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.

I agree it's a foregone conclusion if played on a good pitch. It needs to be on a mudbath to make it competitive and give you a chance.

We've technically in breach of a Corporate Social Responsibility Footprint thus far to allow one minnow to beat us in the league. So Santa Claus may arrive for Rsocommon this weekend.
You do realise this game is a dead rubber for both teams?

This would be the biggest win in Roscommon's history in fairness. We've nothing to play for.
In fairness it's a dead rubber game if ever there was one however Dublin will be looking to maintain their unbeaten run.

Not really no. Unbeaten runs are an occupational hazard when you're as good as we are

If Dublin were to lose their unbeaten record against Roscommon would Jim Gavins unbroken smirk become a frown?

Yep, would make their two All Ireland wins in front of 80000+ people back in the day pale into insignificance.

****EXCLUSIVE****
Sources close to the Dublin team have revealed to this page that due to worries about the playing surface at Dr Hyde Park and with heavy rain forecast, the Dublin footballers have this week been put through their paces at the National aquatic centre in preparation for the clash against the Rossies. It was also revealed that should Dublin win the toss before the match, they will defend the deep end in the first half.

Plenty of water for them round Carrick ( on Shannon) too. ;)
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Croke Park?

Dr. Hyde Park.

Any change will be decided tomorrow morning with Carrick the venue.

In fairness economically this is the biggest event in Roscommon since the last time Enda drove through it on his way to mayo

Rossfan

13,000 plus last Sunday and also the Easter parade.
So biggest event in 7 days.
Play the game and play it fairly

Beffs

I'd be surprised if the Dublin game gets a bigger crowd than the Mayo one. Dublin & Roscommon are not traditional rivals. Neither county are facing relegation, so nothing is really at stake.
