"If we hadn't had won that game our run of games would have been Kildare and Westmeath and would probably be now in the QFS"

Not accurate. Win or lose the Connacht final it was the same round 1 draw for Roscommon.

I think it is about time we started talking about ifs and buts. Campaign ended last Saturday.
Move on to the county championships.
Will Bridgets make another AI final.

Ya, we'd been drawn v Tyrone before CF was played.
Draw done early so "so Counties coukd.make arrangements"
Then subsequent draws are held off till Tuesday/Monday mornings!

I used no ifs and but simply corrected the above poster. In the future pay attention you are long enough postings on here to do so now.

We have to be honest here, even if we played Westmeath or Kildare watching that last game performance we wouldn't have beaten either of them. I think everyone is missing the point here this is some kind of mental block a bit like Mayo winning Sam. I watched the Diarmuid Murtagh interview and he said that if we pushed on and marked the Monaghan players they would have left space in behind. I don't know about you fellas but I would have preferred to lose that game with a bit of fight rather than watching that shambles. That's the first game I've watched in a long time where you knew the game was gone after 10 min of the second half you could see it on the players.

In the oul days people would say "they were over trained".
The other oul chestnut was " a row in the dressing room" at half time.

All the worse after a good League and superb Connacht Championship.

Baffling......

Cork hammered Derry minors by 11 points. Shows how poor Roscommon minors were against Derry in Breffni Park. What happens to Roscommon teams when they leave Connacht. It's hard to understand.
