On a seperate note, well done to the hurlers and Ladies Footballers on a good wins Sunday.
The Ladies have become like the men in the league, constantly up and down, so I'd imagine promotion and winning Division 3 is the bare minimum for them. Time for them really to start establishing themselves as a Division 2 team. Their performances in that division in recent years shows they are capable of that.
As for the hurlers, a great win that should them in a strong position for promotion, given there is only one other Christy Ring side left to play. That win Sunday should give great hope of being able to compete and survive in Christy Ring this year, given fears we could be lambs for the slaughter.
Just one last thing on the hurlers and maybe a poster from a hurling club could answer this. Why is there once again a poor representation of our clubs on the hurling team and a lot of outsiders again. Barely any players from Gaels, Doms, Oran & Tremane. Wasn't this an issue before with previous management and was a large factor in one manager getting the boot in mid February?
Replying To eoinog: "I don't ever remember coming on this forum and stiring the pot. If I wanted to stir the pot I would have said it was a Kerry free 100% but I actually said it was never a free, and I also said that the clock on the TV didn't restart soon enough when the free was kicked in. I still say it wasn't a square ball."
The hooter decision il live with and the free that probably should have went to roscommon il live with it but my god saying that wasn't a square ball is crazy.

We will have to agree to disagree on the square ball but one question no Rossie poster is asking is how did we let a rookie catch the ball cleanly, turn around and punch it over the bar. If the shoe was on the other foot do you think a Rossie forward would be allowed do the same thing with only seconds remaining?

Yeah, great come-from-behind win for the hurlers. The 'outside' players was an issue in Longford previously too but less so this season (so far).

I am from Kerry and I agree it was a square ball.Goal should not have been allowed. Bad decisions went both ways though. Kerry s keeper was penalised for a slow kickout and a handy point resulted for Roscommon. The Rossies keeper was as slow on other occasions and no free awarded. Tomas Kennedy had a perfect point waved wide in first half and the ref penalised Mike Breen of Kerry for not handing back the ball on the wrong and it cost us another two points. Decisions work both ways. The hooter point was fine but in the interest of fairness the free was very soft and could have gone the other way too.
