He's probably up in court or something
No need for that sort of shite on here. Every individual on every squad in the country has their own story.

Supreme player, be interesting to see how far off the pace he is at the moment and if has enough time to catch up. Heard, not sure if true, that he's been on a personal programme for some time being monitored by Jim Galvin/ backroom team member.

Dubs unchanged for tonight .

Strange not to see Connolly on the bench, seemed like the perfect opportunity for him to get some game time

Not that strange, all Gavin said was that Connolly returned to training. All named subs have been training for months and would be ahead of Connolly in the pecking order.  If next weeks game is a dead rubber then all subs today will be starters and Connolly will likely get some game time in that match.

Let's be honest, all the named subs aren't Diarmuid Connolly. I'd have thought they'd want to et him up and running ASAP, and Roscommon in CP seems like the best time to reintroduce him.
You can forget about Sean Cavanagh as far as he's a man!

Interesting that Bernard has replaced O'Gara on the bench. A bit more surprising is Daly into the 26, replacing Murchan. Perhaps injury related.

Gavin almost always gives the 1-15 jerseys to the lads who started the last game. It does not mean that's the starting team (dublin gaa even announced it as the 'Dublin panel')

When did a Jim Gavin team last start as selected? I'd expect Rock to start tonight maybe Cooper and McCarthy also.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Last week!

It's starts as selected every time he plays the same 15 in consecutive matches. If he does make tactical changes , then he doesn't announce it until before throw in. Unless serious injury or suspension, numbers 1-15 are given to the lads who started the previous game, regardless of whether they're starting this time or not.

Cooper McCarthy and Rock all starting for Dublin. Showing roscommon a lot of respect by starting their strongest 15.

twohands!!!

The margin last year was 14 points.
At this stage you'd imagine Roscommon would be delighted to keep it to 14 points.

Roscommon #4 has thrown his team under the bus for the 2nd half.

I know each game is its own event, but where the f**k does this leave Mayo and Galway? Even the rest of us?

It's like a training match. Mannion was in ten yards of space to hit that long one from out by the Cusack towards the end of the half.

Sadly the biggest cheer so far was the Rossie Lad getting sent off.

Attendance of 36K. Where are the Gaa going to get the money to keep funding the Golden Child?

Were going to get well beaten regardless  lack of discipline from Conor Daly. Roscommon have no S&C to be competitive without a break between games as seen now v Galway,Mayo and Tyrone in the last years and when you are up against the most conditioned team in Ireland its a nightmare scenario for the rossies.

Given how the Dubs usually finish games this could easily end in a 20+ point drubbing unless they completely lose interest.

Dublin players are in some condition. Few of their forwards look in ridiculously good shape.

Probably start cutting the funding to the rest of the county.

A stat I saw earlier

Dublin have won 8 of the last 11 Leinster U21/20 football titles and 4 out of the last 9 All-Ireland U21/U20 football titles (they're joint favourites to win the All-Ireland this year as well).
They won 7 Leinster titles and no All-Ireland in the previous 45 years.
