Mayo v Roscommon - Connacht SFC Semi-Final, June 20, Venue TBC

[rosnarun]

Its €25 for the concrete seating.

sorry cant keep up with all the inflation defaltion.
the season ticket will work too so between the 1st two championship games it will nearly pay for itself regardless of the league.

[Barney]

With the cost of tickets and a Saturday evening throw-in can't see much more than 10k at this

Was getting to that point. I reckon that tickets will be available at the gate too.
With the Stand being dearer they wont even fill it. 

[blackhouse]

ah there'll be more than thousand now, weather is SUPPOSED to be good so it should drag a good few people out. I know there's gonna be alot from ros' anyway...

[Farrandeelin]

That's when having good neighbours helps! Anyway, as Moysider said, I am for one surprised that Kevin Mc isn't starting. Now the team has been announced, I hope the players do the job on the day. I personally, despite being critical of Kilcoyne in the past hope he does well on Sunday and hopefully he won't be brought off too early.

[venter]

I think mcloughlin will start. I'm looking forward to seehow moran and o shea get on in the full forward line.

Rossies

The Roscommon team shows one change from the side that defeated Leitrim in the first round of the Connacht SFC. 

David Keenan who received a shoulder injury in that game is replaced by David Casey. Casey missed the latter stages of the NFL because of a knee injury but has recovered fully from that complaint and is fit to take his place. 
Paul Gleeson who replaced Keenan in the Leitrim game drops to the bench as a result of Casey's selection
Senan Kilbride who suffered a foot injury in the Leitrim game has recovered and takes his place at full forward.

Paul Freeman a member of the Eire Ōg club comes into the subs as a result of his performances with the Roscommon junior side that retained their Connacht junior crown when they defeated Mayo recently.

Roscommon have defeated Mayo once in the Championship in this decade. They defeated Mayo in the Connacht final of 2001 on a scoreline of 2-10 to1-12.

In the two meetings since then Mayo have defeated Rosccommon comfortably. In 2004 Mayo were victorious on a scoreline of 2-13 to 0-9 while in 2005 Mayo were winners on a scoreline of 1-16 to 0- 11 for Roscommon.

Roscommon have not won in Castlebar since 1986 in the Connacht SFC, losing on four occasions [1992, 1995, 1999, 2004] and drawing twice [1989 and 1991] since then.

got an Email to say Tickets will be available on the gate or some where near it.

No surprises there in the Roscommon team. Casey comes in after as expected for the injured Keenan.

Cant wait for Saturday now.

What an awe inspiring list of supeRosmen ( 1 or 2 maybe not   ) who go to the dark land to try and slay the evil rhubarb monster.
In the name of the dead generations of Rosmen who fought and died that we might be free of evil monsters  Ros summons her gossoons to her righteous cause.
Remember the great heritage ye have inherited.
Let's do it for Queen Maeve,Niall of the 9 hostages, Saints Eithne and Fidelma, St Coman,St Croan,St Faithleach,St Michael,St Ronan,Ned Duffy, The O'Connor kings of Ireland, Douglas Hyde,Percy French,the 42 who died for Ireland and Freedom and of course Uachtarán na hEireann herself.
Remember 43 and 44 and famous days in Castlebar like 52 , 72,79 and 86.
Remember O'Malley,Lindsay,Earley,Tony Mc,Jigger and most of all Harry Keegan. When ye see a Mayoman coming through with the ball ask yourself " What would Harry Keegan do?"
He'd drive man and ball half way to bloody Belmullet so do the same and ye can win the day.

We WILL BATE them in Castlebar and won't we  be the proud buckos as we hit the first Ros town we meet on the way home ....BALLAGHADEREEN.... to drink a few pints of porter and  then piss in Durkans.

We could well go the same way 
Still once we're up for it and we'll stay to the end no matter what.

Didn't realise you were that old Rossfan? It might explain the delusion at least.
