Shane HannonHOST
So it's a big decision.
Shane HannonHOST
Kevin Walsh is another name that has come up, and obviously poor Joyce took over from him seven years ago, but he has probably even increased his own reputation since with Cork, and maybe he comes back.

Tommy RooneyCORRESPONDENT
They felt like they were the ones that were on the precipice of winning an All-Ireland.
Tommy RooneyCORRESPONDENT
And Pádraig Joyce as a player, as a kid, was part of a team that John O'Mahony came in and Galway won that All-Ireland pretty much from nowhere.
Tommy RooneyCORRESPONDENT
And we all know it from a year till Sunday and how glorious that team was.
Tommy RooneyCORRESPONDENT

Johnny WardGUEST
But all we talked about was Galway, um, football in 1995.
Johnny WardGUEST
Fast-forward to 1998, John O'Mahony comes in, and I'm 15 years of age.
Johnny WardGUEST
I'm doing the Junior Cert.
Johnny WardGUEST
I remember distinctly, um, and I'm not proud to ad- admit this, in Carrick-on-Shannon, having three pints of Bulmers, probably the first time I've ever really had a drink.
Johnny WardGUEST

Johnny WardGUEST

Galway actually could be something this year.

Tommy RooneyHOST
very well said Paddy the late John O'Mahony and the late Paul Clancy were both remembered as the Galway 98 Jubilee team were remembered and right now as you can hear the rowers the Kerry footballers and the Mayo footballers are walking towards us right now if you're in a car or you have a headpiece in and you're listening in Luke Dorn the Heron Catherine Connolly is about to stroll out with Luke Dorn come on Luke Claskale Jarlett Burns and they're going to go around and shake the hands of the players from both sides the Airtame band are ready they're prepped they're going to bring us around the stadium and that's when you hear the crescendo of noise build up James O'Donoghue we mentioned number 40 we mentioned back to back great teams need to go back to back to secure themselves as great teams we know Jack O'Connor's illustrious record he needs to win one more to join Jim Gavin on six All-Ireland titles all Mayo wants is to win just one stuff
James O'DonoghueHOST
Yeah, it's mad the difference, but I mean, I think you're right.
