Connacht senior football final Galway v Roscommon July 10th

[Jinxy]

Hopefully the 6 day turnaround will be the Rossies' problem.

From yesterday, I really hope that Cummins and Heaney being called ashore was an injury or fatigue related issue, Shane Walsh and Brannigan should have been hooked long before either. Still waiting on a really good performance from Walsh in the championship for Galway. Always seems to take the wrong option although having seen it back last night, I'll give him a pass for the blocked shot at the finish, Flynn should never have passed when he did. Would Adrian Varley be a better option to start?
Declan Kyne and Gary O'Donnell were excellent at the back again.

You'd have to wonder if their hands will be healed in time.

Is this a piss take, 3.30 on Sunday whilst we have to watch the one sided rubbish that is the leinster football final

Gaago surely going to show it online?

If it is not on GAAgo, then I hope somebody has the capability to do a live cam like somebody did at the recent Donegal V Monaghan.
For a sporting body that talks about its trying to market its games and extend its global reach, you would figure they would try to accommodate supporters outside of Ireland.

No doubt Syferus will bring his periscope with him.

If they are trying to market its games and extend its global reach the last thing they'd be doing is showing a repeat of last Sunday's shite to the international audience.

Or last Saturday's excuse for entertainment in McHale.

In fairness the 'Holy Grail' Hurling Munster final was no better. The Munster football final was a dead rubber game as well. And as for the Leinster football final which will be televised, this looks like another Turkey shoot!

The verdict is in from last Saturday

As for the match..... draw and off to fund Prenty park next Saturday 

Damn...just got the day wrong

Declan Kyne and Gary O'Donnell were excellent at the back again.

Particularly as Danny's replacement was Patrick Sweeney.
How he continually gets brought on is beyond me.

In fairness in almost every time I've seen Cummins there's been a lot of effort but very little end product too. No fan of Walsh but subbing out Cummins was probably to do with how knackered he was more than anything else.

I've watched the game again and even more disappointed we let that slip, Galway scored 5 points in the first 14 minutes of the 2nd half and only 2 points in the remaining 25 minutes. Galway lost their shape on very few occasions with one of then being when Power unusually took a poor free kick of the ground, he should have either gone short or gone long but instead kicked it into an area where we were short on bodies and within about 10 seconds of his kick the Rossies had a point. I haven't seen the final stats but I know Roscommon weren't far of making double the amount of hand passes Galway did. Galway have a settled pattern of play they've clearly spent the last 3 months working on so you can't expect Roscommon to come to replicate that in a couple of weeks. Its easy for the Rossies to say they can play better next week  collectively but thats easier said than done with very little time to work on the training pitch.

If we can win next Sunday the extra game will be of huge benefit down the line although lose and i'll be very worried about the qualifier. I agree Roscommon have more quality on the bench and I really can't fathom how Patrick Sweeney continues to get game time, not seen anything to suggest he's good enough.

Its time to call a spade a spade, shite football from 2 teams going no where if they dont change their ways, if a wet stormey day was the issue why did it not stop ros in killarney against kerry, truth is we have gone backwards in the last couple of months, we are at nothing if that is where this team is heading. If any other county had served up that crap I would be shouting from the rooftops so I am not going to make an exception for my own county.
Trying to play a system we have no idea how to play or have not got the players capable of playing it is futile, we should go back to the style we played against Donegal etc a high energy running game, have a cut, any Rossie with a brain knows we are not going to win any all-ireland either way, just do the best we can and dont let other teams dictate how we play, that way we will win or lose on our terms.

Has all that early training/fitness for the League caught up with a lot of our lads??
