Roscommon v Galway - Connacht SFC Final 2017 [Wind Tunnel, 9/7/17]

[Rossfan]

We were all wound up last year whereas this year th'oul bandwagon will be more modest.
Were only 16k at the replay mind you.

The two supporters voted with their feet when Castlebar was chosen as the venue it seems. Is it true if the replay was played in Salthill the next two Roscommon Galway games would be played in Hyde park?

Castlebar was way handier for Roscommon people. The 9k that were missing were mostly the Galway bandwagoners who probably hadn't been to a Galway game in eight years.

[Manning18]

Roscommon drew in the wind tunnel last year first day out. this year they seem to be going in much fresher
this game is going to be close
smart money is on the draw

The proper Smart money is almost never on the Draw in GAA tbh

Mustve been almost exclusively Galway in Salthill that day so? When you add the 9k to the second half attendance in Castlebar

Ever hear of anecdotal evidence?

[seafoid]

Syferus 1.0 would have said Kevin Walsh is useless, Ros will win this by 10 points, Galway are overrated, Mayo are crap anyway
The latest iteration is far more bland.

How many likely changes in the Roscommon team that played Galway last year?

How many likely changes in the Roscommon team that played Galway last year?

We don't know. Mullooly has a broken toe and Seanie's got a hand injury.

Seanie's opening a barbers in Ballagh, so at least we have that going for us.

How many likely changes in the Roscommon team that played Galway last year?

I might be missing a few more but from what i understand Donal Keenan,Senan Kilbride,Donal Shine,Sean Purcell,Niall Daly,Cathal Cregg,Fergal Lennon,Tom Corcoran,Ultan Harney all played in the Connacht finals last year and won't this year. Doubts surrounding a few more players Cathal Compton,Sean Mullooly,Sean McDermott,David Murray because of injury.

It's about the same time we named the team before the Leitrim game. No BS like alot of managers engage in.

What a vote of confidence in a young lad like Brian Stack. Second ever start for the seniors in a bearpit like Salthill on Connacht final Sunday. Might surprise a few people if he shows what he's capable of.

[cornetto]

I believe the galway team has also been picked,who will be starting has not been released to the media yet,I suppose it lets the players prepare mentally for the game.

[giveballaghback]

Really looking forward to Sunday, having seen Mayo produce another performance like they did in Salthill again on Saturday against a very poor Derry team gives me some hope that we may be in here with a bit of a shout, I trust McStays management and he seems to have things under control after a very stormy spring, we have a very young under developed team but they are a team of very good footballers. We all know our weaknesses and out strengths. Maybe this Galway team are being over rated after that Mayo display, hogan stand has them no 5 in their ratings, over rated for sure, but are the Rossies good enough to turn them over? Im gonna say yes a Roscommon win and every rte commentator will have Diarmuid Murtaghs name correct on Sunday evening.
