Ros V Donegal Hyde Park 21/7/18

[omagh_gael]

Classic photo. What year? Colm Anthony and Christy were only nippers. Re the game I am worried. If Roscommon hadn't shipped such a catastrophic defeat we'd be in a stronger position than now. It's unlikely we'll  win by a similar margin in the Hyde if we do win. We therefore need Dublin to win to make the Ballybofey game a simple winner takes all contest. Home advantage is a big plus for the Rossies on Saturday.

I don't scoring difference is going to matter at all. In the likely event of a Donegal and Dublin win this weekend then it comes down to a straight knock out in Ballybofey.

He's named on the Roscommon bench for this Saturday i see. A bit odd that we would be allowed to play for his club on a Wednesday night after starting for Roscommon last weekend.

[Rossfan]

Hmmmmmm. ......
Maybe management wanted him to get more "game time"??
I see Fitzmaurice is named on the bench too.
Will he go down in history as being the only Inter County player to have never played in anything but AI Qtr Finals? ?

[Rossfan]

This thread seems to have died!
Good luck to Ros today and hope they can pull a performance from somewhere.
It's hard to see us winning but let's hope we have one kick in us before we guarantee 4th place......

Des Cahill in Hyde Park and on the Radio seems to be amazed that there are very few Rossie fans at the game?

[Ringfort]

Stream anyone?

Brannigan not giving Donegal a whole lot so far

Beginning to look ominous here, roscommon awful last 10/15 mins.

Roscommon are clueless. One man up front and hoofing the ball in.
