Roscommon vs. Mayo - Connacht SFC Semi-final (Dr. Hyde Park, June 8th 2014)

[Rossfan]

Only County Season ticket holders are entitled to have seats reserved. I'm on to the season ticket office in Croker in a few minutes.
However the Prenty Council people seem to have some funny ideas - a rhubarb accented guy with a  "Connaught(sic) GAA" high vis wouldn't let me in to the debacle v Galway in 2012 as " Them Seashon tiiickets aaaare only forrrr Leeeeague gaaames".
Had to find a more Senior one of them to tell that buck the facts.

[Collie Brolly]

Would be interested to hear the views of the Mayo lads on here about Roscommon. Where are their strengths and weaknesses? If Mayo could take one Ros player to play for them, who would you choose, although i'm sure ye think that none of the Ros players would get on the Mayo team?

Why ask the question and then answer it yourself?

I would take Kilbride and put him in 13. Room would have to be made for Donie Shine in the forwards. The 3rd member of Syf's 'best 3 forwards in Connacht' would have to be looked at as well. I'd keep our backs and midfield, but then there aren't many in any county that I'd swap for in those departments.

With Enda Smith and Diarmuid Murtagh it's up to 5 of 6 now.

It's probably a year too soon for the Murt at Senior and Enda Smith went missing when it mattered most at u21 level nothwithstanding he is easily the most comfortable Roscommon football on the ball since maybe John Hanley.
All in good time for these lads.

He probably thought you'd take up two seats with the size of the chip on your shoulder!

Or his friggin' swelled head!

Wll ladeens and lasheens I've stopped the cunning plan to only house rhus in the Stand.
It's now first come first served for everyone incl Season ticket holders and when the Stand is full it's on to the open seats.
Now if only Johneen and the lads could stymie part 2 of the cunning plan for Rhubarb domination......

That was fairly obvious from the outset, and it was all triggered by a rumour on stolensheep! You wouldn't want to take anything the Rossie hoors say for certain!

[larryin89]

What a stupid conversation by Ros posters asking Mayo posters what Ros players they'd like to have.

Well said.
We don't want any of our players goin near them hoors
It seems the Prentyfia are not releasing any stand seats for sale so the rumour that they are all reserved for Rhubarb Club season ticket holders must be true.
When will the delegates from the other 4 Connacht Counties grow some balls and let them know that the Connacht Council is for FIVE Counties not ONE.

Ya, nice few lads coming up too...Seami Cunniffe will proudly wear the Green and Red for years to come too...How do you like those apples Rossfan?

How many fit into the stand by the way?  Rossie arse dimensions are known to be bigger than average but a ball park figure will do.

Drink has him off the minor panel.

f**k the Stand in The Hyde! It s like watching a match from a different time zone anyway with all the rubble between the seats  and the pitch. Far better experience the other side with the bit of an awning to give a bit of cover if it s hot and you re red in the head ........ a species that getting fewer and fewer even in the last bastions of the west. I ve a stand ticket but wouldn t go near the stand. Last time in The Hyde I got a good soaking in the rain and gale on the terrace but I enjoyed the game. These games are a gift. I won t be troubling anybody for a stand seat.

Ye better hope he's kept on the bench, would be hard to watch the poor Rossies bouncing off this lad on their own pitch

Let's see him bouncing a ball first.

Is Adam Gallagher gone off the panel completely??

Would be very disappointed if he was. Showed enough in the early league games that he could be developed into a viable option, but hasn't been seen since. Anyone know if he has completely fallen out of favour with management?

We're fairly good at keeping things very hush hush and it can be awful annoying at times. The way Horan doesn't name a bench when the team is named. I can see why it's done though.
Maybe a few more interview with AOS will reveal more!

[Shrewdness]

The only way i can see Gavin Duffy playing against Ros, is if Mayo are winning by 10 -15 points with 10 mins remaining. He could come on then. But if Mayo are having any trouble putting Ros away, Horan will turn to the more regular subs.

[ck]

Lads have any of yee seen Duffy playing at all? How would you rate him?

[Mayo4Sam]

Good under a high ball, never really suited to the wing. Was in Murrayfield the day he scored a six nations try
