Replying To BaldyBadger: "I do not know why you are making a funny remark about Clare being the 4th best team in Munster (I would say they're better than that) when Roscommon are only the third best team in Connacht. This was always going to be a close game. Whilst Roscommon are Division 1 now, realistically, Roscommon are a division 1/2 team and will be favourites to be relegated next year. Clare are also an established division 2 team. Whilst I think Roscommon were understandably confident going into the game, I would be amazed if you expected anything other than a tight game. If you thought Roscommon were going to walk the game, then you have massive delusions as to where you are." For me they're consistently the second best team in Munster over the past 10 years. Ye regressed a good bit in that time. But in 2022 the signs are good for Cork and Limerick football. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7346 - 11/06/2022 18:59:11 2424004 Link
Replying To Oldtourman: "Do you not know that Limerick beat Clare at home. There is no way they are the second best team in Munster." One swallow doesn't make a summer. Clare have been in division 2 for 7 years. Limerick beat Clare on penalties but that doesn't automatically make them better than Clare. I would say that based on recent times and the fact we are now in the quarter finals, we are second best in Munster. LohansRedHelmet (Clare) - Posts: 2479 - 11/06/2022 19:05:41 2424007 Link
Replying To howdareu: "That is a deplorable performance from roscommon. They have lost to probably the fourth best team in munster. Shocking fare and questions need to be asked from co board as to why Anthony cunningham was left in charge. Its extremely disappointing" o the bitterness!!!!!

Clare are a very decent team and better team today over 70 minutes. Simple as that. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1057 - 11/06/2022 19:58:49 2424020 Link
Replying To oneoff: "To be fair the poster in question didn't know why New York didn't play in the league so it's understandable they wouldn't think Clare have been on the up for the last few years." Thanks for your contribution. Invaluable as always! howdareu (USA) - Posts: 220 - 11/06/2022 20:01:28 2424021 Link
Congrats Clare, a deserved win. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 11/06/2022 20:11:55 2424031 Link
Replying To dave1988: "Stop talking nonsense. Clare are a very decent team and better team today over 70 minutes. Simple as that." We'll know more about how decent Clare are after their quarter Final game. My hunch is that they'll be hammered if their opponents are Kerry or Dublin but we'll see. What we do know tonight is that Roscommon weren't good enough today, weren't good enough against Galway and are deservedly out of the championship. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2166 - 11/06/2022 20:15:21 2424034 Link
Replying To howdareu: "Thanks for your contribution. Invaluable as always!" Have you figured out yet why New York don't play in the league? oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 11/06/2022 20:22:43 2424039 Link
Replying To howdareu: "I said probably fourth best team! Nothing funny about it. Why would you think it was funny?? Limerick, cork and tipp could and have beaten clare on a given day. I still stand over my comments that serious questions need to be asked of roscommon county board who left this manager in charge." Limerick, cork and tipp could and have beaten clare on a given day How many given days did they actually do that in league or championship in the past 10 years? Anthony Cunningham got Roscommon promoted and won Division 2. What serious questions would you ask Roscommon County Board? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7346 - 11/06/2022 20:22:59 2424040 Link
Rossies had the game won - somehow contrived to lose it at the end - not ruthless enough when they had to be tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1109 - 11/06/2022 20:40:44 2424049 Link

Anthony Cunningham got Roscommon promoted and won Division 2. What serious questions would you ask Roscommon County Board?" Well Green and Red, the question I'd like to ask the Roscommon county Board is why is Anthony Cunningham still Manager when we've only had one championship win since 2019 and that against a division 4 team playing most of the match with 14 men. Would ye be happy in Mayo if that was Horan's record since he came back in 2019 . endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2166 - 11/06/2022 20:55:13 2424056 Link
Replying To Forpucksake: "So there'll be 3 teams from Munster in the quarter finals. Looks like the hurling province can play a bit of Football as well." Indeed and yet a team from Leinster will win it. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 11/06/2022 20:57:31 2424057 Link
Replying To Rolo2010: "West Cork has always had a football tradition. Same for west Limerick and west Clare. They aren't exclusively hurling counties." Very true. I know football is big in Clare around Kilrush and Cooraclare, etc but I didn't think they could beat Roscommon to be honest about it. Clare have some nice footballers but usually not enough to compete. I'm very happy for them. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2124 - 11/06/2022 20:57:53 2424059 Link

County Board might be happy though that ye got promoted and won Div 2 though? Would a win today have cemented his case? I don't know what his targets were for 2022. Why did he drop Donie Smith today would be one question to ask. I wouldn't be happy if that was Horan's record, no. But even if, and looked probable, in second half today, that Kildare would put us out, our beloved County board would not have sacked Horan.

Replying To Forpucksake: "So there'll be 3 teams from Munster in the quarter finals. Looks like the hurling province can play a bit of Football as well." A good achievement . And Munster football is going in the right direction and its a good achievement to have 3 in the QFs. But lets be honest if ros had the mettle to close out a game that they were cruising in and if the draw hadnt been kind to cork and limerick i.e mayo would have beaten limerick and kildare would have beaten Cork. In that scenario kerry would be munsters only rep in QF and the only rep in Div 1 of the league . The reality is that despite the QF draw Kerry are the only Munster team in most peoples top 10. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 840 - 11/06/2022 21:18:57 2424071 Link

Replying To howdareu: "Enlighten me seeing as you have all the answers to everything." No that's you. Or at least you think you do anyway. Why don't you tell us all what the Roscommon CB should do going forward? Seeing as you're "questioning" them. oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 11/06/2022 21:23:59 2424075 Link
