Replying To KingdomBoy1: "Good scoring in the FBD final last night,, was that due to the game being on in the dome or was it just an open game." A bit of both. And a small bit of poor defending by both sides helped as well.

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Looked at the deferred coverage on tg4 …. The Dome looks very impressive… I have one picky point of complaint though… It might be me but I found it quite difficult to clearly see the goal posts up against the complete white background…! What do others think…. It would be easily rectified" Was thinking the same but it looks the area behind both goals is grey compared to the white dome elsewhere, to see posts better.

Roscommon, they always seem to beat them handily enough in league games and FBD. To be expected I suppose
Roscommon teams aren't renowned for winning silverware and have got plenty up for FBD leagues in recent years
PressureKick (UK)
-------------------------------
Roscommon won the FBD in 2015,2018 and 2019 beating Galway in the final. Two Roscommon teams have won Provincial titles in the last week, I think I'd take that success over a pre season competition.

Replying To Gaa_lover: "You do realise it's 4-3 on FBD titles won in the last 7 FBD finals and Connacht championship titles two each won in the last 6 years.
Galway last night featured 12 of the team that started the Connacht championship meeting between the two last July of the three missing two of them will not be playing for Galway this year. So Galway had the more experienced team out, Roscommon blooding a lot of new players or extended panelists.
It was a game of two halves Roscommon the better team 1st half should have led by more, Galway goal came totally against the run of play and from Roscommon poorly losing possession and getting caught out on the break. Galway the better team 2nd half. In the end a 2 or 3 point margin a true reflection of the match and Galway certainly looked like the side that had more strength and conditioning work done over the winter. Lessons learnt perhaps from the trimming they got in the league opener last year?" Goalposts impossible to see on TV against the white background in the Dome. Should perhaps be painted black for better visibility. The 2 point losing margin clearly flattered Roscommon. Galway ought to have won by 5 or 6. The Ros goal was a gift.

Maybe we had 12 of the 24 listed for the Rossie match last Sumner but certainly not 12 of the starting team that day. 7 of last night's starting Galway team are new or new ish enough and were not in the 1st 15 last Summer. I would say all teams are trying out new players in these pre league competitions. As for S&C it is a throw of the dice as to who did more or less. A lot of guess work methinks. We are working off a panel of 39 with this I presume being trimmed in the course of the season. The only difference in player availability I would think is the Rossies would have more out due to Club commitments with the Pearses guys unavailable. We would have possibly two Naomh Anna lads on the panel and missing Mulkerrins now unfortunately. Not sure how many Faithleach guys would make the Ros panel.

Although it was good to win the first 2 games of the year I can't see us doing much this year when the real football starts. Conroy was again very good as was Silke and sean Kelly. Not going to name them but we simply have too many who are not good enough. We let them bully us even and they without the Dalys. Positive side this goalie seems an improvement and Sweeney and Gill may make it in time. Midfield issues are unlikely to be sorted. Hopefully we can survive in div 2 but it's far from certain IMO.

If one was to focus only on the second half then yes Galway ought to have won by 5 or 6 however it was a 70 plus minute game and balance of play 2 or 3 point margin was about right

We would have possibly two Naomh Anna lads on the panel and missing Mulkerrins now unfortunately. Not sure how many Faithleach guys would make the Ros panel.

Three from Faithleachs on the panel, the Murtaghs brothers are first choice players. Apparently 8 from Pearses with 4 or 5 are starters
We have a number of injuries to establish players Niall Kilroy, Sean Mullooly, Brian Stack, Conor Hussey and Colm Lavin and we are so light on options at the moment especially defensively.

To answer this reply well ourselves and your own Galway are in Division 2 for a reason and you should be very thankful that PJ has a near full strength panel to choose from giving Galway the best possible opportunity to gain promotion.

Peter Cooke and Mulkerrins would be definite starters and Michael Daly (a likely starter) if he was in the panel. Originally he was taking a year out but now may be impacted by the club fall out. Also many of those u20s from 2020 who played through the FBD would not be considered championship starters yet. Either way the 3 I mentioned are significant losses for us in terms of quality in key positions.

Was inside the dome today for the first time for UL v LYIT. Some great footballers on display. What a facility. Four games on there today. Schools games on tomorrow again. Load of clubs from various counties have slots booked between now and April I was told. If it's a white elephant it's a very busy elephant.
