The Official Roscommon Thread

[Rossfan]

We'll demolishall the Athlone Bridges, we'll take back the Connacht side, we'll fight them in the callows, we'll burn Kinnegad.......

[Shrewdness]

I'm open to correction on this. If this disgraceful proposal goes through, it would also hurt Co Roscommon from the Gaa perspective. The entire Clann na nGael club area would become part of Co Westmeath, as would part of the St Brigid's club area.. This, plus the obvious financial implications for our county, will ensure that this ridiculous proposal, from a government who closed our A/E, cannot and will not succeed.

Just stay strong ,dont give the bastas an inch when it comes to the GAA . It happened in a Mayo town over 100 years ago but the GAA stayed strong and never gave the blowins an inch , the town went but the club remained and so did its soul .

Thomas Corcoran should be back in march, Cathal Compton has returned to light training and should be in full training by early Feb., on another note a very important meeting in the Athlone springs hotel tonight at 8pm about the attempted transfer of 30 square klms of Roscommon into Westmeath. Any person with Rossie blood in their veins should try and be there.

That is outrageous. I have a bit of rossie blood but it-s not about that. Westof the Shannon is Connacht. East of the Shannon is hell.
Cromwell nailed it, really. The ****.

If they succeed in transferring those 30 sq KM to Westmeath, will you be changing your name?

Difference is a Mayoman, John Dillon (the yellow Library house beside Duffs) was responsible for that transfer and Mayo gained Ardnaree from Sligo so suffered no population loss while Roscommon lost the West Bank of Athlone back then.This time a Mayo Taoiseach's gov is looking to transfer 7000 Rossies and Connacht people to Westmeath. West of Shannon is historically, culturally and geographically Ros. If the govt wants to do battle with the Roscommon people they they will have to rewrite the Ballad of Athlone to "Does any man dream that a Rossie can fear?" We'll keep them out like we did the Williamites.

According to various estimates, the attendance figure at last night's '' Save Roscommon'' meeting in Athlone was '' as high as 1500 people''.

I see Cake is entering the political arena, he should have some ideas on flood control anyway.

No doubt his ideas will involve drawing random triangles all over a map of the Midlands.

I support all of the above. Leave Shannonbridge alone though.

[Shrewdness]

This will be a huge pre election issue if the government don't back down.

[Syferus]

Will be a mighty boost for Cake if he's getting himself stuck in. Hopkins will be the big loser.

Nah, he'll be like a dog with two lamposts and only one pee. 'Twill be hard to make a decision.
Does he look east or does he look west?

best line of last night was "we might be from the bog but we are not turf"

Haha, of course he's getting stuck in .Id hazard a guess it's a big part of the plan like.

Even though Kelly and Hopkins do not support this, Fine Gael and Labour will be history in Roscommon. Basically, handing the 3rd seat to Cake, even though FF in disarray in county.
