, the setup is too negative, not sure if that's on O Neill or Joyce but it's pure muck to watch. I can't see anyone playing within that system actually enjoying it and the only way they justify it to themselves is the belief it'll bring them an all ireland. So by that logic every year will be a failure bar the ones you win all irelands. Hopefully they bring in a coach that actually wants to play football.

A few years ago a promising hurler from East Clare, Darragh or Dara Whelan, transferred to Castlegar. I thought that he had the making of a very good club player but lost touch with his progress in Galway. Could any Galway club supporter throw any light on whether he's still playing and if so is he playing well.

its hard to know whats going. It will need to get sorted asap. If he doesn't bring anyone in, we are goosed.

I think all bar Finnerty are nailed on. He was very good against Mayo and Donegal. I can't recall another standout match. Maybe he will get one. To be honest I'd have Gleeson in ahead of him. Galway won't get 6 All Stars so they'd be my 5.

I guess there's bias in me saying Conroy has to get footballer of the year but both him and Maher were better in general in more matches than McCambridge. Can't say he kept Walsh quiet in the final when you see how crocked Walsh was on the frees. Conroy has to get it. Scored an amount of points from big distances in a good few matches.

quick q. In regard to the senior B hurling championship in Galway. Is it only the winner of the final that gets promoted to Senior A?

FInally Dave morris has also being added. Really excited about this appointment

The stand is a joke, there’s no cover in it. Not sure how that design got signed off.

Sice must be the greatest club player we've produced in my lifetime. Couldn't happen to a sounder fella either, especially after his hardships.

Havent been there yet but from talking to others that there at semis they refused for yesterday as said May as well be on far terrace as the stand for what cover you get. Said it must have been designed by a group of TY students.

Disappointing that when they go to such costs to refurb a " stadium" that they could get it so wrong. Questions have been asked on who designed it or what they had done previously.

Bad n all that pearse stadium is to get into and how cold it is there you at least know that you'll get cover if you going for league game there in pissing rain.

if you are not in the last couple of rows in the centre of the stand you’re getting wet. I’ve no idea what they were thinking when they were designing it.

Obviously caused by the height and elevation of the roof. You'd imagine at this stage in a western county there'd be design info on the proper elevation of a roof to provide shelter.

Croker alright doesn't necessarily provide cover in the double letter rows. When you're in the corner and it's wet, the roof is a mile away in the sky to prevent rain.

One big gripe I have with the stand in Tuam from watching on TV is why is Gaillimh not on the seats?

I understand the money the O'Tooles put in, but Joe O'Tooles name is written across the top of the stand. It was self indulgent of the family to let it be put on the seats. They developed Tuam to try and get county matches back there, but why in the name of God did they do that to the stand? No other county ground has that. It's just stupid.

5 All Stars, glad Finnerty got one. 💪
