That was a lovely point from Clare at the finish there.
Roscommon are gash which doesn’t say much about Galways chance of progressing.
Clare have spent more money on football than hurling this year.

- Galvin never said that.
- Against Dublin in 13 Kerry were just not good enough, the rubbish about that “classic thriller” is nonsense. Dublin were well in control. However their superb fitness does not mean the Kerry management dodn’t dona good job. It means dublins was better.
- Any victory has muliple reasons and good management teams use everyones skills. So you can say sheedy, i could say someone else. Pointless. Fact is he was a coach as part of 3 very successful teams, 2 win All Irelands.
- Kildare played good football and gave good display against Mayo. They have improved alot from last year depite losing players. You can only do so much. And 18-20 year olds are not going to improve over night, notwithstanding the best of those teams are not there anymore besides Kelly maybe.
Behind a paywall so I haven’t read the article but the Newstalk Sunday papers review segment implied that he was scathing of O’Neill’s methods without mentioning him by name.
Any subscribers that can copy and paste the full article?
Ewan?
- He did
- Kerry in 13 was a lot closer than they came in last year’s final
- Stickball is about launching the ball from one end of the field to the other
- Kildare had lost the game after 35 minutes against Mayo. They had a double digit deficit at half time and the second half was played at an exhibition tempo as the game was up.
Management and coaching is a lot about emotional intelligence, relating to people, reading people, being self aware, knowing what buttons to press. Combine all that with an eye for a player and technical knowledge.
You get the sense with Cian O’Neill that it is all about Cian O’Neill. Similar to McGeeney

Dear God
Be the fuck
You just described Alex Ferguson on both points.
And the difference between CON and McGeeney are around the same as the skills of Eoghan O’ Gara and Maurice Fitzgerald.

Ahhhhahahahahaha. If only you knew.
Galvin did his own weight training the whole time. He wants to blame someone else for his uneducated training for years before O’Neill. Couldn’t make it up.
Kildare beat Cork in the championship last year and Jason Ryan was dispensed with. Meanwhile O’Neill is getting praised for leading them to a 6, 9 or 10* point defeat against Mayo this year.
*I didn’t catch the final score.
He is getting praised for improving the fitness, mental stability and general style of the team.
How do you know their mental stability has improved?
Because of the way they stayed so consistent against Mayo, did not fall apart and stuck to their plan well.
They collapsed against Weatmeath. The Mayo game was over at half time.
