Lads we can quibble about harsh decisions here and there but despite getting a man sent off, we would still conspire to lose. MachaireConnacht (Roscommon) - Posts: 999 - 29/06/2024 19:57:45 2555672 Link 0 |
Think Galway just showed that the 7 day turn around isn't as massive as we make it out to be. Why are Galway able to reach next level and we can't. it's frustrating to see these players get older and never reach the heights we all thought we could.

Galway believed they could beat Dublin, we couldn't even believe we'd beat Armagh. That's the difference. MachaireConnacht (Roscommon) - Posts: 999 - 29/06/2024 20:02:37 2555681 Link 0 |
That's it. Same old same old from Roscommon. Same old same old from Davy Burke blaming not having a week off. Didn't trouble Galway who were magnificent dethroning the Dubs. A mention for Brian Stack. A warrior in battle today. If only we had more like him.

Agreed, momentum and confidence is huge. We had the former, not the latter.

As I said on the Galway thread it takes some prep to have a team in that shape on fitness and conditioning to pull off the win something we sadly don't have. Getting our training centre up and running will be one way to address this issue until it does we have to hope the scheduing is kind for us.

Will that be the end of burke in Roscommon. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1126 - 29/06/2024 20:21:15 2555695 Link 0 |
Absolutely. It doesn't make sense anyway for a lad with a young family trekking up and down. Davy is a likable character. A genuine gael. I think he'd be a great addition to his own county.

No disrespect Roscommon showed today they have work to do on their fitness and conditioning. So many of your forwards was kicking tired shots and making errors all over the field. It's also unfortunate to lose two first choice players in the first quarter of the match and no team wants to play half of All-Ireland Quarter final with 14 men and I thought the sending off for Fallon was harsh.

Nothing much to celebrate in Mayo this year. Beat by London at home in the FBD league. Mediocre league. Blew a lead against Galway in injury time. Blew a lead against the Dubs in injury time. Found a new way to lose against Derry. Hardly a surprise you were supporting Armagh today. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 958 - 29/06/2024 21:35:38 2555747 Link 6 |
The difference between Galway and the rest of Connacht couldn't be starker. A County that has a winning mentality.

Disappointed with the result. A very up and down year. Galway showed that the 7 day turnaround is not as huge an issue as it's made out to be. BrigidsToom (Roscommon) - Posts: 19 - 29/06/2024 21:53:38 2555759 Link 0 |
We lost that game in the first half when we were very poor. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1795 - 29/06/2024 22:09:23 2555768 Link 0 |
Stack was unreal. What a player. Ye are very lucky to have him. I think he has the Kerry winner mentality.

I was a poor and very error prone game and in the end Armagh earned their win because they were thankful Roscommon was so wasteful and in a game that was 14 scores to 12 they got two goals including one that was a gift. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3456 - 29/06/2024 23:02:34 2555790 Link 0 |
You ok hun? Who said there was anything to celebrate? The post was about Davy Burke and his record this year.

Firstly Drax well done to Galway. A brave performance from ye to topple the Dubs. I hope Shane Walsh and Sean Kelly are fit for the semi final and that Galway win it out now. It would be great for Connacht as well as for Galway and we'll all be shouting for ye. As to Roscommon, we can have no complaints or excuses. Yes Fallon was sent off but we were very poor with the 15 men before that anyway. Where were the forwards from Omagh. Not to be seen on gaa's biggest stage. Daire Cregg is young and will learn but what's with Diarmuid Murtagh kicking the ball short into the goalkeeper's hands. How often did he do it. Donie Smith on fire in Omagh was so poor yesterday. We had an All star yesterday who was so anonymous that I had to check a couple of times to see if he was still on the field. Brian Stack was heroic and that's what's needed to grind out a win in Croke park. Armagh are so ordinary and it was a great chance for Roscommon to get to a semi final but we blew it away, threw it away. Happens all the time in Croker. Under Davy or under Anthony. Remember the collapse against Clare two years ago. Roscommon don't have the mental fortitude to get to a semi final, to win in Croke park. It's so disappointing. 44 years of pain and on we go. Roscommon have some very good players but it's hard to know where we go from here. You can train and coach skills but how do you teach a county to know how the win.

Decided not to post immediately after the game as I was so disappointed with the overall performance yesterday as I firmly believed that we would beat Armagh. Feel for the players and management as they must have a sick feeling after putting in so much effort over the last year. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 612 - 30/06/2024 09:46:21 2555865 Link 0 |
What has Davy ever done to you? Do you know him personally? If you have a word with him man to man. If you don't, Ireland is a small place so it won't be hard to track him down. Again man to man, instead of an anonymous Internet forum. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 958 - 30/06/2024 09:53:18 2555869 Link 0 |
Wouldn't make a bit of difference.. I don't think we have anyone in the county good enough to take the job or be involved. St Brigid's last year had a Kerry man over them and I even see Cunningham has a Offaly and Galway man involved in Brigid's this year. The usual names will be thrown around but I'd be going all in on some one like Malachy O'Rourke but I'd say Micky Harte will be gone if Derry get beat today and Malachy will take the Derry job then. We need a manager that will bring us up to a top standard in fitness and conditioning and change our mentality within the team. The talent is there with 4/5 young lads coming through and hopefully getting Ciaran murtagh Cian McKeon Eddie Nolan Richard Hughes Conor Daly all back next year with a fit Ben O'Carroll and Cathal Heneghan and hopefully no one else dropping out. We will have a strong panel. The decision on burke needs to be made asap and not left like we did with Cunningham. Get everything done early so we give ourselves the best chance to be ready for next January.
