Replying To 32_4_1: "Cork are that price, as they have far greater ability. Poorly managed, often lack direction and fight, but if the mood takes them could beat Roscommon well. Roscommon are well managed, play close to their ability, fight hard, yet are still only at the level or thereabouts of a misfiring Cork. Roscommon are playing to their extreme, if Meath and Cork suddenly decide to pick it up and click, would beat Roscommon heavily tbh.
The bookies know this. Refer back to previous recent wins over Meath and Cork until the cows come home. If Meath and Cork decide to perform on any given day, Roscommon simply aren't on their level!" You are living in the past. Cork and Meath's are not the sides that use to challenge and win All Irelands their level right now are teams that was unable to get out of Div 2. In Meath's case they had the opportunity to make up for failing to not gain promotion by winning Leinster by beating Div 2 Louth but failed there also.
As outsider looking in I highly doubt you'll get any Roscommon poster on here that thinks their team are well managed and playing close to their ability or to their extreme if they were they would be favourites to win by a few points to spare in that round 3 game in Portlaoise. The punters know the way Roscommon are managed and performing makes it a 50/50 against Cork.

They barely beat Offaly in Navan and now they're the greatest Meath team since Joe Cassells was in his pomp

Tullamore For Kerry/Meath. Ridiculous. - 4 Like(s)
Replying To winatallcost: "Exactly. The GAA are right here suiting the majority of people that will actually travel to the game. Thurles has had its fill of it with Munster Hurling and Portlaoise also getting plenty. Tullamore is a great venue. Majority always rules so Kerry can have no complaints here. Most people think the result is a foregone conclusion anyway including the bookies with Meath at 8-1 and Kerry supporters will have three more games to chose from anyway. Can't have double header with Roscommon and Cork as final group games must start in parallel.
Well done to the GAA fixture committee!" Yeah the CCCC have to be practical as well.
Like, only about 30k attended the entire Munster Football championship this year!
Kerry had a Munster Final in Killarney and there was only around 10k at it. In Killarney! Everyone will be looking for All-Ireland tickets I'm sure!
Rich for them to be complaining about a neutral venue, that will suit the vast, vast majority of those who will actually attend.

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Surely winning a competition by winning all your games is a much better achievement than winning it after loosing 2/3 games…" Does not matter. You play the format. The winners are the winners and that's what history says. Take another sport…. Liverpool finished top of the champions league group this year, PSG were down near 14/15th? What does that matter now?

Replying To TheFlaker: "Mayo played Roscommon in the Hyde as an away game. Dublin didn't have an issue or bring it up because of their own controversies surrounding their neutral games at Croke Park. That's why it's different." Donegal played Cavan in Breffni as an away game.
You're saying Breffni wasn't an option because Donegal played their away game there in round 2. That's factually not true, as we had the same scenario last year with Mayo and Hyde Park.
There's literally no difference.

On a side note, I saw somewhere that Matthew Tierney is the first player in a decade to hit 6 goals in a Championship season, and only the fourth player to do it so far this century. And the season ain't over yet!
Fair play to Mattie. I hope he drives on now and smashes the record. He got 2 v New York and for anyone who was there, he was getting a fair lot of 'treatment' from the NY defenders off the ball and he got really riled up for a while by it, there was nothing soft in his 2 goals there. Then one each v Rossies and v Mayo and 2 truly vital goals v Derry. When we absolutely, definitely need clutch majors, Mattie is showing that he's the man to hit the onion bag!
As much as he's delivering, I think there's even more in him. He has the height, power, fielding ability, a baller with it, pace, a great footballing brain to be in the right place at the right time. Hard to see where the ceiling is for this lad when he's on it. Massive ability and he needs to stay constantly involved and seeking ball. He still has a tendency to drift out of the game a little at times. He has a few work ons like this (2 pointer frees for one!!) but then everyone has. This is a guy that is of FOTY quality if he drives on. Give him the chance to play and be on the end of fast direct ball. Great work so far and hopefully some blistering performances to come from him yet. We're alive and now we need to show we're angry and we're seriously dangerous! If we can bring a massive performance in Breffni, the whole job opens up again for us.

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Surely winning a competition by winning all your games is a much better achievement than winning it after loosing 2/3 games…" Yes it is much better. But that doesn't mean winning a tournament after losing in the early rounds should the format allow, is not meritorious.
Miami Dolphins 1972 are the only NFL team to complete a perfect season.
Milan under Capello went unbeaten in the early 90's in Serie A, as did Arsenal of course.
And let's not forget the Glasgow Rangers unbeaten SPL season of 2020-21
All tremendous achievements, but there have a few great, and better, teams since

Replying To lakecounty90: "What games are you be watchin
Jack Connaughton is the best goalie in the county
Conor is wasted in goal
Luke wouldnt be under so much pressure if had Conor in the forward line with him." Will you stop, if McCormack was worth his place outfield he'd be playing outfield simple as . I won't argue with Connaughton as a goalie but Jason Daly and Trevor Martin are both easily good enough to start on this team. Bizarre that they persisted with McCormack since the rule change

Replying To Mfs: "Home and away arrangements do not come into qualifier draws. Surely everyone knows how the qualifier draws work at this stage." Mayo were given the option as Roscommon was unavailable. They pushed for Limerick having had the experience of been there before. You'll remember that game versus Kerry, the one with the Mayo lad with the massive beer belly slowly wandering onto the pitch as he couldn't run and the daughter begging him to stop.

Dunno who they think is gonna for the bill for that, this is not the Club World Cup. As Jonny Glynn said after the hurling win, they are only complaining when they are winning or taking the place of another team, when they were beat out the gate in competitions and no backdoor no-one complained, glad of the easy route to the next round and a jollier to NY for a weekend. I have good time for NY and hope they give a good accord of themselves vs Offaly.

The mindset to get two goals in the final 8 minutes not to mind everything else. He didn't even make team of the week.

Replying To Ulsterchamps72: "Mayo chose to not honour the home and away arrangement with Galway, hence the reason the game went to Limerick. Anyways we'll travel as always and not like your crowd who abandoned ship after the Connacht final with 6k at the home for the Cavan match and the 500 that travelled to Omagh. The Ballaghaderreen crew can get the local link to their county town on Fathers day to allow them have a pint." Be careful you'll have deluded Clare from the blog aka as S1234 and JimB1991 trying to explain that Ballaghaderreen is in Mayo, now it will be hard to decipher her post with poor spelling, dreadful grammer and the possibility she'll even quote herself by using inverted commas. She appears to have moved away from finishing sentences with Ha! The exclamation mark, however does make a good few appearances still.

Replying To rossy15: "To be fair I'd say the bookies have it about right
Cork have played Kerry twice n this championship and have fared better on both occasions than we did against Kerry in the group stage
Wouldn't pass to much heed on beating cork n the league but I think at our best we can beat them but we haven't seen Ross at their best for a while hopefully that changes n portlaoise" Roscommon are one point favourties with Boyle Sports and Paddy Power the opposite. It's a 50/50 game given the form.
Cork fared better in the Munster championship game or be it Kerry was strolling to victory until Paudie Clifford saw red. It was much for muchness how Cork and Roscommon fared against Kerry in the group stage. Cork playing at home lost by 11 points conceded 1-28 (31) and scored 0-20. Roscommon playing away lost by 10 points scored 0-17 and conceded 3-18 (27)
Not sure about needing to be at your best, the way you performed on Saturday with improving your shooting will likely be enough to win.

Replying To kerry4sam25: "Kilkenny in first gear to win by 10-12 points. Galway usually lie down against the Cats." The stats don't back that up. Even when Kilkenny would be considered to have had a better team than us, which is most years. In the past 10 years of championship, we've met 12 times. Kilkenny have won 5, Galway have won 4 and there have been 3 draws.

For the sake of the Leinster championship I'd love to see Galway win it, however there's absolutely no credible metric to indicate that will happen." Galway are the form team 4wins on the bounce, have the best player in Ireland at the moment in C Mannion,they are definitely getting stronger and better after each game and nobody is expecting much from Galway this year.
I think we couldn't be in a better position going into the Leinster Final raging underdogs at 3/1!!!
I'm saying it now Galway will win Sunday.
