Seems Tipp and Clare may have to move to Ulster to strengthen it a little u;)

It can't always be summer.

In the past three seasons Ulster has taken 3/4, 2/4 and 3/4 of the qualifier places. There seems to be an awful lot of people rejoicing anomalies and outliers.

Ulster teams the only ones we have been able to beat in knockout championship the last five years. Says it all really.

They're also the ones who have dumped you out of the Championship.

All hail Tyrone.

With one more senior All Ireland in their history than Roscommon

How many of Tyrone's All Irelands were you alive for?

How many of Roscommon's were you alive for?

In fairness 3 AI's is a fairly mickey mouse return since 1884. Hardly good enough to get involved in a pissing contest

Dublin have won the same amount of All Ireland's as Tyrone in this millennium, with your limitless bank balance, huge player resources and eternal home game venues, you must be very disappointed with that mickey mouse return.

If Dublin had been the other side of the border it might have won 5 all Irelands

It might have won zero if this was the case.

As I said with 3 AI's you've no right to tell anyone how to play the game. None whatsoever so go back to bed and stop making a complete tit of yourself.

And neither have you with your paltry return in the past 25 years despite all the advantages you are given over every side.

Dublin would have still won that many All Ireland had they been in Ulster maybe more because they might have got a small bit of a challenge before knock out stages. Enough of this Ulster is hardest province shite, I think we have all seen how well Ulster sides have done this year. No better than any other province so come down off you're high horse

It can't always be summer.

Ulster is the toughest province, this year is an outlier with the statistics on hand since the qualifiers have been introduced.

All hail Tyrone.

So there is an asterix over the Tyrone form line because they hammered Cavan who were beaten by Derry who Tyrone also hammered? Ok the draw with Cavan Shows questionable form, but Galway drew with an awful Roscommon team....remember who Galway also beat  in Connacht? Form lines like this mean nothing in the GAA.

I think Tyrone have improved significantly from last year and beyond recognition from 2013. There is no evidence to suggest Mayo have improved this year so it will be interesting to see where they are at. But...they have performed in big games at Croke park before (not finals) and for me, are the most dangerous of the qualifiers. But let's wait and see what pans out next weekend before analyzing the quarter finals!

Oh yeah obviously Galway are even more blown up again. The Cavan thing is a sidenote really, the quality of the Ulster final would be more of a concern.

Do you think Tyrone are at a level to beat Mayo if Mayo were up to their level from last year's AISF yet, or are they still a little off that?

Yes.

Mayo will be a tough nut but I think Tyrone have more pure footballers than Mayo, I think we are in better physical condition and we are much tactically assured. If we can break even around the middle of the pitch we will win, there seems to a real dependence on O'Connor frees with Mayo and I think Mayo's shooting from distance is quite poor which is something they will need to develop to beat Tyrone.

One thing I have noted about Mayo is how uncomfortable they are hitting the ball off their weaker foot which is in direct contrast to the comfort Tyrone players have kicking off either foot.

Is DD Mulgrew still on the Tyrone panel?

not sure of as some one said apart from the cavanaghs they have 13 identical players doing identical things

??

The way around this is abolishing replays and going with extra time.

However the 6 day turnaround is the lamest excuse around. Clare played 7 days ago, if a team wants to sit around licking their wounds for the week after a defeat then they get what they deserve.

Bomber Destro stop making a show of yourself. Focus on your own county Tyrone and stop occupying your mind on Roscommon just because some Roscommon poster upset you one time on here.

There wasn't just one pedalling fantasies after you had your arses handed to you in the u21 last year.

Were you born fragile or developed it into your adult life? If the latter a internet discussion forum isn't the place for you.

Fragile?

No, I'm not from Roscommon.

All hail Tyrone.

I think the management are getting off very lightly, I feel sorry for the some of the players as they've been heavily let down by the men in charge. McStay/FoD have had a lot time to prepare Roscommon defensively for the championship and the Kerry league semi final should have been a wake up call but it looks like they totally ignored what went on that day. At what point do you stop been unlucky with injuries? I've never heard of a team with so many hamstring injuries, there's something clearly not right.

Its not all doom and gloom though with the two Murtaghs's and the two Smith's and Harney there's a lot of potentially good forwards and in D Murtagh potentially one of the best in the country.

Management are getting off lightly because it's their first year. They retained Division One football. Look, yesterday was Roscommons third week out in a row! After losing a connacht final badly they had 6 days to get the show back on the road.

It's a total disgrace that Roscommon who were in reality punished for getting to a Connacht final and drawing it. Thems the breaks!

They had to beat New York, Leitrim, Sligo and Clare to get to an All Ireland quarter final. I'd have little sympathy for them when you compare and contrast it with the path Donegal have to achieve the same.

How many of Roscommon's were you alive for?

They all count pal.

Some of them are a lot more relevant to the state of today's affairs than others.

For instance, we have a three time All Ireland winner captaining us while without meaning to sound glib, Roscommon's All Ireland winners are pushing daisies.

Don't know what glory some lads getting from dancing on Ros grave. If I went around to gloat at other counties misfortune because some poster annoyed me, I'd consider myself a sick individual. So cop on those couple of posters from Sligo and Tyrone; you are little credit to your county either.

Congrats to Clare - the final score flattered us. It was a debacle of a game really, like a bad club game, error strewn game, with big lugs hassling players from the sideline and poor refereeing decisions. It's stuff like that puts young lads off playing football and turns supporters away.

Unfortunately our season was one long continuation of that last move against New York when we slowly came out with the ball, afraid to make a mistake, didn't know what to do with the ball other than give a bad pass to the nearest player.

One can also see now how smart the Mayo players were when they objected to McHale. Good management takes the blame when things go wrong; ours blames the players.

I hope we realise now as a county that the likes of Tony McManus and Shane Curran should never be listened to. Loud mouths who were very quick to stick the knife into John Evans. I hope the sight of Liam Kearns leading a Tipp team severely short of resources to the last 8 hammers home to them that they know absolutely fecking nothing about football.

But we are a small county, with a small pick, and I still believe we have our most talented players in a generation. The likes of Mullooly, Murtagh, Harney, Compton all U21 this year, Smith, Corcoran et all, just 22. They and the supporters all will have better days.

Anyway big congrats to Clare; big congrats to Tipp, and the best of luck to our remaining Connacht representatives in the All-Ireland championship.

Right guys.

The Roscommon lads want cuddles and violins anymore after they exit the championship with a whimper with all the bluster and hot air that goes with them.
