That was a worrying performance from Roscommon, beaten before they came out of the dressing room.
They actually started alright 0-3 to 0-1 ahead then for Mayo to hit 8 or 9 points on the trot. If buts and maybes about the three goal chances before half time if a few of them were taken it could have been a different game and if their confidence wasn't shot with that wastefulness it must have been after C O Connor converted that penalty after HT. The remainer of the game was 0-10 to 0-9 to Mayo with a bucket load of wides kicked by both sides.

Hard to know where Mayo stand at the moment after watching last night's no intensity non contest but the Dublin game next should tell more.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Roscommon couldn't bring any intensity to the game and Mayo realised it seemed they could win pulling up without it.
Mayo started the game quite hard and if those early point chances had been taken Roscommon could have been in bigger bother. I actually thought one of Regan's early misses was a score.
If we keep conceding goal chances - and there is no reason to suggest that we wont in the short term - we're going to ship a bad beating and it could be next Sat. On the other hand staying in the division is the only objective and another win or even a draw should do it.

It's going to be a massacre

While I have some reservations about the McStay/McHale management setup and their inability to keep our  best players on panel (eg Dalys), seeing the beginnings of some of the underage swagger emerging in the style of play. Don't think this will be a massacre and in fact we are in with a good shout of winning what should be close either way. Disagree with the odds, think we'll eek out the narrow win.

Was Seanie McDermott on a yellow before the trip he did on.Regan in the second half? Am surprised the ref took no action against him regarding that particular incident.

Mayo had goal chances too and kicked 15 wides, Roscommon may have had some goal chances too but they were appalling and brought no intensity to the game. Roscommon at Senior level just can't beat Mayo, I know they haven't beaten them since 2001 in the Championship but when did they last beat Mayo in the league?

1988 apparently. Not sure how many times they've played during that time though

Five times Saturday,89,95,2016 and division one semi final in 2001 that Mayo won by two points. 1-19 is apparently the highest ever score Mayo have scored against Roscommon in league football.

And 15 or 16 wides as well :-[
Why isn't Paddy Brogan getting game time in the worst defence in the Division?
Is he being forced into constructive dismissal or something??
