Replying To Seniorleague: "Really?
A 4 point (2 score)victory over a Dublin team who were wasteful in front of goal, and both of kerrys goals being pretty fortutitous.
Hardly living up to the hot favourites tag." Kerry = Argentina

Replying To endgame: "Roscommon got a run on Mayo in that second half. There was huge hype in Louth last week and it got to their players. Best of luck to ye v Kerry. Maybe a young Mayo team with no baggage is your best bet of an All Ireland. As for Roscommon, we were capable of a good run in the All Ireland series but flunked it. Too much about winning a Connacht title. That Nestor cup looks less shiny by the day." We'd have bitten your hand off for a Nestor at the start of the season.

Replying To Fionn: "To have all 3 big decisions be incorrect is not acceptable Barney.
Hopefully their luck, as Jack called it, runs out in the Final.
Will Mayo finally break their hoodoo - very unlikely tbh, but we all live in hope…. ;o)
lol
A quick word on Kobe - what a talent he is.
Unbelievable potential.
And only 18. Wow.
Superb." They weren't all incorrect though. The square ball obviously was but the penalty call was correct (it's a stupid foul by O Cofaigh Byrne but it's definitely a foul) and the disallowed goal isn't clearly wrong either. I've seen a bunch of angles in it and I think you can squint a d imagine the compressed ball is fractionally over the line, but even then I'm not sure. You're saying it as if it's obvious and it most certainly is not. If those two calls had gone against Kerry I'd be fairly annoyed. That says they were marginal ones. Not clearly wrong

Huge and special praise for Roscommon women footballers.
U16s and U18s girls into All-Ireland finals and today the Intermediate team has reach the Croke Park final. Well done to all involved.
When you add in male Connacht titles with Roscommon Seniors,U20s,U17s and Brigids,Strokestown. Not half bad for county of our size and resources

Replying To Seniorleague: "On a side note,Clifford was very quiet today but STILL left the pitch with 1-6 to his name. The man is unreal." He's the best forward I've ever seen, but he was blocked, dispossessed and beaten to the ball more often today than I've ever seen before. Kicked a few poor efforts too.
The goal was handed to him in fairness. A very poor penalty. It was so central that Comerford actually dived too far and as a result the rebound came straight back to him. If it was a bit closer to the post the save would have pushed the ball out to the side. There's no doubt he had a lot of good fortune today. Even a score in the second half, he was dispossessed brilliantly, the Dublin defender was fouled coming out didn't get the free and he gets the ball back for a tap over.

I thought that dublin rode their luck with refereeing decisions in the quarter final but what happened today was off the charts in terms of being on the wrong side of bad calls. Human error mistakes will happen in every game but mostly they average out or worst case lead to a 2 or 3 point scoring differential. Today there was a clear 9 point swing. 2 of the goal swings were undebatable. You could potentially debate the penalty but in my opinion 95 times out of 100 that would not have been given as a penalty. Must be very frustrating for Dublin. In Galway we were frustrated with decisions in the QF v Dublin but to be fair they were much more marginal than today and in any case Dublin deserved the win that day. But today there was no marginality about the decisions and they cost Dublin, who were the better team and deserved to win. Unfortunately i have a feeling that Kerry underperformed in both the QF and SF and still won and i fear they will save their best performance for the final ( like last year) . Im still hoping that Mayo can dig something out but its a massive challenge for them

Thank you Ciaran." No words can describe the commitment and effort that he gave us over the years, a lot of which went unnoticed. He could have jacked it in last year but stayed on to help lead the lads under Ger. A true role model and one of the greats. Thanks for giving us some of the best sporting days of our lives CK.

Replying To endgame: "Would you prefer Mayo's season or Roscommon's season. I'd prefer no Nestor cup and championship wins in Croke Park and an All Ireland appearance to a Connacht title. And what of next year. Would you be happy again with a Connacht title and nowhere in the All Ireland series . Connacht and beating Mayo and Galway cannot be Roscommon's summit. We need to get to croke Park and win in Croke Park. It was there for us this year but we didn't do it." New management, load of new players, 8 or 9 Brigids lads on Club duty.....
Staying in D1 and winning Connacht were magnificent achievements.
Next year neither ,while nice, should be priorities .
We didn't perform or beat Monaghan so we were going nowhere in the AI series.

One big call went against Dublin. It was a square ball for Kerrys 2nd goal. I am not convinced on the other 2. I think it was a foul on Joe O'Connor. It was not shoulder to shoulder. Not sure if all the ball crossed the line either. I do agree that technology is needed for these decisions. Ladies football already use this so why not use the same here. In fairness the umpire was nowhere near where he should have been.
I do think Kerry were the better team overall. Would Thomas Kennedy have gone for a point near the end and would Clifford have gone for goal if Kerry were behind. He had the legs on the Dublin defender here.
Dublin did kick a lot of wides but in fairness there was a strong enough breeze so you cant fault them for some of their misses. Kerry kicked one or 2 bad wides in that 2nd half as well
Ger Brennan will win the AI with this Dublin team. He has done a great job with them. I think he is a top manager.

It has been some turnaround since the start of the season. As Ger referred to in this interview - hopefully he can work his magic and persuade the old timers to stay on for next season, and they don't make any quick rash decisions on retirement.
Their efforts were massively acknowledged and appreciated from the Hill and within the stadium, after the game ended. Our players stayed on the pitch long after the final whistle to take that in." CK has just announced his Inter County retirement.
What a player, what a warrior, what a legend of Dublin GAA.
Thank you Ciaran.

Some win for the woman yesterday first time in croker in 25 years with a great chance of winning it. Seen the last 20 mins was a great watch - i will be in croker reluctantly say its a long time since i have been to a womans game but will make the effort. Some great stories within the team of close calls over the past few years Kate Nolan eddies sister coming back from a serious knee injury, Laura Mannion coming back from having a baby afew months ago, 22 point defeat to leitrim, county board stepping down hopefully they can finish the job. Great week for the Roscommon LGFA with the u16. Minor and intermiediates all in the all ireland final.

Replying To endgame: "Yes but Louth collapsed yesterday due to the hype in the county and Cork were poor so Mayo had a handy run to the final. Despite being unimpressive and lucky today, I fear Kerry will beat Mayo easily in the final. As for Roscommon, it was a year where we could have gone a lot further in the championship but the dancing at the crossroads after winning a provincial title can't have helped the team's focus for the All Ireland series. Lessons to be learned hopefully for next year." When Roscommon lost to Monaghan it was a collapse…when Mayo won to Louth it was a collapse by Louth but when Mayo lost to Roscommon it wasn't a Mayo collapse! I think give Mayo credit where it's due

Replying To legendzxix: "There was talk about whether there should be a tier 3 in football. Division 4 counties were adamant that they did not want a glorified Division 4 cup. Wicklow now will be the north start for all in Division 4.
Those suggesting a tier 3 in football were saying to look at hurling. Wicklow have flipped the script! Hurling should look at football's Tailteann and expand the Joe Mac to 2 groups of 5." Gap is far wider in Hurling than football.
Wicklow pushed Dublin all the way and Dublin pushed Kerry all the way yesterday.
Down on their good day was able to beat Donegal the same Donegal who beat Kerry three times this year
You wouldn't see that in Hurling.
