The father graced the Hyde often for Ros Gaels himself. I hope he wasn't feeding wee Evan tips.

Roscommon for Sam 2016.

I was watching Four Falls of Buffalo recently, a documentary about the Buffalo Bills team that made four Superbowls in a row the early 90s but lost them all, most by cricket scores but one that was lost on a single play. The Bills have never won a Superbowl but by the time they'd lost the second in a row the people who supported them as underdogs were sick of them ruining the Superbowl by continually getting there and turned against the Bills. It was sad to see.

Sport is not a popularity contest! It is not based on who is liked the most by who wins. I don't care how fed up the media or Gaelic followers are of Mayo Making the later stages of the AI Championships and spoiling their spectacle. If your county is good enough to stop us on the way well and good. If not then put up and shut up. We get where we get on merit and I don't expect them to stand aside in order to accommodate anyone just yet.

Well it looks like our neighbours will survive in div 1, 2 things I will say about yesterdays game,
1. If the rossies needed to win that game to survive in div 1 it would not have been played in hyde park.
2. With the game a dead rubber as far as Ros were concerned the cb were anxious that the game stay in the county town to give back to the business people who have supported club Rossie all the way.
I am not saying in any way that the result would have been different if played at another venue {we were hammered on the day} but that pitch was not fit for purpose.
Now with Mayo and Ros safe I would love to see Galway promoted as well, 3 Connacht teams in div 1, it could only be good for football in the province and good for us all in the long run.
While all local battles are the fiercest at the end of the day we are all west of Ireland people and if we dont look after ourselves then I am sure no one else will.
Asked by a good friend from Mayo a couple of years ago would I be supporting them in the all ire final I answered, its like this if ye win I will be laughing with ye, if ye lose I will be laughing at ye, thats pretty much the way it is.

Nobody in Mayo gives a shite what Ye think and what a load of desperate want for camaraderie nonsense that is we don't need any other Connacht teams doing well at all . Keep winning Nestor cups and putting Ye in your place that's all we want out of the Connacht championships.
