Hardly laissez-faire, it's only been two weeks. The Mayo appointment has been going on two months.

Monaghan and Donegal longer than us also.

Fair point but between that and the seven weeks it took them to get AC to announce intentions it seems very sloppy.

Exactly. Mayo interviews supposed to be this week I think. No mention of Kevin Walsh in any of the Roscommon speculation. You'd wonder about the Rochford and Bohan talk, seems like a media copy and paste of the names mentioned after McStay left.

Strong rumours in Dublin over weekend that Paul Curran amd Jason Sherlock linked to the Roscommon job as a manager and coach. Curran would have former links with Clan na Gael after previously managing them to a title. He is currently the manager of Oliver Plunketts who were well beaten in championship last week.

Paul Curran was linked with us in the past and TBH a number of local lads would be as good if not better as outright manager but having Jason Sherlock involved in the management in a coaching capacity is different story, Monaghan have already had talks with him. Attention turns to club championship action this weekend. Senior Roscommon Gaels v Elphin - Gaels boosted by the return of a few starters and should pick up their first win against Elphin side with a battle on their hands to avoid relegation - Gaels by 3 Michael Glaveys v Oran - Good win for Glaveys the last day with so many players out most are out again for this match and are up against better opposition - Oran by 4 St Faithleachs v Boyle - Missed opportunity for them to pick up the win or draw against a Clann side that was missing half of their county final team. Potential to be highest scoring game of the weekend and Boyle's firepower is more spread out than Faithleachs - Boyle by 5 Western Gaels v Clann na nGael - A lot will depend on how many players return for Clann. Western Gaels in danger of finding themselves in another relegation fight - Draw Tulsk v Strokestown - A derby and bragging rights on the line. Tulsk recovering from a bad beating in round 1 and simply don't have the strength in depth of some other clubs. I presume both Comptons will start this weekend and mcGann is in excellent form - Stokestown by 6 St Brigids v Padraig Pearses - Possibility that this could be the county final will we get a bit of shadow boxing here? both know they'll reach the knock out stages regardless of this match and result - Pearses by 2 intermediate Fuerty v St Croans - Can Kilroy with his current injury situation play in this match having played for Tremane yesterday i'm think not but perhaps with home advantage they'll still get over the line regardless. - Fuerty by 1 Kilbride v Eire Og - Kilbride boosted by the return of Conor Devaney. Can imagine the players and management of Eire Og had plenty of question marks over their 2nd half performance in round 1 and providing they don't nod off 2nd half it should be a straight forward win Eire Og by 5 Creggs v Kilmore - Did well to earn a draw the last day away to Croans, Kilmore was competitive in their defeat against Fuerty and i'd expect same here - Creggs by 2 St Brigids B v St. Dominic's - Not sure if Doyle,Keenan,Lohan i think are still out and all will be needed if they are to win this county title as expected without them they should still win - Doms by 4 St Aidans v Shannon Gaels - losing here will find themselves closer to the tap door. Shannon Gaels seem to have the little bit extra going for them and will need Evan Corcoran on form - Shannon Gaels by 2 Clann na nGael B v Castlerea - Clann will be pleased by their round 1 display that could easily have picked up at least a draw. Castlerea had stroll against Kilbride. I doubt Clann will be able to handle the speed and movement of the McDermottt - Castlerea by 6 Junior A i think wins for St Joseph's,Pearses,Strokestown,Barrys.Ronans and a draw between The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4034 - 15/08/2022 17:28:27 2437552 Link 1 |

Was Curran linked the last time as well? Andy Moran reckons a lot of counties biding their time to see who gets the Mayo job first before deciding on manager and backroom teams to see if they can pick up some of those not successful.

I wouldn't be against this at all. I think having Jayo involved with us would be great given he was on the management team with JIm Gavin for many of those successful years. I think getting someone from outside the county would also be useful. Thirdly, Dublin won their All Irelands playing good football. Roscommon's style of play in the games I saw this year was putrid over defensive rubbish and held this team back.

Interesting to see the number of ex GAA players with top level basketball experience being employed as county GAA coaches. Obviously they have great experience of defending the D and also developing strategies to attack the D. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 726 - 16/08/2022 11:34:56 2437614 Link 0 |

Jason Sherlock would bring a wealth of knowledge. The basketball way is essential unfortunately. Begs the question why Roscommon weren't further ahead in developing that way of playing when McHale was on board.

What games did you see? Roscommon scored 1-17, 2-16, 0-24,1-21,1-21 in your last 5 games the types of high scores any team doesn't produce if you are playing defensive putrid rubbish. What held back Roscommon to my eyes and I'm sure most would agree was a lack of defensive structure, conceded 2-15 to Clare who aren't a high scoring team in the last game highlighted that.

McHale is offensive coach the same with Sherlock. Declan Darcy was among those that did the defensive coaching with Dublin under Jim Gavin.
