the road from Granard-Edgeworthstown-Longford town and Lanesboro to Roscommon is good
the road through Cavan is terrible and the stretch from Longford to Lanesboro is also twisty.


Best of luck to the Ros today.

[and may score by doing so]

"The second exception is Rule 1.2(ii): Any player who falls or is knocked to the ground while in possession of the ball may fist or palm the ball away on the ground, and may score by doing so."

For Gods sake lads, read the rule.
It's like some of you never even played the game.

Oh yeah. Forgot that.

It's basically a rule to protect a player coming down with the ball.

If I recall correctly, he was knocked to the ground (definite peno by the way) and palmed the ball into the net.

Which isn't a goal.

No. Same as a handpass

and why do most towns in Ireland have Chinese restaurants?

cause it's cheap and cheerful with strong flavours and crap ingredients which masks the fact most Irish people haven't got a club what decent grub should look or taste like.

What's Roscommon like for a sat night out on the town?

What would you think Roscommon is like for a night out on the town?

Well judging by the posts it sounds like Granard...I was only in Rosscommon once when Armagh beat Limerick there think it was 2003 and it was a swift in and out that time...ill re phrase the question....where is the best spot for a night on the town thats within a reasonable travelling distance from Rosscommon Town...

Go to Carrick. Eat in the Oarsman, Cryan's or the excellent Chinese - the name of which escape's me. Plenty of good pubs, do a bit of a crawl along the main street.

visit a Chinese restaurant.
any town in Ireland could use that.

Come down and stay in the county.
Lots to do.

Boyle area is very scenic - Lough Key forest Park for the kids.

Roscommon Town is not bad for a night out - some good pubs with craft beers, food and live music.
Nightclub in the town same as most rural county towns- cheap and cheerful.
Best accommodation option would be B&B

Alternatives are Carrick - good selection of pubs and accommodation.
Athlone - nice pubs and restaurants on the Connacht side of the town

Via motorway its about 100 mins from Roscommon to Dublin

You'd never know there was an advantage rule in hurling. Refs just ignore it completely.

There is no advantage rule in hurling.
As in, you cannot bring play back

O'Shea falls over a lot

At least it won't let us down in September. Again.

Push it around the car park if that happens!

They're experts at that in Mayo.

At least it won't let us down in September. Again.

Is that what the A & B pots are for?
To make it less likely Ulster and Leinster teams will play another team from the same province?

So the senior match is being held up for a bunch of kids?
That minor match could easily be played seperate.

Why isn't this game on this weekend?
The other semi final was last week.

Seanie Mc was the wrong man to have on Andy when he came on. He got a few chances and made the most of them.
Ros had chances to win and draw but butchered them.
That's the difference in playing in Division 1 and playing in Croke Park in August for the last 3 years.
Mayo used their experience and two important Roscommon players had to be subbed with major injuries - the two of them were getting plenty of 'treatment' all game. Losing O'Gara's power on the ball was a big loss.
Amazing though that Ros got within a point in 2011 as well.

And anyone commenting on the state of the Hyde needs to look at the investment in other grounds in the last 10 years in comparison - all the money blown on McHale and Salthill.
