Roscommon V Offaly NFL Div 3

[Benny Sweeney]

This will be a good game offaly are at home and I expect roscommon to win this game even though it is away from home offaly are not doing great this year and look poor roscommon had a fantastic win over Tipp and are very strong to get promoted

roscommon are 4/6 with paddpowers and this is buying money

[Keane]

Offaly really need a performance after their abject showing last week, so hopefully we'll see a spirited performance from them to regain some pride.

Got to fancy Roscommon though.

Got to fancy Roscommon though.

I agree. We're a pretty young, and very inexperienced, team but we need to show a lot more than we did last week. Roscommon are beatable, but it may be too soon for this bunch of Offaly lads. I will say that if we lose, the early season predictors of the drop will be pretty confident.

[Blowitupref]

These games are nearly always high scoring affairs i don't see much value in betting Roscommon? Offaly at 6/4 is a more tempting bet.

[Bord na Mona man]

This is crucial one for Offaly, defeat and relegation is already looming. With Slattery, McManus and Scott Brady gone, there is an obvious lack of experience and leadership.
A lot of pruning has gone on, but there might be much more than a tree stump left at this stage.

Performances have been poor so far this year, so Offaly are relying on the 'click' factor on Sunday.

[Rossfan]

I expect we'll plenty of it from the Biffs in Tullamore on Sunday and I'll be very happy if we have a point to spare at full time.

[Syferus]

All indications would point to a Roscommon victory, but this division is likely to throw up unexpected results and we're still without a vast portion of our panel. We played well for the most part last weekend save from controlling ball in the middle, whenever we were in the defensive or attacking phases we looked very solid apart from a couple wild passes. If Higgins, Shine and Finneran can exert more influence in the air it's very hard to see Offaly winning this one.
