Joyce: God knows when we’ll be back again

Padraic Joyce has given a damning assessment of Galway football following their latest humiliating back door defeat.

Joyce believes there is a huge gap between where people think Galway should be and where they actually stand in the pecking order.

“There is a perception that Galway should be up there because they are a big county, but you have to earn the right to be up there with the Corks, Dublins, Kerrys and Tyrones, teams who have done it,” said Joyce, in the wake of Saturday’s shock loss to Antrim at Casement Park. “We haven’t done it consistently. We’ll come with a spell and we’ll go, and we’ll come back in a couple of years time. God knows when we’ll be back again.”
