FBD in the bag, Hastings cup to follow, just how far can these boys go?
Mayo had their chances and blew it, Galway are like rabbits in the headlights of this juggernaut, Sligo and Leitrim don't even register on their radar anymore.
Nobody in ulster to challenge, they have the Indian sign over Kerry; will Dublin's millions be enough to slay the Primrose and Blue?? Seems unlikely
I don't believe there's an all ireland in them yet but connacht is theirs to lose tbh.
The one thing people are forgetting is Roscommon have won the euromillions , there is no other way to explain the financial turnaround from a begging bowl of a loan of a million from a supporter only a few years ago to a 100 million pound bus. The loan from the supporter got paid back by croker as far as I know too.
GaaBoard pulling the piss out of you is a vast improvement over the irrelevance of the late 00s.
Rhubarbs are getting a little uncomfortable methinks
Hate these sort of streams with the title 'Who can stop......' . They are one of the lowest forms of belittling a county. Really the subtext is 'We can't wait until you fall on your face (after building you up)'.
Ah now it wouldnt be mayos style to belittle anyone

Mayo will be well up for it when the ground hardens
At least 10 and maybe 4 more teams can stopus.

Roscommon. Enforced errors are always a killer for pumped up lads.
Counties should celebrate what they can - god knows the opportunities don't come around too often. I was delighted when Donegal won the McKenna cup a few years back, as at that time, it looked like it might be all we would win for some time to come.
Can't stand the desire some people have to belittle people's achievements. Ros could go on and win AI's or they might not win anything for 20 years; either way, I hope they celebrate their FBD victory and don't feel too cool to.

Matt Williams is interesting on twitter talking about rugby. I saw one tweet of his about NZ- he said they have skill, energy and razor sharp intent. If Evans can hone the skills and intent ye could do a lot of damage.

They could indeed. Most likely to themselves as usual I can tell ye the rest of us poor effers are doomed, double-damn doomed this year.

Roscommon's momentum reminds me of Donegal in 2012. By the quarter finals Joe Brolly will be proclaiming that no one will stop them.

The best Ballagh player there has ever been has a father that is such a true Rossie he won't even shout for Mayo when his son plays. Says it all about where even the poor players' hearts are really.
I've been convinced for a few years now that the Rossies were on the rise again and I still remember the late 70s when the primrose and blue ruled Connacht and gave us nightmares to last the winter. Now they've had a succession of very good minor and U21 teams and the key is to get these performing at a senior level.
I thought they were very disappointing last year in the defeat to Armagh as they were second best in so many areas that day but the signs are good this year so far It's a bit early to be showing your hand though and giving both Mayo and Galway a bit of a trimming in January will be remembered come June.
Still they will know that the true barometer of their current standing is that Armagh defeat and they'll be trying to keep momentum going through the league. It's important for young players to get into a winning habit as that breeds the confidence that's needed when games are in the melting pot.
Chimley, it's no harm to show your hand in January, as long as you have another one up your sleeve to produce in June/July!!. Donie Shine back in contention.

Kilcullen's transfer to Sligo was declared legal because his family is from Sligo. As far as I know it is not legal to declare for Roscommon if your family is from Ballaghaderreen even though Ballaghaderreen is in Roscomnon. It's in Mayo for GAA purposes. Sean Kilbride for example could not represent Roscommon until he moved residence from Ballaghaderreen. That said I think Roscommon GAA should test the waters here for players whose allegiance is Roscommon.
Well moysider I have some information that will put a slightly different light on the Ballagh issue,
now as far as I can see your position is the some old cronie decided to transfer Ballagh from Mayo to the Rossies years ago for whatever reason and Mayo are entitled to hold on to it regardless,but heres the thing,this old cronie did not stop there, in the very same local government act the town of Ballina was transferred from Sligo to Mayo, I accept you are a person of principle moysider so get out your black and white flag and start waving, oh and jinking Joe was a Sligoman.

Ardnaree was founded in 1921 as a subsidiary to Ballina Stephenites. They went on their own in 1949. Ballaghaderreen was founded BEFORE the 'land-transfer' ::) took place at all.

I never quite understand the argument about Ballagh .
It was in Mayo originally .
It changed over 100 years ago to roscommon.
So if your family are originally Ballagh you're Mayo and if you blew in from sheepwalk, fairy mount , out the dump road and any other ridiculous horrible eyesore of a townland heading out the town towards the big smoke you're goin to be an unfortunate Rossie ,the club stayed in Mayo and stood their ground against a few loyalist attempts to take over down the decades. Sin e.
Personally I have always felt Ballagh club players should have a choice for county , once you declare at u-16 level that's it and then there would be no horse shite talk from the likes of Syferus.
I always end the Ballagh argument on the same note ... If the govt hypotheticaly speaking decided to change Ballagh border this week into the Sligo region and build a town from say gurteen . Would you vision your kids supporting Sligo next year?
Muppet with nearly twenty thousand posts you'd nearly want to get yourself a job or a woman or maybe even go to the odd match
Hey Muppet, ye tell whatever story suits the occasion and thats the way it has always been, the ardnaree address is ardnaree, ballina , co. mayo, so before you call anyone a lier check my post and your facts and as always and as every rossie knows "ye cant take yere batin"

Nothing wrong with my history. The Moy used to be the border.
I was born on the west bank of the river Moy. Ballina is on the west bank and wasn t in Sligo. The Quay and Hungry Hill ( posher residents call it Ardnarree - where Jinkin Joe came from) and out to Bonnyconlon were however, but here's the thing, there were no football clubs in those territories at that time. When they did form clubs they were in County Mayo. Completely different dynamic to Ballagh.
Ballaghadereen club was formed before the 1891 Victorian initiative that was the Congested District Board. Back in the day when a Tory government was trying to kill 'Home Rule with kindness'. Ballagh was formed a Mayo club and thank God for respect for history.

There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and Mayo and Roscommon lads brawling over Ballaghaderreen. I never get tired of the last one.

A man has been questioned in connection with an incident at the Mayo constituency office of Fine Gael TD Michelle Mulherin.
The building in Ballina was affected by smoke damage after a small fire broke out yesterday evening.
A man in a primrose and yellow jersey said he claimed responsibility. He said he was reclaiming the historic town of Ballina for the proud shepherds of the Kazaknianish people. He stated that Ballina always belonged to the Kazaknianish and would once again be our make-glorious proud capital. He went on to say that people should learn their history and get their facts right.
A Roscommon spokesperson declined to comment but did manage an elaborate facepalm.
What about all the expensive phone calls to Roscommon, Michelle? The plot thickens!

We're already on page 4 after 48 hours!!. Don't remember as much commotion after Leitrim's FBD win last year. As we say in Ros, '' the best is yet to come'' !!
Don't be silly Shrewness. I guarantee ye I ll be typing about it; and I admit to a fair degree of winding up too. Who doesn t?
This craic has shortened the winter and next weekend will have a new distraction with the beginning of the league.
But you have to admit one or two posters do big up Ros a bit.
Let's see how the league goes. Championship, as ever, sorts the wheat from the chaff.
Cuthbert the Cork manager said last summer that Mayo were streetwise.
And they know how to slowly kill teams that are less cute even if they haven't yet landed the big one.
Ros are nothing yet. Lots of potential but nothing done.
I wouldn't have them as favourites for D2 either
What I would like to know from Syferus is how many all stars this juggernaut of a team has combined? Must be well into the 20s or 30s such is the quality of player available and the strength in depth? Cregger alone must have about 10 as nearly every year according to yourself he is a shoe in for player of the year

Most of them will be in the UL hall of GAA fame by March at the latest
The only ones blowing sh1te about Ros are various rhubarbs.
Seafoidin is then responding to their excretions by pointing out that we're not that great.
Quicker the NFL starts the better to keep ye bucks occupied :D

Real data. It is such a long time from September to February, isn't it ?

Question for deiseach (if he still bothers with this thread anymore) where would Waterford's footballing strongholds be based? Or is it like in Mayo for example (swap codes) you've a pocket surrounded by the main one.

I assume from your username that you are in favour of returning the Ballaghadereen area back to County Mayo, where it used to be. Very decent and fair of you.

Ah, fair play to ya, horse. That's some rant!
You know what? I don' disagree with a single word of it.
On the other hand, I can't agree with a single one either as I don't know WTF you're on about but it looks good.
Keep 'er lit and don't worry if it makes sense or not – after all, Rossfan and Syf have been talking through their anal orifices for years and it hasn't stunted their growth. ;D
Jasis Lareen some of ye Rhus are getting very grumpy.

And this is precisely why I'll never tire of the Ballagh 'debate'. Of course, it's easy to be flippant when it's about someone else. If the Tipp hatchetmen ever come looking for Carrickbeg they'd better bring something with more firepower than hatchets!

My best mate from Tramore puts it as "out the west or up the mountains"......Tramore being the notable exception the the east I think. Gaultier out the Dunmore road of the city would be the football club of Ballygunner I think, that right deiseach?...they'd have a few hurling lads

Mostly. Way out west is hurling terrain, clubs like Lismore, Tallow and Ballyduff Upper. Inbetween is football. Tramore, which if there was a parish would dwarf all other clubs (and should dwarf all other clubs anyway), is traditionally a football club but has now been reduced to the Junior ranks in both codes. My brother was talking to an old friend of his who is still heavily involved and he believes Tramore will be a hurling club in the near future.
I've got an image which illustrates the point but I can't post it up until later.

Ferrybank has always been part of Waterford. While craven politicians with their servile parish pump agendas may have succeeded in diminishing the city, it still predates any fantasy city further north or the hinterland around it.
Well done to our fellow Rossie, Mick Rock, on becoming the new president of the Connacht Council.. If everything goes to plan, it will be him who presents the Nestor Cup to his fellow Rossie, Niall Carty next July, probably in Mc Hale park.

I doubt Ye will agree to it. Even taking the FBD result as an almighty boost for yer Castlebar hoodoo , it will be Salthill the Kerryman will tell yer CB if Mayo can manage walshes fancy dans.

Any relation of James Rock who moved to Castlebar?
Finally a man who can curb the Prenty council. Mayo's dominance at an official level may be at its' end.
Don t bet on it. He ll be only a Patsy. President is an honorary position.
He may as well be President of Outer Mongolia for all the influence he ll have on John's autocracy. Bloody hell; the very idea!!

This is a (very general) map of the geographical spread of clubs in Waterford that someone posted to An Fear Rua back in the day. Green = football, orange = hurling. I'm sure that means something (edit: tweak with the contrast and they could be Rossie colours!) The city is mixed.

Another bitter gobda local. The reason I can't listen to Shannonside is not because of Willie (who has done a power of work with underage teams in Ros) but excerpts from Longford games and some really irritating co-commentator. Get yer own radio station banjo playing inbreds.

Charming...........really charming. Showing the class that
most some Roscommon posters here are noted for.
For the record Liam Tierney does drone on a bit (and his accent is almost Tom Cruise Longford) - but he was a top footballer in the late 70s/early 80s and played for Ireland in the Aussie rules fights in Croke Park of the mid 80s.

No - the class most Rossie supporters are known for here are commenting positively on good results Longford have got over the years such as u21 wins over Dublin etc. Unlike the snide drivel you post about the bus et al. If you have nothing decent to say don't post.
It 8s super to see the neighbours giving Bhfaca to to Cork and Kerry. I hope the good form continues into the summer and results in a quarter final at least. We need a Connacht all Ireland.
Rudi
If you can quote what insult I posted about the Roscommon bus (I goan even typing that) we will compare it to the vile nonsense you posted earlier today and let the forum decide which is good natured slagging and which is vile abuse.
Ok - deal?
I thought the biggest insult was delivered Liam Tierney's way, about his authentic Longford culchie accent being as fake as a Tom Cruise effort.
