I don’t think meehawl even fancies him at 6 anymore
The 1980 aif was my most wondrous non competing sporting moment. Second was beating Leitrim by a point in Leitrim in about 1994 when it’s reckoned only 50 galway supporters were there (just about the best day I ever had, eight of us went, including, bizarrely, Harry Mcgee.)

95 surely? I was at the tyrone semi then, there was 53 galway supporters

That was enjoyable for myself, less so for the players.
I was at the tyrone semi as well. Half time killed us. First and probably last time I encountered a properly thuggish supporters element at a GAA match.
I think the appropriate adjective would be a lot stronger than ‘good’.

Martin Breheny knows as much about hurling as a camel knows about Mullingar.

Am not knocking those players anything like as much as making a point that 21st century hurling is not a parade of skillsters. You still have a mixture of candidates.
SK: decent enough but markedly onesided – and therefore quite often runs in a wrong line to the ball so as to control it in a way that favours his stronger side.

Would conneely not get a nod in goal?
That’d be close to mine, though I’m not sure I’d have kerins in tbh, or lynskey, though he’d be good for “team morale”
No Sylvie??
I’d push Iggy into midfield for Malone to make room for Finnerty or Mannion for starters, Galway is a tough one
Sylvie almost killed a few Loughrea lads, lads from East Galway hate him.
Kerins was class. Always good for 4 or 5 points from play in Croke Park. Lynskey there to dig the opposition centre back.
