NFL Division Two 2022

[Rudi]

I actually would agree that the Rossies (or Galway) shouldn't be putting too much store in the final. Promotion was the priority and with that achieved, albeit courtesy of a controversial home draw against a team that was in division 4 two years ago and a win against an already promoted Galway, there is little point in risking first choice players in the final. It would be a nice touch to give those who have got, or are likely to get, little game time this year a runout at Croke Park.

I'd say the two recent Connacht titles for Roscommon is a surprise to many, given Roscommon's anonymity at the business end of the season, but they are also an indicator that the big hitters treat Connacht titles in the same way Roscommon treat div 2 finals.

Totally agree. A couple of flukey Connacht titles when Mayo and Galway have taken their eye off the ball does not make roscommon a superpower. They are a few points below Galway as a team and about 10 behind Mayo. They are nowhere near good enough to be turning up their noses at a league title.

Really displaying your ignorance, and what's worse is your confidence in your ignorance!

A Roscommon vs Derry fixture would be interesting this summer.

If it happens, hopefully its televised so the Derry wans get to see it Referee will need eyes in the back of his head & maybe 1 each at the sides too. Could be an idea to have a camera & a wire on Crissy for the full game.

Why would a Roscommon native be allowed to ref? Surely should be neutral no?

Id say thered be more entertainment if the cameras were on you you clown 😂😂

not a bad retort for a Derry man in fairness. Any sign of Nell McCafferty aka Lenny

What did he do? Keep seeing him mentioned on here.

🤣🤣🤣 post of the year!

 No d.comer for today😔 injured again.

[Farrandeelin]

No d.comer for today😔 injured again.

He's 'doubtful' for the Mayo game I believe.

[An Fhairche Abu]

No d.comer for today😔 injured again.

His hamstrings are disaster zones.
He was poor enough starting out this league, but he got a run of games and came roaring back into form. He'll be back to square one again even if available for Mayo match which is the big problem.
He just cannot stay fully fit, it's a huge issue for Galway since we just don't have a wealth of players who when on form are real difference makers, he makes life a lot easier for other players alongside him, I'm looking at the list of players who will have to come in instead, no heavy scorers there really, Comer was getting at least a goal a game.
It seems like it was known that Comer was injured and unable to play well before now, why bother listing him to start at all?

He hobbled off early in second half up in Owenbeg.
If it is another hamstring issue as has been reported then 100% why would you bother naming him to start. Nobody in their right mind would play somebody two weeks after hobbling off with any sort of hammer problem - especially three weeks out from your biggest game of the year.

Ref blind there, Conroy pulled him back as Harney went to kick it, 21m free.

[Wildweasel74]

As much as it's important players get to play in Croke Park, I think these finals should be played closer to home for the teams, fans closer in and bigger attendance give more atmosphere to the games.

Cynical fouling from Galway, pretty much going unpunished

[twohands!!!]

Conroy looks like he has MOTM in the bag already with his 5 points.
Neither manager will be happy with the turnovers - a lot of poor/bad quality turnovers on both sides.
Kickouts a bit of a lottery at both ends.

Of the two Galway are the more organised in defence. Roscommon giving some amount of room and space to the Galway shooters especially Conroy.

[Rudi]

First instinct by Galway when they lose the ball is to foul, its ridiculous what they're getting away with. Not a dirty team just cynical.

Some shooting from Conroy
