Replying To The_analyser: "Faithleachs deserved at least a draw out of that game today. Brigids form this year has been indifferent but 2 championship wins under their belts now so they will hardly care about that. Western Gaels the form team in league and championship however can they retain this form into August,September? Strokestown with two big wins and scoring well but have probably played the two weakest sides in section B. Bad news for them and Roscommon is Tom Corcoran broke his collar bone. Clann up and running with a goalfest against Croans. Bad news for them and Roscommon is Ultan Harney is doubtful to play anymore football this summer with a back injury." Two teams they were unable to beat 2 years previous. Most likely he'll be back able to play for next championship match as it is 3 months away. Fair shoulder on shoulder tackle that unfortunately went badly wrong. On a positive note his brother played well when he came on. Ros2017 (Roscommon) - Posts: 20 - 15/05/2017 17:48:19 1986902 Link
After two rounds of games in senior championship and having watched all teams in group A,Western gaels and Roscommon gaels can be happy wth their performances.Bridgets are not the force of previous yrs but have the experience to grind out wins,Faitleachs will beat pearses and Boyle.If they had a any luck y'day they shud have drew wth bridgets.Pearses and Boyle have gone backwards on last year,neither team will make it out of group.

Replying To reffingmad: "Black card given against Goal which was allowed even though ref told it was square ball Linesman bring foul on Murtagh to ref attention and a black card not given Last minute ref appeared to indicate a penalty and then blow final whistle" I was at game and I couldn't agree totally with that summary. Black card didn't appear to get any complaints from Faithleachs and bridgids player was fouled deliberately going through on goal. In fact David Rooney from Faithleachs should have got a second yellow shortly after he got his first one for giving away the penalty. Yes could have been a black card for bridgids player alright. I was in line with last goal and it definitely wasn't a square ball. Senan backed in from a long way out once ball was kicked. I'd have thought brids 2nd goal was more of a square ball. Ref was never signalling a penalty at end as there wasn't a faithleachs player within 20 yards of the goal when ball was kicked in. Now everyone was confused at the way it finished. One thing throughout that game was you never felt Faithleachs were going to win. Don't know who said ross gaels v Boyle was level at ht. Gaels were 6 pts up at least and could have been double it. 11 weeks is a long time between games and a lot of teams will be better by then. Section A looks straight forward with the three teams on top going through plus one from Faithleachs, Pearses and Boyle who all have to play each other in last three rounds. Section B is already looking like Clan and Strokestown. Elphin could catch Strokestown in that game but not Clan. When is the Kilmore v Clan fixture? An awful lot of games over by half time. Very small crowds at games I was at Friday and Sunday. Standard in general is poor. Wouldn't pick too many county players from them.

Faithleachs player who was black carded incident happened on half way line. Offence was not a black card offence. Last goal was clearly square ball, Senan was in the square long before ball was kicked which linesman told referee but he didn't listen. Referee signalled a penalty and ran nearly 30 yards towards goal before again blowing whistle and indicating game over. Even Frankie was giving out about penalty. reffingmad (Roscommon) - Posts: 371 - 16/05/2017 22:43:51 1987330 Link

What did brigids player do to deserve black card? cannyfixit (Roscommon) - Posts: 220 - 17/05/2017 11:21:53 1987437 Link
Replying To cannyfixit: "What did brigids player do to deserve black card?" Body checked Diarmuid Murtagh after he off loaded ball and went for return just before half time. Was what black card was introduced for. The fact faithleachs got half a goal chance from it took the spotlight off incident. SmokieRoss (Roscommon) - Posts: 273 - 21/05/2017 10:53:42 1988737 Link
Clan posting another big score again looking impressive but tougher tests lie ahead....didn't look to be much wrong with Kevin Higgins today in fpark turned in another fine display this time in the middle of the field RealRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 332 - 21/05/2017 18:13:28 1988890 Link
Replying To RealRossie: "Clan posting another big score again looking impressive but tougher tests lie ahead....didn't look to be much wrong with Kevin Higgins today in fpark turned in another fine display this time in the middle of the field" Was at the game myself Kevin Higgins called all the doubters out as he put in a fine display of football been marked by O'Rourke who was non existent in the game! And I'm a nuteral Gaa supporter to these two teams. Serious knee injury?? What knee injury, covered every blade of grass in the field and kicked 3-4 points from play also! Doubters keep doubting..

Was also at the game he obviously has an ongoing knee injury seems to maybe affect him late in game as today when they took him off last 5 but why oh why come out and say that's why he was leaving panel when obviously not! Who else impressed you today? Clann brigids gaels and stown the early pace setters imo! RealRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 332 - 21/05/2017 18:41:53 1988912 Link
Up in Ulster the best players in Antrim,Fermanagh,Down,Derry aren't giving commitment to their county because they don't feel things are going right with the county setup with the management or county board while Monaghan who have a similar pick of players have a good manager and county board that has things in order and every top player in that county wants to play for them. When you see top quality players like Kevin Higgins not giving his commitment to his county its clear Roscommon now seem the same in the same bracket as Antrim,Fermanagh,Down,Derry when in truth with the talent available to Roscommon should be at Monaghans level at least right now.

Please. How many times do you need to be told. He has said that the high intensity training at County level is taking its toll on his knee after sessions. What is wrong with saying that if it could be detrimental to his long term football? Also he has more control of what he does to manage it at club level. Great footballer. please drop this agenda cannyfixit (Roscommon) - Posts: 220 - 21/05/2017 19:56:43 1988965 Link

Another big win for Clann yesterday leaving them, Strokestown and Elphin on 4 points each so it looks like 2 of those 3 to progress. An interesting performance by a certain referee in Johnstown yesterday. Ros13 (Roscommon) - Posts: 109 - 22/05/2017 14:01:46 1989361 Link

Was at the game in Johnstown yesterday. A pure case of one side looking too strong section A against a side struggling to cope with a step up in quality from intermediate level. Johnny Dunning had good cameo off the bench with 1-2 from play. Graham Pettit,Cathal Shine dominated exchanges in midfield which set the platform for a comfortable win. Lennon,Connaughton very impressive in defence. Without stating the obvious Clanns championship chances rests on keeping Donie Shine fit 2-12 in two championship games so far the top scorer in the senior club championship. As for Kilmore well beaten by Strokestown,Clann but they have Castlerea,Croans to play and with good forwards in Paul Garvey,Connellan,Gannon they will fancy their chances to win those games and stay up.

We now get into the business end Brigids western gaels clan ros gaels and strokestown the main contenders on form. Can w gaels keep their good form going. Whoever wins between them and ros gaels has 1 foot in a semi RealRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 332 - 14/08/2017 22:04:11 2033452 Link
Section A St Brigids vs Boyle Roscommon Gaels vs Western Gaels Faithleachs vs Pearses Section B Clann na nGael vs Castlerea Elphin vs Strokestown St Croans vs Kilmore Big weekend ahead with some big games. Personally I'd go for Brigids, a narrow Western Gaels win and I can't call the Faithleachs and Pearses game. Have Pearses gotten their lads back form the States? In section B I'd go with wins for Clann, Strokestown and Kilmore to grind out a win at home to Croans. Ros13 (Roscommon) - Posts: 109 - 15/08/2017 18:18:54 2033780 Link

Hard to disagree there.will say the American players are back today for pearses so that'll give them a lift. Also I see a draw somewhere in section b.clan comfortable win so will say kilmore croans draw strokestown win cannyfixit (Roscommon) - Posts: 220 - 16/08/2017 07:51:53 2034000 Link
