Things looking bleak in Galway and Meath

WATCHING Kerry and Galway from the terraces in Killarney last Sunday wouldn’t have been anyone’s idea of an afternoon’s entertainment.

Colm Cooper’s performance aside, we were treated to one of the most unremarkable football games in recent memory between the two sides.

As the mind drifted, I recalled some of the more memorable clashes between the two teams during the last decade and afterwards I overheard two Galway supporters dropping anchor in that last refuge of the defeated — the pity lounge.
