Roscommon manager John Evans doesn't buy into the concept that they could have received a more difficult or easier draw in the qualifiers.
The Rossies must travel to Breffni Park on Saturday week where they will take on home side Cavan in round 2B of the football qualifiers.
When asked by the Roscommon Herald could they have been handed a more favourable draw, the Kerry native was unequivocal in his answer.
"I don't look at it that way. The draw is what it is," stated Evans. Sometimes you have to be careful for what you wish for. We know them and they know us.
"We took silverware from them in Arpil and they will be hell bent on putting it to the Rossies," added the former Tipperary manager.
Roscommon can call on the likes of Donal Keane, Conor Daly and David Keenan for the Cavan match after all three recovered from injury, but they will be still without star forward Donie Shine who is out with a knee injury.
