Lack of leaders in the Roscommon team. No one in the forwards willing to take responsibility and take a shot in that last attack injury time. Bizarre and depressing to watch. Why play a blanket defence with a gale force wind in your back?

at least there was no diving

The game was crying out for somebody with the craft to engineer a defining score. Both Galway and Roscommon need to unearth some quality forwards for the replay.

Was that scoring opportunity really on? From what I seen Galway had numbers back and weren't going to allow Roscommon to get a shot off.

Both sides were poor with the gale force wind at their back and I don't think either side can say they deserved to win that game. The replay can only get better.

Very easy for lads sat at home with know idea of how truly terrible conditions were to say someone have a go at the end. At best it would have only reached goalies hands with that wind against us and then what pray ref blows it up before Galway hit us on break??
Bullshit comments from lads not in salthill. Lads done right thing and kept ball in hand

There was no scoring opportunity on. They would have been crazy to go for a longshot in case it dropped short and gave Galway another chance to come down the field. Roscommon did well to get a replay under the circumstances.
Expect that Ros. will win replay.

Ye can if ye choose to do so.

I expect Galway's bandwagon to dissipate a bit on Saturday, playing away from home and after a dour first match. Doubt it will effect our turnout massively though so we should have a clear advantage in the stands. Any edge might be enough to swing this one.

If there is a double header with Mayo, there won't be much!

"adorable first match", what does that mean?

A dour. Autocorrect.
