He got unlucky with injuries tbf but it’s gotten away from him sadly

I always got the feeling that he was too good a player and his mindset didn’t allow him to accept that others weren’t as good/talented/ballsy/dedicated whatever, which led to an irritability which crossed onto the pitch on occasion.
He made a potentially great team very good.

That team I think we’re good enough to win one. They played really well. They were very very good, but I just got the feeling that they probably should have won it once. Maybe they will, but it’s more competitive now albeit without a great side around just at the minute.

Not as bad as that, but that sort of thing maybe, to a lesser degree.

If Shane Walsh was as good a player as he thinks he is then Padraig Joyce might have got this team over the line. Joyce mas a brilliant player and has done a very good job as manager

How many big championship games have Comer and Walsh started together,then you have the mayo lad in the corner usually disappearing when needed.Thats still an excellent Galway team tbf but PJ has gone as far as he can with them i think

Ah yeah maybe he has gone as far as he can with them, I just don’t think he is the main cause of them not getting over the line. Players have needed to show more spine

Goal keeper and 3/6 are Gaways biggest problems as far as i can see.Fine from midfield up.They arent far away tbf,are there players from M/M not committing?

Unforgiveable that Joyce didn’t walk after last year’s final. Today’s second match more of an indictment than the first. If he didn’t win it last year he was never going to.

Don’t you mean the walsh would have gotten them over the line? He gave a performance for the ages in the final against Kerry, he was better than Clifford, and still lost. So that’s a fairly nonsense comment I’d say.

He was unbelievable in that final tbf,the ref fucked Galway over in that final when they should have had a free in for Silke iirc but Kerry went down the field and got a point instead.Walsh is one of the most skillful players ive ever seen.

He was brilliant in that final yes, without doubt. I just don’t get lads saying Joyce has held them back. Walsh is an excellemt footballer, I just think there are days where he is a little self indulgent. I think people need to look at why the players come up short in tight matches. I was much too harsh on Walsh in my earlier post, few sunday evening beers!

Miriam o Callaghan is going to have to chair a Prime Time Special on the sort of nepotism and conflicts of interests that is endemic in Irish Politics

Chilling etc etc.And they wonder why people dont trust the news anymore

If you can as a nation state actor, control and weaponise the media…it’s an asset.

Miriam is a heartbeat away from chairing a prime time special on Miriam o’callaghan
