Roscommon v Armagh AI Round 1 Quailifer

[Rossfan]

Willie on the wireless is as good a motivation as any for going to the game.

Hairy Marys?

Nice wan old boy - Shannon Side wireless it is so.

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.

I'll keep my ears open form them Hairy Marys!

Can only see an Armagh win here. I don't think the players are committed to the Newton regime and while it is harsh to judge a manager who has only been in charge for a few months, I don't think he's the right man to lead Roscommon forward. I'd like to see Donie Smith and Colin Compton introduced against Armagh with Donal Shine moving into the half forward line and helping out in midfield. He played a similar role in the 2010 all ireland u-21 semi-final against Dublin and helped Roscommon to dominate midfield but wasteful shooting cost them that day. I hope they can prove me wrong on Sunday.

Perhaps wasteful shooting cost them as their best forward was playing out round the middle? A case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. See the Kildare debate on the use of J Doyle.

I can see your point but Shine and Kilbride don't work well together in the full forward line and on that occasion in the u-21 semi final Shine was guilty of wasteful shooting himself.

What's with the user name bud? 
Could you not think up something more original?
Unfortunately , and risking an outbreak of censure from Mr Spin himself -Syferus- , I have to agree with the substance of your piece.
Also like you I hope to be proved wrong

[Farrandeelin]

Ah Rossfan, I'd love if there were a few more Farrandeelins on the board. It would be like semi-godlike status. rossfan 2012 must look up to you!

[Rossfan]

Martin McGuinness will want to shake my hand next 

[Syferus]

One of those miserable feckers was enough 

[Captain Obvious]

When the draw was made i thought Armagh would win by 7-9 points however with a few defenders out injured i think it will be closer now. Armagh by 4-6 points.

Ah sure we're all rossfans, Rossfan. I wonder how many Ross fans will go to the game on Sunday? looking around the popular prediction is Armagh by 6pts i guess improvement on the Galway game
