Bekan is a fine facility & John Prenty has managed the capital outlay very well, unlike the rest of the GAA hierarchy who have no control or oversight on capital projects as we saw with Pairc Ui Chaoimh & other projects like Mc Hale Park, Hyde Park etc. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 10/01/2022 11:03:50 2394349 Link 0 |

If its a glorified challenge match then don't fulfill it. Let beaten semi finalists take their place, I'm sure they'd manage to get a team out for what is a longer journey for many of their players.

Why should it be in Roscommon? If players are unable to take time off work for the game there's strong numbers of panels involved and they should be able to get 15-20 players out of that surely.

Big boy football? Something youse never have to talk about either in fairness. At least Mayo and Galway are competitive in the championship. You said earlier this was a glorified challenge, now its a competition, I suppose if youse win it will be a comp and if ya lose it will be a challenge game, right?

Even a glorified Challenge wouldn't be fixed for that hour of a Friday evening. Its ridiculous and anyone who isn't trying to act the clown would agree. Plenty of lads based in Dublin working will have to take a half day to get down for the game. Any truth to the rumour the Leitrim Heros of 2013 and 2014 are been honoured at half time? sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1142 - 10/01/2022 16:00:47 2394423 Link 1 |
Some achievement in fairness, were else would u honour such a achievement but in that setting.

But shur if its a problem don't fulfill it. Another team will step in. If it is a challenge game young fellas could go into the panel and play I'm sure. They'd be bigger fools to take a half day of their holidays to play in it. Not sure what kind of baloney you do be fed about some heroes or whatever being honoured but if it pleases you then fair play to you. It's as valid a thought as some of the other stuff you come out with.

It will be held at the grand opening of the Roscommon centre of excellence in 2059

If Mayo GAA are going to use this as a de facto base for their county teams then I am sorry there is only one county who will get any sort of tangible benefit from this overall. The recent scrapping of a proposed centre in Castlebar confirms as much. ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1566 - 10/01/2022 17:30:49 2394442 Link 0 |
Because in the home and away cycle it's Ros' turn to host Galway .

It's actually sad when the biggest claim Leitrim football have its a training ground. That's is what has brought the most pride to the likes of yourself haha what a sad life that must be. Not a COE and I see very little excellence out of it.

The timing of the game is due to Covid regulations, indoor venues have to be cleared by 8 pm. Makes the mind boggle way they wouldn't play it outdoors and allow some fans the opportunity to attend.

Because they had to try and get some high profile teams to use the dome, so they used the only competition they have full control over to do it. Big PR offensive about the dome lately after various club teams refused to play on it due to increased risk of injury. PierreBezuhov (UK) - Posts: 226 - 11/01/2022 09:36:06 2394487 Link 2 |
If John Prenty had respect for the players and supporters this final would be played outdoors on Sunday afternoon with up to 5,000 in attendance than 5:45 on Friday evening indoors with 300 watching. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 11/01/2022 10:19:59 2394491 Link 0 |
I think our biggest claim is we know our limitations and yes having built this fine facility that your own clubs borrow is something to be proud of, perhaps when Roscommon build one in the next few decades you'll feel the same. You only recently got a half decent field in your main pitch. Because certainly just like us you'll never get within an asses roar of winning an all Ireland, unlike Galway or Mayo. When your supporters realise in this regard youse are no better than Sligo or Leitrim or Carlow or Longford etc then you might see how silly your notions are.

Bull. A training ground is all well and good but i would rather results on the field. What good is a hape of pitches together is you have not good one decent footballer. Leitrims best player attempted to transfer to Roscommon and was surplus to requirements. Tells a lot doesn't it. Don't know any Roscommon supporter who expects to win an All Ireland. The goal has been a 1/4 or semi final. Our silverware in recent years and the level we have played in league shows we are miles better than the four counties you named. You are deluded to think otherwise. Anyway back to your bedroom to stare at the back to back heros team photo you have on your wall. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1142 - 11/01/2022 11:18:39 2394502 Link 0 |
