Thought it wasn't injury related but not playing tonight it's now clear Ben O'Carroll is injured and probably won't play v Dublin at the weekend. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3757 - 14/02/2024 21:00:06 2526112 Link 0 |

While both Canavan brothers played exceptionally well for Ulster University tonight with Darragh winning man of the match, not sure what Daire Cregg could have done extra after kicking 9 points. What a performance. Roscommon has a gem of a player. Congratulations to Ulster University tonight winning by a clear 6 points. The match however, was closer than that. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 507 - 14/02/2024 21:10:46 2526113 Link 0 |

Two Canavans and Cregg were outstanding.. I had Cregg down for 11 points tonight but it was 10 he got I think. Cregg is a seriously gifted footballer reminds me of Shane Walsh at times. He's a joy to watch in full flow. Shame Ben was injured and it will be hard compete with the dubs without him as an outlet on Saturday. Our more experienced players need to up their game for Saturday or it will be a long evening for them dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1057 - 14/02/2024 22:10:29 2526123 Link 0 |

Like Ciarian Murtagh, Richard Hughes, Cian McKeon, Conor Daly he opted out due to overseas travels.

That went under the radar a bit. We are seriously light at midfield at the moment.

Unless I missed it don't think the local or national media reported on his departure. We are light all over and the mini break has resulted in more injuries on top of a lot of injuries we already had. The published team may confirm it or more likely wait until Saturday before throw in with the "late changes" Fingers crossed we can still produce a competitive display on Saturday night with 20 plus available for selection.

I see Daire Cregg is trending on twitter. Outstanding for UCD last night. Great to see. Ben O'Carroll missing for UCD last night and he's also out of the Dublin match according to the Irish Independent quoting the Roscommon Herald. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2164 - 15/02/2024 18:28:16 2526249 Link 0 |

Team named and again probably a change or two before throw in The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3757 - 16/02/2024 20:43:58 2526413 Link 1 |

Keith Doyle injured as well! We've taken a serious hammering over the past few weeks on the injury front. Great to see Hussey back. Best of luck to the team and management.

3 Brigid's lads named to start and Ben O'Carroll injured. It'll be interesting to see Shane Cunnane at midfield. Dublin need the points here having lost their opening two games. Let's hope for a good Roscommon performance this evening in Croke Park.

We are certainly up against it today due to the amount of injuries in the panel. While several of the younger players have played underage/club finals in Croke Park before, what an opportunity for the likes of Niall Higgins, Even Flynn, Eoin McCormack, Shane Cunnane, Ruiadhri Fallon and Daire Cregg and others to test themselves against the All Ireland champions in Croke Park. The best of luck to the management and team today. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 507 - 17/02/2024 10:30:22 2526449 Link 1 |

I can't see us getting out of Croke park with less than a ten point hiding tonight. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 519 - 17/02/2024 11:26:34 2526455 Link 0 |

Roscommon would have to perform very poorly for that to happen Having watched Dublin in the opening two games where they lost both and didn't look beating any team by 10 points.

Arrived in Croke Park. Daly and Cox togged. Fitzpatrick replaces Connolly. Tough battle ahead but a great test for the group. Dubs squad is strong, some serious options on the bench. Best of luck lads D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 146 - 17/02/2024 16:43:15 2526500 Link 1 |

A bit pessimistic there Ros2013. Hope ye win but I think ye'll stay within 3 points, plus or minus. Both teams playing the long game, aiming to peak towards the latter stages of championship.

After a shaky opening 10mins we are well in this game. Some lovely scores, fast moving ball is hard stop. Getting nothing off Hurson. Big 35 ahead D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 146 - 17/02/2024 17:53:36 2526517 Link 0 |

Whatever you think, stat on screen at 55mons, 10 frees to Roscommon, 4 to Dublin

Good showing in the first but a big difference between us and the Dubs is they punish you for your mistakes and we wasted a few good attacking opportunities. Might not see the short term benefit but a great experience for a lot of lads from recent u20 teams. Enda and co would have loved to have got that chance when they made the transition to senior. Monaghan game now is massive. MachaireConnacht (Roscommon) - Posts: 784 - 17/02/2024 18:52:01 2526523 Link 0 |

In fairness Rossies not as wasteful as Dubs. Dublin 8 wides in first half alone, Rossies, was it just 1? , and I think that was an overview pass.
