Firstly well done to Monaghan and any of their posters on here. Fully deserved their win and good value for their 9 point win.
As for us we saved our worst performance of the year for the last match. Kickouts not finding them men, us not showing the intensity and fight in the middle 8 that was required. Defensively very poor lacked shape and players so often left flatfooted.
Not a whole lot of difference between Tyrone and Monaghan but how different our performances was 3 weeks apart was something else. One thing for sure we wouldn't have stayed up in Division one or even reached the Connacht final had we played similar to that today.
Finally thanks to players and management for what was a transitional year on the line and with many new or newish faces getting their chance and where we secured Division 1 status and won Connacht.
Nobody will be hurting more than them and will know they are a whole lot better than what they showed today, that's football and sport unfortunately and we'll go again in 2027.

Replying To farneygael3: "Couldn't get today due to work. Controlled game here in 2nd half. As said before, once the Connaught championship is over the Rossies are best just packing it in" Well done to Monaghan. If ye took your chances ye'd have beaten us by 20 points. Roscommon were poor today but that's a mostly young Roscommon team who I think over the next few years will go well in the All Ireland series. Best of luck to Monaghan in the next round.

Replying To Southsligoman: "Champo baby.. we have had some luck so far!
Canice back is huge. Mullen too.
D bould mcgurn is a typical modern day gym footballer. Can kick a point strong and very athletic. A guy who lacks real talent but like gary neville has worked hard on his physique and has made the most of his ability. He needs marking. They have another forward love he is tidy.
A good team. Sligo by 2." Southsligoman.
I'd agree that most gaelic footballers are athletes now, due to the demands of the game and level of training the do.
On every county team there is a few players who may be relying on their athleticism/pace to play on the team however think Darragh McGurn may have a bit of "talent " now scoring 1-12 and 6 two pointers against Armagh might be good indicator that he has some football to go with his athleticism, as not every player does that!

It's bonus territory for Monaghan now...just the way we like it." We shouldn't like it, no wonder we've not won Sam.

Injuries-Due To Condensed Season? - 2 Like(s)
Reading all the previews of this weekend's matches it seems nearly every team involved has injuries preventing players from being on the starting 15. From memory (not great I admit), I don't remember such a high level of injuries.
Is it heavier training, wrong training methods, or does the condensed season contribute to it.
From quick memory, Meath, Kerry, Dublin, Roscommon, Westmeath, all seem to be missing starting players.

Replying To KerrymanStuckInDonegal: "Is it just me, or should Sherlocks last score been a one pointer instead of a two?" The bigger problem with that last one was the decision to move it forward. Watched the highlights last night, the Cork player got straight up for a solo and go and nobody blocked him at all. Poor decision from Gough.

Replying To dave1988: "It's just so annoying to see a performance like that when it really matters. We need to look at what the hell is our problem when it really matters. No shape plan or intensity to our play today. No leaders on the pitch. It was embarrassing watching that. Mark dowd needs to really look at our mentality and get to the bottom of why we can't perform when it really matters." The Connacht final really mattered and Roscommon performed well and won a tight match. Today was a shocking performance from Roscommon. It's hard to understand how we were so bad. Monaghan could have won that match by 20 points. Perhaps the hype after winning Connacht got to the players. A lot of our players are young though and they should learn a lot from this season. Roscommon need to aspire for more than a provincial title. We do seem to struggle outside Connacht. Even our great team of the late 1970s lost three All Ireland semi finals before winning one. It's a very disappointing end to the inter county season for Roscommon and the minors were really poor last week as well against Ulster opposition.

I think if roles were reversed we would be in the same boat and get beaten small population and winning a provincial its what roscommon and monaghan are about and when that's achieved we fold up the tent unfortunately were very similar in footballing terms but maybe pundits talk up the rossies a small bit too much there was talk of semi finals but its not a bad year to win senior u20 and minor in 1 year someday hopefully monaghan or roscommon can put a top 3 team out in croke Park and fulfill there potential anyway congrats on connaught title and sure its something to savour and no-one can take 2026 connaught title from yous good luck in 27

Replying To PoolSturgeon: "That minor team was losing by 12 points to Kilkenny and came back to draw and then win in extra time. A freakish kind of result. Imo the level of real ability in the team was best measured by the nature of their performance for the greater part of that game that produced that 12 point deficit. I dont think inflated egos had anything to do with it. Underage hurling in Munster is clearly of a higher standard than Leinster at the moment." But kilkenny also got hammered by cork..all 5 of the Munster counties would have won Leinster..

Some win for Cork. Going up to Ballybofey (where Donegal dont lose) and beating the All Ireland favorites is savage in fairness.
Biggest non covid win for them in 15 years

Kerry Peaking At Right Time? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To hlynch12: "Form looking at Donegal and Kerry game I said Kerry looked like a team not trying to win. Donegal peaked in league final and kerry put up white flag last day. Shane Ryan, Sean O'Shea, Tom O'Sullivan, Barry Dan O'Sullivan and Dara Moynihan will be back for Quarter Final. Gavin White, Paul Murphy and Paul Geaney got game time today . With Westmeath or Louth to play next day Kerry will be primed for QF like last year? Put €2k on kerry to win Sam Maguire at 9/2 after Donegal game. Are Kerry peaking at the right time like last year?" I always thought that whoever wants to win Sam will have to beat Kerry, even after the Donegal defeat. . Looking at Donegal today ? Possibly Galway might be good enough. It would be a brave man would back against the kingdom at this stage.
