Why have the bookies got it wrong? Poor bookies. worple (Roscommon) - Posts: 339 - 28/05/2022 13:23:03 2420591 Link 0 |
Bookies no nothing .. That's a really strong Ros team.. The 3 Dalys in defence have been there done that.. I fear a hiding.... Belclare (Galway) - Posts: 904 - 28/05/2022 13:57:41 2420599 Link 0 |
Interesting team selection if its the one that starts as it appears Roscommon are going to go after Galway. SmokieRoss (Roscommon) - Posts: 272 - 28/05/2022 14:34:14 2420605 Link 0 |

Is Walsh not at full tilt yet? Hopefully we've sorted our kick outs as ye got some joy when Lavin was put under pressure the past two games.

Eoin McCormack had a very good year so far but maybe he's thinking this will be very physical early on and having all the Dalys on the field would be advantageous?

Decent final with the better team winning, Galway never looked like losing it, the two league games took place when Galway had already moved their preparation towards the championship but today was always likely to be different. Roscommon got a good draw so now find themselves one game from a QF but apart from the loser of Ulster the teams coming through Round 1 will fancy their chances against Limerick, Kildare and Roscommon. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 29/05/2022 15:30:40 2420762 Link 0 |
So as i predicted a few weeks ago, Galway will win very comfortably and Roscommon would only bring on D Murtagh when the game was practically over (losing by 7 points playing into a strong breeze). And again he makes a decent impact scoring 1-1 and setting up the other goal with limited possession and puts some respectability on to the final scoreline. Absolutely ridiculous leaving one of the best forwards in Connacht in reserve for so long. when D Smith, Cox, Mckeon and E Smith were all v quiet. I was beyond shocked that they at least didn't bring him on at half time, wonder does he not get on well with Anthony Cunningham. Ultan Harney was outstanding outstanding for Ros as was Walsh and Finnerty for Galway.

Defensively were as bad as a division 3 team. I couldn't believe how we let Galway run through us all day. Management have to take alot of the blame today with how we set up. They dragged Niall Daly out of CB and ran through us all day. Just so disappointing to not lay a hand on them. Galway on the other hand conceded 2-16 playing with 14 behind the ball for 70 mins. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1036 - 29/05/2022 15:52:45 2420769 Link 0 |
Bookies and the punters had Galway to win by 2 and ended up winning by 3. So congratulations to Galway who proved why they were favourites. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3722 - 29/05/2022 15:53:27 2420770 Link 2 |
Fine game. Galway deserved to win. You have to attack at speed. Roscommon didn't. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1887 - 29/05/2022 15:53:38 2420771 Link 0 |
No defensive lessons learned from the league final or Sligo games. Opened up at will. Everything seemed to come down our right side in the first half. I would have Richard Hughes starting ahead of David Murray the next day out. In fairness we really improved on our kick outs. Thought Lavin was excellent. Ultan Harney battled to the end. Shouldn't have been a shock that Galway were going to be tighter at the back. Did even 3 of our starting 6 forwards score? No complaints, Galway were full value for the win.

Good luck going forward. Genuinely think you have a good side with a great chance of making the QFs. galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 29/05/2022 16:23:24 2420785 Link 0 |
Hate to admit it but Paddy Andrews is right, Roscommon far too nice. Brian Stack fouled a Galway player on the Galway half backline near the end. Think it was the first time Roscommon did that all day despite Galway counter attackingeasily all day. All the top teams do that in those positions.

Ye took some great scores yerselves today. Credit to the Galway defense, completely rattled our forwards. We had to work so much harder for our scores. Yer half back line was excellent

We lost because of how poorly we defended. Diarmuid can start the next day and we'll lose again if we repeat that effort of defending. I'd say Galway themselves can't believe at how loose we marked throughout that game.

Roscommon let down by what can be described by social distancing defending. The reaction levels was way off the two Galway goal summed that up. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 29/05/2022 17:54:57 2420815 Link 1 |
Our defending or lack thereof has been an issue for sometime. It won't be remedied in 2 weeks. We didn't lay a hand on Walsh or Finnerty who did as they pleased. Ultan Harney was outstanding and we scored 2.16 and were denied a penalty. However, until we address our poor defending, Roscommon are going nowhere. Best of luck to Galway who were well deserved winners today. I think though that Roscommon made Galway look better than they are. Great Roscommon support in Salthill. Pity there was so little for us to cheer about. The team selection will be questioned. Should McCormack and Hughes have started and is it the right call to start Diarmuid Murtagh on the bench. And will somebody please tell Enda Smith to look up when he makes those surging runs and see what's around him. We could have had a goal before Galway had either of theirs if he saw and passed to Eddie Nolan.

It's not enough.. we all saw problems during league and game against Sligo.. when a division 4 team can cut your defence open multiple times then surely you realise something is wrong. Game plan totally wrong today.. have we a defensive coach??
