Replying To Seanfan: "Is Andy Moran from Ballaghadereen, Co. Roscommon one of the 3 natives?" Doubt it. Isn't Moran supposed to be competing with Tony McEntee for the Mayo job. I don't know who the three are but at a guess, Noel Dunning, Nigel Dinneen and Mark Dowd. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2585 - 09/08/2025 21:09:10 2630792 Link

Maybe Frankie? Be great to get it done this coming week. Listened to Diarmuids interview on the Ros podcast. Very honest and a real decent lad. Great that he's hoping to give it another crack next year. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 303 - 09/08/2025 21:28:16 2630794 Link

Not sure if Ciaráin or Davy Murray will go again while Niall Daly's ongoing injury likely to rule him out. In an ideal world we'll appoint the best manager with the right backroom and it will happen in the coming week. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 63 - 10/08/2025 11:13:04 2630827 Link

He had a poor year but he has so much to give. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1307 - 10/08/2025 19:04:27 2630912 Link

Replying To Seanfan: "Has he been asked? Not setting the World alight with Abbylara." Wouldn't put me up or down if he went for it. It would be all about who the background team is. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 303 - 11/08/2025 15:57:27 2631147 Link
Replying To Seanfan: "Has he been asked? Not setting the World alight with Abbylara." He oversaw them winning the Championship for the first time in 18 years last year, What do you mean not setting the world alight. What more could he have achieved at this stage? Has done as much as Dowd, Dunning or FOD who will more than likely get the job. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1228 - 11/08/2025 16:23:04 2631155 Link

Looking forward to this weeks fixtures. Two very inetresting games on friday, Pearses and Clann and Oran v Gaels. Glaveys v Elphin and Dominics v Faithleachs should also be good battles. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 303 - 11/08/2025 16:29:23 2631157 Link
Replying To FullOfPorter: "You don't think he'd throw his hat into the ring?" He can throw his hat in the ring if he wants. Can't see our CB giving the job to him tbh. Hasn't got the head and composure for the line. We as a county deserve better. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1166 - 11/08/2025 16:46:36 2631162 Link

Doubt Fergal O'Donnell will go for the job but he won an All Ireland Minor title with Roscommon ( our first in 55 years) and a Connacht senior title( when Roscommon were a lower division team) . Frankie hasn't done anything at inter county. Frankie Dolan is not ready to be Roscommon senior manager at this time and I wouldn't see him getting it. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2585 - 11/08/2025 16:47:51 2631163 Link

Replying To FullOfPorter: "Is Fergie the front runner?" According to "tonymac" on stolensheep we're still approaching candidates. He's usually well informed Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 63 - 11/08/2025 17:21:43 2631177 Link
Does anyone actually want it? Michaelbeag (Roscommon) - Posts: 19 - 11/08/2025 18:52:43 2631195 Link
Replying To FullOfPorter: "Is Fergie the front runner?" Dowd and Dunning are in the running. Not sure where the Fergal O'Donnell rumours started as he wasn't nominated by any clubs or has been recently approached by the county board AFAIK. He could likely could be part of the new management team as a coach/selector likewise Frankie Dolan and Frankie already had that role with the U20s in 2024.

So Mayo have appointment a Roscommon man as their new manager could Roscommon do similar and appoint a Mayo man as their next manager? Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 559 - 11/08/2025 23:05:34 2631251 Link
Cavan and mayo have appointed new managers and not a word of anything in roscommon. Are we actually waiting to see who's left when all counties have positions filled. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1307 - 12/08/2025 07:46:05 2631278 Link
Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "So Mayo have appointment a Roscommon man as their new manager could Roscommon do similar and appoint a Mayo man as their next manager?" Dare you to say that to Andy that he's a Rossie if you ever get the chance to meet him hope you can run fast. S1234 (Mayo) - Posts: 322 - 12/08/2025 08:49:51 2631288 Link
