Firstly well done to Monaghan and any of their posters on here. Fully deserved their win and good value for their 9 point win.
As for us we saved our worst performance of the year for the last match. Kickouts not finding them men, us not showing the intensity and fight in the middle 8 that was required. Defensively very poor lacked shape and players so often left flatfooted.
Not a whole lot of difference between Tyrone and Monaghan but how different our performances was 3 weeks apart was something else. One thing for sure we wouldn't have stayed up in Division one or even reached the Connacht final had we played similar to that today.
Finally thanks to players and management for what was a transitional year on the line and with many new or newish faces getting their chance and where we secured Division 1 status and won Connacht.
Nobody will be hurting more than them and will know they are a whole lot better than what they showed today, that's football and sport unfortunately and we'll go again in 2027.

Injuries-Due To Condensed Season? - 2 Like(s)
Reading all the previews of this weekend's matches it seems nearly every team involved has injuries preventing players from being on the starting 15. From memory (not great I admit), I don't remember such a high level of injuries.
Is it heavier training, wrong training methods, or does the condensed season contribute to it.
From quick memory, Meath, Kerry, Dublin, Roscommon, Westmeath, all seem to be missing starting players.

Replying To Southsligoman: "Champo baby.. we have had some luck so far!
Canice back is huge. Mullen too.
D bould mcgurn is a typical modern day gym footballer. Can kick a point strong and very athletic. A guy who lacks real talent but like gary neville has worked hard on his physique and has made the most of his ability. He needs marking. They have another forward love he is tidy.
A good team. Sligo by 2." Southsligoman.
I'd agree that most gaelic footballers are athletes now, due to the demands of the game and level of training the do.
On every county team there is a few players who may be relying on their athleticism/pace to play on the team however think Darragh McGurn may have a bit of "talent " now scoring 1-12 and 6 two pointers against Armagh might be good indicator that he has some football to go with his athleticism, as not every player does that!

It's bonus territory for Monaghan now...just the way we like it." We shouldn't like it, no wonder we've not won Sam.

Replying To farneygael3: "Couldn't get today due to work. Controlled game here in 2nd half. As said before, once the Connaught championship is over the Rossies are best just packing it in" Well done to Monaghan. If ye took your chances ye'd have beaten us by 20 points. Roscommon were poor today but that's a mostly young Roscommon team who I think over the next few years will go well in the All Ireland series. Best of luck to Monaghan in the next round.

Some real OTT stuff on here. Bad day yesterday and we blew a chance to put ourselves in an All Ireland QF in great shape, noone will know that more than the players and management. Looking at it without the emotions from yesterday though the net result of everything to date is if Armagh win today, ourselves, Kerry and Armagh are in the exact same position as we were in at this stage last year, we've played half the games and we've beaten Kerry well in 2 big games this year.
I know Kerry weren't full strenght but we were 22 points up at one stage in the league final and 13 points at one stage in Killarney, Kerry will be a different animal if we meet again but those are massive scores so we've shown a high ceiling and have to take beliefe from those wins.
On the flip side against Down and Cork we've shown when we aren't quite at it we can look a poor side.
Two big performances over the next two weekends and the Cork gane will be forgotten about.

Replying To dave1988: "It's just so annoying to see a performance like that when it really matters. We need to look at what the hell is our problem when it really matters. No shape plan or intensity to our play today. No leaders on the pitch. It was embarrassing watching that. Mark dowd needs to really look at our mentality and get to the bottom of why we can't perform when it really matters." The Connacht final really mattered and Roscommon performed well and won a tight match. Today was a shocking performance from Roscommon. It's hard to understand how we were so bad. Monaghan could have won that match by 20 points. Perhaps the hype after winning Connacht got to the players. A lot of our players are young though and they should learn a lot from this season. Roscommon need to aspire for more than a provincial title. We do seem to struggle outside Connacht. Even our great team of the late 1970s lost three All Ireland semi finals before winning one. It's a very disappointing end to the inter county season for Roscommon and the minors were really poor last week as well against Ulster opposition.

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "Two of those three losses were to Kerry and Dublin of course, sides that in the 1975-1979 era were only being beaten by Kerry and Dublin in championship football." Roscommon were well beaten in the 1978 semi final by the great Mick O'Dwyer managed Kerry team who were at the peak of their powers. In 1979, Roscommon were National League champions and 3 in a row Connacht champions and they lost the All Ireland semi final by a point to a Dublin team in decline who were hammered by Kerry in the final. That '79 semi final was one Roscommon should have won. We beat Armagh in semi final 1980 by 6 points which remains our last championship win in Croke Park. To join the discussion here, it's not either or between Connacht titles and a tilt at the All Ireland series. Galway have just won 4 Connacht's in a row and got in that time to two All Ireland finals. I thought beforehand that yesterday's game was 50/50 so I'm not shocked Roscommon lost. I am shocked by Roscommon's performance which was dreadful and not fit for the thousands of our supporters who travelled to Clones to outnumber the home support. It's the worst championship performance by Roscommon I can remember. Yes the replay in 2017 to Mayo was a bad day but that was a great Mayo side that got to 4 All Ireland finals losing three of them by a single point to the historic Dublin team. Yesterday Roscommon were outfought and out thought by a Monaghan team who will be out of the championship next weekend or the weekend after depending on the draw. On the plus side, a lot of young Roscommon players got good experience this Summer and they'll learn from it. On the downside, we'll lose Diarmuid Murtagh and Enda Smith over the next couple of years and they'll be hard to replace. I'd hope next year we'd do back to back Connacht's for the first time since 1991 which was the year of our last All Ireland semi final. Thanks to players and management for a memorable season. They put the work in and know better than any of us that yesterday was not nearly good enough in the famous primrose and blue shirt.

I think if roles were reversed we would be in the same boat and get beaten small population and winning a provincial its what roscommon and monaghan are about and when that's achieved we fold up the tent unfortunately were very similar in footballing terms but maybe pundits talk up the rossies a small bit too much there was talk of semi finals but its not a bad year to win senior u20 and minor in 1 year someday hopefully monaghan or roscommon can put a top 3 team out in croke Park and fulfill there potential anyway congrats on connaught title and sure its something to savour and no-one can take 2026 connaught title from yous good luck in 27

Replying To PoolSturgeon: "That minor team was losing by 12 points to Kilkenny and came back to draw and then win in extra time. A freakish kind of result. Imo the level of real ability in the team was best measured by the nature of their performance for the greater part of that game that produced that 12 point deficit. I dont think inflated egos had anything to do with it. Underage hurling in Munster is clearly of a higher standard than Leinster at the moment." But kilkenny also got hammered by cork..all 5 of the Munster counties would have won Leinster..
