Replying To anotheralias: "Firstly i want to congratulate st brigids on doing roscommon and connacht proud. Played brilliant football and could just as easily have won. As a connacht man i was devastated for ye and proud of ye. With regard to neighbours shouting for Dingle, there will always be clowns. I would suggest that most genuine supporters from Clan and Pearses were behind ye. I know that when Caltra won AI in 2004 the popular narrative was that all Mountbellew were rooting for An Gaeltacht but in actual fact i met so many from the Mountbellew club in croke park that day all of whom were delighted with the result. Of course there were some clowns in 2004 too." You'll always have a bit of rivalry but most people would have parked it till Sunday night. Now the 11 other Senior Clubs can start planning how to relieve Brids of their Co Title and may it be hard and fast. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 317 - 20/01/2026 11:23:01 2652038 Link
Replying To Rossielover: "Saw a video online today of a pub in vicinity of Pearses GAA of the lads in the pub celebrating wildly when Dingle scored the winning point, most of these gentleman possibly friends with lads from Brigids, was a poor showing to see them not cheering on fellow county men, thoughts on this?" Find it strange Pearses shouting against brigids? Last time I checked there was 35km and 16 county titles between the 2 clubs Rossie22 (Roscommon) - Posts: 5 - 20/01/2026 11:39:46 2652041 Link

Replying To S1234: "I was actually shouting for ye as were a good few Mayo ones might be hard to believe but we were . Felt you were hard done by is well . I heard Kerry want to bring the cup and present it to Dingle at the match v Rossies in kerry in league how sad is that poor form." Well I have to say its great when Roscommon beat Mayo or Galway but once they play a team outside of Connacht I would always shout for my fellow provincial teams. Believe it or not but I dearly wanted Mayo to bring Sam West back when they were getting to the All Ireland final on a regular basis. The same with Galway. It'll probably never happen in my lifetime where the Rossies get to a senior All Ireland final again which is a shame but I can live to dream. I would assume most of Connacht would have our backs too in big games outside of Connacht. Its the neighbourly thing to do ComainRos (Roscommon) - Posts: 161 - 20/01/2026 13:17:10 2652072 Link
Not sure players/fan from Pearses Clann or whoever should be expected toshout for Brigids. Some will some wont i dont see a problem Wouldnt say people in Brigids care either. Do posters here shout for Mayo/Galway when Roscommon are knocked out? I wouldnt expect Rangers fans to shout for Celtic or Munster fans to shout for Leinster. They are rivals as are other clubs within the county sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1264 - 20/01/2026 13:32:37 2652081 Link

Hard luck to St. Brigids. They did Roscommon proud. It was a great game to watch. It was a pity there was not a replay. There were alot of good footballers on both teams. I am looking forward to cheering them on in there Roscommon jerseys later this year. I also heard about that video online and it not a Pearses pub. There is always a few who don't like there rivals especially if they got some slagging when they lost finals. diehardrossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 13 - 20/01/2026 18:18:32 2652175 Link
Whatever about laughing or celebrating your rivals demise the fact remains that Brigid's have gone and won their All Ireland in recent times. Clan failed on five occasions even to a Wicklow club back in 1990 when they finally thought they'd get over the line. That brought an end to that era of final losses. Pearses on the other hand have only reached a semi final and were well off it when they got knocked out. We know who really has the last laugh tbh. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1230 - 20/01/2026 18:58:12 2652188 Link
