AIQ Round 3B - Roscommon vs. Armagh (19/07/14, 5pm - Live on SKY)

[Syferus]

Hopefully a swansong game for the Hyde.

It might be nice for the Rossies to visit Armagh, an outing for the bus. Do you recall your last visit to the county, albeit in the League?

[Fiodoir Ard Mhacha]

Hardly 1977 again but good draw for the orchard.

[Captain Obvious]

Revenge on the menu for Armagh. Meath for the winner in the next round as kildare who should beat Clare can't face them again or maybe Meath can pull off the shock of the summer.

No reason the Rossies can't win this, Armagh are decent and improving but so are Ross. The Hyde should be worth a point or two to them.

Nothing stopping Kildare playing Meath again. Monaghan would have played Tyrone again had Armagh won the Ulster semi final

[orangeman]

Roscommon could have beaten Tyrone in the Hyde last year and won't fear Armagh. As well as that Roscommon dealt well with the Cavan blanket and eventually broke it down and this be stand to them against the Armagh defensive system.

Not true! Teams that have met each other can meet again in rounds 1 & 2 but not 3&4. No idea why the rules were made that way. Winner will play meath bar a Clare upset.

[yellowcard]

Tough draw for Armagh, probably the hardest game we could have got especially being away from home. However we have nothing to lose having made good progress in this years championship and the winner of this game will have a good shout of making the quarter finals.

Really? I thought they got rid of that at all stages this year with that new grouping system?  Shows you what I know.

[David McKeown]

What about All Ireland quarter finals. Can you have any matches. Or can two teams who have already met not be drawn against each other?  Or even can you just not recreate a provincial final?

you are correct JP, meath and Kildare cannot meet in round 4. So if Kildare were to beat clare, and Dublin beat meath, then meath will play the winners of ros Armagh. This happened with Pot A this morning, there was no draw as Sligo could not play galway, so they could only play cork.

What's Roscommon like for a sat night out on the town? Maybe get an over night trip for the game? Can you suggest any decent hotels or b&b in the town. I asked this question on another thread there...how far is it to Dublin's from Roscommon and how long would it take on a Sunday morning? I'm working in Croke Park for Leinster final and would need to be there for about10:30am...

On the game itself we need to improve by 25% from yesterday to have a chance as i rate Roscommon highly, they are big improvers this year and will certainly not fear Armagh. They won div 3 and disposed of Cavan very easily yesterday. There were also v close to beating a good Mayo side and for me this is a hard game for Armagh

[ONeill]

4 weeks on the trot for Armagh. Building up a head of steam.

Where's this on, Kiltoom?
