Shocking stuff, Mayo 2-5 to 0-0 up, Mayo bullying ros around the middle, mannion looks sluggish and ros midfield non existant, mayo winning every break, forwards look clueless, missed 2 sitters, Kilcoyne having a stormer.

Roscommon are dead duck at the min..

Cruel stuff!. How any team can go out and give a performance like that in a championship is beyond me!

18 points down at half time. I know people will use youth, rebuilding as excuses for this hammering but Ros body language from dot was terrible - they look bet before the started. There seems to be no tactical nouse on the line, no subs used. No fight on the pitch. Ros are a shocking rabble. I think the manager has to take some blame here surely motivation is a key responsibility of management. Mayo are going out hard 100% on the throttle, just like they should. Fair play to them.

SLIGONIAN · June 20, 2009, 05:51:54 PM

Its a collective blame, and all sides need to look at themselves.

Ive been totally unconvinced by this myth that because ros won the minor in 06 they will be strong, but there not even close imo, they beat Leitrim who were down to the 4th choice free taker and only scrapped a win. Ros at senior are poor and have been last few yrs simple, the older players arent leaders and thats the problem especially on the field. There in serious danger of wasting the underage talent coming through.

This doesnt do mayo any favours either, mcgarrity and hartes points just there no one within 15 yrds, any time the ross backs are close they foul or over commit themselves, not sure mayo will have has handy against us or galway. Mayo might be a different kettle of fish kicking under pressure.

Looking back on the 1st half, cardinal sin having no man sitting in the pocket as sweeper under high ball. You never commit all your defenders to high ball and that is a defenders ability to read the game not much the manager can do although if maybe put a man in front of fb line as a tactic before the game.. but Sligo and galway will have to stop the supply and come up with a gameplan to curtail that.

Looks to be a poor enough crowd, or have all the rossies left $:-\$ ,

Just back from the game.
One word for Roscommon:

PATHETIC !

And they blamed John Maughan?

It was the worst inter county display that I have seen in a long time. A lot of Mayo clubs would have taken Roscommon today.
