Connacht senior football final Galway v Roscommon July 10th

[rrhf]

Choosing to Watch Roscommon is like Volunteering for an enema. Next time it's the tennis.  Will mc stay still stay with them for the replay. As brolly says useless. Mayo will take care of the pick of them if a later meeting occurs. To hell or Connaught never seemed truer.

Just watched this game now, two poor teams. Like a bad club match where both teams think they should play a blanket defence but have no idea how to do it and are completely clueless about how to move from defence into attack. The games moved on lads, keep up! I don't usually agree with Joe Brolly but "Roscommon are useless" was bang on the money!

All of the qualifiers will be praying for the Connacht champions in the draw. I don't see either Galway or Roscommon getting past the quarter final stage.

Neither team would get by an Ulster first round. The angry grey minions Longford must be hoping for these guys in the draw. Twice the team. Black weekend for Connaught football.

Great to see some big talk from Ulster. Pity it rarely happens on the field..

I don't think Roscommon have much of a reputation of doing their talking on the pitch to be fair. Anyway,  I thought you were one of the ones always complaining about Tyrone being full of talk on the pitch.

Now that Roscommon have made it into playing in games that neutrals have an interest in watching, you will have to accept, that when you play an awful brand of football, you will get called on it.

Would Longford get by an Ulster first round?
Today in Connacht Final was a bit like Ulster but with more wind and rain.

Exactly. How did they get along earlier in Leinster? Longford have not won a Leinster since Larry was a kid yet they take out Ulster champions.
It doesn't add up does it? A lot of stuff in football and sport don't add up. That's what makes it so interesting I suppose?

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.

Bullshit comment rosconmon beat the bollox of Cavan last two years in championship that's same Cavan team that brought Tyrone to replay. As I said unless you were at game and seen conditions first hand don't consent cause your only making yourself look like a clown

We have all went out in the rain before.

Great reply. Have you ever been in salthill on a day like yesterday? Anyway nice see you had no comeback when I pointed out we have bet shite out of both Cavan and Down in last few years clearly making your original statement show you up to be a clown. Galway have also beaten Ulster teams in recent years.
Ulster football is shore end of story. We all seen what a D3 side like Longford can do to the reigning champions of that Micky mouse province up there.

Rain is nothing putting a fn pitch 400m from the sea is ludicrous it ain't lanzarote down there
Ros had a strong wind for first 10 mins then it died to barely a gust for rest of half.
Then at ht it piissed and it became as strong a wind as i ever seen a team play against
Genuinely thought Ros would get beaten by 7 or 8 points in 2nd half Galway left it behind them.
Shows u how bad salthill is when Sligo didn't want to play connacht final there last year and ros don't want to play replay there preferring to go to prentys pitch and help pay towards its black hole debt gauls us.

Fair enough, But the weather doesn't explain why you play with 15 men behind the ball with a gale force wind at your back. The weather doesn't explain why, time after time, there was nobody supporting the man in possession off his shoulder, criminal if your playing a defensive system with men behind the ball. The weather doesn't explain really poor decision making in when facing a defensive wall hoofing the ball wide on numerous occasions. But sure you beat Cavan a few years ago then you should be fine.
