All square in Navan. Black card earlier for Armstrong, heād been playing well and itās been all Meath since. This cunt Eamonn Wallace seems to be running rings around us
Galway had a 5 point lead in the 2nd half and now trail 3-14 to 3-8:rolleyes:
[quote=ākerry1891, post: 896859, member: 1379ā]Mulholland has a decent cv ?? All Ireland under 21 and success with Salthill\Knock?
Galway have had every type of manager from local men to outside all Ireland winning managers e.g. Liam Sammon, Joe Kernan , Tomas OāFlaharta and now another local man. Surely at this stage time for the players to stand up and less focus on the manager
The more time goes by the more it looks like Sammon got a raw deal. Galway played brilliant football under him in that all Ireland qf v Kerry in monsoon conditions. Havent come near that form 3 managers later![/quote]
He certainly has the CV, winning minor and under 21 all Irelandās is a fantastic achievement, but Iām not sure he has what it takes at senior level. Some of his team selections last year were beyond belief and nearly resulted in defeats to Tipp and Waterford in our own back yard. It was nearly by default that he ended up picking the right players for the games against Armagh and Cork. Donāt forget the defeat to Antrim the previous year as well.
Youāre right though, regardless of his managerial ability, players have to show a bit more leadership and there has been a serious absence of steel and hunger in Galway players for several years now. Sammon had them playing lovely football and was dispensed with too soon. In fairness to Kernan and O Flahartha, they were only given a season each to get it right. I think Mulholland has more to work with talent wise than either of those two, just not sure he knows how to make the best use of it. Anyway, theyāve collapsed again today, Meath now lead 3-15 to 3-08
Seems to be magnificent fare here between Kildare and Mayo.
Goal by Gary Sice, 4 points in it but only a couple of mins left.
Some winning point by Paddy Brophy.
Kildare win 2-19 to 2-18.
Full time Meath 3-18 Galway 4-11
Final score in Navan Meath 3-18 Galway 4-11
Two great defences on show anyway:pGalway also missed a penalty in 1st half. Relegation dogfight by the sounds of things
Were you at it laz
No Faldo, thank fuckā was listening to GBfm
How did the young lads play?was at a funeral so didnāt see or hear anything
Not great by the sounds of it but theyāll all come on for it. Walsh was the best of them goaled in the first half. Meath missed a shitload, goals kept us in it but Meath were on a different level in the 2nd half and we looked all at sea. Our best lads were Army before the black, Conroy, Sice and Flynn when he came on. Didnāt hear much from James Kavanagh.
Commentators reckon fellas being afraid to pick up black cards was the reason for the goalfest. I wouldnāt say itās all doom and gloom, Meath sounded like they were way ahead of us in terms of fitnes and we should improve with lads to come back as well. How we get on next week against Donegal will tell us a lot
Wins for Leitrim, Clare, Wicklow and Tipp in Div 4.
The great Johnny Doyle has committed to another year playing for Kildare.
Its going to be a long, long, yet short, year.
I didnt dislike the fact that Johnny Doyle is committing to another season.

Both Clifford Murray were flaky as fuck, donāt qualify.
How have the black cards gone?
Going by the scoring very well. Early days, but could be the best thing to happen in football for years.
