Not his finest day.
Anyway Connacht is done and dusted.
Ros worthy Champions.
Leitrim will be happy enough.
Galway will shrug the shoulders and move on to the AI series.
Mayowestros - hype over, maybe hope as well?
Sligo a disappointing campaign.

Our lads have to park it from tomorrow and get ready for a mammoth task against the tough oul Tyrone's who'll be well ready for us.

Still it was great to win it and in some style.

Christ almighty, there hasn't been hype in Mayo since 2021, but still every year you have people trotting it out.
It's been a dismal few years and no sign of that improving, quite the opposite.

Jases lads it was some win, some day and night.
Some 10 or 12 days, 3 Conbacht titles..
Pinch me to see if I'm just dreaming about it all.

Fair play, great times for the Rossies

What has happened to Sligo?

Great win for us. All the sweeter getting it so late.

They had a good man in Tony McEntee and replaced him with Eamon O'Hara

Congrats Roscommon, thought Galway were in for a right trimming at half time. Game was lost in first half with the half arsed tactics of pressing Carroll's kickouts, Joyce 100% to blame for that; Setup was diabolical and should never happen again, can't win a game like that.

Who's the clown who said Comer knew what he was at, never a free in the first place. Watched the game with plenty of neutrals who wanted Roscommon to win who all agree Hurson was riding Galway. Thats not the 1st time Galway have been on the wrong end of a really poor decision by Hurson in the final moments.

But it's Galway's own fault, kickouts in first half  along with bizare selection of Molloy, Roche and O'Flaherty who were all poor come back to haunt Galway. Didn't expect any of 3 to see any game time never mind start, Molloy had a shocking league.

But there are positives, when early in the 2nd half when it looked like they'd be well beaten they dug in deep and dominated for 20 minutes and took control.

Just seen the kick out stats, says it all.

It depends when the ref blew the whistle, couldn't tell from telly. If it was blown for initial challenge/foul, then Comer stopped Roscommon taking the quick free and the 50m was warranted.

Delighted that showboater Finnerty ended up on losing side. Looking for adoration after a score in the first couple of mins. He was well snuffed out as the game went on.

Have the Rossies ever seemed stronger across the board? Fair play to them.

Not too sure if Bearna could be considered Gaeltacht from what I know of it, but 4 is decent representation, it used to be mainly north Galway

[who was the linesman? He could easily hold his hands up and admit he's made a mistake after reviewing the evidence.]

Category III Infractions

"5.17 To strike or to attempt to strike an opponent with arm, elbow, hand or knee with minimal force."

After seeing the footage (especially the sideline footage) I'm actually surprised Roscommon bothered to appeal this. Unless there was some sort of procedural error, there wasn't a hope in hell this was going to be over-turned.

You need another look at the footage then as it was pushing his marker out of the way something that's regularly done in games than a strike or to attempt to strike an opponent.

Thought they'd take it to the DRA, suppose they still can.

Its a farce of a decision.

In fairness its not Brendan Cawley to blame her, who was the linesman? He could easily hold his hands up and admit he's made a mistake after reviewing the evidence.

Christopher Ryan from Galway. And they should take it to the DRA now.

Christopher Ryan no surprise so.
Sent two players from my club off in the first half of a club championship game a few years back in separate incidents. Both decisions overturned on video evidence as there was nothing in either incident.
He's a liability

Appeal being heard tonight apparently

Time for Prenty to start his retirement.
He's a good administrator I've no doubt, but he's a dinosaur who is too stubborn and too out of touch.

3 double bogeys for Lowry, no getting away from that.

Unbelievable restraint shown by protestors against the garda vermin with their pepperspray and balaclavas.

Living up to the south Armagh stereotype

The leaders of these protest groups are scumbags

Could this be a premature April Fool's Day joke ?

Mixed feelings about this if it's for real.
Will definitely pack Croker but many of us still hanker for Championship games in Croke Park in August and September.

My thoughts precisely. The height of summer in what used to be prime GAA season, and all that will be seen in croker is a friendly soccer match between two English clubs.
There'll be wall to wall newspaper and radio build up and coverage.
And my own son will be mad to go, so I'll probably be there myself
