Over 24,000 fans will need a warm drink after being exposed to some atrocious elements in the Connacht football final.
The Rossies looked good value for an early lead - thanks in part to Enda Smith's goal - but it was a touch and go throughout. The game was level on five occasions but Roscommon needed a late score to get on terms before the final whistle.
The standard of football was, for long stretches, poor. Pat Spillane and Joe Brolly lamented to '450-plus' hand passes that were on show during the 74 minutes in Salthill.
Both teams were guilty of depending too much on blanket defence systems and cynical fouls. There was a game there to be won but no-one won it.
