Connacht senior football final Galway v Roscommon July 10th

[imtommygunn]

Yup teams have so much pace the only way to stop them is park the bus and that is Gaelic Football today

get used to it

The problem is not the style of play, the problem is poor teams like Roscommon today who try and play this way despite them clearly not having a clue to implement this.

Did Roscommon get their management team in through a FAS scheme?

Same in soccer eg Norn Irn

No it's not it's the exact opposite. Norn iron have a system where everyone knows what they're doin. They are not great but they play a system which works for them.

The problem with blanket defense is that many counties perceive that getting numbers back is enough. It is not about numbers it is about everyone knowing what they are doing.  Stopping defenders attacking, stopping runs through the middle, being there to push players out etc etc.

Replay next Sat in McHale Park.Time to be confirmed

And if Mayo get drawn at home in qualifiers? Will they go for a double-header which would give a full house probably, or schedule mayo match for Sunday?

With the losers playing their R4 match the next week it will be the Mayo match that gets played Sunday in that scenario.

If good sense prevails.

Anyone giving out about how bad that game was should have stepped foot in salthill today. Was worst conditions Iv seen in ages. The wind was like a fooking hurricane.
Our tactics were a disaster afraid to shoot in first half and with wind on our backs. Don't no why we decided play with it in first half.
Impossible play against wind in second half Galway played 14/15 men in there own 45 and next impossible score from anywhere outside 25 metres. Glad game is in castlebar next week.
Also taught we couldn't buy a free off ref not first time he favourited Galway

Left that behind us, Roscommon will be happier to get the draw out of the match as Galway should have been able to comfortably see that out.

[yellowcard]

That was an absolutely shocking spectacle.

Don't think you can give out about the referee, the most obvious mistake he made was not awarding Cummins a free in front of goal in the second half when he was hit in the face by the Roscommon defender. Marty Morrisey bizarrely called it a good tackle at the time. Roscommon were trying to engineer soft frees throughout the second half, Cregg in particular just ran into defenders and threw himself to the ground on a few occasions.

Lane is a horrific ref and definitely should have allowed Roscommon an advantage near the end but he wasn't a factor today.

Tuam is better weather wise and access wise. Salthill should be sold to the rugby team. The weather could be used to intimidate visiting teams.

That is what I am hoping happens.

Even on replay himself and Dessie were saying how cleanly the defender won the ball when you could see Cummins was actually fouled. Hit on the face and then the arm. The defender didn't actually touch the ball at all.

Gary Sice was some joke before the start of the second half trying to belt Seanie Purcell in the face..

McStay needs to do some serious work on the Rossie's conversion rate in the hot-zone.

[Itchy]

Remember the film "being John malcovich". I'd like to see a film called "being Syphillis", to see the world through his eyes would be quite an education.

They didn't get the ball into the honey pot enough today.

The rock, Bomber. Call it the rock.
