Replying To S1234: "Well done on your all Ireland......" "Well done on your All Ireland! What a fool you are. Beaten comprehesively last Sunday. The vast majority of Roscommon supporters humble and understandably delighted with the result. But it wasn't the All Ireland. It was a Connacht semi final fyi and just another step for an opportunity to win a Connacht title against a fine Galway side. Ye got bate fair and square. Suck it up. We've got trimmings from ye the last decade or so in your golden age. Don't be so childish when now the shoe is on the other foot. For us we've only a fifty fifty chance of success in on the final. Maybe less, but the lads will work hard and remain humble. It's just a game bud! Less of the sour grapes. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1371 - 28/04/2026 11:36:39 2669469 Link
Replying To S1234: "Well done on your all Ireland......" Well that is rich coming from Mayo. Mayo like ourselves in Dublin are in rebuild. Dublin after the most glorious era any team has ever experienced and Mayo in fairness after their own best era as runners-up. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 1122 - 28/04/2026 11:48:08 2669472 Link
Replying To The_analyser: "Majority of your posting on here over the years has been on the Longford thread than on here. Have you even posted during the league campaign on here, I don't recall any post yet now you are very excitable now and even on the Galway thread trying to get a rise out of them." I've posted on here lots over the years. Considering I went to secondary school in Longford, played football with a majority of Longford lads and my homeplace is separated by a bridge and a bit of water from Longford, of course I'd have an interest in the club scene there. I probably have more mates who play football in Longford than Roscommon! But that does not make me a Longford man as much as you would like to push it!!!

Hopefully all players are fit and available for selection for the Connacht Final. It will be a huge day for Roscommon football. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2644 - 29/04/2026 02:03:39 2669662 Link

That half of football was probably the best half I've seen in a championship game in my lifetime watching Ross. The pace the accuracy the unrelenting wave after wave driving forward was a joy to watch. For the first time in a long time nobody will fancy playing the rossies. The squad looks strong with the Bridgid boys coming back which is great for completion. Murtagh What a player, seems to be playing the football of his life. Looking forward to the Connacht final, Galway are probably the 3-4 best team in the country so should be a great test as to where we stand. Looking forward to a great year and a big congratulations to Mark Dowd and the coaches what a job they have done, never seen them as fit. C' mon the Ross.

Oddball is free to express himself on this forum as a Roscommon supporter, or as a gael in general. Let's not police each other on how often we post, or try to suppress each other's excitement after such a spectacular win like that. There's so much positivity with our team at the moment and that's where our energy should be going. SpanishRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 37 - 29/04/2026 12:04:57 2669723 Link
