Awesome a coach who can't even get Greece to the euros through the back door of dud teams, can't wait. Might as well stick with o'shea
Losing on penalties ONCE doesn't mean the manager is bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZt6-NJYv6U
O'Shea needs more time anyway. He definitely has talent.
Very little, ochon. Ferguson starting to look more like a kid who had a streaky spell a few months ago than "maybe the best teenager in the world" as one over-excitable commentator described him at the time. Both our vaunted goalies are scarcely world-class either; after that? Very little.

But Ferguson will find his mojo again
Will he though? It can't be a coincidence that his form has nosedived after he signed the big contract and he looks bang average all of a sudden. He could just as easily fall by the wayside like many before him. Troy Parrott was talked up as the new Harry kane at one stage and he has done little to live up that reputation since. The same applies to Bradley whose next contract will probably be life changing numbers. He has played well for Liverpool but there are only about a dozen games to base it on and I'd only judge them after playing a couple of good seasons after they become established pros.

Monaghan got to the semi final last year and were relegated recently. Did their form fall off a cliff or did they do things differently this year so far?
Monaghan were missing too many of last year All-Ireland semi final team and no surprise they got relegated. Get the majority of those players back and they should at least reach the last 8 this summer.

They ran out of gas over 8 days in June, losing 2 matches by a point.
This year Brigids got to the all Ireland final and Roscommon didn't care about the league ....
Don't think it was possible to do a alot of training last year before the league when the appointment was made so late and wasn't Burke still involded with Maynooth college?
Would have cared about that league and it simply became uphill challenge to avoid relegation once they lost to Tyrone in round 1 and only drew with Galway at home in round 2.
Quote from: Cunny Funt on March 26, 2024, 09:02:22 PMRoscommon last year played a controlled possession based game making them competitive against all Div 1 teams in league and championship. Since the Dublin draw in May and the daft media talk that followed it they have gone away from that. Burke has come out since to say that way of playing wasn't his style which suggests it was the style of one if not two of the coaches that left.Last year Roscommon did a lot of pre season training and hit the ground running in the league, winning 3 on the trot. They ran out of gas over 8 days in June, losing 2 matches by a point.
This year are a disjointed and unorganized team. They are currently a team that don't make themselves hard to score against and a forward line that struggling without Ben O'Carroll,Ciaran Murtagh and Cian McKeon. Lack of midfield also with Eddie Nolan opting out and Keith Doyle injured. No surprise with all of that Roscommon were relegated and it will be a struggle for Davy Burke to turn things around and to get much of impact out of his team the upcoming championship.

Hate speech is like a Durable relationship. You can interpret anything as a durable relationship and you can interpret anything as Hate Speech.
Quote from: Franko on March 26, 2024, 01:46:26 PMIt sure is. I think they will have to change the championship .

It's a good argument for abolishing the Provincials or the link between them and the AI.
OK, so we're agreed
This has everything to do with the structure of the championship and the relative weaknesses of the provincial championships compared to Ulster
And nothing to do with the split season
Sorry I was confused, maybe I got the wrong end of de schtick but I thought your messaging was mixed
Tis a great day for sure
Quote from: Rossfan on March 26, 2024, 12:37:44 PMHave we begun the slide as our early to mid 2011 to 16 Minor/u21 silver generation reach retirement age?#plámás
That group won Connachts at the 3 Grades but never quite cut it at AI level.
Next year could see us without a Smith, Daly or Murtagh so it could be back down among the small Counties with populations of under 100k or the hurley Counties.
But let's have one last cut at it Davy....
