[Syferus]

The best value of the weekend is Roscommon - 9/2 currently with Powers. 'Twill be a dour struggle, but the prediction is:

Rossie's 0-14
Rhubarbs 0-12.

Boom!!!!

Savage odds. Fill your boots Don.

They made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

No atmosphere in ballagh last night, changing times, when i was a gasun the craic around town before a mayo/ross game was electric.


Few rossies i was chattin to , were in all honesty, fairly upbeat about their chances.

my prediction, Mayo to absolutely hammer the ross, i dont even think ross will score, truly believe Mayo will fuckin destroy them beyond anything ever witnessed before in this fixture.

Mayo   7-23     ross  0-00

That actually is a decent value bet, although a good value losing bet is no good to you!! Ross +5 is a v good bet imo

The Rhu bucks here must be worried - all they can offer is  ;Ds to silly comments from Ballycroy/Larryin/Gwantherossies.
Could we....... would we...... can we dream......   that we'll end the Evil Empire like we did in '52?

I see alot of Roscommon supporters setting the ceiling at geeing within a score or two of Mayo, that losing by five would be a success in its own way. I look at the work that's went in at underage and senior over many years and our form this year and I think the basement of our hopes should be losing by four or five and the ceiling should be winning the damn match.

Mayo's HBs are excellent but they can get drunk on the taste of the opposition's half and there is routinely space in behind them if we can turn over ball. Donie Shine is as fine a kick-passer as there is in the country and our attacking game that has served us well this year would be perfect for exploiting that space. Maybe Mayo will drop lads back to sweep between the lines but I see Mayo looking at this game as an opportunity to attack and not to conserve so we have a good chance of adding to Mayo's woes at the back this year.

I think if we get enough possession we can rattle Mayo in ways we rarely have in the last decade, the question is will we get the possession?

The answer is "NO."
Anything else bothering you?
