Best. Manager. In. 25 Years.

If nothing else, thanks for the laugh.
:D ;D :D
Best paid anyway.
Probably 3rd best manager we've had this decade.

Just curious who are the two better

Rossfan

Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Hint for you - not Des Newton.

What's the rationale for thinking Evans and o'donnell done better.

Rossfan

Poorer sets of players
And
4-24
4-24
4-12
4-19
And I forget the scores from March 2017...didn't Dublin get 2-32 or thereabouts.

FOD had underage AI winners.. Evans didn't win a single game of consequence in the championship bar Cavan, a team we can't seem to lose to no matter what.

You have a manager who didn’t make a Connacht final but won d2 and another who was in 3 beat Sligo to win a Connacht final and D1 semi I’ve a manager won d2, D1 semi l, 3 Connacht finals 1 win beat Galway.

A rationale based on scores conceded is a better barometer however.

Scores conceded lose matches ;)

Wonderful incorrect insight as usual.

Not weighing in on the rossies argument, leave them at it!! But stats in the main are a load of bollix in general for me. Roscommon got to the last two 1/4 finals without playing mayo or Galway? Look at monaghan, scoring stats probably look great but they played 3 division 4 qualifiers....Dublin similar, played Wicklow, longford and laois in Leinster...I'd be more inclined to take everything in context.

So we won all those games then?
Silly me -I thought we got hammered in 3 of them.

Your argument is sinking faster than the Lusitania, buckaroo.

Smart one liners by blinkered gasĂșns don't make McStay a better manager than Fergal or Johneen.

PadraicHenryPearse

Fergal you could have a decent debate about and I could fall either side of that. Evans... what did he do better than either of Fergal or McStay.

Itchy

There should be a thread for roscommon posters and it s g ould be locked from the outside when yer all in there.
