Replying To The_analyser: "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." Ben O'Carroll got turned over for the Dublin goal. He's a talented player from our U20 team of 2021 but I don't think he's strong enough yet for senior inter county football against the big boys. Donie Smith had a poor game up front missing a number of chances he'd normally take and that cost Roscommon. We needed to take all our chances or nearly all to see off the Dubs in Croker which is no easy task. Even our great team of the late 1970s couldn't do it. Davy Burke and his management team have brought a professional edge to this team and it's great to see it. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2154 - 29/05/2023 17:35:18 2482683 Link

Well considering how clueless Colm Cooper is about gaelic football aren't we lucky to have your esteemed self here on the HS to put the Gooch and Cavanagh in their place, enough said. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 673 - 29/05/2023 17:50:00 2482695 Link
Replying To sligo joe: "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." Do you have no opinions of your own? Where were you before the game predicting that Dublin wouldn't have an easy game? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7324 - 29/05/2023 17:55:26 2482699 Link
Sligo lads on a windup should be ignored. Equally time to move on from Sunday which will count for nothing if the team don't follow it up with 2 more group wins. Last time we drew in CP was Mayo and in the words of one pundit spent the week doing high fives and got stuffed in the replay.

I see a lot of leinster rivals online making excuses for the Dubs, is this because Roscommon getting a result shows up how poor Leinster rivals have been for the past 10 years? brisbane (Galway) - Posts: 674 - 29/05/2023 20:50:25 2482744 Link

Replying To sourmilk93: "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" Just watched the video, ref raises his hand for advantage just as McCarthy is dragged to the ground on the edge of the small square, so if no goal penalty and black card. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 673 - 30/05/2023 12:28:49 2482850 Link

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "What are you on about with regards to the ref…? I never knew Roscommon was in Ulster…?

If that was the case i have my doubt, no certainty the Peno would have been scored instead ref allowed him throw the ball rugby style, That added to the blatant free out we should have got for the jersey pull i dont think Dublin can have any complaints on the ref, Got more than went against you. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1142 - 30/05/2023 14:00:12 2482892 Link

Canavan and Whelan are very good and know their stuff but Cavanagh and the Gooch are very poor for fellas who are only recently retired. Clueless on teams outside of Dublin, Kerry, Mayo and Tyrone as well. MachaireConnacht (Roscommon) - Posts: 760 - 30/05/2023 14:12:59 2482897 Link
Looking forward to Sunday now. We won't get anything easy against Sligo as we know over the years. Need to get off to a good start Sunday and hopefully all players are fit for weekend. We had a lot of tired bodies during second half. Should be a good game with a good crowd. Probably expecting 10 thousand or more dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1042 - 30/05/2023 14:41:58 2482920 Link

True he released the ball rugby style as he was tackled rugby style. As the ref was playing advantage (quite clearly from video for the drag down on McCarthy) the correct decision would be to disallow the goal, award a penalty and black for the offending Roscommon player. You stated the ref was playing a free advantage for an earlier infringement, clearly not so from the video. The referee only raises his hand to indicate advantage as McCarthy is being fouled and also there is no earlier infringement. Please review the video before digging any deeper sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 673 - 30/05/2023 14:47:28 2482924 Link

Fantastic players they were truly awful pundits they are. They have been showed up lots for their poor understanding of the rules of the game and basic lack of research into a lot of what they say on the Sunday game. That's factual information than anything to do with my esteemed self. smallfrank (Galway) - you can't not put your hand in on a player when they are in the motion of shooting. U12s are coached that.

Surely you accept that the rules and how they are applied are two different things. Smallfrank is right about the rules, indeed as per the rules a player cannot put his hand on an opposition player at any time. The only legitimate contact between players is shoulder to shoulder, so if that was applied we would literally have hundreds of frees on and off the ball. Conor Cox took a dive on Sunday and should have been ignored. I can understand Rossies defending the free being given but if it wasn't awarded no one would have complained. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 673 - 31/05/2023 11:31:07 2483116 Link
