Replying To Galway2001: "good team picked for today but shocking to think Mikey Mulryan isnt making the 26 he was our U20 captain and best player we had this year.
The hype is gone overdrive in Roscommon so hopefully we can capatalise on that
Gaillimg Abu" What hype? Galway are favourites with the bookies and punters. Majority of national media pundits has tipped Galway.
As for U20 player not making your 26 well none are on our 35 plus senior panel and we won U20 Connacht title.

I've said it numerous times on here Galway seriously lack pace in half back line and very few scores come from there most people who follow Galway football could have prib picked 13 of team that started last Oct no point in playing lads in league then gone Mcdonnagh second top score for Galway this year not even mske the 26 o connaghile had great game v Donegal in half forward line no game in fairness it was good game but looking forward 2/3 years Galway not producing top quality players have found no new forwards in best part 10 years would definitely have being good win 2 day but in reality most people know Galway not in with any real chance of all Ireland

The Ryan Roche selection was bizarre. He played a bit during then league but was usually subbed off. Then starts a Connacht final out of nowhere. Bar the early catch he had he was completely anonymous. Not having a go at the lad as he's young but I don't think management did him any favours today.

Replying To Pikeman96: "Why the "double standard"? Because one is run on a group basis, while the other is run on a "knockout with a back door" basis. Both formats as agreed at Congress, where all counties have a vote on it. It's really quite simple.
Anyway, as recently as last year, the same could have happened in football - a county could lose a provincial match, lose two more in the group stage of the Sam Maguire but go through in third place, and still go on to win the Sam Maguire despite having lost three times." As you say, groups were used for the last three years in football and the system was abandoned this year largely because of the incessant whinging about teams being able to lose three times. No such objection exists in the case of hurling even though Leinster teams can lose four matches. So definite double standards considering the same body deals with both structures.

A full forward can only play as well as the ball that's kicked into him. Roche's purpose was to field balls that were kicked in long. Galway decided to kick in one long ball to him which he caught and laid off for a goal. What more can he do in fairness to the young lad. Too much slow ball was played and it cost us, missed 2 pointers as well.

Replying To moros: "Can only imagine what owow and Blathach are thinking now. Give a county a bit of credit. It's a primrose and gold thing. Done it the hard way too. Love to all." Well done lads magnificent achievement to win all 3 Connacht titles, now ye should be looking at giving the all ireland a good run , ye have the players to trouble any team, those lads you refer to are wind up merchants looking for the rise probably not even from Leitrim . They certainly not representative of Leitrim supporters general views.

Congrats Roscommon, I hope you take this now and get a good run on the AI championship, a semi final at least and who knows after that. Fine performance, both teams will benefit from today's game and hopefully fly the flag for Connacht well into the AI series

Replying To giveitlong: "We don't just look aged, we are one of the oldest teams in Div 1." I usually keep a close eye on underage and there is not a lot coming through. No Connacht minor title since 2018. No Connacht U20 since 2020, We were lucky to get Thompson last year. Some good individual players at underage but not very many that look like potential senior stars. One or two will emerge but it's slim pickings. Eye has been off the ball at underage.

Very many congrats Rossies.
Wow - Roscommon become the first county in Connacht to make it a clean sweep of Senior, U20 and Minor Football Championship Titles in the same season.
What an achievement.... Excellent stuff. Well done.
Enjoy the celebrations.

Replying To ColmFlaherty: "Fair play Roscommon. Neither team deserved to lose IMO but ye were more clincial when it mattered" You can't really be conceding a whopping 3-21 in a football match, and claiming that you didn't deserve to lose.

Replying To richiepmurphy: "Who are the 5 teams who could win leinster? Technically yes, on planet realism 3 I'd say.
Any of 4 counties could win munster, bar waterford" On planet realism, it's beyond Clare 2026 surely, and realistically (which is the planet we're talking here), you wouldn't fancy Tipp 2026 either. Cork or Limerick will win Munster '26, that appears to be an inevitability now. The Leinster Final looks like Galway v KK/Dublin at this point. All bets off regarding who might win that out.
