Mayo v Roscommon put back to 2:30pm
There will be another pitch inspection at 12:30 so not definite that it will go ahead at all

Just announced on Mad Whest Radio that the game is officially going ahead after an inspection 

Yes but to allow the pitch to thaw they have put back the throw-in until March.

Big win for Mayo and the Fianna Fail government collapses, you must be orgasmic Peter.

Well from a Roscommon point of view.... excellent 1st half could/should have been leading by 4/5 points (loads of goal chances missed) 

2nd half awful from us, seem to give up after the mayo goal? only 1 point in 30+ mins = a defeat every time.

Main cause of concern is the Donal Shine hand injury hopefully nothing serious.

Sounds like a good performance despite a slow start, 15 changes and so many others unavailable. Hope a few of the new lads have put their hands up for a game or two in the league.

Speaking of which, with so many being tried out this year, its likely that we'll have to continue the experimentation well into the league to get a feel for who is genuinely up to championship football. If that was to cost us our Division 1 status, I wouldn't mind at all as long as we learnt from it and had the 15 best available on the field for the championship.

I told you we would hammer them.

Seriously, can we not do something about this lad, he isn't even good comedy anymore.

How many of that Mayo team today would be first 15? for Roscommon about 5 i would say.

We have problems

Sligo 0-13 NUIG 3-9

Very harsh scoreline as we dominated for long periods and played some entertaining attacking football. Game started off with Pat Hughes straight threw on NUIG keeper only to kick it straight at him, then NUIG went up a got a sharp goal.  The 2 mayo corner forward were very sharp and slick and it took us a while to get to grips but our problems were in midfield and HB line. It was 1-2 to 0-1 and then at HT it was 1-7 to 0-6. Sligo outscored NUIG in the first 25 mins of 2nd half 6 to 2 to level 1-9 to 0-12 and sligo missed a 20yard free, 3 goal chances, one a decent save, 2 other just wide, maye just missed 2 frees aswell in that 25 min spell. When Sligo drew level with a brilliant  brehony point 5 mins left and sligo on top everywhere, a normal person would think sligo win but typical sligo. 2 long balls over ross donovan into his man equals 2 goals, game over.

Our corner backs keep making fatal errors, M Quinn nailed down the CHB postion with a very asured performance, Harrison did well wing back, Midfield non existant for us, but Gilmartin did well for them,  moftm was marren, absolutely destroyed the NUIG defence time and again, won 50/50 ball, looks seriously sharp and confident, costello did well when introduced and got a trademark score, brehony was very good aswell, kennedy at corner back did well for long spells but like ross we cant afford laspses. Gilsenan did fine at FB imo but need to see more of him there. EOH did well at CHF.

For the NFL i can see us conceding a few heavy scores and i dont think we have the midfield to get enough ball into forwards to outscore teams.
