    Galway need long term manager instead of changing every couple seasons.Galway seem to have a different goalkeeper,midfield partnership,centre forward every year,players like Ger Mahon,John Lee,Kevin Hynes,Iarla Tannian were promising minors who have yet to show conistency at senior level.Galway need leaders in central postions,
    how come likes of Ritchie Muray,Niall Healy,David Forde,Eoin Forde(both Fordes had good all ireland club final)not on panel?

    Ritchie and Niaill both opted away from the panel. Eoin forde is on the panel but was injured in recent weeks I believe. David Forde had a reasonable career in the maroon and white. Not sure if he opted out or not, or was he just dropped.

    As for Ger Mahon, Kevin Hynes and Iarla Tannion. Their careers have been disrupted significantly with injury. It has'nt helped them develop. With John Lee I'm not sure if his head has been fully in it. He was or still is in college doing medicine. He left the panel at one stage to concentrate on his studies and has struggled to make the team ever since. John Lee had great potential but he his flaws never improved. He never improved at clearing the ball for example.
    A lot of them never had the same level of dedication that hurlers in Kilkenny and Tipperary have. They don't have the same level of discipline with regards diet and conditioning. And thats putting in mildly

    With regards this point. McIntyre is in year three and although he did well at times, winning the league, the team seems to be going backwards again. The same went for Conor Hayes, who also got three years, won the league and the team went nowhere. Ger Loughnanne was given two years, and at no stage got anywhere. The only man in recent times who was hard done by was Noel Lane but that was all of ten years ago. I'm not sure I agree, we've given managers plenty of time. At some point we must accept we don't have the talent.
