Rossies v Kerry round 2, will Croke Park be playable?

[Jinxy]

One thing you're guaranteed when you have Paudie Hughes reffing a game, is that he will make damn sure everyone knows Paudie Hughes is reffing a game.

[Il Bomber Destro]

They could have left the engine running on the bus there.

[twohands!!!]

3 awful goals conceded by Roscommon.

Being taught a bit of a lesson today.

3-8 to 0-5 at HT

[knockitdown]

Are goalkeepers not exempt from black cards?

[imtommygunn]

They look very susceptible to the high ball in.

[Mayo Border]

Black card for Claffey? That's what the rules say, goal or no goal. Ross have arrived in top flight football. It's all about what they can learn from this.

[joemamas]

Tommy Carr was saying on radio 1 at the start of the match that Roscommon are better than people think and Kerry aren't as good as people think.
Another quote to add to the collection

Maybe he meant a different Roscommon, because this side have 1 score from play so far.

He just said that Kerry would not have scored those goals against a better team

[Jinxy]

Number 3 for Roscommon would want to go back and mind the house.

[Zulu]

That's a pity. I thought Roscommon might give this a rattle and I do think they have a decent team but a good few lads look short of what's required to be a top 4 IC footballer. Some of them probably have time to develop into one but unless they have a few very good players to return then they might find themselves in that group that challenge for honours most years but fall short.

Yes exempt. They should update the rule book

Not sure what I hate more - bad referees or blanket defences. Both blights on the game in equal measures

[twohands!!!]

They look very susceptible to the high ball in.

When Darran O'Sullivan is getting a goal off a high ball in, it's a bit more than susceptible.

[Gael85]

Kerry should win by 20+ now

[Jinxy]

Win the 2nd half for Paddy Joe.

[Zulu]

Good point on their full back line too. Roscommon seem to be playing a system that has them both short in the full back line and full forward line while still losing midfield - not sure what a lot of their players are meant to be doing.

A huge thing is how they react to this - Kerry are motoring seriously well for this time of year.
