He was pretty pathetic in his hard on for given Donegal everything. Disgrace that its Ulster officials doing the game with a little hardman from Fermanagh on the line. Should be neutral officials Donegal were helped, in a major way, by a team that were poorly coached. They had no kick out strategy, were consistenly exposed defensively by poor structures and were absolutely clueless in attack, failing to move the point of attack, getting no width on the ball and running into their own players on a number of occasions. A Roscommon man could have reffed that game and Donegal would still have won comfortably.

Felt so wrong to find myself cheering for Tyrone like a loon!!! Will be hard to drive to Dublin for our next game.

People getting far too excited and satisfied with reaching the super 8s when in reality we’ve beaten Leitrim and Armagh to get here.. showed today that were a long long way off the pace and it’s not going to get any better... connacht draw hasn’t helped us at all would rather be in qualifiers against the likes of Kildare , tipp etc and see how good we really are instead of getting beat out the gate in all 3 super 8 games

Lower Hogan has tv every few rows showing the game live right at the back (maybe others stands have too) so it's a great place in a really freezing cold day like the intermediate club final this year. As far as match goes great to see Ciaran Lennon back on the panel. Hasn't featured in any of the championship games this year after breaking his thumb in training for the first under 20 game. He was tremendous in the league as a target man full forward and gave Roscommon an option they haven't had in that position for a number of years.

Then I see he's named in the subs for Saturday. I'm happy to see him back, but why was he not in the panel last week?
