Selector along with David Casey and Stephen Bohan. Maybe he'll be the trainer, who knows.

Hmmm. Not like you not to know everything
Maybe he's just minding Robin's back.

They managed to unwrap the package so

Makes you wonder what was in the package that Paddy would not divulge 12 months ago   The 3rd secret of Fatima was not buried in mystery half as fast. It was suggested as being beyond even consideration. What was that about?

There's an interview with Fergal O'Donnell in Tuesday's 'Roscommon Herald' where he says the plan is to turn Ros into a top eight championship team on a consistent basis.

You realise that's no good. Top 2/3 no good either. Eugene McGee will pour scorn  on ye when his radar picks ye up again.

The Co Board website tells us that the 2 boys will be "assisted by Stephen Bohan with David Casey and Liam McHale as coaches....."

What is the progress Roscommon hope to make next year? Obviously survival in Division 1 would be the immediate priority, and then what? Would beating Sligo, but lose a Connacht final be progress? Or would beating either Mayo or Galway in the Connacht final be the real barometer of how next season is judged?

Sy. reckons that they're not expected to stay in division 1. I suspect though there is a difference between media types expecting them to be relegated and their own expectations. 2 different things.

Roscommon and Down were quite mediorce in the Div 2 League , despite being promoted. The year before Monaghan and Donegal were a step above the other teams.

Think Roscommon have a better chance then the so far managerless Down, of staying in Divison 1 next year.

No great expectations about staying up. Being competitive would be enough. Maybe we sneak a couple home wins and give ourselves a chance when ye roll up at the Hyde but getting experience at D1 and not being trashed around like Westmeath were will hardly have many in the county crying into their drinks.

Staying up would be unreal but we've enjoyed enough league success that we know we need a championship run more than anything else. Making an AIQF is a more critical target than staying in D1 imho.

The same old tripe is being trotted out again, before last years league there was a huge element in Ros saying we would do well to avoid relegation, yes we made hard work of promotion but some mystery selections and substitutions by the now departed John Evans especially against Galway and Laois made what should have been a routine task hard.
This team now has another year under its belt, it will stand to us big time in the enormous task ahead. we have 4 home games which is a help, my call is we will survive and maybe with a bit of luck make a league semi-final, believe, the best is yet to come.

[Shrewdness]

Local media in Ros are reporting this week, that former goalkeeper, Geoffrey Claffey, has returned to the Roscommon Senior Panel after a couple of years absence. It will be interesting to see if any other former players, of recent years, make a return, as it's believed that several were contacted by our new management.

Rumours of around 100 asked to come on board.
One lad from a particular club declined as (allegedly) "That would interfere with me pints at the weekend"
