That post is so good, you should split it in two.

Any news on any Cillian or Leeroy ?
No news is good news on Andy !

All I've heard is rumours on leeroy, "I was talking to someone that knows him and he is out for the season!"

A dislocated shoulder would be a minimum of 3 months anyway and probably longer
Tom Heaton the Burnley goalkeeper was out for 5 months. Just back training recently

Would it be that long for dislocation?i though it would be sooner for that.surely if it was put back in relatively quick and rested a month would go a long way on it

That is only rumour though folks. My sources are far from reliable!!!

I hear dislocated shoulder. Out for 3 - 4 months. No idea how reliable my sources are either though.

My sources are 100 % reliable, it is a dislocated shoulder but he will be back for the championship albeit no idea what part he will play against Galway.

Don't know about Cillian, Rochford said it didn't appear to be a bad hamstring injury but unlikely he'll feature against Donegal

I know this is not good but at least it will force him to try some other guys in the forward line which he failed to do especially at the start. I think Rochford has made a bit of a balls of trying new guys in the league and in particular in the forward line. Some guys just need a bit of game time to build confidence in their play. Loftus is one guy that needs this time but he takes him off far to often or doesn't play him consistently.

I think that's a bit harsh on Rochford tbh. The dog on the street knows that there's not a whole pile out there in terms of forwards and those who do get a chance, rarely grasp it.

Did he give O'Donogue more time than others or did O'Donogue just seize his opportunity... definitely the latter I feel. That's up to the player.

Not saying Rochford is flawless but I would lay most of the responsibility on the player.

But given how many of your regulars start league and FBD games, how much of a chance are they really getting? If they are given a start and they know its curtains for them that year, if they fail to really impress, that is a lot of pressure for a young lad. No wonder a lot of them fail to perform.

What if they had a certain level of comfort of knowing that even if they had a crap day at the office, they had the freedom to make mistakes, as long as he learned from them? What if they knew the jersey would not be taken from them, after just 1 or 2 outings, would that not bring the young lads on at better rate? If, year after year, more regulars are being brought back in, to stave off the danger of relegation, what price are you really paying for staying up?

Likely to be a massive crowd on Sunday.

Nail on the head. Lads weren't given their chance, using lads who played in the AI final back in the FBD games when thats your platform to blood new lads is down to Rochford.
He goes back to the same lads time after time and at this stage some aren't up to it.
He needs to grow a set, but at this stage with next Sunday and May 13th been critical then he has missed a chance. O'Donoughue agree is a fine player, but he has been given the FBD and league to blood in.
Loftus has been fupped around, game in, game out, 1/2 a game, 10 minutes. You can't build confidence or gain experience from bit parts.

I would have thought you'd be more clued into the FBD than that Yop. I don't even follow FBD games and it was obvious that loads of players were used... 46/7 going by this. Thanks to mayogaablog

Rochford even sent last years squad away to Malaysia for the start of it. For most of the league it was a B team. Plenty of people on the fringe got chances, few took them.

Team that played Roscommon in Round 4 of FBD:
Robbie Hennelly; Eoin O’Donoghue, Ger Cafferkey, Caolan Crowe; Colm Boyle, Paddy Durcan (0-1), James Stretton; Stephen Coen, Danny Kirby; Fionn McDonagh (0-4, two frees), Diarmuid O’Connor (0-1), Conor O’Shea (0-1); Neil Douglas (0-1), Jason Doherty (0-1, free), Ciaran Treacy (0-2).
Subs: Kevin McLoughlin for O’Connor, Jason Gibbons for Boyle, Shairoze Akram for O’Shea, Peter Naughton for McDonagh, Jamie Oates for Crowe, James McCormack for Kirby.


Loftus couldn't catch a ball into his chest on Sunday. Maybe he's not the answer that we want him to be.

I think it's borderline delusional to be saying lads haven't been given their chance. It's more than likely brought on by a desperation to find these magic few forwards that we don't have.

What do the ticks and S's mean Parlance....started and/or substituted?
