Roscommon v Armagh AI Round 1 Quailifer

[Syferus]

Our stand is so massive and so imposing it actually frightens away the rain by itself.

You obviously weren't there on the 20th July 2003.

Think that was the date

I was awful day Steven McDonnell gave a great exhibition of forward play but last year's weather for the Connacht final was alot worse.

Literally had to go to the dentist after that because a filling came out, just a completely crazy day.

Genuinely struggling to believe weather could have been worse than the Limerick qualifier. Any Rossies with ideas of where to stay the Saturday night and where the best places to socialise for a bunch of 20 and 30 somethings?

Carrick on Shannon is only half an hour from Roscommon. Good night life, plenty of hen nights and cheap accomodation.

Wind & rain in last year's Connacht final it was like the middle of October. Hannon's hotel up the road from Hyde park or Gleeson's middle of the town are decent places to stay & if your staying hollywood ,Central,JJ harlows bars & finish the night off in Rockfords.

Carrick on Shannon is about a 50 minute drive from Roscommon town & is one of the best nightlife towns in Connacht.

I ve been attending matches in the Hyde for more than 30 years and I can only recollect one real lovely summers day - 1988 I think it was. It s usually wet and windy or just dull and windy. Last years Connacht final was the worst conditions for a championship match I ve ever seen.

The heavens will continue to weep 'till we vanquish the twin titans.

Commentator is a special one and Hairy Mary/Hail Mary is a favorite buzz word for him.  He'll be saying a lot for the balls into Shine if things are not going well for Roscommon.
