Just noticed there is no thread open on this subject. The All-Ireland Champions are playing Roscommon. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 16/07/2019 15:01:07 2211902 Link 3 |
I sincerely hope that we could keep it tight for up to the fifty minute mark and at this stage we'd need absolutely everything to be going right for us. Would be great to have this game in Tullamore or Portlaosie as I'd say we would have more fans travelling and the atmos would be great. Yeah I'd agree with a eight point win for Dublin but in their current form it could be a greater margin. Two teams that gave us a right good league game in the Hyde until Dublin pulled away. Maybe ye might rest a few and have them ready for Omagh and give the Rossies a fighting chance!!!!!!! moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1080 - 16/07/2019 15:33:21 2211917 Link 0 |
Go on then, we may as well talk about it! Cork beating Tyrone in the game before it would make it very interesting indeed though. It would give Roscommon a slim chance of qualifying even with a defeat and a small score difference. Tyrone beating Cork all but ends this group unless we can pull of the mother of all shocks.

I fear for Roscommon in this one. ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 16/07/2019 15:47:53 2211923 Link 1 |
Yes that's why there is a lack of interest. No lack of interest from me, very much looking forward to it like I always look forward to this bunch or phenomenal footballers playing with one another as this success wont last forever. A quick look at paddy power tells me we are 1/80 to win the game and the handicap is -14 .. want us to beat that and go up to omagh and have a bit if craic. My prediction for Saturday - Dublin by 16 waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 16/07/2019 15:52:12 2211928 Link 5 |
I don't think it's Gavin's philosophy to ever take a 'rest' against any opposition. He always gives them full respect.

"I always look forward to this bunch or phenomenal footballers playing with one another as this success wont last forever." Ya, it's great. And will be nice to see the Dubs in action again to. Douglas_44 (Roscommon) - Posts: 225 - 16/07/2019 16:36:06 2211948 Link 0 |
Roscommon at 20/1! That's some odds. I note Cork are at 7/2 - interesting.

I think we all just expect the Dubs to win this and I suppose that's not fair on Roscommon, there'll be more interest in the Tyrone game though. Dubs here by 9 or 10 points for me. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2757 - 16/07/2019 17:22:22 2211968 Link 0 |
Dublin to walk this easily ,10+ atleast Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 16/07/2019 17:27:06 2211971 Link 0 |
I'm looking forward to see how our full backs handle Cox and a very decent Rossie inside forward line. We underestimate at our peril. I'd really like to see Rory and Cooper get some game time but Gavin is unpredictable and will stick to his philosophy of starting those who are burning it up in training I'm sure. Dubs should take this by a fair few points but Rossies to make a battle of it. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 16/07/2019 18:37:12 2211998 Link 3 |
Jim wont underestimate, even if I am. Im not worried about Roscommon, I think Dublin will beat them. Plus.. If we do, that gives us a chance to give Cooper, Rory, Connolly, Darren Gavin, McCarthy, Lowndes etc a chance of getting game time in a dead rubber against Tyrone. No point in changing things too much for the next game. Get it won, get into the semi final, then make changes. Id go with the exact same team that started v Cork. Win it, by 1 or 15, I don't care and then have a bit of a laugh up in Omagh. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 16/07/2019 18:47:35 2212001 Link 7 |
Cox has to be the most overrated forward in the country this year , takes pot shots that come off once in a blue moon that look fantastic. Clear to see at the weekend why Kerry were OK with him leaving , if he was as good as he's being made out to be he wouldn't be pulling on primrose and blue. Some other handy forwards for Ross to be sure but won't even trouble Dublin , expecting an absolute drubbing even worse than how the cork match finished up, hope I'm wrong but can't see it.

This isn't yet another Legend fake account is it? One of the many that he uses to give himself imaginary thumbs ups.

I'm a born and bred Leitrim man for better or worse. My posting history or lack thereof doesn't really have anything to do with what I said now does it? It bothers me because of the media love in or hype or whatever you want to call it that has surrounded him at times this year when he isn't even the best forward on his team. Plenty of the Rosscommon team playing well above par this year and not getting the same attention as Cox. Highandmighty (Leitrim) - Posts: 54 - 16/07/2019 19:57:04 2212034 Link 0 |
Highandmighty (Leitrim), your post is every bit as important / acceptable as catch22 (USA or mine for that matter, we all start at Post # 1, other than that it's all down to animosity.
