Ger Loughnane jibe a sore point for Galway

All Star Galway goalkeeper Colm Callanan has questioned how an apparently gutless team could reach two of the last four All-Ireland hurling finals.

Callanan, speaking just 72 hours out from their make or break All-Ireland quarter-final showdown with Clare, was responding to the withering criticism of the team by pundit Ger Loughnane.

Former Clare and, ironically, Galway manager Loughnane claimed in the wake of Galway’s Leinster final defeat to Kilkenny that the Tribesmen “are made of absolutely nothing. You can forget about this Galway team — they have no guts whatsoever”.
