Galway were very flat and only team that would have been lucky is Galway had come away with a draw or a win. Was a mistake to throw Shane Walsh straight in after a long lay off. Best forward was the youngest fella Thompson who went off injured. Galway have now made it harder on themselves to get out of the group
Seeing that I'm on the Roscommon thread a piece on your match. You were competitive for the first 50 minutes against All Ireland contender in their back yard improvement on Salthil which was over after 25 minutes?. The goals in a short space of time ended whatever hope you had of delivering a competitive performance for 70 minutes. Meath beat Dublin and Cork drew with Kerry in 70 minutes so it's a uphill challenge for Roscommon to reach the knock out stage."
We did not compete with Kerry for 50 mins Kerry didn't get out of second gear for most of the match I dunno what some of u lads are watching The game in salt hill was a cracker ya there were mistakes but it was a full bodied championship match both teams going at it to win it Roscommon are not capable at the moment of competing in a game like that simple as

50 minute's, it has been the same now with every game since the Meath game bar Cork and London and the Galway game was really over at HT. And it's an equal opportunities approach from the AI contenders Kerry right through to the relegated to Div 3 Westmeath. As has been stated many times our attacking play is trapped in the old rules of sideways back ways slowly slowly and we have no defensive structure worth talking about. The Galway Dublin game might have been error ridden but intensity levels are way ahead of what Roscommon bring. Monaghan who we probably more realistically should be comparing ourselves to are well ahead of us in that department too.

You are watching too much F1 with gear talk.
Cracker and superb contest you have called Dublin Galway game. Dublin are only middling and while they got a earned a deserved win they showed in that match how and why they lost to Meath. Galway was flat for the majority of the game best period for them was at the start of both halves.
