Replying To yew_tree: "My reply was tongue in cheek…a bit of fun in response to suggestions Andy is a Roscommon man when it comes to GAA..which he certainly is not. As I always say if you can't take it don't give it." Andy is a mayo man. Not many people here think he's not . All just a bit of slagging..

Replying To ahsure.: "Do we have a goalkeeper capable of executing a consistently accurate kick-out strategy? While we can position players effectively, the precision of the kick-out is critical." The thing with Gleeson last Sunday was that he ended up kicking the ball out to a man who was marked, but that same Galway man had been free about ten seconds earlier in pretty much the exact same spot. But Gleeson was too slow overall in setting up. That happened numerous times.
I don't know if there's a manager better than Joyce to take over but I can't see Joyce winning the All Ireland because he didn't change after last year's final. The play is still too slow, it cost us last year's All Ireland and it's been our undoing this year. I don't think a change of coach will change anything, it didn't this year with Graham and Morris involved. He's stubborn and wedded to this slow buildup.
Hard to know, is O'Brien that previously managed Corofin at anything now? Is he good enough?

Replying To LeitrimBatman: "Was Aughavas, Aughnasheelin and Drumreilly not relegated from intermediate last year and Bornacoola won junior A so they be the only team to go up from Junior A which would make Intermediate a 8 team championship this year, looking like Junior A be a 10 team Championship, and likely to be a competitive one this year. I think the plan should be to have 3 top divisions as 8 teams in each and junior B & C could be 10 and 9 team championships as the numbers odd as it stands." 3 teams were relegated from Intermediate but they were replaced by the 3 teams who were relegated from Senior.
2026 will have 8 teams in Senior and Intermediate with one team promoted and one team relegated.
Junior has 10 teams. Im not sure if Junior will reduce to 8 teams for the 2027 season.

Replying To Blowin3: "Serious questions to be asked about Joyce's ability to ground a team too. Overconfidence bordering on arrogance before last year's final, against the Dubs in the first group game after they were beaten by Meath and again on Sunday. Management have to be able to read the build up to games which we are favorites for and have the team ready to go. Cost us last Sam last year and nothing learned from it." And you can provide a shrewd of evidence of this arrogance/overconfidence from within the squad for any of these games?
You are talking nonsense
We were favourites for Roscommon mayo Armagh Derry games this year too

Watching pirated games is no different, as well as possibly funding criminals via a dodgy box, you're taking for free what others are paying for and thinking that's smart." Pay away … good lad ..

Replying To The_analyser: "Against Tyrone conceding 2-1 before half time was a killer. Before that 26 minutes played we didn't look out of place on S&C which included knock them off the ball with a number of heavy hits. Another thing that let us down in that game was our shooting efficiency ours was 43% compared to Tyrone 60% we'll see this weekend if we were beaten by the best team at U17 level this year and that what was our only defeat all year I might add.
It was a good group of young rossies and the next step is bringing as many as possible into U20 level over the next three years and then hopefully Senior after that." Not dismissing the achievement of winning a connacht title, just using this game as a example of the serious neglect of s+c in the county, the 2nd goal they scored was a example of how s+c is so important in the modern game. we had some of the best talent produced at underage from 2012 to 2015 and all we have to show is two connacht titles since then. Haven't won in CP since the 80's in championship and getting knock out consistently in championship by div 2/3 teams in the last 10 years. The CB needs to wake up and get whatever resources in place so the next group of players can perform at county level.

Replying To jj19: "Glynn on him, in all fairness the lad was unmarkable. Too much space and time. Interesting to see how he gets on vs donegal. For meaths first goal which was sloppy, we had mc grath who isn't the tallest lad caught in a 1 on 1 with a player who was 6 foot 2. Total mis match but teams look fir that. Think the lads name was grey....he had a fine catch near the end too around the middle." There is a slow motion of goal online if you can get it. McGrath did well disposed him and shot is prob going wide but deflects off Fitz
Meath player took about 10 steps but hard to tell as they are short steps off balance.
They also swapped hands at least once.
I thought in stadium DOF was fouled for 2nd goal but way going back he went to ground too easily

Replying To TrueBlue35: "If Dessie goes as expected at the end of this season then the job I'd say is Ger's IF he wants it. I would expect he will get offering the role and I think it'll be a case of having to take it for fear of it not coming around again. One thing in his favour is that there are no other standout candidates who are available and it will always be an internal appointment. I'd say Darcy might be the other name mentioned but not sure if he'd be prepared to leave his gig with Leinster rugby. Ger plus a quality back room team would be fine with me anyway!" how prophetic these words have proved .

Replying To gilly1910: "Yeah I like the idea of Paddy Andrews taking over as manager a lot more than Joyce staying on. He's had six years at the helm which is a long time in any sport, and after yet another disappointing season it's time for him to give someone else a chance. Even though Galway are no world beaters, they are genuine challengers for Sam, and I firmly believe that they are hamstrung under Joyce. Because of his deserved legendary status as a player, Joyce gets a free pass from the County Board and most of the media, but sorry after last year's absolute **** show against Armagh he was lucky to get even another year at the helm. He's had his extra year, we didn't even come close to winning Sam, so time for Padraic to do the honourable thing and step aside." Taking over as manager based on what? has he manager any team before, what would he know about Galway, has he even watch a Galway club game or Galway county underage county match? offtheball talk off the top of head is the best place for him.

Replying To bláthach: "Begs the question why was Burke ever appointed so in the first place?" Well to be fair burke won a all Ireland u21 with Kildare. I think he did fairly well in club football to. I think he will be a good manager but he needs to calm down and realise he needs to take the advice of the people around him sometimes and not be so stubborn. He loves football and id say he's obsessed and seems like a nice fella but sometimes you need to take a step back and listen to the lads you brought in to help

Replying To streaker: "Agree 100%. Joyce, or actually moreover his "team" have had their run.
I genuinely think he could've been really successful as a manager with Galway. He just was too loyal to some." It should go back to the 2024 final.
That all ireland final was lost on the sideline in the last 10 min.
Decisions were not made and the team lost complete composure in the last 10 min.
This year Galway were very lucky to make it to a quater final.

It's the same old same old on this forum. Everyone shouting that we should be trying players from other clubs yet can never actually name these players that would supposedly do a better job for the county team. Thought McCarville had a good year for Monaghan.

Late County Finals - Split Season - 1 Like(s)
Replying To tirawleybaron: "Wexford have 12 teams and are the least successful county in senior club football - so a very high probability that their representative goes out in the first round and the whole thing doesn't effect them. (if any county should adopt the Kerry club football it should be Wexford - buts thats another discussion)
Lets say that there representatives win a provincial match.
There current 2 groups of 6 becomes 5.
Instead of the top 4 in each group of 6, it becomes the top 3 in 5 goes to the quarter finals
The defending champs and intermediate champs then enter at qfinals.
This one is very simple in reality.
Last year Glynn Barntown lost 3 of 5 matches and still made the qfinals - making them try a bit harder during the round robin (they then beat Shelmaliers who topped the other group) wont do any harm.
As I said earlier, park the local club begrudgery and realise that each county should give their own winners the best chance to go on the represent the rest of the clubs and win the provincial/all ireland club.
Taking the Wexford example, Castletown played 8 matches between 20th July and 27th October (8 matches in 14 weeks) and then got beat out the gate a month later by St Lomans Mullingar. So its more likely that their intermediate champions would get a bye." Do you actually believe it makes sense for an Intermediate champion to got a bye to the following season's Senior Quarterfinal.
Would they actually even want that. First game, straight into a quarterfinal.

Replying To OverTheHill85: "Well said, unfortunately on forums like this a lot of people seem to take any criticism personal rather than actually taking it on board and listening to genuinely concerns or grievances people have on certain topics. For instance playing club championship matches on All Ireland Final day or at least a direct clash with the games is a massive issue for clubs; reasons like this can put a lot of them off giving a bit back, some people can disagree with this but I know for sure it's a genuine annoyance that wasn't listened to. Putting an U20 and Junior B Championship directly at the same time as an adult championship where some players have three games in five days doesn't seem to be listened to either; and then the chairman comes out and throws everyone under the bus despite raising nearly €1m; and in all fairness if they had their house in order on day one it would have been a lot more. So he can air his grievances but the clubs must put up and shut up; certainly not a democracy by any means. There was threats made to remove home venues from clubs with no referees also at one stage; crazy stuff. So maybe they can learn from this but highly unlikely." The idea of removing home games from clubs without referees is very much on the cards. What's wrong with it? Other counties use it and it works. There are clubs without referees for years, why shouldn't they contribute in some way, otherwise no games happen. There was never a club championship match that directly clashed with an All Ireland final, there was the odd game fixed for the actual day of the final but in the morning.

Mc Stay did nothing in his time as manager and if the county board wanted change and he was too stubborn to take the hint then they were left with no option but to sack him…. They took the proper course of action…!
