What's the weather promised like for this. I prefer it be dry from our point of view.

Could be a few showers forecast but we will also be hoping for a dry day.

Is Harney injured?

D Murtagh appears to be very injury prone as do a few others.

Both are very injury prone. Murtagh has now pulled his hamstring 3 times in 12 Months. Harney has pulled his 3 times since December but is due to start full training in the next week. 

Really? I find it extraordinary that any manager at any level would start injured players if he had the resources besides that he believed could get the job done. It's all very well in hindsight saying any fit squad players would have been good enough.

Anyway got my tickets today for this and looking forward to it. There's been some very enjoyable Sligo/Ros. games down the years. Hoping for another good one.

He had our starting corner forward throughout the league this year sitting on his arse for most of the game last year. Our two best forwards this year were in the stands that day,  nevermind on the bench. The idea the players went in cocky is total media and outsider proselytizing  too. Playing a match with no fit inside forward starting usually is a good way to lose a match. Missing good opportunity after good opportunity drained the confidence of the team and allowed an honestly very workmanlike Sligo side to grow into the game.

Just to clear something up, On last year Kilbride and Murtagh both passed fitness test provided by medical team last year before been selected to play, It went against team but it happens in every team sport in the world where players will have late fitness tests.
On the lad that started corner forward for most the league this year, He had only started one game for Roscommon previous to Sligo game so when your medical team tell you Murtagh and Kilbride are fit you are going to start them ahead of a lad with no senior experience.
On the two players you said we at the match in the stands. One was asked in loads of times and declined for what ever reason I know two lads who declined this year. He obviously couldn't commit. And the other guy was let go from panel for disciplinary reasons.

Anyway best of luck to Management and players sunday. I am expecting two changes to team named.
