Lads, take no notice of the national media.The only thing that matters tonight is the Division 1
league table that has Roscommon on 6 points and in second position behind only the Dubs.,

A particular set of results in the remaining games could still see Roscommon relegated on 6 points. Too complex to go into. We could do with at least another point to make sure.

A few weeks ago, the Roscommon Co Board issued a statement about Hyde Park.
They said that work on the pitch would commence in late June. Presumably, this is to
facilitate, hopefully, a Connacht Semi final against Sligo Iin June.

It`s bad enough giving up home advantage for League games, but if the work on Hyde Park is brought
forward, it means that we will also have to give up home advantage for a Championship match
against a team who beat us last Summer.

One thing for certain is that Hyde Park is doing us no favours in our efforts to stay in Division 1

Ros better try and secure their safety this weekend. If we beat Down, we`re on 6 points, which should be enough to stay up.
This is especially crucial when viewed with the Hyde Park situation. If this broken weather continues for another few weeks, it`s almost certain that we`ll have to move outside the county to play our `` Home`` games against Mayo and Dublin.

Also heard a rumour today, that the Donegal/Roscommon game may have to be switched from Letterkenny to Ballybofey to accomodate the expected large attendance. May even be an all ticket game.

Don`t worry about it Rossfan, we`ve had bigger embarassments
than having to change venue. As long as we get the 2 points..Think the Hyde Park mightn`t
have helped us anyway. Kiltoom pitch should suit better.

If Mayo can curtail Mc Manus` influence, I wouldn`t be one bit surprised to see them
beat Monaghan in this game.

Potential banana skin for Roscommon

Actually, so did Kevin Mc Stay and Liam Mc Hale..........Okay,  I take it all back.

Donaghy

In fairness, Donaghy is a bad lad! Kicking away footballs! Mouthing! He's easy hate. I'm looking for people you hate that you really should not.

Anyone wearing the green and red.........Bunker, you made me say it.

A few comings and goings on the club scene involving a couple of our inter county players.

Donal Ward has left Dublin club, Kilmacud Crokes to return to his home club
Western Gaels.
Heading in the opposite direction is Roscommon full back, Neil Collins who is leaving Castlerea St Kevins
to play in Castleknock.

Congrats to Cathal Cregg, named Gaa.ie player of the week with 42pc of the vote.

Bunker, if they told us that stuff before a match, we`d be wary.

But when we hear it after we`ve beaten them, they can tell us whatever they want.

Yes, Sean Purcell will need to work on his headlock technique 

Fair play Ciarrai, excellent, fair and balanced post from you.
