Roscommon vs. Mayo - Connacht SFC Semi-final (Dr. Hyde Park, June 8th 2014)

[moysider]

Glad you posted that article Mayo4Sam. While O'Molloy may have indulged in a little 'crazy'stuff himself, most of it is on the money. Horan has done and is still doing a fantastic job. The way the boys dug out the win on Sunday had his hallmark stamped all over it. He has made mistakes and we all probably have at least one player we'd add to the squad but he has made this team so tough to beat and one to be proud of. I agree with O'Molloy in that we might only really appreciate cool cat (or should that be cap) Jimmy when he's gone.

All hail J! All Hail J!

Look at his name, he's just a Rossie lathering up poor James for a permanent fall later in the year.

Wha?

You ll have to help me out here Sy. I ve been drinking.

[Ballaghman]

Don't worry about it Moy, he's just another Rossie that's confused about where Ballagh's allegiances lie!
Back to the article, I'm not saying he's perfect, far from it, but I hope we don't hound a good man out of the job is all.

[Shrewdness]

Ballaghman, i'm afraid it's people like you that are confused by allegiances. There are two types of Roscommon people. There are those who support their own county, and then there  are those who think they're Mayo people. They're not, and never will be. All they are is Mayo sympathisers, and they'll never be anything else.

This was proabaly uttered about 100 years ago in whatever the equivlalent of a an internet forum was ( maybe a debating society) ,
" There are two types of British people. There are those that support the empire and those who think they are Irish people. They're not and never will be. All they are is Irish sympathisers , and they'll never be anything else" .

His articles are excellent. A lot of common sense, good insight into how a top intercounty player thinks, prepares and plays, and always a few good anecdotes for a laugh.

Moysider, the edit was my addition!

That was me. The point still stands with his comments on Feeney.

It was obvious O Molloy (where s he from ?)never heard of Evan Regan or he wouldn t have been able to say the following.

They will not find another elite forward because one does not exist, and anyway, they have two brilliant ones, Moran and O'Connor, and both have proven it on big days.

He's originally from Straffan, Co Kildare

[Ballaghman]

Brilliant article by O'Sé alright, would be encouraged a little after reading it too. I know from playing a bit of ball myself back in the day, it's one thing saying you're up for it but it's not until you're facing defeat that you know if you want it or not. Looks like the lads still have hunger if nothing else. (oh and I played ball in Mayo Shrewndess, just in case there's any confusion  )

Ah. That would explain the above blunder so.

Match stats are interesting viewing http://dontfoul.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/roscommon-v-mayo-2014-championship/

[Shrewdness]

Have read on a few sources that the expected length of absence for Donie Shine is approx 6-8 weeks. Ros missed the experience and influence of Karol Mannion last Sunday. Even if he had only come on as a sub for the last 15-20 mins, he would have been a steadying influence to the young lads.
