All due respect to Roscommon but the calls that this game is meaningless are bullshit. Roscommon put in one performance against a serious team last year and had their provincial title. They can do the same this year. It's a cheap title, but sure we'd love a cheap title ourselves. Cavan don't have a chance like that so beating a good Roscommon team on a big day in Croke Park with a cup up for grabs is a big game for us.

If Roscommon were facing into Donegal, Derry, Down and Tyrone to win their provincial title instead of Leitrim and Galway and the consequent positioning in the AI series I don't think they'd be brushing this off as a challenge game either.

Connacht contains three of the top seven teams in Ireland. Derry are D4, Donegal D2 and Down may well be D3 this time next week too. If Cavan can't beat those types of teams they aren't going very far no matter what province they're in, let alone the best one.

D2 league final is completely meaningless. A nice, no stakes day out. The match at the Hyde last week had a lot more on the line for both teams. This one is a challenge game.

We get it, Syf.
You don't care about the final.
Not one bit.
No Sirree.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Also known as, 'The Kildare Option'.

You should be thanking us. Bunch of wankers up in that Division 1.

Looking forward to hearing there are 3 Connacht team s in Division ad nauseam for the next 6 months. As if it matters the pick of them won't beat Dublin.

Don't know about that as Monaghan with a smaller pick than Galway and Mayo beat the mighty Dubs yesterday.

You don't think the best of Galway and Roscommon added to a team that have been a point off Dublin in the AI final for two years wouldn't have beat them?

Dinny Breen

Not one Roscommon player would make the Dublin side, struggling also to make a case for any Galway player and apart from Keegan, Colm Boyle and AOS not another Mayo player. Mayo are the epitomy of a team playing well above the team of their parts, they are a band of brothers, adding players from outside won't improve that, those from outside wouldn't have suffered and died with their boots on. Mayo are a special band of brothers, Roscommon and this Galway team, too flaky too soft.

Galway 13 points finished top of the table if you think they are too flaky and soft what you do you make of winless Kildare?

You dont need to be Einstein to know that its fairly clear cut.
AOS wouldnt get near the Dublin team. I would have Comer on the Dublin team

Dinny Breen

Dublin play a basketball styled offence and defence, they would love AOS.  Comer is just a big unskilled lump.

They don't play it at the speed of a paraplegic with a hangover, though.

Cavan will play their strongest starting 15 for this final the question is what will Roscommon do? if they make a number of changes to their starting team i think we'll all know they aren't taking this final as serious as Cavan will be.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

AOS would need to lose about a stone or more of weight to play Dublins high energy game. A bit unfair on Comer he's one of the best fielders of the ball on the Galway team which i think is still classed as one of skills of the game? a lot of game his about is power though and weak defenders struggle to contain him.
