No wonder Kobe McDonald has decided to move to Australia if the past few pages from Mayo posters are anything to go by

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we will still go up if we win our last two games so tonight's result may not matter too much. I'm hoping that McHugh had his eye on that scenario and heavy loaded training this week. Otherwise it's a worrying result. We will have a better idea of the players when the chips are down these last two games now that they really matter. It's win or bust! It's great scoring at will against the bottom team last week but now we will learn who can step up or not!

Replying To S1234:  "And ye say that we get carried away................"
Unlike Mayo, nobody in Roscommon is getting carried away in Roscommon. We are just delighted to have unexpectedly won a few league matches. We are 66/1 and 70/1 for the All Ireland for God's sake.

1. Mayo supporters have backed Mayo down to 7/1 for the All Ireland

2. Ye all went bananas after Kolb ( great footballer) got a few scores against a beaten Monaghan team.

3. Mayo supporters all voted for Jordan Flynn as Gaa player of the week who kicked 4 scores (5 points) out of total of 2-30. Jason McGee performed better for Donegal last weekend than Jordan Flynn. Daire Cregg kicked 1-7 (1-5 from play) against a strong Galway team in a very competitive match in dire conditions last Saturday night.

All the evidence is that there is only one county losing the run of themselves.

PS. Do you really have to reply to all posters in different counties with negative comments. I do not think you represent Mayo supporters very well.

Replying To Bluelake:  "Tomorrow night is a real potential banana skin. Laois been a bit inconsistent although they beat Sligo comfortably who we were fortunate to beat"
The lack of proper training facilities is really coming home to roost. I fear for the hurlers tomorrow. Laois will drag them into a physical battle.

Replying To macca999:  "There is no doubt the county team are staring into an abyss at moment, it has been coming for a while, some recent decisions may have fastracked it.

In terms of county teams results over the last decade at underage level has been the poorest in Ulster, minimal if any victories so to an extent over last 4/5 years Fermanagh have been overachieving to an being in Division 2 and top end of Division 3. Kieran Donnelly probably a bit more appreciated now

This lack of success at underage will eventually hinder senior team progress and that is certainly a factor for the current predicament. For senior team to develop, need 2/3 players adding to it year on year, whereas Fermanagh have young lads coming into senior level who may have not won a championship game at minor/20 level, so zero confidence.

Certainly St Michaels has been huge benefit to Fermanagh football over the years as highlighted by Jimmy and has seen many players come through, though 2 of the most influential from last Hogan Success didnt play any county football since, they pursued another sporting career, Glynn and McBrien.

The standard of club football in the county has dipped too, when look at teams performances in Ulster club championship, wins have been minimal, bar Derrygonnelly in the prime.

In terms of physically, we do seem to be behind in terms of s+c compared with other countys, i know work being down in this area and better facilities are in plan but will take time for this to show any impact.

All above are huge reasons for the current status of the the county team, then the new rules make it harder for the lesser teams, cant go blanket style and need high scoring forwards, which we certainly lack in and ability to score 2 pointers can make gap bigger against strong teams.

Its hard to see where the teams goes rest of the season, management seem to be struggling, ban for Brennan only adds to the problems. Once lost the Wexford game relegation looked inevitable and the Clare defeat essentially confirmed it even that early, winning a game looks beyond them. As posters have said, defence looks very loose, standing off their men, afraid and no physical edge in the team(Cullens huge losses) and devoid of leaders so losing can easily become a habit. In attack play is lateral and slow, a combination of poor defence and struggling attack means one thing only.
Some of the timing of the subs in Sligo game certainly where questionable, dont think the couple of players to come back will change anything either.

Down away, another likely heavy defeat to confirm relegation, then 2 meaningless league games before Ulster champ game v Armagh/Tyrone, doesnt look like will improve any time soon. At moment best outcome at minute looks like getting a point in league and maybe 1/2 wins in Tailteann Cup.

Whats that Take that song? Things, can only ..............."
Good lad Macca, turn your back on lads who give up 40 hours a week to represent this county on the national stage. Performances have not been good enough, this squad is capable of much more than what we are offering at the minute. However,as a county we so easily turn on one another's backs as soon as we get the chance. Why not back the team now more than ever?Would you sacrifice 40 hours a week in lissan for the benefit of fermanagh football? This is still a very young squad, if you look at regular starters over the past couple of years like o brien, largo ellis,mccaffrey and mcdade their still only 22-24. The likes of Cian o brien, mattie mcdermott, o hanlon are even younger and first season, their is so much tome still for them to develop, you do realise they need this time?Suggest where we can do better in a constructive manner but less of the negative nonsense and stay behind the team in Newry tommorow night to start off with.Anything else is nonsense us Fermanagh people love to get into. Cheer up and give that young squad to chance to develop

The last time Roscommon won the Connacht final in 2019, the captain was Ciaran Murtagh from St Faithleachs.

The last time Roscommon played in a senior All Ireland final (1980) the captain was Danny Murray from St Faithleachs.

The last time Roscommon won the national League in 1979, the captain was Pat Lindsay from St Faithleachs.

This years captain is Diarmuid Murtagh from St. Faithleachs. No pressure Diarmuid.

Majority Ros fans take staying up and decent run in championship. Would exceed our expectations but nkt yours as it seems for Mayo.
Were u one of the posters put in your place on the Galway forum lien about the 7 pages dedicated to Kobe.
Who by the way is a top prospect. But would read very little into last weekend. Monaghan were putrid and game was over when he came on.
Even from us iv seen Enda Diarmuid and Ultan do as much in championship at around same age as Kobe is now. A lot of pressure on his young shoulders. Too much hopefully he can stay injury free

What a win for CBS - superb game from start to finish. Thought Masterson, O'Brien, Ormsby, Moloney and Scahill were absolutely outstanding. Byrne and McWade were very impressive too. Serious finish to a cracking game - Scahill must've hit 11 or 12 points and set up the goal to kill it off at the end.

In fairness, O'Rourke and the Abbey's number 12 were excellent as well. Roll on Paddy's Day - fair play to CBS, and great to see the students and teachers out in force supporting the team on a Saturday in Dublin.

Great to see this "7 pages" debate still raging on. Was Kobe involved in the Silgo\Clare game?
