Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
Has a ref ever been starstruck by Roscommon before?
I am certain there will be a big skirmish when they run off the pitch at half time. Never been so sure of anything in my life.
Often wrong but never in doubt.
Poor enough so far. Roscommon have set up well and are full value for their lead. Need a very big effort in the second half if we are to win this one.
We are poor but this ref should have stayed at home.
Diarmuid Murtagh is beating Mayo all by himself.
This Roscommon win today is a sweet revenge against the hardy bucs fella on Twitter who be slagging off the Ros.
Beating ourswlves. Lads not taking on kicks within 25 m of the posts. Poor showing.
Mod Edit
Warning issued.
we deserved nothing out of this game but it was the most bizarre refereeing performance that I've seen in a while.
6 weeks off, not the worst thing.
Disappointing that it had to come at the hands of a loss to the Rossies but we can do with the break.
The ref was definitely hoping for a big skirmish, he let it be a very physical game.
Mayo were never going to get the decisions they got last week
What’s the story for Mayo now? Rnd 1 of the round robin series towards the end of May the next time they are playing?
We deserved nothing from that. Beaten in midfield, forwards running into tackles constantly and too afraid to take shots on. Was a very poor display.
Nevertheless, the break might be useful. Need to get injuries right and just take a breather for a few weeks.
As for the ref - one of the most bizarre displays ever. Something needs to be done to address the faking of head injuries, Roscommon were at it all day today, trying to slow down play. Lots of teams at it too.
Nope. Losing at home to them - in that fashion - is unacceptable.Galway I could take as they are a decent team.
We were bullied out of it. Ref was awful as was our sideline. One player refused to take a simple point when there were only a couple in it at the end. Ros go down and kick a great point.
No courage whatsoever.
The ref saw right through Mayo's usual free fishing
Needed to adjust to those tactics earlier so definitely a sideline failure, amount of time wasting and injuries should have been at least 8 minutes.
Added to some bizarre referee decisions the quick turn around from last week, and some poor individual performances...the break might do us good.
It was the the frees he gave Roscommon at crucial times that was the problem, some very questionable decisions there.
Roscommon were let away with murder, going down at every chance they got to kill the game.
That's not to take away from Mayo's poor performance either.
But the 6 week break will be welcome and today's defeat will kill the hype that was building. That in itself will be no harm. I'm sure we'll be ready to go again for the round robin.
Exactly. Ryan o Donoghue got away with a Black Card for deliberate trip and AOS got away with a red for elbow into the face.
Thought the same myself. Instead of being one down we very quickly became 3 down. Tough to watch, but thems the draws.
Also wtf was the red at with the hopball. ?
Awful stuff.
Can't remember Ryan and Jordan playing as bad before. Tommy and Mattie poor in the first half but improved a bit. Don't know why Fionn Mc was taken off so early, he was the best of the HF line.
Very reminiscent of the Tyrone final running into traffic. Also the fact we butchered 2 good goal chances in the first half. I've no doubt we go on to win if one of them goes in.
No harm getting a 6 week break all the same as we'd started to pick up some injuries.
Haven't seen it back but why did Ros get frees for the 2 hop balls Aidan won?
Roscommon were hungrier and had this game lined up for months.
They had a game plan and executed it well.Something has to be done about time wasting though.Every time Mayo got momentum going a Roscommon player went down.
Comical reffing at times but we can't blame the ref,Roscommon deserved to win that game.
It's a minor annoyance if anything and Mayo could do with a break before the real football starts.
An elbow to the face? Where did you see that.
I must say congats to Ros, they won deservedly.
I just hate losing to them.
Two poor performances in a row now.
Getting feck all from the forwards where we were getting loads from them in the league.
A certain taste of a unexpectedly good league not translating to the championship off it.
Plenty to work on and still it would be a huge upset if they don't at least make a qf.
would be a huge upset if they don't at least make a qf.
Possible going into the group stage as a third seed could work out better than second? Might end up in a group with New York!😝
Two second seeds are Limerick/Clare and Sligo/New York.
Another will be Louth/Westmeath/Meath.
So the second seeds are hardly stacked.
The forwards were just constantly running into traffic. Very annoying to watch and can't believe that sort of naivety is being coached.
Midfield is a problem too. Cleaned out in the first half.
