Roscommon vs. Tyrone AIQ R2: Yes, again.

[ross matt]

Worst possible draw for Roscommon. Cant imagine confidence is very high after Mayo game and news of this draw wont improve it. However hopefully they'll show a bit of heart and leadership in this match.

+ 1 Matt. I wonder how many changes from the Mayowr disaster?

Realistically we'll do well to keep the margin to single figures

Still it's time to

RAISE UP THE STANDARD HIGH
WAVE BANNERS TO THE SKY
FOLLOW THE LADS IN SUNSHINE OR RAIN
THEN WITH A MIGHTY ROAR
LET TYRONIES KNOW ONCE MORE
MEN OF ROSCOMMON ARE MARCHING AGAIN.

Dunno Rossfan. The problem v Mayo wasn't selection.... more like attitude and leadership. Maybe if Shine and Kilbride play to their potential we could make a game of it.

You're heart has to go out to the auld Rossies, .
They have to resign themselves to another year of watching the green and red flags flying out car windows through their towns on their way to Croker.

When will ye be flying them on the way home from Croke ?

Larry your goading is getting tiresome, we've has enough bad days ourselves not to be putting the boot into others.

[EC Unique]

I doubt if Roscommon will pose any more opposition than We got on Saturday past. Tyrone by at least 10 points. Yawn...

[ONeill]

C'mon Roscommon. Drive it into them cocky Tyrone hoors.

[Syferus]

Tyronies have better manners than those Armagh ladeens. There won't be a bus toilet flushed in Roscommon this weekend.

[God14]

Should be fairly straight forward for Tyrone this.

If things go to plan we'll have a match this weekend. Then crucially weekend of 13 / 14th July off for rest, followed hopefully by 3 games in 3 consecutive weekends! 

Big challenge now for Mickey Harte. He needs to ensure where possible, that his key men are fit & available when needed most. No point surely in rushing Stephen O'Neill back when we scored 1-27 without him last weekend. The same applies for the likes of Justin McMahon, although to a lesser extent. Continual changes in personnel in the full back line over our last 3 to 4 games is a worry.

I feel that Harte has a couple of major issues still needing addressing. He still needs to find a target man, that outlet in the full forward line capable of winning 50/50 ball, varying attacks & ultimately making us less predictable [Sean Cavanagh]. Tactically Tyrone have relied exclusively on the short ball game for too long now. As soon as we come up against one of the bigger / better organised sides, its repeatedly exposed.
If you keep playing the same way, the same tactics, over & over again, you're only going to get the same results.

[ONeill]

What kind of game are Roscommon playing?

Men behind the ball or long and hard like a terrier's tool?

[Rossfan]

You'll find out at 6pm next Saturday in Páirc De h-Íde.

[omagh_gael]

Following up on God14's suggestion. What about a FF line of McAliskey, S Cavanagh and McCurry with C Cavanagh and Cassidy? Leaves Kane and young Grugan as midfield back up and plenty of options in FF line.

[Syferus]

You'll find out at 6pm next Saturday in Páirc De h-Íde.

When they see Donie lining up in goal they won't know what hit them..

Need to have read of this thread http://209.200.237.116/~gaabo3/board/index.php?topic=16075.45 before rubbing salt into the wounds of others.

[Fuzzman]

How did McBride do on Sat? Was he at full back?

[red hander]

Big lad, built like the proverbial. Aye, full back. Put in a couple of good tackles early on in first half, at one time thought he was caught for pace but he got back at the attacker and won the ball back. To be fair, didn't have too much to do on the day, even found himself up the field and in a scoring position late in the first half.

[muppet]

I hear the Connacht Council has decided the Hide isn't up to standard.

Where will it held be now?
