Rossies v the Dubs, being played somewhere next Sunday.

[mayo.mick]

U21 Final moved to Markypark so I think the Jackeens better start buying wellies as they will be Hydebound Sunday come Hell or high water( sorry).

Lot of rain on the way, Fri/Sat night and Sunday looking bad. Can see it being moved to Tullamore, pitch could be flooded again.

That system will have burned itself out by Sunday. Pitches in Stockholm, Rome and Munich should be playable.

Forecasts for Ireland


TODAY ... Showers will advance once again from western counties this morning to provide hit or miss coverage of all regions later on, and one or two could once again produce hail or thunder. The westerly to northwesterly breezes today will be rather gentle, 30-50 km/hr at times but there will be intervals of slack winds, if these combine with any sunshine then it may feel warmer than the actual high temperature which will be 8 to 11 C.

TONIGHT ... Widespread clearing but still a few isolated showers persisting near west coast. Lows inland -3 to +2 C.

THURSDAY ... Morning sunshine, afternoon cloud increasing from west to east, and highs of 8 to 12 C. Winds rather light at first, then south to southwest increasing to 40-60 km/hr later.

FRIDAY ... Periods of rain from early morning in west, spreading to east by late morning or mid-day, but remaining heavier in western counties (15-25 mm potential there, 5-15 mm east). Moderate southerly winds 50-70 km/hr and highs 10-12 C.

SATURDAY ... Overcast, some fog or mist, light rain or drizzle redeveloping and becoming more of a heavy downpour by the overnight hours into Sunday morning. About 20-40 mm rain could fall in that time frame, with temperatures steady 9-12 C. Rain may be heaviest in western counties and there is some risk of flooding resuming.

SUNDAY ... Morning rain or showers slowly moving away to north with slight clearing by late in the day, lows near 7 C and highs near 13 C.

As long as there's no more rain between now and Christmas, the Hyde should be ready for the league in 2017.

Bit of a joke really at this stage. Everyone, teams included, need certainty. There is no way that match will take place considering the graphics attached. Nothing but rain as usual in this country.

Should the Mayo county board give Ballaghaderreen permission to allow Roscommon play this game on their pitch? Be a nice neighbourly gesture.

The Rossies and the Saffrons have fairline went in different trajectories since 'Umbrellagate' a few years back

Div 3 for us next year and hope to keep climbing to get back to the Hyde and tore into ye in the not very distant future!

This match thread has become a weather thread. Omagh had more puddles of water on it Saturday night than Hyde park.

Not sure this is as relevant as the Roscommon County Board think it is, but from watching on TV, I thought Omagh seemed bad, but Hyde seemed a lot worse

The more I think about it the better it would be to force Dublun to play at the Hyde. The contrast of how the other half lives will be too obvious to ignore.

If played on a good surface this could be quite an enjoyable match but honestly with nothing at stake getting the money from the gate is more important.

Omagh looked worse IMO. No pitch good or bad could have coped with the amount of rainfall we got last weekend.

You'd think with all the queen's money that has been spent, they could have done something with the pitch and drainage up there.
Disgraceful.

They have, this is a typical pitch in Tyrone.

Looks like swimmimg goggles will be standard equipment on Sunday. Actually probably will be worn by all teams facing the Dubs to protect from eye gouging

Or maybe staying at home because none of you can beat us.
