Hopefully we dont see a dog run on pitch like in Cavan Monaghan game or else the poor auld thing could be mounted and sexually abused by Lee keegan given his past history with them

Amazing you have such compassion for four legged creatures like dogs and sheep in Rosscommon but when a few people with different coloured skin seek some shelter in an empty hotel you burn the place down! Peter Casey is sure to top the polls in Sheep Stealer land anyway being a true white gael I suppose!!

could somebody get a ban for this

Hands up yes a stupid ignorant ill informed post which I apologise unreservedly for which probably deserves a ban for!!

[five points]

The hotel wasn't even burned down. If you don't believe me, go to Rooskey and look at it yourself.

As I posted above it was a stupid ignorant ill informed post by myself which I apologise unreservedly.

Ah boys and girls the tone has been fairly lowered around here, which is saying a lot in a Mayo-Ros thread. Can we ditch all talk of hotel-burnin, sheep-shaggin, Ballagh-bashin, Badge-kissin, eye-gougin, elbow-smackin, GPS throwin, Prenty-bowlin and anything liable to start a fight and shtick to the auld pig bladder chasin.

Mayo are 2/9, looks like they only have to turn up, Mayo -5 are even money.

Tactically are the Rossies are expecting them to be very defensive on Saturday? Thats their best chance of getting a result and even more so with the size of McHale Park, not sure playing their is a advantage to Mayo.

I think most of us are hoping we avoid a tanking......

[GalwayBayBoy]

Will Ming be attending?

[weareros]

I probably should have included leg-tanning in topics likely to inflame but nevertheless the tanned one has spoken and predicts a very comfortable victory for Mayo.

McHale on offtheball this morning, very positive about Mayo's chance for the year ahead and thinks they'll have far too much for Roscommon. He always said that Roscommon should have won 3 in a row in Connacht and threw away the two they didn't win; I've listened to him a lot down the years, he doesn't exactly come across as an impressive individual you'd want involved in your setup.

Mayo people were open to McStay taking over from Horan, but it was a package deal with McHale.....that's what killed the deal

I mean Mayo should likely win but if I heard the same type of scutter coming out of Ex Galway players as Maughan and McHale my alarm bells would be ringing. They seems determined to write Roscommon's team talk for them. Anthony Cunningham will be loving it.

Probably won't be enough to change the result though.

Comments from ex players never seems to trouble Galway when they have a competitive team so it's about time Mayo teams block out the back round noise and concentrate the game in hand.
If Mayo can't get to the intensity that Ross will bring on Sat then it doesn't reflect well where the team is at at this stage of it's rebuild!

We're still hoping to avoid a tanking.....
Anyway same starting 15 as started v Laythrum.
