Replying To foreveryoung: "And that last time, '79, the next year, we all know where Roscommon ended up (to this day, the one that got away…Kerry/Micko RIP knew that). So, playing top level teams in top level finals might not be a bad thing going forward. I know that we cannot be judging it on a once-off happening from over 40 years ago. Would love to see Roscommon nail a national title with this current team!" Go for every game, chance might not come again. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 420 - 19/03/2026 11:09:00 2661791 Link

Always better to win a close one than to lose it. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2619 - 20/03/2026 18:29:26 2661980 Link
We beat Sligo by 1 point. Good 1st half as we led by 10 points at one stage that was cut to 8 by half time. Sligo to their credit came out all guns blazing. Goal and two pointer in a minute cut our 7 point led to one and last score of the game was another Sligo two pointer. Win is a win but we can't repeat that 2nd half performance against a strong Galway outfit next Friday. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4299 - 20/03/2026 18:50:53 2661982 Link

Maybe both teams will improve with games but looks like this year's crops are not as strong as those of the last few years? Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 420 - 20/03/2026 20:10:52 2661990 Link

Played great competitive football and put serious pressure on the Sligo team in the first half. 10 points up with little wind after about 27 minutes and did not score again for about 25 minutes. Sligo will have serious regrets, with their keeper dropping the ball into the net, the center back throwing the ball at the Roscommon player near the sideline rather than handing the ball back, and a couple of breaches in the second half when they had the ball. Big improvement needed for the Galway game and the team must play for the full 60 minutes. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 860 - 20/03/2026 21:11:02 2661996 Link

Yes good first half for roscommon, but a big gap between last score in first half and first score in second. Sligo do.inated second half. Best player in second half for roscommon was the goalkeeper. A win away from ho.e was a good start but huge improvement needed to progress. Sligo missing their best forward conor lang. Charliepace (Donegal) - Posts: 28 - 20/03/2026 21:12:39 2661997 Link
Replying To Seanfan: "Maybe both teams will improve with games but looks like this year's crops are not as strong as those of the last few years?" Last year was our strongest U17/U18 crop since 2011 so was always slim to be as strong this year. Sligo especially 2nd half proved they are stronger than last year and will be interesting to see how they do in remaining games. Galway (H) Mayo (A) we now have in the next two weeks where we see where this crop are at, we'll hopefully be competitive in those games. All about reaching the knock out stages and see where that takes us and last night's win has taken us a step closer to that objective.

Experimental Roscommon and Mayo teams who do not want to give too much away before a probable championship meeting. Looks like the Roscommon management are keeping their options open re the league final. If word comes through that Kerry are leading Armagh with a bit to spare, I expect some more players to make their first league start. If Armagh are ahead in the second half you might see some of our top-guns getting a run out? Great position to be in. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 860 - 21/03/2026 16:41:28 2662087 Link
