It's absolutely scandalous.
It's not Roscommon's fault but they just have to win two games and they're in the quarter-final. They will play a maximum of three - maybe two - and all they'll have to do is win two of them.
Monaghan must play six games.
Despite winning more games than Roscommon, they're now in Round 2. Roscommon have won just once and they're automatically at least in Round 4.

"If Roscommon win two games, they're at the same stage as Monaghan would be after winning five. "No, Roscommon aren't better. They're actually in Division Two now. That's just the way we do it because we let a provincial series with uneven numbers and uneven competition dictate a 32-county championship."And we just do that because that's the way it has always been.

He used Mayo club champions Ballina Stephenites as […]
