Will the AI QF's be at Croke Park or will there be home/away in those as well? Went to the Sunday double header last year and could be tempted again.

They'll be in Croke Park (once there's no boxing, rugger, concerts etc)
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

All in Croke Park June 27th,28th and more than likely double headers each day.

The four winners in Round 2A will have a break week to rest and prepare for their Quarter final

Tougher schedule for the other 4 with playing three consecutive weekends in a row.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Meath footballer Ruairí Kinsella has suffered an ACL injury and is out for the year.  Happened a few days ago at training.

Same injury for Killian McGinnis of Dublin he was subbed off v Louth last weekend with that injury

Quote20k tickets sold already for Galway v Westmeath looks like the home side will be outnumbered in support.

It's now sold out on Ticketmaster. With a capacity of c.26k, I've heard there's an anticipated 15k travelling from Westmeath.

18k trying to cross Galway, yous better leave early or hire a boat from Oranmore

Big loss for Meath that.

Question for Monaghan lads or anyone else used to matches in Clones...
Where can you park on big match days?
I've only been there for League games when you can abandon car anywhere.
Play the game and play it fairly

Is this a big match day? after all it's only the Rossies coming to town :D

Clones, BIG and not so BIG matchday parking map

On the game itself, the short analysis is, history shows (for the most part) we get well beaten in Roscommon  and we beat ye lot anyplace outside of Roscommon.


Armagh18

Big game for the Rossies, a lot of people had them as probably top 5 and a outside chance of an All Ireland or at least a semi final after a couple of very impressive wins in Connacht but now are facing down the barrel of not even getting to the last 12 and will need a big performance to beat a the most dogged resilient bunch of hoors ever to play football. Will definitely tune into the last 20 minutes of this one anyway!

First championship meeting between the two? Can't recall any before while plenty of league encounters.
