Connacht senior football final Galway v Roscommon July 10th

[giveballaghback]

Darragh OShea article hits the nail on the head, it says it all, I said in an earlier post that Ros should play their own game in the replay and not be shackled by fear of how Galway will play.
At least 4 personal changes next Sunday and give the ball fast and long, keep a full forward line in position at all times, if they stay in then Galway backs will have to stay back to cover them, it will open up the game and if the ngame opens up I have every confidence Ros can win.

The only place Galway people seem to be attacking is in this thread.

You are so cute, Syf.

Agree with Ballagh - 3 in the FF line, 2 who can win the ball and a lively score getter.
Galway will probably put 4 marking them and will have only ten available for their blanket making it a bit threadbare.
We also need fast ball out of defence a la Div 1 not the oul D3 crap we were at Sunday.

Ros need someone singing I believe Ican fly and the 2001 video of Ja saying there was no way we were going to lose to Roscommon twice. The players need the sense of destiny and victimhood that Syf has but it would have to be turned into football rather than nonsense.

It took a goalie mistake for Galway to beat Roscommon in 1998 in extra time and I feel they are so well matched that it will take something similar this weekend and it could go to extra time

Rossies seem very confident going by the comments in both here and their own stolensheep board.

A lot of hopeless optimists on internet forums(a??)
I think most realistic people are saying if we learn some lessons, a better team selection and game plan we can win it.

Kevin Walsh is oversold. He is the best manager we have had in a good while

Im not saying ye cant win it but what i dont get is this bravado of the best forwards in the land attitude when cummins and comer were the stand out forwards on dispaly the last day and indeed v mayo.  If walsh kicks into gear i just dont believe ye have the defenders to cop with three of them on fire.

Time will tell but as we get closer im starting to think i might slip galway into my little accum for the weekend.

There is not a chance that the Ros won't play a sweeper with Comer in at ff, its very clear that your management is terrified of him.

I'd be feeling confident if there was another weeks rest between the game as the Ros do have a stronger bench. It will be interesting to see how the Ros play and if the media backlash has got to their management.

[barking mad]

Row won't play a sweeper they don't have to Galway play only a 2 man inside line, if we played the orthodox 6 forwards which will be the case ye may even drop more back which I can't see possible but I wouldn't be surprised after Sunday to see comer dropped to backs to help out
Last time I seen so many in defence was first half against Cavan 2 years ago and we kicked them off the field in end
A) cause it was a dry day and we scored with ease from range.
B) cause Cavan hadn't a clue how to play when we were ahead by 4 plus points when they eventually decided to have a go we hit them with ease on the break
I'm expecting something similar Sunday.

I agree Cummins was stand out forward last weekend but was hardly a day for forwards to shine when both team were so slow going forward and got held up on 45 allowing no space inside. Also Comer was extremely disappointing last weekend done nothing he will hardly be as bad again. so don't know how you claim he was a stand out

It was pissing rain that day in Cavan two years ago.
