Replying To OhtobeARossie: "Poor old wait I prefer poor old woman seanbeanbocht very good song by a lilly white. Doesn't surprise me you are a O hara supporter. Myself I hope his parking up the bus early. You of course are a true fan." Maybe people would like to see the Smith brothers and Sean Purcell and plenty more good lads win a county title. I was never oharas biggest fan but my God id love to see him win us a county title. Pearces and Brigid's are going to be tough stop dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1292 - 10/07/2025 07:28:42 2624747 Link

No true sports person would begrudge them one no matter who manages them. Problem is their lack of strength in depth. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2534 - 10/07/2025 09:31:18 2624759 Link

Paddy Tally is available alright. Would certainly tighten up the defence which is required to stay in D1 Jack L (None) - Posts: 3180 - 10/07/2025 15:51:07 ---------- Derry under Mickey Harte in conceded 14 points per game average as they topped the div 1 table. This year under Tally finished bottom of the Div 1 table and conceded 27 points per game average. Granted new rules and more scores conceded but that's some decline and doesn't back up your view he'd certainly tighten up the Roscommon defence. Anyway it's the other end that requires the most attention. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3712 - 10/07/2025 19:35:43 2624887 Link

Paddy Tally rumour doing the rounds.?? Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2534 - 11/07/2025 15:16:02 2624978 Link
Brigids laid down a marker in tonight's Div 1 league final, Nine points ahead at half time and kept Roscommon Gaels at arm's length 2nd half to win by 13 points. Apart from Ben O'Carroll (in America) they were basically full strength including new signing Conor Carroll in goal. Roscommon Gaels started without Peter Gillooly,Mark Healy and the Carthy Brothers didn't play they should give a better account of themselves once all are back for the championship.

Also I haven't seen or heard of Niall McInerney in a long time. I know he left roscommon because of studies and work commitments. What age is Niall now? He was a great player for us years ago. Probably 2018 he left or maybe before. If he's back with Brigid's playing senior football and starting be interesting to see how he gets on. How did he do last night dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1292 - 12/07/2025 05:52:20 2625037 Link
Eoin Jordan from Athlone to take Roscommon job. kerry4sam25 (Kerry) - Posts: 106 - 12/07/2025 08:46:48 2625040 Link
It might be "only th'oul League" but still a big statement by Brids last night. Paddy Nally ... his record with Derry wouldn't inspire confidence. As for the defence I think our failings v Cork and Meath were as much if not more in the forwards division? Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2534 - 12/07/2025 11:10:07 2625046 Link
Was interesting watching the contrast between how a lot of players played with the club v county . Brigids attacked with breakneck speed using runners from deep and mixed it using long direct ball to various options moving in and out. Kickout movement was serious one set play goal from one with a bullet to opp 65. rossie4sam (Roscommon) - Posts: 18 - 12/07/2025 12:43:20 2625058 Link
