Jesus,
we are probably the weakest team in there.

No ye're not -Ros are by a country mile

Are Roscommon actually that bad?

Yes -Sligo had 13 wides most of them unpressured shots. We got 2 goals against the run of play.
We were dispossessed about a hundred times. We couldnt catch,kick,pass,score from frees,get the ball to the ff line which probably was the one line that had the beating of their opponents,we pulled out of challenges, we spent €50k on a week in Algarve,we pay a Manager big expenses,we...... I could rant on and on and on  ...but no one in Ros cares anymore.

Well done to Sligo. Outfought and out thought Ross all over the pitch.
.
We were a shambles. Didnt have the heart for the fight and scoring 5 points in 70minutes is a woeful stat.

We wont have a run in qualifiers and are looking at been on the end of a right hammering by whoever we get.
If it quickens the departure of that idiot Maughan then it will be worth it.

Couldnt agree more on all counts. We were simply woeful - a team mentally and physically unprepared for Championship Football.
If this is what 2 years of Maughanism brings lets end it fast.
What a waste of €1m since November 2005.

About bloody time something was done to stop the abuse of kids.
In fact I would go further and now allow U18s to play U21 or allow U 16s to play minor etc.
If there are problems with numbers in specific Counties how about 13 a side or even 10 aside.

Our Co Minor team this year have been without our star sharpshooter from last year (Donie Shine) because he was playing so many games over Autumn/winter -colleges Adult club,u21 club etc etc.

Why hasnt Gwaytohell put in his spake on this subject???
Is he not upset that only so called Loyalists have guns now in the North East?

Sorry lad - don't want it as I have a football match to go to 

Unionist - at just under 20% of the island's population, they could be bothersome

Only "Could" be bothersom  - that would be a great advance on what they've been for the last 400 years

Peil - (gan Ros  ) = Tír Conaill
Iomáint =   na Cait.

As a neutral I feel that Sligo have a real chance of bringing off what most would see as a surprise win.  As regards the statement by Rossfan that they are All Ireland Champions, I thought the last time Roscommon won the Sam Maguire was in 1944!!!.

Ros won All Irelands - Senior 1943,1944.
                               Junior 1943,2000
                               U 21  1966,1978
                              Minor  1939,1941,1951, and 2006.
We are one of a small number of Counties who have won more than 1 All Ireland in all 4 Grades of Inter County Football. As far as I know Galway/Mayo/Cork/Kerry/Dublin/Meath and poss Tyrone being the others.   
As for a Sligo win being a surprise - No it wouldnt - it's anyone's game with two poor enough teams involved.
Indeed the best contest on the day could be the Best Tan competition between the Commandant and Captain Tantastic(O'Hara)

Bring back the straight knock-out... anyone?

NNNOOOOO

[and there is an All-Ireland in Dublin this year.

True for ya - the All Ireland will be payed in Croke Park which is in....

And we wore Tipp style ones.
We did the same again in 1980 (Revenge sweet revenge ).
Some Dublin Street seller got badly done.He was trying to flog a load of large photos of the Ros team from the Semi with the change jerseys and of course not one Ros person would buy

Anton Rogan ?

We were robbed as usual especially by that ****er who ran across in front of Dermot as he was taking the late 50 in the drawn game
We'd have won the Final of course
