If Mayo lost against Monaghan we could have been drawn away to Kerry in the next round in a knockout game so you can't ignore the importance of that win

Yes that 's right. The day Fallon was sent off. We were well beaten. Hopefully next year again.

If my Aunt had.. he's right those are the teams you beat to reach the semi-final no ifs or buts about it

Memory has improved today. A two score game and the two extra scores was Armagh Goals one of them a total gift. We'll never know how that contest would have went if Roscommon didn't play half the game with 14 men.

I know I am contradicting myself but looking at Monaghan today I am looking at a missed opportunity. This should have been a magic year Jack L (None) - Posts: 3233 - 28/06/2026 15:02:50 2682410 Link 0 |

Let it go. Time to rebuild with what we have and get players in. Mentality/attitude change needed too.

Knew before today that our performance in Clones said more about us than Monaghan and today rubber stamped it. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4419 - 28/06/2026 16:19:49 2682447 Link 0 |

Looking at Louth and Mayo in an All Ireland semi final, it's a huge missed opportunity for Roscommon. Was it Brolly who said we made Monaghan look like All Ireland champions. Sorry for Galway. Thought it might be their year but that's probably the end of Joyce, Conroy and maybe Walsh. Mayo the last Connacht team standing now. Hope Roscommon learn from this season. A great Connacht title won but nowhere near the business end of the championship. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2725 - 28/06/2026 18:33:18 2682528 Link 0 |

Yes lover we'll never know how that game would have gone if Ros had 15 players. My memory has improved today but your grammar hasn't.

The modal verbs do none of us one any good. We can 'would have' 'could have' and 'should have' till the cows come home but we're better off looking ahead. A brilliant year up until the All-Ireland series then collapse. It hurts more this year as we know we were actually good enough to go and do something big but it didn't happen. Does anyone know if we have a sports psychologist involved? I feel we no longer lack a decent manager, strategy, players, cohesion etc. The only thing left is psychology. What can the team do to get that part right next year? SpanishRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 40 - 28/06/2026 19:22:05 2682580 Link 0 |

Apart from a couple of players, that's a very young Roscommon team. The celebrations and hype after the Connacht final win must have affected them. The hope is that the players learn from this year and realise that the All Ireland series starts after the provincial final. It is a missed opportunity for sure but I still feel optimistic for next year.

Would you rather Davy Burke was in his fourth year as Roscommon manager in 2026? Mark Dowd did great. Created competition for places, returning Brigids and Strokestown not strolling back in to starting 15. Very comfortably staying in Division 1. Won the Nestor Cup playing great football. I get it that many supporters aren't happy they didn't go further in All Ireland series but it was a very good start to his tenure.
