Replying To bloodandbandage: "That's because you don't understand it! and I must say it's ironic that a Donegal man references boring when your own county was front and center in contributing to the absolute dross football had become!" What Jim done first time round was build a defence and train the complacency out of our boys in 2011, we were hardly playing bad football in 2012 or 2014, he has us playing great football again now.
The 2011 thing was taken completely out of context mostly by people jealous of what he achieved, he took a team ranked 19th in Ireland and won 2 Ulsters and an All Ireland in his first 2 seasons,
lesser managers copied and mostly failed with his approach with club and county, that's what really dragged football down.
anyway Tyrone and others were playing blanket defence long before we did.
I have tried to enjoy hurling but it just isn't enjoyable for me to watch,
different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Replying To tirconaillabu: "I don't know if it is the exception, never seen worse winners than the mayo fans in 13, before that I would have had a soft spot for them not anymore" Still recall fans hitting me on the back at that game in the seats behind me when Mayo scored some of their goals. I got up and left before I took the law into my own hands. Then outside a train station I had a heavy older lad roar at me waving his fists about the Mayo win, I reminded him they usually can't finish the deal in finals and he started roaring all sorts of expletives at me. The whole ordeal was fairly shocking that day. Compared to Galway supporters last year who I found first class.

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "There would be no need for a request from Roscommon if the GAA were doing their job right in the first place and having adequate time between League finals and the start of the Championship… but alas they have no foresight or brains when it comes to these things… A pityfully poor run sporting organisation….!!!" It's truly great how you have all the answers. Have you ever stood for office yourself so that you can work towards putting them into practice and the entire Association can benefit from your wisdom?

Replying To EireOgAbu: "Delighted to see the players issue a statement. Hopefully it will be reported by the media as quickly as some of the speculation & lies were." RTE have covered the players statement. Fair play to the players there's been enough bs and bluster from the other side.

Hurling only taken seriously in 7/8 counties. The rest of the country are more football focused.
The minority who like hurling cant accept that the majority of the country have no real interest in hurling

Replying To farneygael3: "For a monaghan person that's a strange comment, are you not travelling to watch?" Defending the Donegal PRO doesn't make me the Donegal PRO. I doubt she has an account here. I'm just amazed at someone from Monaghan coming here to make a show of themselves, but you're not the first!

Replying To Viking66: "Collins is only 22. Lads wouldn't be fully developed until they are 25/26. Look at David Reidy, both of them actually, the Caseys, Mossey, Cian Kenny has really built himself up the last couple of years also." Very true. Some people were doubting that Kevin Cooney would make it at inter-county level when he was Collins's age and now he is one of our regulars and considered a loss if not playing. Personally I dont think there's much between Collins and some, even all,of the others that have been said here to be ahead of him in the queue. Also I've seen Collins play with his club and he has given a torrid time and got the better of some of our current inter-county defenders in the club championship.

Replying To ComainRos: "Is Niall Daly injured or is he just not making the squad? Thought his experience would be needed especially in defense where we are struggling. Conor Daly was a big loss to the panel this year too I feel. He would have been an ideal full back and bring a bit of steel and aggression to the team also. Best of luck to the U17's this evening and to the senior team tomorrow. Be great to beat a very decent Monaghan side in Croker and most importantly that we produce a really good and improved performance from last Sunday. Ros Comáin abú" Wins by u 20s Wednesday and Minors tonight.
Over to ye Seniors...... make it 3 out of 3

To answer the above Niall Daly is injured.
Good win for our U17s in Tuam stadium this evening. Having led by three at half time I'd wondered would it be enough having played with the wind but the lads really put in the work 2nd half to secure a 0-15 to 0-12 win and all the more impressive when we played the final 10 minutes with 14 men due to a black.
Good competitive contest between to well coached teams. Two wins from two for us with Mayo (H) Leitrim (A) to play.

Wow, I hope the players and the backroom team don't share similar sentiments to what has been expressed here and don't just view this game as a "challenge" match.
This time last year, I doubted our ability to survive in Division 2 and here we are after topping the table going out to play the final in Croke Park tomorrow evening and yet people are viewing this as something not worthy of recognition.
Do we not want to foster a winning mentality within the county?Do we not want to win all games especially finals?
I hope we go hell for leather tomorrow evening and the lads get the victory they deserve.

Good 3 point win by the Roscommon minors tonight over Galway in Tuam. Mature performance by the team who fully deserved their win. Galway "shot themselves in the foot" a little bit by their frequent indiscipline. (Ball being brought forward by 50 mts)
Hannon and Curran played particularly well but it was very much a team performance including a double save by the goalkeeper Cian Trimble in the second half.
Great week so far for the Rossies with the minors and under 20's both winning. Hopefully the seniors will keep the run going on Saturday night.

Just leaving tuam and we have a great minor team there. The organisation hunger skill levels are brilliant. I have heard great things about Shane Moran from a few roscommon gaels lads and it looks to be true. Extremely impressed from my first time viewing this team in person. Again brown looks unbelievably good and Curran is a joy to watch. Everyone today looked good. These boys could go far with the management they have. Is Shane Moran originally from roscommon gaels.

Different Jerseys For Different Codes - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Onion Breath: "Offaly did it in the 1980's. They regularly played Kerry who they clashed with so their footballers wore a mainly white kit and when they beat Kerry in 82 they kept wearing it from then on regardless of who they were playing for all football matches. I'd say it was nearly the 1990's before they switched back to their traditional jersey. Their hurlers never changed so there was a long period when each wore very different jersey designs." A great period for the faithful county, good to see green shoots in both codes there in recent years.
