So much for Brigids running away with things in the Roscommon championship this year. Had to settle for 2nd place in group and could get a real banana skin quarter final now. Glaveys a decent team, semi-finalists last year and close to reaching the final, plenty of senior,U20 county experience in their ranks and managed by Iain Daly who was coach alongside Anthony Cunningham in Roscommon 2019 Connacht success when both Galway and Mayo was beaten away.

Glaveys had a great win last night. Brigid's looked like Roscommon did in Cunninghams final year with Roscommon. They looked like a team over coached and afraid to have a go. Brigid's biggest mistake was not trying to keep the Kerry man on after reaching all Ireland final because he had them playing Savage football. Clann looked good and elphin are safe. I watched elphin and western gaels late last night and elphin were the better team but both look like intermediate teams. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1314 - 30/08/2025 07:24:21 2634194 Link
Replying To S1234: "No pressure on Andy . Everyone knows Mayo are in transition. It will take time to rebuild. Not always about the Dubs you know .." You're very naive if you think that. The mentality of the modern sports fan is they demand progress and success…Mayo is a pressure job. If Mayo don't progress to a quarter final or at least win a Connavbt title next year and shows big signs of progress, the pressure absolutely will be on Andy. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11758 - 30/08/2025 08:14:51 2634195 Link

Replying To The_analyser: "Iain Daly who will be part of Mark Dowds Roscommon management team led Glaveys to a deserved and eye catching five point win against Brigids tonight. Elphin found their scoring boots 2-13 tonight to avoid a relegation play off and sent Western Gaels into one yet again. Clann and Pearses with comfortable wins" Well Holy God as Miley used to say! Didn't see that coming. Could that be Brigids Kerry v Meath moment or maybe they are not as safe a bet as most of us thought. Huge win for Elphin fair play to them. Didn't see them able to rack up that score. Pearses going into a prelim makes the final group games very interesting. Oran really have to go for it against Boyle now.

Well done Glaveys on their deserved win last night. Wake up call for our players. Lots of mistakes and taking wrong options and we were not up for the fight. They will learn a lot from the game. Shows how competitive the roscommon championship is. Pearses ending up in third place and a preliminary quarter final. Anyone can beat each other as this year has shown. If anything it will get more people to the games which is good. Roscommon Gaels stand is excellent and helped the atmosphere Still think one of St brigids Pearses and boyle will win the championship. Going to watch boyle tonight play against oran. BrigidsToom (Roscommon) - Posts: 41 - 30/08/2025 10:18:34 2634209 Link

More pressure on your man joyce Belclare. He said himself if he doesn't win an All Ireland it's failure Cumann1 (Mayo) - Posts: 83 - 30/08/2025 10:43:52 2634210 Link
Replying To Cumann1: "More pressure on your man joyce Belclare. He said himself if he doesn't win an All Ireland it's failure" Is it Elphin v North Ros and Pearses v Oran/Ros G/ Boyle in the Prelims? Oran most likely. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 96 - 30/08/2025 11:23:14 2634214 Link

I'd be happy with Connacht and a quarter final. It is pressure . But we are in transition and you are naive if you think otherwise. We need to be patient with Andy give him time it's a rebuild job .

Worked for the league as we topped the Div 2 table and beat Galway in a high scoring scoring league final in Croke Park however how open we were to counter attacking was really exposed against Galway in the Connnacht final and Clare in the last 12 tie. Last night full credit goes to Iain Daly and Glaveys a win thanks to a solid defensive team effort which is much harder to do now with new rules focused on offensive play.

No real surprises in the senior championship today with Boyle and Roscommon Gaels. Castlerea more competitive today than in previous two games so maybe some encouragement as join Western Gaels,Dominic's in relegation shootout. To be expected Tulsk,Éire Og,Strokestown topped their group and the county winner should come from one of them. Special praise to St Michael's on the progress they have made. Brigid's B team well able to give any team a decent match in the knock out stages. Kilbride,Pearses B and Barry's for the drop not easy to predict who will get relegated.

Replying To The_analyser: "Can you Mayo poster take your Mayo related chat to the Mayo thread." As is always the case it wasn't a Mayo person that introduced Mayo and Andy Moran to the conversation here. In this instance it was fullofporter 3 days ago, who may or may not be from Ros but is not from Mayo. Stop introducing Mayo to your chat and there won't be any Mayo chat, it's simple enough Cumann1 (Mayo) - Posts: 83 - 31/08/2025 13:14:26 2634329 Link

Are the last seeded QFs just pulled out of a hat? Group C finished as expected. Oran have it all to do against a Pearses team that seem to be building momentum. Donie showing huge leadership in Boyles win. Relegation now very interesting. Western Gaels might find themselves in right bother now. Some potentially cracking QFs, are teams that have played each other in the groups kept apart at QF? FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 328 - 31/08/2025 16:07:02 2634345 Link
