Firstly well done to Monaghan and any of their posters on here. Fully deserved their win and good value for their 9 point win.
As for us we saved our worst performance of the year for the last match. Kickouts not finding them men, us not showing the intensity and fight in the middle 8 that was required. Defensively very poor lacked shape and players so often left flatfooted.
Not a whole lot of difference between Tyrone and Monaghan but how different our performances was 3 weeks apart was something else. One thing for sure we wouldn't have stayed up in Division one or even reached the Connacht final had we played similar to that today.
Finally thanks to players and management for what was a transitional year on the line and with many new or newish faces getting their chance and where we secured Division 1 status and won Connacht.
Nobody will be hurting more than them and will know they are a whole lot better than what they showed today, that's football and sport unfortunately and we'll go again in 2027.

Replying To Expertinall: "Yes, l believe it's the league highest ranked two countries, in Munster.When has that not been Cork and Kerry recently? What logic draws us to a8 team competition, because Kerry are in top 4? I don't understand your take on that. Anyway what's your solution, leave Munster as it is?" Really? Thats convenient.
Im using your logic on you. You have repeatedly said that the link between the provincial championships and the AI series must be broken. You have repeatedly used kerry as your " exhibit A" example and reason why that should be the case stating that they have it too easy. Kerry are a top 4 team pretty much every year and are the current AI champs. By your logic they will have it too handy against pretty much everyone outside of division 1 and some within it. Therefore why should they be playing them?

Replying To Southsligoman: "Champo baby.. we have had some luck so far!
Canice back is huge. Mullen too.
D bould mcgurn is a typical modern day gym footballer. Can kick a point strong and very athletic. A guy who lacks real talent but like gary neville has worked hard on his physique and has made the most of his ability. He needs marking. They have another forward love he is tidy.
A good team. Sligo by 2." Southsligoman.
I'd agree that most gaelic footballers are athletes now, due to the demands of the game and level of training the do.
On every county team there is a few players who may be relying on their athleticism/pace to play on the team however think Darragh McGurn may have a bit of "talent " now scoring 1-12 and 6 two pointers against Armagh might be good indicator that he has some football to go with his athleticism, as not every player does that!

Replying To farneygael3: "Couldn't get today due to work. Controlled game here in 2nd half. As said before, once the Connaught championship is over the Rossies are best just packing it in" Well done to Monaghan. If ye took your chances ye'd have beaten us by 20 points. Roscommon were poor today but that's a mostly young Roscommon team who I think over the next few years will go well in the All Ireland series. Best of luck to Monaghan in the next round.

Injuries-Due To Condensed Season? - 2 Like(s)
Reading all the previews of this weekend's matches it seems nearly every team involved has injuries preventing players from being on the starting 15. From memory (not great I admit), I don't remember such a high level of injuries.
Is it heavier training, wrong training methods, or does the condensed season contribute to it.
From quick memory, Meath, Kerry, Dublin, Roscommon, Westmeath, all seem to be missing starting players.

Embarassing stuff really, you could be optimistic and presume they've been training heavy to peak for Croke Park but the evidence is that they've played 3 championship games and been terrible in 2 and the other they had a gale wind behind them for the only half of 15v15. Looks like the goose is cooked for the year.

Galway Hurling thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Armchairreporter: "Is there that much of a difference between Leinster and Munster hurling and players. First the 20s out played and out muscled, now the minors... It looks like all leinster is doing at the moment is developing inflated egos.... Lets hope it doesn't follow through to the seniors." That minor team was losing by 12 points to Kilkenny and came back to draw and then win in extra time. A freakish kind of result. Imo the level of real ability in the team was best measured by the nature of their performance for the greater part of that game that produced that 12 point deficit. I dont think inflated egos had anything to do with it. Underage hurling in Munster is clearly of a higher standard than Leinster at the moment.

It looks like all leinster is doing at the moment is developing inflated egos.... Lets hope it doesn't follow through to the seniors." There's a massive difference at u21 level/ u20 level for the last 15 years or so. It was like as if every Munster county eventually lifted their preparation, and consequent performance in this grade, by light years in those 15 years, while Galway and KK just continued to operate in the same vein, and found themselves outclassed in the grade, in turn by Clare,Waterford, Limerick, Cork, Tipp, with ever increasing regularity and predictability in the timespan 2011-2026. That trend also explains why Limerick and Cork are now the two best senior squads in the country, and why Clare and Tipp had the quality to win the last two senior allireland titles.

Great win by the minors. Tbh i didnt give them any chance after round 1 of munster but they are improving all the time. Credit to Diarmuid Mullins and his coaching team. They get another crack at Tipp in the final now so who knows.

Replying To dave1988: "It's just so annoying to see a performance like that when it really matters. We need to look at what the hell is our problem when it really matters. No shape plan or intensity to our play today. No leaders on the pitch. It was embarrassing watching that. Mark dowd needs to really look at our mentality and get to the bottom of why we can't perform when it really matters." The Connacht final really mattered and Roscommon performed well and won a tight match. Today was a shocking performance from Roscommon. It's hard to understand how we were so bad. Monaghan could have won that match by 20 points. Perhaps the hype after winning Connacht got to the players. A lot of our players are young though and they should learn a lot from this season. Roscommon need to aspire for more than a provincial title. We do seem to struggle outside Connacht. Even our great team of the late 1970s lost three All Ireland semi finals before winning one. It's a very disappointing end to the inter county season for Roscommon and the minors were really poor last week as well against Ulster opposition.

Was quietly optimistic but have to say i was surprised how easy it turned out in the end. Roscommon's big players went missing after 40 mins.
It's bonus territory for Monaghan now...just the way we like it.
