Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "Not a theory. Expectations and odds are what they are."
Your "expectation" that Roscommon carry the same form line from a dead rubber league game into championship is indeed what it is.

Replying To dickie10:  "Westmeath aren't much behind Meath or Louth. Louth haven't beaten any big team in championship yet . If ever they had the chance to beat dublin it's this year . Laois Westmeath and Kildare all bet dublin when they made the breakthrough"
Aren't much behind? Meath beat Dublin, Kerry and Galway last year in the All Ireland. We couldn't beat Limerick or Wicklow last year in the Tailteann. We couldn't beat Wexford when the chips were down in the league this year barely scraped over Sligo, lost poorly to Laois. We are worlds apart.

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "Refusal to have anything to do with the State. That's what I do. Can't stop them collecting tax from wages. Other than that, minimal contact.

SF ought to have stayed out of Stormont. Ceasefire was right decision. What followed was not."
So you don't use public roads/footpaths?
Public water or sewers?
Public transport?
Won't take OAP?
Won't use public hospitals?

Replying To jobber:  "Absolutely agree challenge matches mean very little and it will tell us where we are at against an All Ireland contender. A real learning curve for our lads so lets see how we go."
Don't think this years kilkenny minor team are all Ireland contenders. Basically have had to build a new team from scratch as all of last years team were up to the age.
Great to see westmeath doing well at underage and schools level.

Does Anyone See Past Limerick Winning The Hurling All Ireland? - 1 Like(s)
"But no, our whole focus is to do better out here, get better ourselves, try and get every last per cent out of it."
"We kind of think maybe sometimes we could get a bit more help out there from our own lads,"
"Obviously, there'll be bits and pieces that are said that'd come back to you, you'd hear about them and stuff like that"
Ronan Curran Cork coach in an interview yesterday, clearly torn about whether or not Cork are focusing on themselves or obsessing about whats being said about them

And then Alan Connolly says "When we're at our best, I don't think anyone can beat us'.
So he thinks they are the best team in the country, and its just that they have not been at their best in a series of games most notably the last 2 AIs but also the League Final, the round robin last year v Limerick, the Munster final, last year (draw)?

New coaching team, underachieving squad, and out there feeding the media regularly - risky business
I am sure Tipp are happy about all of this

Yes. Be interesting to see how the under 20s get on now when meeting the other top teams, Sailed through the group.

Good Win for 20s, I like the way they are gradually building momentum. No point beating donegal or derry in blaney weeks ago. Only one time to beat those teams.

Good win for the 20s who like the seniors have been ravaged with injuries but hopefully one or two more will make it back for the semifinal

Replying To galwayford:  "Only party to nearly bankrupt Ireland was Fianna Fáil, with Fine Gael support."
You are wrong. It was the policies of the Fianna Fail and Progressive Democrat coalition government of 2002 - 2007, which was returned with an even greater majority in 2007, that planted the seeds that led to the bank guarantee of 2008 and subsequent IMF arrival in 2010. Fine Gael were not any part of government and were trenchant opponents of Fianna Fail at this time, coming into government in 2011.

It was a hiding to nothing last night. Bar Cavans win over Tyrone it's been a poor year for them. They were leading by 8 last week in second half and Down secured a Draw. It'll be same this weekend for seniors, we have nothing to fear of the current Cavan crops. Well done to Neil McAdam and team, they have really turned it around this last 2 weeks in training.

Very poor game last night to be honest thanks so much and one that we left behind us again against the weakest team we have played without any doubt. Thanks for agreeing. Only for their lucky goals we could have won but wasn't to be please. If we had full team we would have won no doubt. Thank you.

Replying To Albundy19:  "Were you in Aughrim recently on a big match day and were you there when the dubs came last year? ,the village and grounds were packed out. Great occasion deserves to be organised properly."
I can only imagine what it will be like, the pubs will be heaving. Good to see the Dubs out of Croke Park for a change.

Well done to the u20s after a great contest against a big powerful Cavan team. Young Doherty was great, Max Maguire a class apart.

Well from what I see on Roscommon forums, they don't rate Andy Moran as a manager and don't rate many of the Mayo players..

Replying To yew_tree:  "Very impressive win for the u20s over Galway tonight. 3-16 to 1-12. Kobe with 2-3. Anyone at the game ?"
Mayo very Clinical, Galway very sloppy in possession and some awful poor misses in the second half. Mayo number 5 was outstanding. Wind had a big effect in the first half, Mayo had a brilliant defensive set up and nullified Galway two point opportunities.

Replying To Walter_White:  "Hello to my fellow Carlow Gaels..I'm a Louth man travelling down to Carlow for our game with Wexford this Sunday and was looking for stand tickets but none for sale at present, just terrace..is this the norm or should stand tickets become available for sale later in the week? Thanks in advance"
Would the stand be sold out ... I don't know .. is priority given to season ticket holders ?
The stand had 2000 seats I think
I always prefer watching games in DCP from the opposite terrace just under or to side of the press box .
The score board end is a good view Lzo if you go towards back of terrace
So if it's a fine day and you don't mind standing I would go for terrace
Best of luck to Louth. Should be a good game .. enjoy

Replying To MayoDan:  "Plenty of mayo fans nervous about this game and most Roscommon fans will fancy their chances of a win.

Definitely won't be a big upset if Roscommon win."
"Most Roscommon fans" enough of the exaggeration Dan!
