Poll: Should Anthony Cunningham resign as Galway senior hurling manager?

The Tribes boss has received a vote of no confidence from the county’s senior hurlers.

IT’S BEEN A chaotic few days for Galway hurling after news emerged of a vote of no-confidence from players in their manager, Anthony Cunningham.

The embattled boss met with county board chiefs last night and appears to have indicated his desire to remain in charge for a fifth successive season.

Former Galway star Pete Finnerty has expressed sympathy for his ex-teammate in a balanced reflection but admitted that Cunningham’s position is untenable.

Now, we want to know what you think.

Should Cunningham resign as Galway senior hurling boss?


Poll Results:

    I think travelling to Georgia will affect them. It’s a long journey. We have a chance.

    @Jane: It’s something Wales have been doing for a couple of years now as a bit of a joke, they deliberately take terrible team photos. Go back through all their qualifiers and you’ll see some with one player kneeling and the rest standing, and the opposite. Leaving gaps like that etc. No idea what it’s about.

    @Eanna Costello: I think they did one bad photo by mistake and just kept it going then for a laugh

    Seems like you guys think you have this in the bag already.

    To put some perspective here – Wales have lost 3 games since 2013 when Bale wasn’t playing. Two of those were friendlies when other players including Ramsey were also not available, and the other one was after we’d already qualified for the Euros.

    We haven’t lost a game since the 2016 Euros Semi final, we’ve kept a clean sheet for the last 3 games which we won, and tomorrow night we’re playing at home.

    So despite the dismissive remarks above, Wales may pull off a huge upset.

    @Saul Hamilton Evans: “not world beaters” “evenly matched” “we have a chance”. How is that us thinking its in the bag or dismissive of Wales? I think nearly all Irish fans thinks Wales are favourites but as said above, we go to Cardiff with a chance.
