As Davy said, he is working with a smaller panel this year. We don't have the numbers Mayo/Galway have to put out a 3rd choice team. Also I don't think these games will do Enda any harm. He looks like he needs the game time to get back up to speed. I wouldn't expect him to play more than 35mins Friday night though.

I am hoping we have a friendly lined on grass before the Tyrone game. I know Galway played a friendly over the weekend. Hoping Davey doesn't play a strong hand on Friday with the Galway league game coming up so soon hontherossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 103 - 15/01/2024 11:39:01 2520262 Link 0 |
Rumor in Galway over the weekend is that Mark McHugh has joined up with Moycullen for the year ahead, reffingmad (Roscommon) - Posts: 374 - 15/01/2024 12:19:24 2520277 Link 0 |
We can only play with what is available. Was only 24 players togged on Saturday. Once the Brigids players and handful of injured players return (O'Rourke, R Daly, Fitzpatrick, Harney, Hussey return) our panel number will be up to the mid 30s So we aren't Galway or Mayo who can look their our panel of 50 to 60 players and pick a team to play in the dome and pick another team on the same day for a challenge outdoors.

I thought it was the travelling but if he's with Moycullen that mustn't be the case!

Team for this weekend against the development Galway line up. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3861 - 18/01/2024 19:37:12 2520873 Link 0 |
It's a bit of a dolly mixture alright but it is preseason so fellows been given a run out is a good thing. I'm a little perplex that Andrew Glennon is never given a bit of a run in the team. He's a real leader up front for Glaveys but gets very little time to settle in to the County team. I know we're not short of forwards but I think we're missing out on match winner.

Going well in the first half against Galway's third team(1-14 to 0-6) having lost a man to a black card. Some lovely foot passing particularly by Diarmuid Murtagh. Can't complain with 10 different scorers in the first half. Cathal Heneghan looks a class act. Great to have him back and going well. Several players looking like they have bulked up a bit and our shooting has been very accurate. One concern for me is that we are loosing too many of our long kickouts. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 612 - 19/01/2024 20:23:05 2521035 Link 0 |
A lot of left footed players around the Roscommon panel. Can't read much into tonight but Declan Kenny looks a nice footballer. Patrick Gavin also impressed. Andrew Glennon can offer something different up front. All roads lead to Omagh Sunday week. Minus of course our All star and our All Ireland club finalists .

Two players that stood out Mc Cormack and Heneghan and will be starters next week. Fitness levels over campaign looks good but we won't know till they hit the grass. Best of luck to Brigids. Its a free rein against a team who are hyped up. They have physical and well conditioned players but if Brigids are smart and avoid physical conformation then they have technical better players to win this. hontherossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 103 - 19/01/2024 22:21:25 2521047 Link 1 |

Well done to Roscommon, a win is a win even in these pre season cups it's all good for the future, just a question cause I have never been in the place but it must be a weird place to play football in that dome? I know it's great to out of the weather though. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2934 - 20/01/2024 08:29:03 2521067 Link 0 |

Better not get in to Omagh too early or one could be handed the no 26 Jersey. Too handy last night but I suppose it was 3 useful workouts for the lads and a chance for the new kids to play alongside the older guard. Be interesting to see which of them make the starting 15 or the match day 20. Any resemblance between those 3 workouts and Omagh is purely coincidental as it will be a whole different world.

Our development lads were by in large very disappointing last night against a strong Roscommon line up. I didn't expect our development lads today to win but I felt they capitulated far too easily - still, they're young and learning. Good luck in Omagh and best of luck to Brigids and we'll see ye in the Hyde for hopefully a good old tussle with ye on 4th Feb. togoutlads (Galway) - Posts: 958 - 20/01/2024 15:11:58 2521133 Link 2 |
Wishing St.Brigids the best tomorrow. After what happened last year in the final all sympathy went to Glen so everyone is really hoping they win this time. Sympathy won't win games so it will be a close call. Nice if the title came locally eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1861 - 20/01/2024 15:26:26 2521134 Link 2 |
Good luck to Brigids tomorrow. Glen are impressive and a lot of talk about them that this is their time…no such thing exists and I've seen it with my own county. Hopefully there will be two all Ireland cups crossing the Shannon Sunday evening. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11368 - 20/01/2024 17:41:15 2521163 Link 4 |
