@SRFC_Analysis Any idea if Mata will be back this week or is he still out?

Kenny has cited over the winter an added focus on trying to strengthen his side physically which is an area he found they were behind in Additions up front from down under in Edmondson and former Sligo player Max Mata and also ex hoop and league winner Darragh Nugent

Let’s take a look into our opponents for tomorrow night St Patrick’s Athletic Managed ex Rovers manager and former Ireland boss Stephen Kenny 🧵

@SeanOCSport @IndoSport Any idea how long Max Mata could be out?

🚨Teams in for Bohs v St Pats 5 debuts for Bohs, Senan Mullen, Darragh Power, Sam Todd, Harry Vaughan and Patrick Hickey start. Douglas James-Taylor misses out Just 1 debut for Saints as Ryan Edmondson leads line with Aidan Keena, Max Mata injured, Forrester on bench @IndoSport

@DarraghOBrienTD can anything be done to incentivize airlines to use Shannon more? I am sick to the teeth of driving to Dublin for work trips and I contribute to the traffic problems in Dublin when I shouldn't have to.

@bobbyburns99 @GalwayUnitedFC Really disappointed but best of luck, Bobby.

After a great 18 months I have decided to leave @GalwayUnitedFC ⚽️🙌🏻 It was a very difficult decision for me to turn down a multi year contract offer at a club where I have so many good friends and in a city I love. (1/2)

@o_reachtaire Yeah, I'd imagine the loss of Ollie is the main driver. He transformed the team. From all accounts, it seems like he was incredible to play for. Can't imagine players being willing to stick around for regressive play.

@Rorymon Its obvious that things went to absolute shit when Ollie took a step back and then passed away. The amount of departures is not normal even for a relegated team. We have to bring in at least 12/13 players now and JC is fucking awful at recruiting players

What the fuck is going on? That is ten players gone now and at least one more is definitely gone

@sean_tougher Disagree. I think he can do well for Bohs.

Will be absolutely lost in any system that isn’t Galway-like imo. Like most of the Galway players in fairness 🤣

@OTT_wrestling any word on Loco Rumble yet? I will settle for just a rough idea of when you will announce the date. Want to try to avoid committing to work travel in early Feb/late Jan until I know when its on. Thanks!

@TallPau1 I heard some chatter that there may be an event in the west midlands next year. It might make the travel a bit easier for you. Hope to meet in 2026!

@Numecent @eucforumuk @Rorymon Would have been great to meet you in person.. next time !

We're at @eucforumuk in London today! Here's a taste of what's new from @Rorymon including AI Packaging, #Intune Storefronts, support for Windows on Arm, & Incremental Workpod rollouts. Swing by our booth to see how containers ensure ANY app can deploy to ALL Windows endpoints.

@pmtreacy @seidodge I thought he did alright, in general...seemed to miss a handball by Waterford in the box in the first half, though.

@seidodge Can confirm after an evening in the RSC that McLoughlin is still terrible. How he’s so highly rated I have no idea.

BTW if you want to know who the 5 highest rated LOI refs are, they’re the 5 with games today: Norton, Hennessy, Harvey, McLaughlin and Doyle (Go ahead, have your say about standards)

@o_reachtaire I wonder if someone like Brendan Clarke is interested in pursuing management. Seems like a leader and is well respected in the league. Tommy Barrett seems to work miracles for Treaty with feck all backing. Wonder how he could do with resources.

@Rorymon I have no faith in Daly

Awful season for Galway United. We are going to lose about yen players but hopefully we lose Caulfield. We are favourites to go down next season. But its in our DNA unfortunately

@declanvarley @GalwayUnitedFC The entire second half of the season had a feeling of sadness. I can only imagine how much it impacted the players and staff. Glad its over and there is another Premier Division season ahead.

Survival in Premier Division crucial for @GalwayUnitedFC project. We reset and go again in Spring. What a traumatic season. Their endeavour a tribute to Ollie.

@OTT_wrestling I don't really care about an independent wrestling company using AI of generating graphic but come 'ere to me, any idea when the Loco Rumble will take place next year? I would like to make sure I don't commit to work travel during it.

Endgame Dec 27th KFRC Dublin 🎟️🎟️TICKETS🎟️🎟️ universe.com/events/over-th…

@shteaney Wearing underwear is now pointless because of AI. Let it all hang out lads and ladies!

Yes, every other European country is wrong. Dermot Desmond, with his erudite knowledge of AI, reckons it's pointless. Better call it off

@GalwayUnitedFC @cellularfitness Looks like the ticketing on the site is setup with an assumption that it is in Terryland

🚨 Don't forget we're at Moyne Villa on Saturday as we take on Cork City in the All-Island Cup at 5PM 🏆 We need your support for the last group stage game, get your tickets here 👉 galwayunitedfc.ie/match-tickets/ #ItsATribalThing | #GUFC2025 | #UnitedAsOne | Partners: @cellularfitness

@Iancampbell1967 @GalwayUnitedFC They are miracle workers. I am out in Kinvara. It has been relentless here. I drove to Headford and back this morning, there were spots with massive puddles.

@Rorymon @GalwayUnitedFC I’ve heard from the stadium manager there are a few spots that can be dealt with later and the weather is improving.

@GalwayUnitedFC how is the pitch looking? is there any inspection scheduled? It has been horrendous rain all day.

@Davidluke1969 @VinnyGUFC @GalwayUnitedFC @sligorovers To be fair, I likely would have paid full price for the kids, if the club bothered to respond to my question. The home of connacht soccer is apparently not all that well run. 🤷‍♂️

@VinnyGUFC @Rorymon @GalwayUnitedFC @sligorovers Don’t talk absolute rubbish. As with every game there are a certain amount of child tickets for away fans. The fact you didn’t get one is your problem. Ye shouldn’t be moaning about paying for attending the home of Connacht football. ⚪️🔴⚪️🔴.

@GalwayUnitedFC do you know if U12s can get into the @sligorovers match with adult tickets? I assume so but figure better to check beforehand. Thanks.

@GalwayUtdZone I am hopeful for 2-0 too but I wouldn't say Sligo are poor. Hoping their injuries over the last couple of weeks slow them down a bit.

MATCHDAY 9: SLIGO (A) First Connacht Derby of the season, we should be aiming for a win here against a poor side, I’m going for a 2-0 win, Hickey and Esua with the goals! Predictions United fans? 🇱🇻 👀 ⬇️
