We did not compete with Kerry for 50 mins Kerry didn't get out of second gear for most of the match I dunno what some of u lads are watching The game in salt hill was a cracker ya there were mistakes but it was a full bodied championship match both teams going at it to win it Roscommon are not capable at the moment of competing in a game like that simple as rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 654 - 17/05/2025 21:51:43 2610420 Link 1 |

50 minute's, it has been the same now with every game since the Meath game bar Cork and London and the Galway game was really over at HT. And it's an equal opportunities approach from the AI contenders Kerry right through to the relegated to Div 3 Westmeath. As has been stated many times our attacking play is trapped in the old rules of sideways back ways slowly slowly and we have no defensive structure worth talking about. The Galway Dublin game might have been error ridden but intensity levels are way ahead of what Roscommon bring. Monaghan who we probably more realistically should be comparing ourselves to are well ahead of us in that department too.

We were competitive for 50 minutes?? We were only competitive until Kerry decided to get out of 1st gear!!

You are watching too much F1 with gear talk. Cracker and superb contest you have called Dublin Galway game. Dublin are only middling and while they got a earned a deserved win they showed in that match how and why they lost to Meath. Galway was flat for the majority of the game best period for them was at the start of both halves. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3633 - 17/05/2025 22:29:46 2610438 Link 1 |

Ok so we'll just change the narrative. Galway lost heavily to Dublin by a point after a terribly tepid affair in Salthill. Roscommon brought Kerry to the edge in an absorbing contest innsun drenched Killarney losing narrowly by ten points. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1142 - 17/05/2025 23:05:42 2610449 Link 2 |

Yes for the best part of 50 minutes with the margin 5 points as it was at half time. Gaa_lover highlighted the scoring pattern well a page back if you want to read back on it. Poor defending by Roscommon on all three goal than Kerry moving out of gears I'd suggest. You can't nod off for a second in these games.

Time for Davey and Management team to step down .Think about what has happened in last number of games Cavan, Meath, Westmeath , Monaghan, Galway and now Kerry .Last 3 very bad beatings. Watch Galway and others and how they tackle . It's not a talent it's from good training sessions . Management has not been able to get team in Championship form . If they could not get them ready in those 6 games what can be expected in next 3 weeks. Best for them all step down as they will not be involved next year. Let someone like Cian Smith have a shot over next few weeks. Good young players coming up. Need to use next few games to look towards next year. Way we are playing will not beat Meath or Cavan . Team spirit is down. Rossgaa47 (Roscommon) - Posts: 11 - 18/05/2025 00:20:23 2610464 Link 1 |

Jees im Being mis quoted all over the shop today but loving the over analysis of my posts :) I said Super not superb by the way And imo it was a super match proper championship feel to it that could've went either way and was won' with the last play of the game The overall point being Ross unfortunately are nowhere near that level at the moment and it's hugely disappoint for true Roscommon gaels to see a team that promised so much floundering so badly I'll be waiting as always for your smart Alec comeback rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 654 - 18/05/2025 01:43:56 2610472 Link 0 |

You're way off there, Dublin brought a totally different intensity to their game yesterday, if they were even close to that level the last day they would have beaten Meath handily.

We are in a bad way, there needs to be a complete restructure the minute this championship is over and put in a plan of where we want to be in five years and how we are going to get there. The best 10 minor and u20s should be moulded into the squad over the next three years. The last five years have been completely wasted.

Good idea. There doesn't seem to be a plan in how to bring the senior team on to the next level, ie making a semi final. That will be something Louth will be trying to achieve. Monaghan have already done it a few times over the past 15 years. Unless there are massive improvements in the last two games we will have gone backwards. Last year we were losing to top 8 teams. This year we are losing to both top 8 and Div 2 teams on a regular basis. We are not even competitive with the bigger teams. Drew with the Dubs a few years ago, now getting walloped by Galway and Kerry. Keep in mind it's the first year we have basically a full panel except McCormack available. Someone making the point that the Dubs have gone back, makes our situation even worse as instead of narrowing the gap with the top teams it's getting wider. If Dublin played us yesterday with the same intensity they brought to Salthill it would have been over at half time.

It's just about looking forward now and not diving into despair after every game on here. Hammering the team's performance online, week in week out, does nothing in the long run. The players know things aren't going well under the current regime, the management know, we know. The ship has run its course and it's the last couple of games now of the year before some systemic - hopefully mainly coaching and management - changes come into place. There's a lot to look forward to next year with Division one football and a new championship structure and more recent u20s ready to join the panel. The hope would be that the county board can see this and decide to take the bull by the horns and, as someone else said this morning, put a realistic long-term plan into place and recruit the best people possible to implement that plan.

Correction that should be playing Meath and Cork not Cavan !! Rossgaa47 (Roscommon) - Posts: 11 - 18/05/2025 14:26:28 2610582 Link 0 |

Dublin's intensity is never in question for a championship game the main difference for Dublin compared to the Meath match was kick outs and the following game Meath was beaten in the middle 8 by Louth. Now how much Dublin's improvement was down to flatness of Galway is up for debate but it was still a game that Galway gifted a goal to Dublin and Cluxton had to pull off two fine saves to prevent goals. Croke Park should bring on Dublin again but I don't think that performance yesterday by Dublin will be good enough to beat Armagh. @SpanishRossie good post. here and other threads do seem to be more vocal on the negatives than positives Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3633 - 18/05/2025 14:30:21 2610583 Link 0 |

The weekend shows that Connacht football is not in a strong place. No wonder Galway won 4 in a row and they're the province's only serious contenders. Cavan, who were nowhere in Ulster beat Mayo in Castlebar. How did Roscommon lose twice at home in the championship last year to that Mayo team. We need a serious reset for sure. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2443 - 18/05/2025 21:53:21 2610782 Link 0 |

Hopefully whoever comes in will do all they can to rejuvenate the senior setup.

Unfortunately I do think parts of this team are coming to an end. Watched the Kerry game and second half when they got going there pace and movement was a different level to Ross. We seem to be stuck in league mode with no improvement. Other teams, even teams below us in the league look a totally different teams come championship ( Cavan, Cork) where we seem to be no different than the league matches we played. I think if we are all honest most of the div 2 teams would beat us come championship time. We are not even close to beating any Div 1 teams. Young players need to be given a chance in the league and build a team over the next couple of years. No disrespect to any of the squad they've given it everything but top sport is cruel and time waits for no man. Towny10 (Roscommon) - Posts: 12 - 19/05/2025 07:58:55 2610839 Link 0 |

Ya massive shake up needed now. Even our fitness and conditioning has to be questioned. We are in a very bad place with no confidence and a poor management team around the players who still don't know their best 15 or even best 10 . So much chopping and changing all year with no game plan consistency or structure. County board need to be already looking into who's available for next year and get the best of the best coaches and I think this team needs a world class psychologist in there because for some reason they can't get their heads right for games. I don't see us beating meath and Cork. To many hammerings in the last couple of months so very hard to turn it around.
