Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Roscommon are not near kerry level yet anyway this is arrogant no ? Stay division1 firsg" Was talking about my club St Brigid's hopefully being like Kerry. Anything can happen in knock out. we know that from last year BrigidsToom (Roscommon) - Posts: 38 - 17/08/2025 00:51:06 2632192 Link
Replying To sourmilk93: "Strange candidates went to interviews with no backroom teams. If as you say Dunning had nothing confirmed. While i had heard Dowd was getting the job during the week i was very surprised no backroom team was announed. Surely he has strong team with him to get selection. Rogers and Daly highly linked but surely theres a big name too to warrant the selection" Rogers,Daly were approached and I believe both have since joined up with Dowd. Gerry McGowan was also approached but I don't know what the latest is with him. We could be looking at another September or later appointment with waiting on others and Dowd to fully confirm their management/back room team. We appointment John Evans in 2012 without anyone with him. Later assembled it including putting one of the selection committee on his team.

Castlerea look to be favourites to go down. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 73 - 17/08/2025 19:04:25 2632292 Link

Now for physical trainer, S&C, defence and attack coaches, and all the rest. * what an old fashioned term! What is their real role? Coaches? Asst managers? Manager assistants? Ball gatherers?

Yea think it will be between Castlerea and Elphin but Castlerea not looking good. Bigger win for Faithleachs than expected, some scoring from them.

Ger Brennan was appointed to the most high profile managers job in Gaelic football without naming his backroom team. Dublin backroom team still not named. The County Board has to appoint who they think will be the best manager and the backroom team comes after that. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2592 - 17/08/2025 20:15:40 2632331 Link
Replying To rossie4sam: "Brigids couldn't win a 1/4 in Roscommon last year and people here bigging them up. Pearses are the team to beat end of story" Bridging have their most talented team in their history including the all Ireland winning one. It's completely balanced all over and only going to get stronger.It'll be a miracle if they don't win county and I can't see anyone coming close to them in Connacht. It's a roll of the dice after that. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 555 - 17/08/2025 21:12:32 2632342 Link

Replying To sourmilk93: "Yeah and if the come up short they can always go into the transfer market again." I agree with you there. Roscommon Gaels aren't much better either. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 555 - 18/08/2025 10:03:31 2632405 Link
Out of interest, how many non-parish lads do Brigids have? Moycullen seem to get levelled with this a bit in Galway. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 318 - 18/08/2025 10:32:09 2632415 Link
Replying To FullOfPorter: "Out of interest, how many non-parish lads do Brigids have? Moycullen seem to get levelled with this a bit in Galway." Sure wouldn't they all live/ have addresses within the area? Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 73 - 18/08/2025 11:30:39 2632432 Link

What is their real role? Coaches? Asst managers? Manager assistants? Ball gatherers?" I don't think we will get a forwards coach or defensive coach. I think Daly and Rogers will be expected to do them jobs. I think it's going to be a fairly cheap management set up compared to other years. dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1310 - 18/08/2025 12:05:16 2632440 Link

Hope not another Des Newton situation. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 73 - 18/08/2025 12:40:14 2632450 Link
A leap into the unknown for the Roscommon team with their new manager, what realistically are his goals alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 3 - 18/08/2025 12:58:46 2632454 Link

Replying To FullOfPorter: "Out of interest, how many non-parish lads do Brigids have? Moycullen seem to get levelled with this a bit in Galway." I think one To be fair. A bloody good one though and funnily enough the one weakness that cost them The all Ireland. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 555 - 18/08/2025 16:14:39 2632508 Link
Replying To FullOfPorter: "Another account you've created to talk to yourself through. Lol indeed!" I talk to myself regularly but not here tbh. That's just sad and there are many who do but I'm not one of them. It was a tongue in cheek comment, a joke like. Lighten up please. Thanks for that. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 225 - 18/08/2025 17:22:05 2632515 Link
