Former Roscommon senior footballer Paul Earley believes that the Rossies’ invasion of New York this weekend is a reflection on how people feel about the current senior football team. “The identity of the county is built around our senior football team. When people talk to me about Roscommon — I live up the country in Kildare — they always talk about Roscommon football. If it’s Tyrone, it’s Tyrone football and people like Peter Canavan. When the senior team is going well, there’s a great mood in the county, and it lifts the people.
