What exactly is it that has Sligo people all worked up about positive vibes? Don't recall any of those returning players ever doing much of note, and the majority of Gaa fans in other counties have never heard of most of them!!! If the vibes in Sligo are positive, they must be gone off the Richter Scale in Roscommon

Frankie Dolan and Jimmy Sice are both appearing at a disciplinary hearing of the Connacht Gaa tonight in Ballyhaunis. Frankie being tipped today by many to get a lengthy ban.

Seanie....We knew those dates and fixtures in Roscommon 2 weeks ago!!!!. I think it is a worthwhile competition, because it gives managers a chance to try out new players etc.

Matt, i know that Senan Kilbride has had his injuries problems, but to be honest, from the inter county perspective, i wouldn't rate him at all. Would like to see Kilcommins given a go at full back. What age is he?

It has to be Karol Mannion's goal against Corofin last Sunday. The player himself has said that he went for goal, because with them being 2 points down, and only a minute of injury time left, he knew that anything less than a goal wouldn't be good enough. Ciaran Mc Donald/Gardiner's goal was down to sheer naive, bad defending on Ballaghaderreen's part.

I think it's very unfortunate that St.Brigid's wonderful achievement in winning the Connacht title, has been overshadowed on this board by the whole Dolan/Sice incident. Let's draw a line in the sand and let it all die down....Also agree with you Matt about Ros senior set up. I think there's a bit of a vacuum in Ros at the moment. I say this because i don't think our current senior panel are up to much, the minors are too young and physically immature for senior inter county football yet....and in between there doesn't seem to be anything of note coming through. A lot of people seem to think that Ros are a banker to be in 2007 Connacht Senior Final.....I wouldn't be one of them i'm afraid.

GBB.....I also found it fascinating that you said it wasn't a great game, even though you weren't at it. Your fellow county man, Martin Breheny, described it as a first class game, and he WAS at it. Mr Sice should not have been on the pitch. I didn't see him carrying any water in this incident, and if he was on to attend to his son, what was he doing confronting Frankie??. It's not very long ago, that our Mayo and Galway friends on this board, were having a great discussion on another thread about the wonderful Connacht Final we were going to have between Crossmolina and Corofin!!!!. It was going to be the game of the year, with the winners favourites to win the All Ireland. Now, we have people making derogatory remarks about Ros clubs when, believe it or not, we have a club who beat Crossmolina AND Corofin.Seems like some of you Galway boys are suffering a severe dose of Rossieitis, which i suppose is understandable.
