The maroon tracksuit had already been replaced with a denim shirt and trousers by the time Padraic Joyce made his way in to the GAA Museum to give his thoughts on an utterly disappointing performance and All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Meath.

On the walls around him were framed, enlarged posters of past deciders. His own Galway team had appeared in two in recent years and, if they only fell one point shy here, then it felt like they were a million miles off the mark too.
