What’s ailing Galway’s misfiring Joe?

We all appreciate the draw the Dublin footballers are, the hold they have in the psyche of Dublin supporters, but let’s be honest, having Dublin-Galway as a curtain-raiser yesterday was a joke. They’re both Division One teams. They were Leinster champions in 2012 and 2013.
With all respect to Longford, they’re a Division 4 side. Putting them on as the main event was an insult to the hurlers, especially Dublin.
