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.

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 TobeaRossie: "Great to see a bit of nastiness and some 'dark arts' coming into this Roscommon team. Far too often down the years we have been beaten because we were too nice on the pitch, don't get that this year at all. Still work to do but yesterday was a very satisfying result." You'll win nothing being soft at this level. This was a fantastic result and importantly two wins in a row in The Hyde. Dowd and Co have done a great job. Can I just say fair play for organising the kids meet and greet too and thank you to the players for participating. Very important for the future and creates a lot of good will in the county.

Replying To Brendanj: "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.
Thats an outrageeous statement, do you seriouly think the decision on the football championship last Thursday night had an impact on the performance in Newry. Please give the players some respect, the 2026 club championship was the last thing on the last thing on their minds.
A lot of clown talk on here about the county board, keyboard warriors if you ask me. At the end of the end of the day the best team in each club championship will win. Like it or not the board are a product of the clubs, these positions are ultimately ratified by the clubs. The them and us argument is a moot point.
People lashing out will that the COE will not get built either, all pub talk if you ask me. We are where we are because as a county we lack the ambition and desire to be better, end of story." Hi Brendan, can you confirm whether or not Killucan had 4 votes (Club vote, Secretary, Assistant Treasurer and Minor Board Chairman), as suggested by a contributor here, at the meeting last Thursday night? The Executive Committee is made up of 22 persons, nearly half as many clubs in the entire County. Can you confirm how many were present to cast their vote? Enough to sway the vote anyway. If you think it's clown talk, you have your head in the sand. Clubs, players and supporters alike are absolutely sick to the teeth, the elephant in the room is the long awaited Centre of Excellence - where are we going to get the millions to build it? What progress has been made to date? Have we got planning permission yet or what's the latest story? Are we sitting on the coffers of €480,000 from one fundraiser and hoping some Chinese Tycoon might fancy us? The County Senior team could not get a pitch to train on last week before the Down game, can you believe that. What hope have our County Senior team if they can't get a pitch to train on? The weather is not an acceptable excuse at this level. The County players are representing their Clubs many of which have been shafted with the change of Championship structure. Matters off the pitch can have a profound impact on team morale. Do you understand the concept of a tiered Championship? I had a good laugh at your last sentence, "we are where we are because we lack the ambition and desire to be better" and you are standing up for the County Board? Chat later, Brendan.

Replying To Fit15: "It is what it is, a county team where two players Brannigan and O Hanlon would get on the county champions Scotstown team tells you where we are, never mind the injured players, realistically we are never going to win an all Ireland the best we can hope for is an ulster title and at the minute we're in with Cavan Antrim Fermanagh,and junior footballers is not the way forward no matter what the manager thinks,the good coach bounce lasts one year and then they see what we have and move on quick, and this is what we're left with now and sad to say but it could be a long road back to be even competitive when it matters, in the summer time" no way not having that...your saying woods, mcanespie, mohan, wylie and ward wouldnt get onto scotstown team?? nope - not having that
dessie ward would stroll onto every starting county team in the country assuming hes fit

Fair play to the lads on a powerful win yesterday. Under a lot of pressure and pulled out a very strong win to put us back in contention. Manager and players deserve the credit. I don't think we will be in the shakeup for promotion, but this year is about trying lads out and trying new things and getting a mix that works. Lots of positives from yesterday.

Replying To Commodore: "I wouldn't get too carried away with chat of League finals, Mayo were not at full strength and the elements was a factor that first half. We got Dublin on opening league match, they came back strong at us and a understrength Kerry side came back strong at us, as did Mayo yesterday. We have tough games against Armagh, Galway, Roscommon and Monaghan still ahead. I would expect at least 3 of those teams to present a more complete 70 minute performance and not allow us to get ahead at HT, which will be likely if we are fielding more inexperienced players in those games for long periods.
Mulreaney is really challenging for a starting place in the summer, in fact, I think Shaun Patton will be fighting now to get back in the team.
McCahill had a brilliant debut, definitely looks like a bright addition, both him and Shea Malone injecting energy into our attack. Defensively" Mulreanny has been a very capable deputy, is a good shot stopper and a threat from long range frees.
But the kick-out is the key attribute that a goalkeeper is measured by these days, and in that regard, I think Patton is still well ahead.

Replying To moros: "Good point. Mid field went AWOL second half. That old problem area is like a recurring boil for Ros!" Any further comments on your team with a lot of new faces winning against the odds and scoring 3-18 (27) while doing it?
Galway also beat Armagh when "Mid field went AWOL" Shooting efficiency and ability to get goals at the right time was key in the victories for both Galway and Roscommon against Armagh.

Makes for a very interesting game on Saturday night under lights in Salthill.
Galway 3-14 (23) Kerry 2-17 (23)
Roscommon 1-20 (23) Kerry 2-18 (24)
Galway 3-12 (21) Armagh 0-20
Roscommon 3-18 (27) Armagh 0-24
Not a whole lot to chose between the sides based on those four games against strong opposition. Both have a host of new faces blooded and both have the ability to score goals at important stages in games.
Last league meeting was a 0-9 each draw, wouldn't be surprised if another draw but obviously a lot more high scoring this time.

Replying To totalrecall: "A very disingenuous appraisal of a very good player, I wouldn't mind a player like him togging out for Donegal." Definitely unfair to call him a free kick merchant but I feel he has been over hyped. His biggest haul came against New York a couple of years ago. He probably looks a bit better given the rest of the Mayo forwards fall so short. Roarty marshalled him well yesterday and even outscored him from play.

Not sticking the knife in or anything just curious?" The latter, though some who want to stir things will argue the former.

Replying To Royaler89: "Very hard to see Louth getting anything out of their remaining games against Tyrone, Cavan, Derry and Kildare. I'd fear for Louth that they will be going to division three and playing tailteann cup football this year." Given they were a point ahead against Meath until the last kick, I wouldn't be so quick to write them off. Louth have shown plenty character and have some quality footballers. If anything, Kildare have been flakier and Cavan were far from impressive yesterday.
