Good win at the weekend and can't complain with 2 wins from 2. On a side note, what on earth did Conor Cox get his black card for?? He got clotheslined!

Yes the worst refereeing decision I've seen in a long time. He was completely taken out of it by the Meathman and should have been a black card for Meath and free in to Ros. How the ref decided it was a free out and a black card for Cox I'll never know. Meath could have had a couple more black cards too with Enda Smith taken down when breaking through on goal also. Still great to come away with the win and no injuries picked up. I wonder will management decide to stay with a settled team for Clare and introduce the Pearses and Faithleachs lads bit by bit and ease them back in? It'd be nice to finish a game with a potentially stronger team than what started.

I'll take a stab but its very hard to know at this stage.
1. Colm Lavin - Hard to see management changing at this stage, he was decent by all accounts Sunday, but hopefully if league safety is secured early enough, maybe Carroll can get a game or two?
2. David Murray - Hard to argue here
3. Conor Daly - If Mulooly isn't back then I think Conor will slot into full back, hasn't the same athleticism as Stack so Stack would be better used as a half back and Conor is physically stronger for full back.
4. McCormick and Lennon look the obvious candidates at this stage so whichever one of them has the better league I suppose?
5 Niall Daly - No debate
6. Conor Hussey - No debate
7. Brian Stack - Feel we can get a lot out of Stack in the half back line
8. Ultan Harney - Strong start to league campaign please god stays injury free
9. Eddie Nolan - Improving all the time, deserves to start
10. Richard Hughes could be an option here and Niall Kilroy - Every year I feel maybe he will lose his place but keeps proving me wrong, underrated
11. Ciaran Murtagh - Feel 11 is his best position
12. Enda Smith
13. Cian McKeon - Hard to drop him right now, so direct has got stronger and is our best tackling forward, can come deep and get on ball interchange with Murtagh etc
14. Conor Cox
15. Toss up between Diarmuid Murtagh and Heneghan, Heneghan offers something different and not sure if Cox and Murtagh can both play inside we will see.
16. Conor Carroll
17. Lennon/ McCormick
18. Ruane
19. Colin Walsh
20. Hughes (if doesn't start)
21. Cunnane
22. Connelly (Hasn't kicked a ball at senior level but I'd be interested to see what he could offer)
23. Lawless
24. Donie Smith
25. Murtagh / Heneghan
26. Carey
I'm not including the likes of Ronan Daly, O Rouke and Mulooly as we are not sure what they're story is

Best of luck to him, Hughes looks to be stepping up so far this season so we are lucky in that regard although different players.

Looking at the masters fixtures and talking to afew players and officials around the county clubs are not too impressed with the fixtures.
Many clubs will be without competitive football from the middle of june until august and even from march to June will only play a maximum of 9 games if they get to the league final. So thats a maximum of 9 games in 23 weeks with the majority of teams only getting 6 games in 23 weeks up until championship if they are knocked out in the quarter fnal of the league or relegation.
No wonder we are losing players to other sports - teams are gone back training the last week or two so between the 10th of february and the 5th of august they will play a max of 9 and a minimum of 6 competitive GAA games.
How do we expect players to develop etc - leagues should go back to the way they were before covid everyone in each division plays eachother. This gives the opportunity for managers to have a look at young lads but if every game is a must win that will not happen.
I know there is a arguments with refs and other competitions etc but the GAA need to do more to incentives people to big up the whistle.
Simply not good enough to expect young lads to put their lives on hold training 8 weeks with no game in the best months of the summer. serious considerations need to be made. this was raised by a number of clubs in the county and raised by players

Club Leagues should go ahead without Co players so the 98% who never get near a County team can have a meaningful and adequate set of games.

Really should be more not less games after these players already had much less games due to Covid over the last two years.
Lack of games middle of June until early August would suggest that the county board expect a glut of club players are going to travel overseas for the summer, they are encouraged to do so with this schedule.

Have we anyone in Roscommon at the moment anyone feels is totally played out of position.. just listened to paddy Andrews saying how he started out as a Conor back for Dublin. You even think of Andy Moran as wing back for years and probably only at the age of 27/28 maybe older was put into corner forward and won all-stars and player of the year. I also heard Conor MC Manus was wing back in his early 20s for Monaghan . Dose it take a really good manager to be able to see these things in footballers and make the change.

Well worth his place on the panel.

Limerick hurling team comes to mind, Declan Hannon switched from wing forward to centre back, Nash from corner forward to corner back, Hayes from centre forward to wing back.. From Ros perspective Conor Daly could play wing forward and act as a 3rd midfielder if Mullooly comes back, Niall Day could play centre forward, Could Donie Smith or Diarmuid Murtagh reinvent themselves as a centre forward, both might be good playmakers with good vision to deliver quick ball ?
