The Official Roscommon Thread

A dishonourable one maybe

[Croí na hÉireann]

Good man Croi. I can see we`re going to have a bit of craic on here over this, but that`s all ye`ll
be getting from us. We sent ye down to Division 3 last year and
will repel ye again.

That was the kick in the stones that we needed. Thanks. See you in 2 next year. We will spare your first born as an act of good faith, we are not merciless. Divide et Impera.

[Ringfort]

I'd say it's all more or less decided on. Just needs rubber stamped. Submitting objections to Mullingar says it all. Where is Ros CoCo in this? We are given wind of this when it's already too late. We should be looking to to take back the left bank of athlone not retreat out to brideswell. As if they will listen to the ordinary people! This is the way of world unfortunately.

Who are the 2 Roscommon players transferring to Castleknock in Dublin?

[Rossfan]

Probably work up there? Who are they?

Was at funeral in Cloonbonniff on Friday, the Rossies I spoke to seemed very upbeat about holding onto their bit of land but pessimistic about their chances of staying in Div 1, seemed to think the Monaghan games was a make or break game. Pretty much the opposite of what lads on here are saying

[Ringfort]

You might get a few people on the internet being 'optimistic' about staying up in Div 1 but in conversation people tend to be more realistic. Roscommon, a division 3 level team for years. It would take an unbelievable set of results to see us survive. While we have potential and have improved a bit recently we are still well outside 'the top tier' sides in terms of experience and know how, evidenced in how Monaghan shot an injury time 1-2 yesterday to close out a game that was theirs for the taking since they pulled the first goal back early in the second half.

I would be over the moon if we survived but not too devastated if we remain competitive at least in the rest of our games. We will be underdog in every single one of them and rightly so.

[Jinxy]

Ye should never have gone up in the first place.

We met the necessary criteria and beat youse f@ckers.

They mainly shot the goal because of a kickout malfunction and the last point because we had to commit many men forward. It wasn't really a remarkable finish by a 'top team' in any sense. Only the equalizing point by Monaghan really meets the narrative you set up there, which of course defeats the point of it when it's only a single point. We're not controlling the controllables - we did it in Sligo and Fermanagh last year and again yesterday. We learnt from the Sligo game to name a fit 15 but we have yet to learn the lesson of closing games out.

We're not as far away from these teams as you seem to suggest.

Enda Kenny said there'd be no land grab. Now I'm really starting to worry.

No closure of the A&E he said five years ago.
