Galway played fairly shite and won, absolutely dreadful in the first half Walsh aside. Rossies went to pieces when Galway put on a modicum of pressure in the 2nd half.
Compton going off was a pivotal moment for Roscommon, destroyed at midfield afterwards.
The Rossie fans behind the Galway goals chanting "Rory, Rory, Rory" at Lavelle for the entire 1st half are a stain on the nature of good sportsmanship, delighted to see Roscommon beaten if for nothing else than to shut those idiots up.
Brannigan, Comer not in it at all, Flynn excellent for the most part. Shane Walsh was imperious and the standout player by a country mile, no one else on the pitch to touch him.

Heard some chanting like that on and off in the first half alright. I thought it was Galway Galway Galway.
Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

Diarmuid Murtagh did not deserve to be on the losing side today. Pure class.

Compton going off was a game changer. He was playing well and you'd feel for Lavin in goals as nobody from Ross was looking for the ball for his kick outs.

Maybe Ross got a bit complacent at half time thinking the game was won?

Whatever the Galway lads giving out about Walsh he made some brave substitutes in the 2nd half that swung the game.
They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

To me it looked like they panicked when Galway up their game a bit.

Yeah the Galway subs nearly all made a contribution. Armstrong won a free that was scored and scored his own point, Varley scored a point, Duggan and Cooke helped stiffen up the midfield considerably.

On the plus side for Galway they managed to grind out the win with some notable names like Comer, Brannigan, Conroy and Heaney all having off days. McHugh even missed his frees which he usually nails.

They had three wides in a row at one stage in the second half.

Looked like a sizeable difference in the fitness of the 2 sides, Galway's new fitness coach has certainly had an impact.

They spent the first thirty five minutes hurling abuse at the Ruairi Lavelle :( You will always get one two gobs1tes but rarely 10-15, a horrible bunch of people. To any one that says this happens at  all matches, it doesn't.

A lot of embarassing wides by Roscommon. The 2 goals takes the bad look off the score.

The best forwards in Connacht (from Roscommon) kicked some wides today
You can forget about Sean Cavanagh as far as he's a man!

Galway pressing up in the second half shouldve been the gameplan to begin with. Once systems went out the window, the gulf in class was quickly evident. Flynn's really becoming a man this year and Kerin is a wonderful little corner back now. Walsh obviously was superb, and Army very lively off the bench. Don't think we'll ever have a half as bad as the first again. To endure that, be hit with two sucker punches of goals and still win by a comfortable margin in the end is positive.

Shoutout to the crowd of drunken muppets behind the goal. The type of fans that gave Roscommon fans a bad name around the turn of the century, but an element I thought was gone as ive seen nothing bad the last two years. Perhaps it was because the game was in the Hyde, as I suspect theyre the type of lads that dont make it out of the small town too often

Ah come on now. He was quiet most of the game (thought the Ros man marker, McInerney I believe, played very well, for all that Comer shouldve had a penalty), but the time he did hit his purple patch was right at the crunch stage of the game

They should have ours on the Saturday night, but the Sunday games clash with the WC final and ive a feeling they won't allow the Dubs game to clash with that, meaning the Galway game will.

Also if our hurlers lose the Leinster final, we could end up with the footballers in Croker and the Hurlers in Pairc ui Caoimh playing a QF at the same time. At best it would be a trip to Dublin and Cork on consecutive days. Important the hurlers win

On a good note, we've a home Super 8 game in Salthill the Saturday night of race week. Epic
