Hastings Cup 2016 - Now back to normal

[Rossfan]

It's not bloody arbitary as the Larry Co Board have run the Hastings (and Manning) for years. You're just peeved it's not in Ballinlough. Plenty of good houses alongside the Longford road.

It's Ros-Mayo. It shouldn't be played in Longford, ever. It was fine when we were playing Cavan or Meath in semis and finals, where Longford made logistical sense, but when you end up with two Connacht teams going to Longford for a tie it exposes the frailties of the system. If it's about the Larries giving themselves a jolly up because they organise the tournament it's one of the most ego-driven rules by any GAA organising committee.

You'd have got a damn sight more people in Ballinlough for this match than Longford, by the way.

To paraphrase something someone once might have said -
LONGFORD TODAY, LONGFORD TOMORROW, LONGFORD FOREVER

Anyone able to point me in the direction of somewhere with the fixtures for this and the shield competition seeing as how our boys are in that now? Heard a murmur they might be playing Monaghan this weekend but not sure.

Yip, in the Gaelic Grounds.

Nah, that wouldn't be fair to Monaghan..if it was a Connacht team it would be fine though.

Even Kerry won't be slipping out of the Larries' noose.

Is this over yet?

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

Is this over yet?

Not quite. You'll know when it is though..thread title will be changed to "Roscommon dominated - Hastings cup 2015" or similar..

[Rossfan]

Seein as we drew with Kerry we can't be too bad. Now if we only had 1.25 million to pick from....

[ck]

Mayo will win Hastings easily

[Shrewdness]

With Ros likely to rest their u-21's from the Senior team, it looks like Mayo's Hastings Cup to lose??

[Rossfan]

Any word on where this game might be staged?
Be good for the game if the Rhus won the Hastings.

I thought Ming was supposed to get job creation going in Ros. There's no reason you couldn't have a million population with the right macroeconomic incentives. There's plenty of land and everything.

Ming is like most Independents ( or Politicians) - full of you know what and good at expelling hot air.
And of course he's against everything.......
