Replying To Tadhg2020:  "What is the purpose of this post?

1. Why do you want to deny Tooreen the opportunity of winning a club all ireland? What is your motive here?
2. Yes Roscommon struggled in terms of results in the Ring but they were very competitive in most of the games. Their S+C isnt quite at the level of the other , more experienced, Ring teams and it cost them. They are a young team that lost their centre back from the rackard win. He was a huge loss. They had a really competitive game against Kerry in Ballyforan, for example, and the scoreline didnt do their performance justice. The extra physicality and experience plus a stronger bench got Kerry over the line.
3. Brian Hanley is a loss but there was no jumping ship as you put it. You are trying to imply something there and its wrong. The information that I have is that his work commitments changed over the summer and he couldn't dedicate the time he felt it deserved. Roscommon do need to replace him with similar quality.
4. This young Roscommon team did catch a break on relegation. That is true. There is a talented bunch of players there though. If they winter well, S+C and fitness wise, and keep everyone on board plus add a few that had stepped away then they can survive on merit and progress over the next few years. The talent is there. The question is whether the commitment is."
