Standard of D1 seems to have been terrible this year. Tyrone and Monaghan beaten by an extremely average Derry team. Donegal struggled against a D4 team. Kildare made hard work of a poor westmeath team. Galway were full vakue for beating D1 finalist Mayo. Kerry took a while put a shambolic Cork side away sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 15/05/2022 19:32:16 2417363 Link 1 |

Bar Kerry most Division 1 teams looked to be minding themselves a bit because championship was so close afterwards. Could have been a lot of overthinking there maybe. Divisions 2 and 3 were way more competitive, games counting for promotion to Division 1, relegation to 4 or trying to avoid the Tailteann Cup. Being tested in competitive league games has stood to those teams, Limerick another example.

Are Derry 'extremely average'? I looked at that match yesterday, and thought they were kinda good.

Tickets go on sale later today for Connacht final. Time to finally get the Galway support out. These lads deserve it. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 903 - 16/05/2022 11:45:50 2417612 Link 1 |

Galway hammered them in the league and we would have done the same only for the ref. we were 6 or 7 up and ref lost the plot. From what i seen earlier in the league i believe they are yes, I think they will be found out yet in a big way. Only my opinion though sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 16/05/2022 11:57:35 2417617 Link 0 |

Derry are decent. People talk a lot of rubbish about gaps between teams. In my view Dublin & Kerry are a level above the next batch but the next 9 (6 D1 teams plus Rossies, Galway & Derry) can all beat each other on a given day. Yes some are ahead of others but on the day if they are not right they will lose. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1829 - 16/05/2022 12:09:22 2417626 Link 1 |

As much as I would like to concur its Roscommon's to lose at this stage and I cannot see beyond the Rossies for Connacht!

You'll have to do better than that 'in the league' one. Didn't Waterford hammer Cork 'in the league' some weeks back, in the final of it no less. Then yesterday happened, and now their championship hopes 2022 are on life support. Didn't Ros bate Kerry in Kerry some short few seasons back 'in the league'!!

No obviously not. The intensity, energy has brought about two fine wins. Donegal has got a good look at them now though.

Former player Eddie hoare reckons this year is a repeat of 1998. Back then Played Mayo away in the first round, Leitrim and Roscommon next and Derry in the All-Ireland semi final. I doubt Kildare will reach the All-Ireland final though

Shane McQuigan was not playing for Derry when Galway beat them in the league so he is worth a good few points on any given day.

Roscommon have only half the population that Mayo have and they have only a quarter of the population that Galway have, yet they have won 2 of the last 5 Connacht titles. They are not bothered about History. They have as much right to put themselves on a pedestal in Connacht as Mayo or Galway.

The mask eventually slips with you who has been on Roscommon thread trying to put us on pedastel as favourites for this upcoming final and pretending that you don't understand match odds and how bookmaking market work. In summary Galway the favourites against a side that has won nothing since 1944. Should we bother turning up at all? The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3755 - 16/05/2022 17:57:40 2417887 Link 4 |

Mayo lads using population is hillarious, ye'd know ye have no competition for football. 1st off you can eliminate 35-50% of Galway clubs because their all hurling. Then look at the populations hubs (Galway / Tuam / Ballinasloe / Loughrea and Oranmore) - your massivley competing with soccer and rugby in towns. Its a very poor way to look at overall football dominance in terms of population alone - yes it helps but its only one factor The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 706 - 17/05/2022 09:11:02 2417975 Link 1 |
