Yeah a decent watch and both sides fairly evenly matched so far. Would expect this to go to the wire.

Fair play Monaghan,  last 15 minutes it's been men against boys.

Yeah once the goal went in it was game over.

2 points in before the goal and then ended up with a 10 point winning margin.

Monaghan won the 2nd half 1-15 to 0-7.

Congratulations to Monaghan 1-26 to 0-19 winners the goal directly after a Roscommon shot dropping short set them on their way while the rossies faded badly

[Rossfan]

And the kick out after the goal went to a Monaghan man and another point conceded.
Instead of a 0-1 for us it became a 1-1 for them.

Seeious question marks about fitness levels, team management and coaching after that tonight.

Or have we a cunning plan......

Great win for Monaghan, really pulled away in the end. Have to admit I was a bit worried after we left a few points on the board in the 1st half with some poor handling/unforced errors leading to turnovers. And then especially midway through the 2nd half when it was very tight and we had a string of a few wides in a row - but then we got the well worked goal, and didn't look back after that really. Encouraging part of it all is how we kept creating enough chances that those scores came.

Was delighted to see young Dylan Byrne get MotM - he only made his debut this year, was our only ever-present outfield player in the league, and he capped off his first appearance in Croke Park with a performance like that and a Div 2 medal. One of many young players to have broken through in the past few seasons, and become key players fast. Other good performers were Bannigan who led by example up front, Mohan who put in a ton of work around the middle, Beggan who was influential at both ends of the pitch, McCarron who was key in putting the game to bed. Many others in 2nd half especially who impressed though.

Main thing was always to secure promotion, but national titles are rare in Monaghan so it's nice to lift a trophy in HQ, keeps our 100% record in Div 2 finals too. On to Ulster in a few weeks where a tougher challenge awaits. We'll be big underdogs regardless but I'd say this group will have a good crack. Playing some nice football this season, but we'll need to tighten things up in defence to have any chance. Not sure how long until Killian Lavelle returns, but he's a big loss back there.

Monaghan were tight at the back but even when there were gaps and the Roscommon lads didn't feed the man in space.

Monaghan finished it off so well though.

Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words "I have a cunning plan" marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

When yer manager told the goalie to kick the ball dead to enable the half time break it summed it up.

As mentioned by someone a few weeks back Ross are still very much waiting in the long grass and are dark horses for Sam.

Still think a 2pter free not a skill compared to the same from play.

Does the Monaghan jersey look like it has a poppy

Monaghan had the game won when the Rossie kicked the ball 'to touch' instead of going for the point before ht.The 2nd half was all about Monaghan, the goal was scored long after that fact was obvious.
I think the Londoners will have watched that game with great interest. Unfortunately I don't think anything out there will have prepared us in earnest for our first game in the  Ulster Championship.

Whoever was going on here about Beggan not being as involved in outfield matters after the latest rule adjustment was right, in fact both goalies didn't venture much  and Beggan only in the latter stages. 

Credit to the bearded Rossie who scored a lovely point (the 8th?) in the first half with the outside of his left boot.
