I still don't expect it to happen but it's hard to know what's going on the longer the process goes on and nothing from the County Board. Best of luck to Noel Dunning with the U20s. There are plenty of good young players in Roscommon.

@endgame i believe you wanted Anthony Cunningham gone by 2020. As the saying goes be careful what you wish for. Finding a replacement for him has been no easy task and could likely end up with a down grade on Cunningham now.

Most likely looking like a massive down grade on Cunningham and it's getting embarrassing that no one wants the job. We will end up with Flanagan who will bring his buddies in as backroom team. I'm still praying the county board are lining up something better

Roscommon won one championship game in the following two seasons and that against a 14 man Division 4 team. Anyway that's in the past. Roscommon have talented footballers and more players coming through from U20. Our forwards are amongst the best in the country. It's a huge pity if we can't get a quality Manager to bring the team forward. I don't know what's going on with the County Board and the recruitment process. Monaghan are a Division 1 team and they ended up appointing a former player Vinny Corey. Donegal who have been one of the best teams in the country over the last few years still haven't made an appointment. I hope Roscommon get the right Manager even if we have had to wait. I don't think Pat Flanagan is the man.

There will be only 2 teams left in each of the 3 Club Championships by Sunday 9th October so we'll have to go for someone local or of Ros extraction.
A total outsider won't have seen many players in action.

If ye were Pat Flanagan would ya take the job now? It's clear they are trying to find someone else and he's a last resort, otherwise he would have had the job ages ago. He wouldn't be my first or second choice but I wouldn't blame him if he politely turned it down now either.

The struggle to appoint anyone shows the reality and your ignoring the fact that Cunningham has left Roscommon in Div 1 and a downgrade replacement could easily lead Roscommon back to Div 3.

I don't think Pat Flanagan is the man." Endgame: How could you have been right about Anthony Cunningham in 2020 when Roscommon won a fantastic Connacht championship in 2019 by beating Mayo for the first time in nearly 40 years in Castlebar and also Galway in Pearse stadium.
For example, in some of your recent posts you include statements such as:-
while indicating '"no disrespect to Anthony Cunningham, Liam Tully, Pat Flanagan .... etc", you continually dismiss them as 'not being up to the job'.
* Anthony Cunningham won a Connacht title very much against the odds with Roscommon and has left us in division 1
* Liam Tully got both Roscommon under 17s and under 20 teams into All Ireland Finals which was a fantastic achievement.
* Pat Flanagan has won two Roscommon County titles and also a Connacht club championship with Pearses for the first time.
For some reason you seem to get some malicious pleasure in running down people who have put everything into the job of trying to improve Roscommon football.
All three men have given their all for Roscommon club and county teams and are due much more respect for their efforts. Stating "with no disrespect" in your posts is bu----it and you know it. I think that it would be a much better use of your time suggesting who you think should be the new Roscommon manager and backroom team, while also including some justification for your answers.
I would like to wish the county board well in their search for a new manager and backroom team as it is a very difficult job in the current climate. It is very likely that the new manager will not have the experience of Anthony Cunningham and some posters will be unhappy no matter who is appointed.
Personally, I would like to see Cathal Cregg having some involvement in the new management team, not necessarily being the new manager. Cathal played 16 years under a range of different Roscommon managers (Anthony Cunningham, Kevin McStay, Fergal O' Donnell, John Evens, John Maughan etc), DCU managers, International Rules managers, which, allied to his relevant PhD and Masters in Exercise Science, would bring recent up-to-date thinking and reflection to the management team. I know that Cathal is still playing, has a challenging job and a very young family, but the county board should try to get him involved in some capacity, if possible.

It's about the championship. It's about results. Apart from his first year of 2019, Cunningham's record in the championship was poor. There was no case for him staying on for a fifth year. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes with the County Board. We'll have to see what happens. There are plenty of good footballers on this Roscommon team and we should be doing a lot better than we have been.

How do we see the Quarter finals going this weekend? For me.
Senior
Strokestown v Oran. Oran into the last 8 for the 2nd year in a row having lost just 1 game that's good progress from a team that struggled to get out of the intermediate grade. How they handle McGann, Colin Compton will be key here. In Carty, Fitzpatrick and S Walsh, D Walsh they have the forwards to prevail here. Oran by 1
Roscommon Gaels v Padraig Pearses as i said already a number of competitive battles between these two sides over the last 5 years. Won't be surprised if extra time is required to find a winner here with Pearses progressing narrowly.
St Brigids v Clann na nGael if Clann defend as poorly as they did against Boyle they'll ship another heavy defeat. Injuries lads in America hasn't helped their cause and will be a surprise if they cause upset here. Brigids by 4.
Boyle v Michael Glaveys. Hard to see past a comfortable win for Boyle. They are free scoring while Glaveys are very loose at the back. Boyle by 6
Intermediate
St Dominic's v Creggs. Dominics the favourites for this county title should win this match by at least 5 points
Fuerty v Castlerea. Fuerty look like the strongest contender to Dominics and Castlerea smarting from poor performance against their neighbours. Fuerty by 4
Eire Og v St Brigids B. Eire Óg topped their table by winning all their games but how strong was their group? Only beat Clann B by 1 point and have a feeling a simliar margin of victory against Brigids B.
St Croans v St Aidans better scoring power and having the senior experience will give Croans the edge by about 5 points
Junior A
I think we'll see wins for Pearses, Kilglass, Roscommon Gaels,Dominics
Another big game this weekend is the Div 1 U17 final. Logic suggests Roscommon Gaels will retain the title however Glaveys/Eire Og have forwards like Brian Greene, Robert Heneghan to cause upset.

The defeat to Clare and manner of it was as much on the players as manager. To me it seems it would have been easier on the Roscommon county board to bring in a defensive coach to work along side Cunningham than have 3 month search for a new management team.
