Replying To dave1988: "It's just so annoying to see a performance like that when it really matters. We need to look at what the hell is our problem when it really matters. No shape plan or intensity to our play today. No leaders on the pitch. It was embarrassing watching that. Mark dowd needs to really look at our mentality and get to the bottom of why we can't perform when it really matters." Bit harsh on Matk Diwd. He will the geto in the spring when D1 football was secured and in Nay when the Connacht titcame come. Now that we lose to 2 Ulster teams in AI race people are questioning Mark???

Replying To galwayfball: "Hard luck. I hate how much Roscommon under perform outside of Connacht. I can only imagine how disappointing it is for Roscommon supporters. Serious talent there." With the talent available there is no question Roscommon seriously underachie in the All-Ireland series. When you are competitive in Division 1 and win the Connacht championship by beating Division 1 opposition makes the underachieving all the more puzzling. Might add and he's only one player but Roscommon with Enda Smith most if not all of the good displays this year came from his huge contributions but today they were totally lost without him and was panic stations when he was brought on with 7 minutes to do and clearly injured.

The Connacht final really mattered and Roscommon performed well and won a tight match. Today was a shocking performance from Roscommon. It's hard to understand how we were so bad. Monaghan could have won that match by 20 points. Perhaps the hype after winning Connacht got to the players. A lot of our players are young though and they should learn a lot from this season. Roscommon need to aspire for more than a provincial title. We do seem to struggle outside Connacht. Even our great team of the late 1970s lost three All Ireland semi finals before winning one. It's a very disappointing end to the inter county season for Roscommon and the minors were really poor last week as well against Ulster opposition. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2700 - 13/06/2026 21:24:14 2679371 Link
