Ros away to Dublin 20th July 2019

[manfromdelmonte]

Dublin will stroll it if it was played on the moon.

At least the Rossies get the experience of getting hammered in Croker as opposed to some midlands dump.

I know, they'll have the joy of an extra hour or two to relive said hammering on the journey home. In a line of cars snaking out of Dublin or an more expensive public transport, no €2.70 15-20 min rides home for them.

Like the majority of the population of Roscommon, they can also chose to leave it.

One sixth of the population of Roscommon attended the Hyde Saturday.
One forty fifth of the population of Dublin attended Croke Park Saturday.
Go back to your soccer you floot 

Is my point. Most Roscommoners dont live there, unless you are actually arguing 1 in 6 locals went, which would be silly.

Those pesky Roscommon people lying on the census forms again

Lookit, if you believe 11,000 Rossies were there, never mind 11,000 travelled from Roscommon, best of luck.

Another floot added to my ignore list.

Sometimes words are not enough, stupidity abounds.

This game should be in Croke Park. That's the way the 'Super 8s' we're laid out. Cork this year, and Roscommon last year, would have had legitimate gripes about playing in Croke Park

Donegal played two away games last year, not Roscommon. Their game against Dublin in Croke Park was Dublin's home game. Their game against Tyrone was in Croke Park as a neutral venue.

Whereas Donegal's "neutral" game was against Dublin, in Croke Park, which is the same as us playing a neutral game in Ballybofey.

Yes, Donegal had two away last year, Roscommon two away this year. Congress (shamefully) rejected the Donegal motion to change that. It is made more ridiculous by the fact that Croke Park will be half full. No one is going to be denied seeing Dublin Ros by moving it to Offaly or Portlaoise.

That was my point. That game was always supposed to be in Croke Park. Roscommon should t have played the dubs there at all

[Rossfan]

Maybe we should boycott the whole unfair HQ/Dublin love in.
The last train to North Riscommon leaves Drumcondra at 7.25pm.
Sure what matter when the Dublin Corporate sector can have a Saturday night event before their night out.
Will the crowd reach 40k on Saturday?

Totally agree with the above. How could this fixture be in any other venue? As Sean Kelly said ''All teams should aspire to beating Dublin in Croke Park. Every team loves to play in Croke Park. It is such a privilege for rural counties to get a day out in Dublin and to see the inside of Croker.  The atmosphere will be magic on Jones Rd. The 7pm kick off is also for the benefit of the Roscommon fans giving them plenty of the day to make the journey to Dublin.

They'll be back home to their rural pubs about 11:30pm which gives them plenty of drinking time. The modern GAA are of the people, for the people. It makes my heart flutter!

Really looking forward to this game. It will be a cracker!

[Rossfan]

When did kick offs come in?

[kerryforsam19]

Yet another match thread turning into dividing the dubs into 4 or croke park. We 20 plus threads on that already.😂😂😂😂😂

Where did you get this nonsense about "neutral games". There are no "neutral games" in the Super 8. Not a single one. There are home games, away games and Croke Park games.

From the moment the format was introduced, before the beginning of championship 2018, there has never been mention of a "neutral" round. There's a Croke Park round. It's disingenuous to pretend you thought it was a neutral round. It was clear in black and white from the day the vote was taken, that there was to be a home round, an away round and a Croke Park round. This ensured every quarter-finalist got a game in Croke Park. This is what the counties wanted and voted for.

From the beginning of the introduction of quarter-finals, the Leinster champions have always played their QF in Croker. Most of the time that's been Dublin and there's been no uproar. If there had been, then there may been some debate as to whether the round in Super 8s should be a neutral round rather than a Croke Park round, but there wasn't. It didn't come up. On the other hand, there has been uproar in the past when a provincial champion didn't get to play a game in Croke Park. Hence the Croke Park round was an automatic choice that everyone bought into at the time.

Should the semi finals and final be played at a neutral ground or in Croke Park?

Dublin moved the posts, they have now designated Croke Park as their home officially having played all NFL games there since 2011. The fairest and most natural thing is that all Dublin games in the Leinster and AI series bar the 2 finals should be played at a neutral venues same as every other team in Leinster and every team in the AI series. It's a mockery of the competition that 8 years later this hasn't been addressed.

Well how come they played their home game in Croke Park? Especially as you say they didn't.
