Fair play to roscommon yesterday and really should Ave won. It was great to see plenty of us galway fans hang round and cheer on our neighbours Dunmore10 (Galway) - Posts: 120 - 29/05/2023 10:50:24 2482484 Link 1 |

I would think that they were told it was last play, probably an element of fear that if it dropped short or mishit off ground, Dublin would get the chance to counter. It was a long way out, maybe if Eddie Nolan was still on the pitch he might have had a cut at it.

I would agree with your comments and add that the umpire / Ref missed a very obvious penalty with a high ball at the goal line in fourth quarter. The umpire had to step back at at the same time as the Dublin defender put his two arms around the Roscommon players body and pulled him to the ground- it also shows the type of analysis that we get on RTE and again during the commentary on GoGo when this type of incident is ignored. Dublin being a great team with very good experienced footballers are very good at fouling and not getting caught and I do not blame them for that, but its a pity that Refs cannot see those incidents. On the match I thought the Ref better did a better job than most of what I have seen all year.

Nope. The umpires do not call for fouls. Nothing has changed in that regard Since Joe Sheridan threw the ball into the Louth net in the Leinster Finall years ago. The umpires can only give their opinion when the referee asks them for it. Totally bonkers. Yet if there's stuff going on off the ball the umpire can call in the referee

Taking frees wouldn't be a strong point of Conor Carrolls, took a few in the league and FBD this year without scoring. Conor Cox scored from that distance from his hands against Mayo in the league but more often than not its a free that should be kicked off the ground. Our best place kickers on the panel are Eddie Nolan who was subbed off at the time and Shane Cunnane who wasn't introduced.

A lot of posts on here from Meath, Galway, Tyrone calling the Rossies unlucky here, there and everywhere during the game. Strange no mention of the last equalising score for Roscommon when the Ref gave a 14m free straight in front of the goal after Conor Cox made a b**ls of a shooting attempt and then promptly threw himself on his ass. I suppose that was unlucky maybe ye think it should have been a penalty. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 677 - 29/05/2023 13:52:18 2482562 Link 1 |

There was a slight tug of Conor Cox's arm, which warrants a free where the ball landed. Granted he exaggerated it with a dramatic dive, but a free nonetheless. Dublin have got many softer ones over the years.

Pulling the arm no matter how lightly is always asking for a free against you. Every underage player in the country knows that. No excuse for an intercounty player.

What about Dublins last free where Conor Daly was fouled coming out as clear as day jersey pull? And the Cox free was a free all day, Was braindead of the Dubs defender pulling coxs arm when he was mid shot. The Dublin Goal was also a throw ball and the ref had blown for a free(not a Peno) and changed his mind to give the goal, Should have been brought back. Kildare ref kept Dublin in the game sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 29/05/2023 14:36:12 2482595 Link 4 |

Hope no knocks now for next weekend and team can recover for Sligo. Looking at the forecast it's going to be another hot weekend so conditions will take it's toll as the game goes on. Sligo will be throwing everything at this game and I'd imagine it'll be in front of a packed house. Would ye like to see similar team to the one that started yesterday?

A hand in like that while someone is in the act of shooting will typically be a free. In the build up in two of Dublin's late points should have been frees out to Roscommon, one a clear pull of a Roscommon jersey and the other the ball taken clearly off the ground by Dublin player, them the breaks. For me I'd be looking more at errors we made as to why we didn't win yesterday. The goal and handful of points came cheap turnovers, nothing about luck there just the room of improvement we have to make moving forward.

Cox seems to have done ok after being introduced at the 64 minute mark. Report of game: "Conor Cox made his mark with a free and winning another that Donie Smith slotted.." Gaa Fan (USA) - Posts: 749 - 29/05/2023 15:39:11 2482637 Link 0 |

Look if that free was at the other end there would be hell to play. Gooch last night said no free and Cox's dive was disappointing, Cavanagh said the ref saw an excuse for an equaliser and that's all he needed! Rossies scored 6 from frees, Dubs 2, doesn't prove anything but does indicate the officials did not treat the Rossies too badly. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 677 - 29/05/2023 15:40:40 2482639 Link 1 |

Who cares what Gooch and Cavanagh think, they're not posting here. Cox was smart buying the free. Dublin were, for some reason, unbackable favourites yesterday. Lucky to get a draw in the end at home. Nowhere near the level of the great 6 in a row team. Need to improve a lot for knockout stages.

Ye played well yesterday lads, shame ye couldn't close it out but a draw against the Dubs on their home ground is no mean feet. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 29/05/2023 16:02:12 2482649 Link 0 |

A draw was fair. The analysts skipped the one where a Roscommon defender had Jersey tugged and free was given against him. Dublin had a tap over. Analysis on RTE is just "confirmation bias." They pick the bits to justify a particular narrative. Roscommon will improve after this. Connacht teams are going well. When teams like Kilkenny or Kerry, Dublin, win titles everything is just peachy in the world of analysis. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1669 - 29/05/2023 16:09:02 2482651 Link 4 |

You boys going to whip us this weekend ? Interesting to see if you change tactics and go at Sligo early. If it's Roscommon keep ball then I'd rather not watch. Makes for a boring game. Roscommon have ability to take us by 10 points plus but if they go the Dublin game plan it could end up Like Sligo Kildare game and then squeaky bum time for the Rossies. Either way hope it's a competitive game. Up the west thedreamer (Sligo) - Posts: 52 - 29/05/2023 16:26:40 2482658 Link 1 |

Thpught the same myself. Last free (i think) for Ros was no free. Also I thought a black should have been given for a blatant trip on Costello. I also don't believe a ref from the same province as the team playing should be allowed ref.

So only H.S posters opinions can be referenced here, apologies I didn't know that, or would it be that pundits opinions don't matter if they don't feed into your narrative.

Hell to play? It's a foul no matter whatever end of the field it's done, Gooch and Cavanagh prove themselves to be pretty clueless nothing new from that show. We were more disciplined in our tackling than Dublin.
