Get a bit of perspective folks. It was a real game, like a game between 2 good teams should be like. Picking over the bones of it now is academic. What happened, happened and both teams have different fish to fry in the short term anyway.
Roscommon earned their win and that's that for me.
My personal grievance is about how we managed the game, but by articulating that it would appear disingenuous to Roscommon and that would not be my intention. The Mayo/ Roscommon curves will cross soon again. In the meantime Roscommon get on with their stuff and I am more concerned about what we do now.
Lot of  talk about Mayo in general and end of days and stuff. Well, it may be nonsense, but remains to be seen. I expected the Roscommon result and not the only one in my circle that did.
Tactically we were riddled and not for the first time, so that was no surprise. I'm getting vibes that Horan should clean the decks for qualifiers and play the kids - what kids they are thinking about I cant imagine?
Just my opinion but our problem going forward is that Horan needs to accepts his vision of the game needs to be set aside and deal with the practicalities that present themselves on any given day. Some coaches just concentrate on their own team's performance and trust in providence that what they do will be good enough. Horan appears to be like that.

Very good analysis.
Roscommon took almost all the chances they got. Good for them. They also started without some really good players.
James Horan had a poor day, which was magnified by his changes, starting with putting Andy Moran in as early as he did.

Hopefully we dont see a dog run on pitch like in Cavan Monaghan game or else the poor auld thing could be mounted and sexually abused by Lee keegan given his past history with them ;)

Amazing you have such compassion for four legged creatures like dogs and sheep in Rosscommon but when a few people with different coloured skin seek some shelter in an empty hotel you burn the place down! Peter Casey is sure to top the polls in Sheep Stealer land anyway being a true white gael I suppose!!
For the record an Independent Candidate native of Pakistan got around 550 1st Prefs.
A right wing anti immigrant xenophobe got 66 1st prefs..

Good man Andy. Now shut up for the rest of the year and knuckle down. Or do a Jim Gavin and waffle on about nothing at all, all of ye.

It explains why that hotel in Castlebar is called the Traveller's Friend
