You are right about Conor Hand. Auch a class Talent.Although the ease he has of gliding past players does not materialise in senior inter county football And he can run into brick walls At times giving away easy turnovers. You can't do that in this game. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 612 - 01/02/2026 22:47:43 2654496 Link 0 |

FBD doesn't matter one iota. It's a bit of game time in the legs and no more. To be honest I'm still All about Connacht this year. If we stay up brilliant and today's result gives us a great chance. Missing the Brigids and strokestown lads has rejuvenated the panel. Everyone now has an equal chance to be seen. The inferiority complex is a general attitude I see in Roscommon.the giving out on the Terrace today when Monaghan went three up before the break is an example. You'd swear we were relegated Before the second half. And I did say bridgids would walk Connacht and stick by it. As Ted Lasso Once said,' believe'.

I would agree with most of what you said except after watching the game today I wouldn't get too excited. Monaghan are a shadow of the team they had a few years ago and I can't see them picking up any points in the league. The returning guys for Roscommon will make for more competition for places but I'm not sure they will raise the standard of the team overall. I thought Dylan Ruane was our best player today as he put in a great shift. Armagh will be a much stiffer team in two weeks time. Win that one and I'll be a lot happier.

I thought it was bad too But you were not considering monghan had the wind in the first half this was a must win they had their scotstown gang back too if it made a difference or not it showed incentive we didn't have the Brigids players but the rest of the team had determination so maybe that narrative some neutrals made we are gonna stuggle without them was unfair to the rest of the team showed their quality under Dowd We were really bad in the first half but it's a positive only being two points down despite not playing well Few other negatives Wides were woeful Multiple secnarios where players probably should of took points especially after three goals 6 point win fine for Monaghan Not for Armagh who bet them by 12 points I think away Monghan got in easy what's goalway gonna do with that space in three weeks that monghan goal way too much space If where in a goal difference scenario might regret letting Monghan back in the game though not getting hammered by Kerry helped with that but that draw would of been massive Positives Youth has been given its a chance with up to ten league debuts in two games. Dominance of middle third is encouraging. Pace, as emphasised by Darragh Heneghan. Aaron Brady very solid so far. Enda Diarmuid and the Pearse's players flying it. Neary getting time Square ball didn't count this time Mayo on four points that last game might not be priority for them Gavlar (Roscommon) - Posts: 15 - 02/02/2026 00:44:21 2654511 Link 0 |

Missed out on the first two league matches as I was abroad. Great to see that the new players seem to be all putting their hands up for inclusion and giving Mark and the selectors several options for the next few games. I would not like to be Mark Dowd telling 8 (and several more) of the following players that they will not be starting against Armagh. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 841 - 02/02/2026 17:11:47 2654633 Link 0 |

Watch back on that incident, did Mike Breen at any stage hand the ball back or held it out? Also notice that he turned back as soon Diarmuid Murtagh approached him, he knew what he was doing trying to slow or stop a free getting quickly taken. Of course Jack O'Connor moaned to the media about it afterwards which was pure deflection away from all the decisions that went his sides way and then the media lapped it up as the national media is full of Kerry heads.
