Replying To sourmilk93:  "Probably over priced at 7s , they are probably the only team that will put it up to Brigids with Pearses now down two of their better players.

Fergal's last few clubs jobs didn't go great so he will be hoping to improve that with Boyle."
Forever the man who brought Roscommon minor footballers from not winning a championship match outside Connacht since 1951 to winning the All Ireland title in 2006.

Shows what we are capable of when we play to our best by beating All-Ireland Finalists by 10 points.

On the flip side the loss to Monaghan who couldn't beat a 14 man Louth shows how bad we can be when we don't perform on the day.

The work continues to find a consistent Roscommon team.

You might be waiting. The "most Roscommon thing" is a spot on comment.

This Mayo team and the way they are playing is completely different to the Mayo team that we played in April.

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

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.

Played better yesterday however match stats for Mayo v Cork was almost a carbon copy v Roscommon. The difference was the shooting efficiency with Cork' and Roscommon.

Very well said Analyser, and great to hear some positive news for a change. You really put things into perspective by outlining the great performance of eight Roscommon teams this year.
Great to see the ladies under 17's, minor and intermediate teams all making it to All Ireland finals.
Hopefully they will all get great support.

Going by that logic could we say Mayo collapsed in the second half v Roscommon?

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.
