Connacht senior football final Galway v Roscommon July 10th

[Lar Naparka]

Would be a remarkable achievement for Roscommon to win Connacht after what happened round one in New York however Galway after beating Mayo are hardly going to let this opportunity pass are they?

There 2010 Connacht title was more remarkable given they managed to avoid playing Galway & Mayo.

Hardly avoiding B when we do our part but both are so shite they can't get to the final.

I'd probably agree with you (as always) if only I knew WTF you're on about.
Any interpreters on the board?

Potted history.

Roscommon and Galway have met a total of 52 times in Connacht, with the maroon and white 30-18 ahead on victories, with four draws.

Broken dreams and crossbars.

Tragedy and long wet winter months of what ifs. Backstabbing and contempt. Dodgy refs and the weight of mediocrity.  The brutality of imbalance. And that is before going anywhere near the rhubarbs.  Roscommon football. You can't buy it.

Glad to be in the main event for a change. JP can have his fiver.

Collins out with a hamstring injury. Our best and most important back. Probably a straight choice between the talented but raw Mulhooly and Carty who hasn't played a minute of competitive football in 2016 to replace him. Advantage Galway..

I'm confused!? I thought Roscommon had at least 3 rolls Royce callibre of player for each position?  This is all we have been listening to the last decade nearly as this stage such is the depth of talent in all them minor and under 21 teams or is that just bulls!t!?

Another Roscommon man down with a hamstring injury, surely its gone beyond a coincidence at this stage?

[Cunny Funt]

Certainly advantage Galway. Roscommons defence far from great to begin with and now without their best and most physical defender makes them even weaker.

This box now blocked.

Collins only came on against Sligo, was he carrying knock at that stage?

Carty to come on and play the game of his life, losing 3 teeth in a superhuman  block to deny Galway a goal at the death only to find himself under a collapsing crossbar for a tragic death. Syferus writes a song about it. The day Ros lost by a point.
He becomes a saint.
