Replying To yew_tree: "Mayo v Dublin in The Hyde confirmed." Here that's not fair, it's much nearer to Mayo :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8746 - 04/06/2024 18:48:28 2549516 Link
Replying To realdub: "Here that's not fair, it's much nearer to Mayo :D" Realdub you've obviously never gone to the Hyde from the Mayo side. You need your sandwiches & good walking shoes cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 521 - 04/06/2024 20:03:48 2549522 Link
Replying To realdub: "Here that's not fair, it's much nearer to Mayo :D" Dublin fans will be home sooner than some west and north mayo fans. It's ok though…I know geography isn't yer strong point outside of the M50 ;) yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11557 - 04/06/2024 20:36:52 2549529 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "I think they have to be at the same time if the result of either game impacts the finishing position of the other two teams playing. Some games won't affect other teams league position in the same group.Only thinking that now, no real clue." 100% correct GreenandRed: Mayo/Dublin and Armagh/Galway are guaranteed top two places so they meet to decide group winner. Cavan/Roscommon and Derry/Westmeath competing for 3rd place. Other two groups not as clear cut so both matches at the same time. Could be an interesting week end.

Replying To sourmilk93: "No you just shouldn't be allowed play your home game and "neutral" game in the same venue. It's not that hard understand why if you've half a brain" Ah now , "leave it out". Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 604 - 04/06/2024 21:19:50 2549544 Link
Replying To realdub: "Here that's not fair, it's much nearer to Mayo :D" 160.3km from Belmullet to Roscommon on some bad roads 155.2km from Dublin to Roscommon. (123.3km on motorways M4 & M6) Roscommon is the ideal location for the game. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 725 - 04/06/2024 21:25:28 2549545 Link
Replying To realdub: "Here that's not fair, it's much nearer to Mayo :D" Pearse Stadium , Longford would be about mid way but limited to 10,000 capacity. Attractive fixture will attract over twice that. Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 604 - 04/06/2024 21:30:14 2549547 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "They are a joke organisation… there is no reason this could not be announced a week ago… everyone knows the pairings… The GAA and the government are very similar…. they have the great ability to balls up everything…!!!!" No worries, we have 11 days to get to Longford . Will be a 50:50 basement battle Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 604 - 04/06/2024 21:41:37 2549549 Link

Ah lads it should be a cracker, atmosphere wise also. What does the Hyde hold? realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8746 - 04/06/2024 22:07:13 2549559 Link
Replying To Curlew66: "No worries, we have 11 days to get to Longford . Will be a 50:50 basement battle" Yes I see that now… they seemed to put up the Sunday fixtures first for some unknown reason… Roscommon will go into this as clear favourites and a draw will do to put them through…..

Replying To yew_tree: "Dublin fans will be home sooner than some west and north mayo fans. It's ok though…I know geography isn't yer strong point outside of the M50 ;)" Really unfair on Dublin, Mayo will be familiar with The Hyde after playing a number of big games in The Hyde over the years. No doubt they will get the home dressing rooms, know where the local Supermacs are and the milk in the shops will be Connacht Gold. All eyes on where the ref is from, if they've visited Westport in the past 7 years, have any political leanings toward Joe Biden or have the Saw Doctors on Spotify should be immediate disqualification for reffing this game. We will persevere. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4515 - 05/06/2024 00:38:40 2549581 Link

Ye can have the home dressing rooms in the Hyde too, they don't do Roscommon much favours tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1375 - 05/06/2024 07:46:23 2549593 Link

They will likely have Dublin flags up too like they had for us coming home losing finals against ye. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11557 - 05/06/2024 07:50:48 2549595 Link

Huge opportunity for Mayo, bring those Dubs down from the Pale and representing the whole of Connacht on home Turf. To my fellow Dubs hose big green things are called Fields and are very common the far side of Lucan, approach any animals in said fields with caution. The places were no one else is around is called, wide open space - do not be alarmed. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4515 - 05/06/2024 11:35:02 2549650 Link
