Must be including fringe players as Monaghan will only be making 3 or 4 changes to their starting team this Saturday from that day with O'Hanlon the main player back. rossies injury hit from that game especially defensively and with their championship opener the following week and Monaghan have a three week break before the Ulster championship it's very much advantage for the Farney men.

Team named for tommorrows Div 2 final. Brian Stack as expected remains out and Daire also out a few others are back. Best of luck to the Roscommon senior and safe travels to those making the trip to Dublin. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3985 - 28/03/2025 14:39:42 2599080 Link 0 |

Is Niall Daly injured or is he just not making the squad? Thought his experience would be needed especially in defense where we are struggling. Conor Daly was a big loss to the panel this year too I feel. He would have been an ideal full back and bring a bit of steel and aggression to the team also. Best of luck to the U17's this evening and to the senior team tomorrow. Be great to beat a very decent Monaghan side in Croker and most importantly that we produce a really good and improved performance from last Sunday. Ros Comáin abú

Just leaving tuam and we have a great minor team there. The organisation hunger skill levels are brilliant. I have heard great things about Shane Moran from a few roscommon gaels lads and it looks to be true. Extremely impressed from my first time viewing this team in person. Again brown looks unbelievably good and Curran is a joy to watch. Everyone today looked good. These boys could go far with the management they have. Is Shane Moran originally from roscommon gaels. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1216 - 28/03/2025 19:06:05 2599124 Link 1 |

Good 3 point win by the Roscommon minors tonight over Galway in Tuam. Mature performance by the team who fully deserved their win. Galway "shot themselves in the foot" a little bit by their frequent indiscipline. (Ball being brought forward by 50 mts) letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 702 - 28/03/2025 19:07:27 2599125 Link 1 |

Think Shane Moran is a Mayo man. Good win for minors in Tuam this evening. Our forwards were economical when needed. Dara Curran excellent. Roscommon though were cleaned out at midfield for much of the match and that's an area that needs to be addressed going forward. We play Mayo in The Hyde next Friday. Galway were hurt this evening by indiscipline but the new rules are simply ridiculous in terms of moving the ball forward 50 metres for supposedly not handing the ball over after a foul. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2347 - 28/03/2025 20:39:25 2599137 Link 0 |

Is Brian Stack likely to be back for the championship. He's needed . endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2347 - 29/03/2025 11:24:07 2599198 Link 0 |

Was at the match the three breach rule more so than not handing the ball back was the issue the ref certainly didn't hold back in using the new rules but it became a very stop start contest. Galway have among the best midfield pairing at this grade but last night proved you need a lot than that to win a championship game. Roscommon defended and attacked better of the two teams and hence deserved the win. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 337 - 29/03/2025 12:14:06 2599209 Link 1 |

Huge loss at the moment, don't seem to have anyone to fill his shoes. Shannonside podcast seemed to suggest he'd be back for Connacht semi but possibly not up to speed.

Hopefully a good performance at the very least this evening. Monaghan are the only team we've played this year that are of division 1 standard so its an important test before a likely game with Galway. We know our defensive weak spots but I'd like to see us more clinical up front as well and a better spread of scores not just heavily weighted on the Murtaghs. Hope we can up the work rate and intensity because Monaghan won't be lacking that. I can understand Davy not knowing his best 15 as there has been a lot of hot and cold performances coupled with what seems a deeper panel. This is the game now for lads to start putting the hand to claim their position. Ros Comáin abú! FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 29 - 29/03/2025 17:15:29 2599282 Link 0 |

An absolutely shocking second half performance there but I'm not surprised. Seems to be a theme this season. I've said it before and I'll say it again we simply cannot defend. No aggression whatsoever in the tackle. No desire to play ball in the second half either. Standing around with the ball in hand waiting for something to happen and then lads receiving ball standing still while Monaghan did everything at pace. Defended at pace and with aggression and attacked at pace. Used the 2 pointer rule brilliantly also. If I was a neutral watching on I'd think that Monaghan were the team who had management in place 3 years and that Roscommon had the new management set up. Unless there are big changes in the championship then I can't see how Roscommon can continue with the current set up. Who we replace them with I don't know but we're going nowhere fast with Burke at the helm unfortunately. ComainRos (Roscommon) - Posts: 146 - 29/03/2025 21:08:13 2599336 Link 2 |

Couldn't say it much better, mgt have a lot to an account for. We are clearly not concentrating on the 1v1 defending or two pointers in training ,but some of so called players are not performing either. Don't deserve to be going up to d1. I am just hoping we did a lot hard training recently and that's our excuse for collapsing in the our last few games. hontherossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 121 - 29/03/2025 21:29:50 2599341 Link 0 |

Agree with everything you said. Clueless everywhere

10 point beating not what we wanted or needed a week before the championship gets under way. Fade out very concerning when you consider it was 0-20 to 0-18 with 15 minutes to play and just landed a point effort into the greatful arms of Beggan and from the next attack came the Monaghan goal.

Do you have the stats on the game analyser? I'd be interested to see how many scores they got from turnovers and basic mistakes from Ros. We also kicked quite a few short again along with all the wides. Maybe our forwards aren't as great as everyone proclaims. Anyway a massive improvement needed even if it is London we're playing. If they match Monaghans intensity tonight then it'll not be the walk in the park everyone expects
