Eamonn Fitzmaurice is facing his fourth relegation battle as Kerry manager.

Kerry simply had no answer to a Roscommon side who were too strong, too smart, too clever, and too accurate for the Kingdom in their home patch by 0-14 to 1-10 in today's Allianz Football league clash in a rain soaked Killarney. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/696333463834771456 It's the first win for the Rossies over the Kingdom since 2001, and it's another worrying start to life in Allianz Football League Division one for the 2014 All-Ireland champions, as it is the third time in four years Kerry have lost their first two league games. https://twitter.com/Jasonmcg2/status/696358680523096065 The celebrations at the full-time whistle showed what it meant to everyone wearing yellow. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/696358171598811136 Kerry could have no complaints as the Connacht outfit were full value for a win. https://twitter.com/Mike_Quirke/status/696358674068082688 And even MEPs were delighted with the result. https://twitter.com/lukeming/status/696357364203679744 https://twitter.com/lukeming/status/696360133614559232 And some fans were getting very very excited https://twitter.com/BoyleDylan8399/status/696364722854223874 The action on the pitch may not have been great, but by far the highlight of the day was not Stephen O'Brien waltzing at least 12 steps to plant the ball into the net. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/696342584336244736 Instead it was this TG4 co-commentator struggling to hang onto his umbrella in the wind and rain of Fitzgerald stadium. https://twitter.com/KMcGillicuddy86/status/696345916735934464 Elsewhere today in Division one, Donegal gave Cork a massive trimming beating the Rebels by 2-14 to 1-7. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/696353590689034240 Monaghan got the better of Down to record a second successive win. https://twitter.com/monaghangaa/status/696357777980203008 In Division two this monster score from the boot of Sean Quigley was the highlight of their win over Meath by 0-10 to 0-6. https://twitter.com/FermanaghGAA/status/696339038303813633 Tyrone beat Galway in a grey Salthill https://twitter.com/galwayindo/status/696357431870414849 In Division three, dodgy press box and all, but Tipperary got the better of Clare by 2-7 to 1-7, while Sligo edged Westmeath by 1-11 to 1-10, Kildare enjoyed a win over Offaly by 1-12 to 1-8 and Longford beat Limerick by 0-13 to 1-8. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/696362046657396736
