Great 2 points for ye today. Some classy footballers on display. Felt like ye had white line fever at the end though couldn't retain possession. On another note, hooter is a load of balls and needs to go

Great result for the rossie today. Fair play to mark o dowd, he is doing a massive job so far . He made no excuses about players missing got on with the job and developed other players. Big boost for team and the management today, it will give them huge encouragement for the rest of the season

Delighted to pick up the valuable two points on offer. We had fluid, flowing football in the opening 35 minutes not to mention dominance of the kickout exchanges. It was dream stuff to be leading the All-Ireland champions of 2024 at half time by 12 points.

Different story 2nd half as Armagh threw all at us as they took over in midfield, we knuckled down then and got big impact off the bench especially the 3rd goal made by Duggan and scored by Carey. A key score to allow us to win by three.

2nd in the table after 3 games without Brigids players,McKeon Cox Harney exceeds expectations. Roll on Salthill next Saturday.

Big win, why was the Armagh goal disallowed? That was a turning point.

Armagh looked to play on the edge today, a lot of late hits on Roscommon players going by the highlights. Was it like that at the game or TV showing it up worse than it was?

Ya he is doing a great job and as you said he has never complained about missing at least ten players. I'm sure the Brigid's lads will be back for the Galway game but how can you drop anyone after the three brilliant performances we have put in. Mark has a tough job on his hands but it's a good thing

Great result, 2nd in table.
What a first half, can anyone remember a better half by any Ros team?
Loved Mark Dowd's interview after, so level headed," its just Round 3 of the NFL".

We were wiped at midfield in the second half. Plenty to work on but we have to be delighted with 4 points after three games minus the Brigid lads .Main thing is to stay up and build then towards the championship. Mark Dowd will have plenty of options for his starting 15 come championship. So far so good for the Strokestown man.

Good point. Mid field went AWOL second half. That old problem area is like a recurring boil for Ros!
