Men against boys really, and we had a Leaving Cert student playing!

Replying To Claretandblue: "The new structure is far from perfect and it seems certain there will be further changes next year if Congress pushes All Ireland finals back, the idea that our previous structure was the envy of counties elsewhere, there were loads of championship matches last few years that were tame affairs, little of the cut and thrust associated with championship football. Shandonagh vs Tubberclair last year was a shocking advertisement for the championship." Our resident County Board man, will try put a positive spin on things when the reality is they have failed the players and Clubs time and time again. You have highlighted 1 game out of 70 + Championship games but they were not very many games last year that were dead rubber. I seem to remember all 6 teams in Section A of Senior having something to play for going into the last round, plenty of "cut and thrust" actually. If you're going to come up with a new structure, come up with a new structure that's completely fair to a tiered system. It is not as if Senior B teams were making their presence felt in the knockouts. For the last 3 years, the Senior semi finalists were made up of teams competing in Section A, except for The Downs in 2024. The decisions made to change the structures were definitely not evidence based, there is more to this than meets the eye. There was no appetite for change, the meeting at the Park Hotel should have been enough to confirm this but instead they ignore the Clubs and players and use their own votes to push through with it, it's called executive aggrandizement. This scandal further demonstrates the growing disconnect between the Board and the Clubs. It obviously dictated the mood on the team bus going to Newry yesterday going by the first half performance. It was foolish thinking we were going to see a better future for Westmeath football with the change of leadership, going nowhere fast with this Circus.

The thing I liked with McGrath in goal in the second half is twice the ball dropped short into his hands and immediately he played a nice kick pass to get the attack going. Particularly the Tony Brosnan shot that dropped short. He pinged a lovely ball 40 yards out to his left on to the chest and we were gone up the field, bypassing a bunch of the Kerry players who were inside the 45.

I don't really understand what improvements people are seeing with Eamon McGrath in goal. The kick outs were still long and predictable, frees were missed, and he didn't handle a crucial high ball which led to a goal. At this stage it feels like it's "anyone but Gleeson", which is hard to take when he was the goalkeeper in two All-Ireland finals. McGrath seems to be getting praised for things Gleeson gets ridiculed for.

Replying To jm25: "No doubt looking at tonight gleeson is the problem with kickouts bringing ball out and long range frees" If he was playing Gleeson may not have made the error McGrath made for the 2nd goal but he has made plenty of errors like that over the years and been picked the following week by Joyce.
McGrath showed in both halves that has better accuracy and variety than Gleeson and he deserves another chance next week. Kicked a brilliant ball out of his hands that started the move for Oisin McDonagh's 2 pointer. If he gets the same chance and backing that Gleeson got over the last 6 years he will be a very good keeper.

Armagh looked to play on the edge today, a lot of late hits on Roscommon players going by the highlights. Was it like that at the game or TV showing it up worse than it was?

Replying To Alwaysencourage: "Cappagh park" Cappagh park would be ideal.
They tried that!
It's owned by the council. They weren't even allowed to put a fence around it or erect nets behind the goals.
Next??

Great result, 2nd in table.
What a first half, can anyone remember a better half by any Ros team?
Loved Mark Dowd's interview after, so level headed," its just Round 3 of the NFL".

Replying To Fionn: "Did I name players - I said the Squad....
Were you at the game last night.? We were terrible. Monaghan the worst team in Division 1 should have beaten us.
If you think we can beat Kerry next week... Really.??? I would be more than shocked...!
Do you reckon kerry are gonna come with an under strength team to play the Dubs in Croker ???
Have you seen the quality of some of the teams in Division 2. Clearly not...
At present I would put Tyrone, Derry and Meath ahead of us.
This Dublin squad at present is Division 2 standard.
We have one stand out player CON.
There is very little left in the tank of the players who have won it all for us.
It is what it is....." Yes I was at game and yes we were lucky.Monaghan could have scored a few goals but I think with the win under our belt we can drive on.I honestly think we will up our game for Kerry and if Ger selects the right team we can win.No one gave us a chance last year and we done them in their backyard.
IKerry can win but so can we.I wont be shocked either way.

That is a great showing from Longford today, away from home, in very challenging conditions. Up to 2nd now, with some much tougher opponents to come. However, regardless if promotion isnt attained, it would be great to see a fighting spirit from the young squad between now and the final game and providing competitive opposition at the very least. Lots being learned from this campaign it seems, which can only be a good thing going forward.

Replying To ahsure.: "Donegal not even in second gear and blew Mayo away with minimal fuss. Ye are motoring well lads
Question - why the 2 min delay in letting kids on the pitch today? To get the players off?" Donegal seem to be further down the road with Championship preparations than Mayo. I wouldn't read too much into that match as Mayo will be a different team later in the year. Mayo do however need a few forwards. Some poor wides.
The 2 minute delay was for both teams to shake hands after the match before letting the children onto the field as announced at halftime.

Keep the flag flying no matter what , that day in May last summer made up for all the countless hammerings we had !
