It doesn’t help when 26 must be sent into Croke Park on a Thursday morning and is made public on a Friday afternoon
We didn’t name many dummy teams until cork last year from what I recall but maybe it’s more a reflection of the fitness of players and doubts over them until last minute.
Advantage galway
Football is the most popular sport on the planet and survives with teams being announced only an hour before kick off.
Journalists - Martin Brehony and co - moaning about dummy teams etc grates. Complaining over the lack of a press night from any of the 4 teams before the semi final is their last whinge.
Big vote of confidence in Coughlan
Limerick by 4
Great to see Cian Lynch back starting.
Here come the circles
Limerick and dummy teams , wow
The dummy team is the real team but by everyone complaining about it being a dummy team Galway won’t realise it’s the real team.
He’s tearing it up in training
Ah the double bluff has Henrys head wrecked. He will be roaring at the ref and sprinting to the 4th official within 10 minutes of throw in.
It is not a dummy team.
Fun? This is serious fucking business.
The Ginger Whinger in full flow .
Shefflin at home thinking who can do a Lar Corbett for him and mark at half forward.
It will be interesting to see if Kinnerk can behave himself on the sideline this year.
Whelo to track Hego it’s their only chance
Hegarty and Kyle were immense last year in the final in the half forward line.
Seems so strange to play them both in the half back line.
We haven’t seen lynch at his best arguably since the cork final in 2021. It’s a huge task for him on Saturday but he has the ability obviously.
I couldn’t see us losing to Clare under any circumstances before the game and it was fairly clear how the game would unfold.
I think we’ll be under a lot pressure on Saturday to get a result. I don’t like the look of the side picked but hopefully I’m all wrong.
Great stickmen can play anywhere sure
