Replying To Seanfan:  "To use that awful phrase - we are where we are, which is needing 1 point to be safe from relegation.
Our score difference wrecked last Sunday.

If we lose our last 2 we have to depend on Dublin, Armagh or Galway results. Complicated by Dublin having to play both so we need Dublin to beat Armagh.

Mathematically we can still make the Final and Monaghan can avoid relegation!!"
A draw in Dublin V Armagh then we are safe from relegation also. So all eyes on that game Saturday week in Croke Park.

Dublin are 5/4 to win. Armagh were left to rue their wastefulness against Mayo,Roscommon and Galway a bad habit that's hard to break however if they have a rare good shooting efficiency day then they can beat Dublin.

Replying To sligo joe:  "True Rossies had a good few chances but their goalie had a couple of real good saves in the first half too. Roscommon needed a big first 10 in the second period, didn't happen, last twenty five to thirty minutes was a combination of Dublin slowing it down and Roscommon forcing it."
I thought senan lambe was excellent v dubs but once or twice got caught with high solo. Neary very good doyle very good second half. Higgins was very good when introduced. Keogh a good find at full back. A few lads still out injured and late back will help the squad. St brigids lads ate not up to speed yet sfter a welll deserved break. I think Brady is a great addition and would put him ahead of carroll. Duggan could be a good addition, big man needed around the middle hopefully he will continue to develop. Dubs man marked smith murtagh and cregg. Murchan is probably one of the best man markers around at the moment . Good progress new players developing and more experienced lads to return. Would be great to stay in division 1 for another year, which probably wasnt expected taking everything into consideration

Good analysis. Sunday seemed like a complete misfire from Roscommon. But to me at least, they have built up plenty of credit in the bank so far this year, putting in very strong performances in 4 out of the 5 matches. Colm Neary, Niall Higgins, Keogh and Senan Lambe are all consistently good performers. Senan did seem to tire near the end against Dublin, and made some uncharacteristic mistakes. The Brigid's lads were definitely not up to the pace, but they needed the gametime. Conor Hand will be a different kettle of fish in a game or two. I can see Ruaidhrí Fallon powering the team over the next few years. And yes, for some reason Brady is the more solid all round option at the moment between the sticks. However, Conor Carroll is a sensational shot stopper. If it wasn't for his saves on Sunday, it could have been a complete annihilation. Once he gets his kick outs back to where they were before, and his speed on restarts, he'll be a force once again.

What's all the dots for did you fall asleep on the keyboard? Anyone at the match or watched the highlights will have seen how wasteful Armagh were and indeed throughout the league campaign.
