    ffs cole they were leaking goals in nearly every game. Every home game i was at everytime the opposition got forward it looked like a goal chance was on the cards cos the half backs were up the field and all it takes is one long kick to bypass midfield and a goal chance was created.
    Pussy footing around the half forward line, like tippy tappy barcelona players gets you nowhere.
    Every thing I said before the derry game came true.
    THIS continued all the way to the semi final. SO yeah nothing was learned. nothing.
    The exact same mistakes happened in every game.

    dont even bother mentioning the NY game. :rolleyes:
    Take off your fcukin green and red glasses every once on a while

    First off I mentioned the New York to correct myself - of course it was a nothing game.

    If you look back at the previous page, I posted that the half back line issue needs to be fixed.

    However, your post said "nothing has been learned since the league' I don't think that's reasonable at all. You can say what you want about Horan but he has gotten us to two finals in a row, to think he isn't at least working to try and fix the problems shown the during league is a bit daft.

    I still think we will improve as the summer goes on and a lot of people still think we haven't shown our hand yet. Tomorrow will obviously answer some questions.

    Finally, the last time I was at the opticians, they said I had pilots eyesight so the green and red glasses aren't neccessary ;)

    Just in case there are any first time travellers to the Hyde you should note the following;
    1. Our Roscommon brethren operate a free parking system. This means driveways, lawns, fire stations etc are all available to park in. Thanks to our leader Enda, the hospital should have plenty of spaces available also.
    2. Straw hats are acceptable at all occasions such as weddings, funerals, bar mitzvah's etc, but they are especially appropriate for the championship.
    3. Nothing makes the locals happier than for a Mayoman to confidently strut into the local bookies just before the game and loudly enquire as to the odds on Mayo +25 points.
    4. You might hear the crowd excitedly shouting a chant along the lines of "we are Ross" in the first 7/8 minutes, fret not though as it will quickly subside.
    5. Feel free to ask about renting the shiny big Team Rossie bus for tours etc., it should be free around early July.
    6. As you leave the Hyde, bask in the warm glow of admiration that your Rossie brethren have for your team and soak up the adulation and good wishes that will surely follow you all the way back to our beautiful county.

    DISCLAIMER since the A&E is actually gone, this advice should not be taken literally...

    Even as a Rossie I have to say that's a class post :D

    Excellent alright. I also got a good luck wish from my Roscommon friend that I pick up 2 more penalty points on the way home from out of a kind Roscommon Garda . What you ask , the Roscommon inforsement might undertake such unjust acts.

    I remember back in 96 and some how billy the kid with a hat had managed to squeeze in between 2 buildings at Frenchpark. Had his gun and was going to use it. I'm sure I made his day .

    Opposite side of the ground, instead of turning down the road to the hospital, go to next roundabout and turn left, the golf links road I think its called. Season ticket holders have to go in through this entrance to get your cards scanned. They WILL NOT entertain requests for any cards not scanned, be warned!!
    Thank you, was unsure of which entrance to go to. I would normally go in that way as its the stand side.
    Here we go

    Getting warmed up for the travel to Roscommon . Had a vote with the families here .

    Which category would u fall into. If u had a choice

    1) Lotto plus 1 win or mayo to win the all Ireland.
    2) lotto with 5 numbers+bonus25k win or mayo to win the all Ireland.

    We all comfortably fell into giving up 25k if mayo were to win the all Ireland. Personally I'd still be thinking on the lotto plus 1 versus the all Ireland.

    Are we the only ones who would give up lotto wins or what's ur limit.

    Mediocre is an understatement. I for one will know we will look back in years to come that this generation of players were exceptional. And yes there will be long periods to come of lack of dominance in Connaught. But for now I am certainly relishing mayo football despite begrudging comments . As far as I'm concerned as long as one Connaught team are in the shakeup Then football standards can only improve in Connaught .

    And yes I go believe mayo can win an all Ireland and probably the best equipped team to overthrow Dublin at the moment.

    Hopefully not. Absolutely crazy idea, considering his best years are far behind him:(.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,490 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Horrendous stuff so far apart from numbers 1-7
    Half forward line is a big big worry. Does not look like an AI winning half forward line to me........early days i know and I'm usually an optimistic person but I'm worried . Not about today as I think we will do enought but going forward.....worried


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Defiler Of The Coffin


    Awful stuff. Defence keeping us in it. Forwards are having a howler. Need goals badly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    Dire game so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭Kalyke


    Worried......

    Sweeney deserves a run second half.big goal threat.
    I don't and won't ever understand how Conor o Shea got a start today and the likes of Sweeney did not.
    Horan needs to show second half he can change things when needed!
    Still think we will win tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭kupus


    terrible game so far. poor shots, 10 wides. no plan of attack. just give the ball to the o sheas and let them pass it off or lose it.
    in fact i expect ross in 2nd half to up their game and play quick ball in forward line and keep their players there for this half, now they know they can contain mayo forwards

    i didnt think ross could beat mayo. but 2nd half showings from mayo in previous games have been dismal. so im saying this is the rossies game to lose.

    I don't think COS is having too bad of a game, I'd take off DOC before him
