That's a real pity. Main thing is he makes a full recovery and gets back to fitness. All of them deserve credit for yesterday but I second the mention for Donie as well. I didn't think he had full games in him either. Serious contribution but he has been one of our hungrier players off the ball in previous games putting opposition players under pressure. Also I had doubted him last year but Ciaran Lennon puts in a huge amount of work off the ball. On the players missing you mentioned, even if we had half of them available. Squad depth is a weakness but hopefully everyone can dig deep next week again.

Went to bed late last night but could not help replaying those fantastic points (not pints) and defensive display in my head. Woke up this morning and the same thing is happening. I am particularly delighted for the more experienced members of our panel who have toiled for many years after suffering difficult minor, under 21 and senior defeats to Tyrone. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 612 - 23/06/2024 10:18:03 2553940 Link 0 |
The Mayo quarter final replay in 2017 was knockout. Mayo went on to reach the final losing by a point to Dublin,

Our last knockout Quarter Final is best forgotten....replay v Mayo 2017. McStay and his experiment with a man who'd never played a Senior match. Mind you most of the Round Robin Quarters series games best forgotten too. The past is gone, the next match is all that matters now. Going in with 2 successive wins is great but then all the teams in the Quarters had to win games to get there. Bring it on......

Momentum is a huge thing now, hope we can recover physically.

Well done rossies yesterday. We all know about the good forwards Roscommon have and that's not counting the ones that didn't play yesterday (Ben O'Carroll, Cian McKeon and Ciaran Murtagh) but what was most impressive yesterday was holding Tyrone to a mere 0-12 in Healy Park few sides have done that in championship football.

Can Louth not get Kerry now meaning we can only draw one of Armagh or Kerry? moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1105 - 23/06/2024 17:12:19 2554060 Link 1 |
Ye can get either Donegal, Armagh or Kerry. JahTribe (Galway) - Posts: 155 - 23/06/2024 17:26:25 2554062 Link 1 |
We can get anyone but Dublin. Armagh can only get us or Louth, Louth can only get Armagh or Donegal D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 209 - 23/06/2024 17:34:29 2554066 Link 1 |
We could also draw Donegal. Louth winning today though makes it more likely we get Kerry or Donegal and less likely we get Armagh. I would prefer to avoid Kerry. Armagh would probably be the preferred draw. We'll tune in tomorrow morning and see what happens.

Happy enough to have drawn Armagh. Make no mistake about it, if we can beat Tyrone in Omagh we are well capable of beating Armagh in Croke Park. Bring it on........... letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 612 - 24/06/2024 08:53:47 2554232 Link 0 |
Having taken everything in since Saturday, it really was an enjoyable trip to Healy Park. Some fantastic scores by Roscommon (Daire, Diarmuid and Donie were on absolute fire) and some very good defending. We dictated the game from the 1st minute and even when Tyrone were coming on strong, we managed the game and did not panic. Probably the 1st time we have managed a game like this all season.

So Armagh it is, the only defeat they had in the championship this year was on penalties in the Ulster final and they probably left that win behind them in normal time and extra time. We'll need top of range recovery sessions this week to have us ready for intense battle hopefully we are given the extra day with the match Sunday instead of Saturday.

Ye have a good chance lads. Look back at the Galway vs Armagh game. they were well beaten until we coughed up a stupid goal. Best chance in decades for Roscommon to reach the last 4. JahTribe (Galway) - Posts: 155 - 24/06/2024 09:54:25 2554268 Link 0 |
Given Armagh's recent history we need to practice penalties this week. The two best supporters teams will be Dublin & Armagh. As a lot of Gaa supporters work on Saturdays my GUESS would be that the Dublin match will be the second match on the Saturday for travelling purposes, with the Armagh v Roacommon match on the Sunday. (Hopefully) The Louth v Donegal match nearly has to be on the Sunday as it would be totally unfair to only give Louth only 6 days to recover and some other quarter finalists 8 / 14 days. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 612 - 24/06/2024 10:06:41 2554280 Link 0 |
