What a stupid question, yes we may not be doing well in the last few years but if everyone had that attitude you may as well have a championship for 4 teams!!!! Keep the faith and think the lads will come good in next couple of years.

Wexford will hammer Rossies.. Semi-Finalists last year surely a top.. despite Rosccommon having a huge fanbase they should pull out of the senior champioship for a few years and work on underage structure..

After Mayo hammered them (Mayo not being a great side either) maybe they should concentrate on hurling.


Hmm a Cavan Man coming onto a Rocommon board tell us to quit football you guys are one of the few teams we could beat (twice in last 3yrs)

Now your points..........

Wexford will hammer Rossies................... maybe even you lot hammered us in the league

Rosccommon having a huge fanbase................yes & better the overated Cavan fans

Mayo not being a great side either.......... i don't like saying it but Mayo are one of the best teams in Ireland, football rankings at moment has Mayo at 7th place (Cavan 20th Roscommon 22th) & they have beaten every team in the last 10years they just bottle it on the big day!

no county should ever give up football if they can find 30 lads serious about football. and ive seen ros play a good few times and they should def not give up football. I've seen my beloved county and club been hammered more than once and would hate to see them give up. and if jack l is a roscommon man he shouldn't bother supporting them not the kind of fan a county needs.

I merely saying that perhaps a year or two out of the limelight might work wonders. Have a tier system similar to hurling.

I don`t know what you`re on about sandra ballagh.

I believe over the past few years that Ballagh is in Mayo. They compete in the Mayo championship.

yes Jack L,

another intelligent post by yourself.

Ballaghaderreen is geographically in county Roscommon by about 4-5km which makes them Roscommon people.

Just curious as to why they play in Mayo. Is it because of the higher standard in Mayo. Perhaps other clubs close to the various borders should follow suit.

because ballagh is playing there football in mayo ... should faithleachs or barry's play in longford

It would be wise, clubs going to other counties. At least in Roscommon they may win a championship which they would unlikely win in another county.

I seriously reckon that Roscommon will make an all ireland qf within next couple of seasons, iv seen two excellent under 21 teams in the last two years being in very hard luck not to win at least ohe ne connacht final, add that to the recent minor success and some of the players all ready at senior and i think that roscommon will be hard bet. Shine is a serious freetaker, Cregg and O Gara are top players, as is Domnican at the back. Heneghan Killelea and Kenny from St Kevs. There is definitely potential there. Not sure what story is with older guys Cox, Dineen, O Neill. But if they get there act together there is no reason why they cant at least push hard in Connaught.

roscommon are one of the poorest counties because there are so many of the minors allready on the panel does it not say that whats there is not good enough .In any of the strong counties it is unheard of so many minors making it on to a senior panel there is nothing there.roscommon need to go back to basics and coach football how it should be and get out of the form of ruby that they play,a few clubs are changing in fairness namely st bridgets and pearses to name a few,as for ros in an all ireland I dont know

Stupid question and stupid thread! Jack L whats the point of it? Honestly, Do you think a county, any county would give up playing our national sport, just because they are not in the top 5 of Ireland? Or because of some fellas opinion on a public website? Winning is not everything and many agree its the love of the sport that keeps us going. To have won an all ireland in 2006 was a livetime moment of alot of Roscommon people, and I know its hard to see if it could be dont again, but we did it and I for one can die happy that I saw it, a team against all odds won in a well deserved exciting game.
Pointless threads like this are a waste of time, and you truly dont appreciate the sport if you come up with ridiculous comments like should we give up football.
Should you stop posting???

After what I saw today..they probably should quit football, as much as it pains me to say it!
