Word on the yard of Athenry Mart is that we’ll have a raft of changes in the Galway team for Sunday…
The scripts is in shreds and Plan B is being implemented…
Glynn, Callinan (goals), Donohue, Smith, Hayes, and Hart.
He is going on form completely.
It leaves alot of options on the bench too I suppose.
Its now or never.
chewy louie
Who is going to line out midfield for Clare?? Ye could get slaughtered here.

Colm Galvin will be one, more than likely with Colin Ryan.
Will there be a 3rd ??
I think that either Tony Kelly or Podge Collins if not both will be roaming all over the place on Sunday. as I said the other week I would much rather a more robust hurler at midfield instead of Ryan but he won’t be dropped at this stage

Kinvara’s Passion, any idea what’s the story with Padraig Brehony? He ran rings around Tony Kelly and his buddies in the minor semi final in 2011, and was a star of that All Ireland winning team alongside Shane Maloney and Paul Kileen. I thought he’d be making a serious push for inclusion at senior level by now. Is he fond of the 
, or is he on the verge of disappearing down that same Black Hole of Galway hurling that has swallowed up the likes of Richie Cummins, Kerill Wade, John Lee and Conor Donovan, to name bit a few.
He was on the panel earlier in year anyway so I assume he is still there?
I am under the impression that a few of these fellas are being held back until next year…
The few you named above all had valid reasons for not making it… O’Donavan aside.
Kinvara’s Passion what was O’Donovans reason. The fucker beat Waterford on his own in the 92 minor final.
Pretty sure there was some falling out between Galway manager at the time… Ja cloonan and the O’Donovan clann. Conor also moved from Castlegar to Gort club around this time also… cant remember the exact details.
Ryan’s best position in your opinion?
[quote=“Julio Geordio, post: 805740, member: 332”]Galway should have 3 or 4 all Irelands won in the last ten years on paper.
If they click at all they’ll win it. They haven’t looked like clicking at any stage this year.
They need to put Joe in full, leave him there and just fuck it in to him.[/quote]
Ya those tactics have win in the past. Genetically Galway are disposed to shitting the pot and wavering from game plans.
Still Clare are over rated, and Galway are good against lighter opposition generally.
KK will win, a late couple if points from subs Fennelly and Shefflin to get them home barely.
Seanie Corcorans 1-3 from play had something to do with it as well. Paul Flynn still ended up with motm that day if memory serves correct.
Donaghoe at 3 and Coen at 6 is the plan for Sunday.

If we get good ball into the forwards then they can get the scores.I don’t think have we the strength in depth on the bench to finish the job off though.The footballers will have a comfortable win over Galway and if the hurlers give a good account of themselves then i’ll be happy enough.

Cork by 2.
Do former Galway players ever get sick of sticking the boot into the Galway hurling management, they are always at it
Stalwart Linnane livid over Galway’s lack of defensive clarity

ALL-IRELAND SHC QUARTER-FINAL:
Galway v Clare
Former Galway stalwart Sylvie Linnane has launched a scathing attack on manager Anthony Cunningham ahead of Sunday’s quarter-final clash with Clare.
In light of Galway’s Leinster final hammering, the three-time All-Ireland medal winner berated the management over their league and championship team selections this year.
During the spring, both Joseph Cooney and David Collins were experimented at centre-back, before Shave Kavanagh was given the nod for the county’s provincial opener against Laois, though virtually unproven.
“We don’t have a settled six backs and that is where we are in trouble,” fumed the Gort native.
“I don’t know really what they were doing during the league campaign, they haven’t got a settled six backs coming into the championship and I am very disappointed in that.
“How they are going to perform I don’t know.
“Nobody in Galway could pick the six backs at the moment. League is the time to settle your team for championship and we didn’t do that.”
Further up the field and Linnane is bemused at the consistent sideline instructions ordering sharpshooter Joe Canning away from goal, negating the team’s inside threat.
“Our most dangerous forward and one of the best in the country and he’s coming out around midfield, I can’t understand it, I don’t see the point in it, it beggars belief.
“I know if I was manager of a team going out you’d be quite happy to see him at midfield. He’s no threat out there.”
Cappataggle’s James Skehill, having recovered from shoulder surgery, is expected to continue between the sticks against Clare, but the former corner-back is adamant Galway’s number one shot stopper lies wasted in the stand.
“I think our best goalkeeper is Colm Callanan, I’ll stand over that. I have great admiration for any goalkeeper, but I think our best goalie is Colm.
“I didn’t like what happened last year, an injured goalkeeper was put out on the field of play in an All-Ireland final. He [Skehill] shouldn’t have been out.
“They [Clare] seem to be super fit this year, whereas we looked very sluggish that day in Croke Park. We started training very early this year in October.
“I don’t know what that a good idea. When they should be coming into form they are tired. They could have done with some time of, the body has to rest. It is only an amateur game,” he added
