Would Roscommon have a reasonable expectation of beating Cork as-is? I would think so. Jaden (Dublin) - Posts: 139 - 25/07/2017 13:25:52 2023193 Link 1 |
Mayo to win it by 3 or 4 points. MedwayIrish (Wexford) - Posts: 2324 - 25/07/2017 13:48:23 2023220 Link 0 |
Mayo will win by as much as they want. They are 4-5 points the better team in Croker. I expect them win by 4-6 points without having to bring any real intensity to the game. theblackcard (Mayo) - Posts: 47 - 25/07/2017 14:04:40 2023237 Link 1 |
I was merely responding to a childish post from a Rossie fan. If Mayo are fresh enough and can tighten up I think they will win. Would it be a shock if Roscommmon won? To a certain degree yes but not a huge shock.

Id also like to thank to thank Mayo and Boylesports for totally writing us off at 4/1 odds for Sunday. Will be nice to claim those winnings next week as well as the usual yearly portrait of sad sandwich backpacker Mayo brigade. Sure Ill throw on the Green and Red of Mayo for ye to commiserate in Quinns after Sunday night, cant do better than that OverBlackSpot (Roscommon) - Posts: 47 - 25/07/2017 15:09:23 2023283 Link 2 |
Physically Mayo ahve the strenght and power to totally boss this match and one can be sure McStay know this. Perhaps in the wide open spaces of Croke Park Roscommon can negate this somewhat. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3329 - 25/07/2017 15:16:20 2023288 Link 2 |
Cork scored 2.15 in normal time . Do you think our defence will let in 21 points in normal time ?? And do you think our defence will stand of like cork or our forwards let us waltz the ball out like he did with cork??. Do the maths. Cork did us a massive favour massive . Predictions 3.17 to 14 points.:-) Ros win john1971 (Roscommon) - Posts: 185 - 25/07/2017 15:58:16 2023311 Link 1 |
I actually lol'd at this. It is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that Roscommon could win on Sunday but to be gloating and reveling at "the usual yearly portrait of sad sandwich backpacker Mayo brigade" (what a strange turn of phrase by the way) when you are a fan of a team who have had many, many disappointing and heart breaking days yourselves, on a smaller stage and many of them at the hands of Mayo (who Roscommon have not beaten in 16 years), well it is laughable. As I say, it is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that Roscommon could win, but my money is on Roscommon fans with attitudes such as yourself leaving Croke Park with tail firmly tucked between legs after yet another defeat to the green and red. the_walls (Mayo) - Posts: 495 - 25/07/2017 16:02:58 2023316 Link 1 |
And by the way, I'm not sure you understand how bookmakers work. Boyles nor any other bookie is writing Roscommon or any other team. There are lots and lots of variables that go into compiling including where the money is going. If lots and lots of money was going on Roscommon, the odds would tumble. The bookies couldn't care less who wins, they care about making the most amount of money from a market.

Mayos ability to shut down the Ross forward line is where this game will be won or lost unclegerry (Mayo) - Posts: 1222 - 25/07/2017 16:05:54 2023320 Link 1 |
Rochford surely has to be thinking of a sweeper seeing how easy teams have ran through Mayo's defence in last few weeks and also the poor form of Cafferky at full back? Personally i hope he doesnt but i expect he will

Don't be surprised to see Barry Moran at some stage on Sunday. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 25/07/2017 16:48:30 2023351 Link 0 |
Hope to god we remain competitive in this game. Hopefully mayos legs will be hurting in the last ten minutes but doubt it. I can see Aidan o shea dominating and creating two goal chances. If Conor devaney is on keegan well we are going to be treated to some battle. Can see cillian o Connor being held scoreless from play Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 513 - 25/07/2017 16:52:35 2023354 Link 0 |

Well I certainly enjoy hearing all about this fascinating "5-6 points better off in Croke Park" chat that Mayo have. Will have to get on the phone to Mystic Meg to figure that one out. But sure hey what do I know if Cillian O Connor slots over ten 13 meter frees in front of the posts why wouldnt he get man of the match, fair play to him. I would reckon the county have already booked their accommodation in September for the big one only to be let down again. Ye have a tough life I have to say OverBlackSpot (Roscommon) - Posts: 47 - 25/07/2017 17:12:07 2023364 Link 0 |

From the highlights it looked like Moran and O Connor were the fastest men to play football- remember the job Fitzsimons did COC in replay last year, I would be shocked if our lads give that much room to them lads
