How much longer is Cassidy likely to be out for? If we get past Roscommon will he make the dublin game even on the bench?

As far as I know he was close for this weekend and should be fit for selection next weekend.

Jesus, that's bad luck for him, not much use being fit when you're out of the Championship

Best of luck to Ros tomorrow, awful pity this isn't on telly. Will have to follow it on twitter and here! Is it being broadcast on any of the national radio stations?

Yeah, Justy needs the game time. I'd have expected him to be in as well.

If I hear or read the expression ' game time' again, I will fcukin SCREAM

That's an impressive Tyrone lineout when you read it. Full of power, quality and most importantly experience. However I think Roscommon will be competitive tomorrow. They're a young, dedicated and improving side. They know that (even allowing for weather conditions) they played poorly in the Connacht Final. They've nothing to lose by going for it tomorrow. Best of luck to Fergie and the lads and above all here's to a good game of football.

Game time is what Justy needs.

Best of luck Roscommon tomorrow. Sneaky feeling that ye'll pull off a big upset.

Best of luck to Ross tomorrow. Well capable of winning imo.

Joke that its not on TV, whoever is in charge of scheduling the games at RTE must have a real hard-on for Kildare as they have never been off the box this summer.

Lar Naparka · July 29, 2011, 02:05:40 PM

C'mon the Rossies!
The game in the Hyde will stand to ye and I expect to see a cuter and more disciplined display tomorrow.
I'll be there to cheer ye on.

Kildare weren't on last weekend and it's a gaa decision in this instance, nothing to do with the broadcasters.

Is it just a case of the Grab All Association this year as they have limited TV so as to increase crowds and revenue?

Less than 24 hours to go and I'm beginning to get wound up for it.
3rd year in a row we've been involved at the last weekend in July ( OK OK I know 2 of them were because of draws but...)
and starting to get used to being a big County again.

No Ros team announced yet that I've heard and an awful quietness from those involved or close to the camp.
Hopefully that's a good sign of quiet determination for tomorrow and of putting the past behind us where it belongs.
Once the lads give a good account of themselves and leave it all on the field you can't ask for more.
If it's not good enough ... then we'll have to put up with it and hopefully the lessons learned will make us a better team next year.
On the othe hand it will be fcukin great to be preparing for a trip to Croke Pk in August to see our Seniors .

UP ROS

Team not published but apparently two changes. A good competitive performance is required.This game should bring on the younger players & hopefully they will have many more games in Croke park in the years ahead.

Best of Luck to Fergal & all the players. I obviously hope we can win & as they say "once you choose hope anything is possible"

anportmorforjfc · July 29, 2011, 05:31:47 PM

Whats the expected crowd tomorrow lads? Are the top tiers even open?

Read my piece again buckeen

It should be obvious I was talking about if we win tomorrow.....

Hope and optimism and belief are three vital ingredients for tomorrow.
Crowd wise ... Ros 7,000 Armagh 1,000 , Donegal 5,000 and Kildare 12,000 plus about 5,000 others
I'd expect the changes ( enforced or otherwise ) to be in the forwards.
