Certainly the journey difficulty eg Moycullen/knocknacarra to loughgeorge is similar as glan williamstown. Also training takes place in salthill a lot which would be tough journey for north Galway clubs. Also he said team selection is 3/1 north he insinuated spread was too high north which is nonsense 5 of team was west Wednesday so it is 2/1. Also it's irrelevant where they are from but it was the midfield of 2 west players that was biggest issue in team and I feel a change should have been made there across the 4 games He also believes LOC performances puts him in position for a starting corner forward spot on team which I would disagree with also. jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1440 - 11/04/2025 12:45:35 2601500 Link 1 |

Yeah no thats Fair enough on some of those points, I'll concede on a few (SÓD can say some mad stuff at times!)...BUT its not that straightforward at the same time: Certainly the journey difficulty eg. Moycullen/knocknacarra to loughgeorge is similar as glan williamstown. - Yes but I think he was say its harder for the clubs west of Spidéal (MB, C Rua, L Mor, CC etc.) Also training takes place in salthill a lot which would be tough journey for north Galway clubs. - Its a 90min drive from C Rua and closer to 2 hours from Clifden Also he said team selection is 3/1 north he insinuated spread was too high north which is nonsense 5 of team was west Wednesday so it is 2/1. - I dont agree that there is an team selection bias, at least I hope not. Some years will see more representation than others. Also it's irrelevant where they are from but it was the midfield of 2 west players that was biggest issue in team and I feel a change should have been made there across the 4 game - Totally Agree He also believes LOC performances puts him in position for a starting corner forward spot on team which I would disagree with also. - If hes going well hes def a contender. Hes call but for whatever reason has shown full potential at IC, but his ceiling is very high (I will admit, I am biased here though!).

Firstly, his distance to training argument is null and void, as the vast majority of u20s would be travelling to training/matches from where they're based in college, not their home. Secondly, if he thinks LOC or COC, or FOL, or any other Connemara based forward who was given a chance recently, has done anything to warrant inclusion in a championship XV.... Sean is seriously deluded. streaker (Galway) - Posts: 510 - 11/04/2025 13:42:57 2601511 Link 1 |

Any Journey that involves crossing the river and crossing the City is painful. We in the NB rightly moan about it every time we have to endure it to attend a match as supporters. But there is no solution. The manager has to balance it between Claregalway and Salthill.

That's it exactly. The management should try and balance where the training is. There's no easy solution in a big county/" like Galway. Also given the time of year involved pre season - it's not that easy to find pitches for training when the weather is bad so they're hamstring ti some extent there by availability of pitches. At academy level below minor the teams are regionalised galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1305 - 12/04/2025 08:33:55 2601559 Link 0 |

Recently watched Antoine O Laoi play for An Spideal and I can honestly say he looks the player he was a few years back during the league when on the senior panel...absolutely flying, not sure how he hasn't been asked back in, a better scoring option than his brother.

Don't think FOL is there for his scoring. If he could score he'd be an all star. Work rate is top class, but his shooting is terrible. AOL was playing in the dev panel last year for the fbd i think. Good to hear he's going well. Bad time with injuries Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1917 - 13/04/2025 15:48:40 2601702 Link 0 |

Back from the buzz of NYC and now the real battle begins. I know for certain that the Rossies are strongly, strongly expecting to ambush us on Sunday. They're absolutely loving going into this as outsiders. There's already plenty of quiet debate over there as to where the Connacht final v Mayo should be, McHale or The Hyde. I ain't making this up! There's only one answer to that, lads! Bring it on. Gaillimh Abú!! togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 1038 - 14/04/2025 14:23:44 2601858 Link 0 |

Galway are 2/7 on to win this Sunday with a winning margin of 4-6 Points at least according to the bookies and their punters hard to argue with that, I expect myself Galway to win by a minimum 5 points on Sunday. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3576 - 14/04/2025 15:43:35 2601878 Link 1 |

Think people need to realise teams are going to concede higher scores. There is very little difference to hurling scores. 20pts won't be enough in most games look at Cavan and Wicklow at weekend Even with defensive football last few years scores have never been higher. jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1440 - 14/04/2025 16:58:26 2601887 Link 0 |

Yes agreed and have seen it on a few forums with a few posters going on about how they are conceding too much. That is the very nature of the game now under these rules It's a forwards game now and I pity defenders who have getting little or no protection.
