Rossies haven't clicked yet, theres a huge game in them
Hopefully its tomorrow they leave it on the pitch and put in the big performance I know they are capable of.
Its only the 2nd time this starting 15 will have played championship together they have come on bundles since mayo match and only glimpses of their capabilities was shown against cavan.

Tight one to call, Roscommon have been improving and are back up to Division 2, maybe this year they have a bit more than previously with their U21's and the home fixture I say Roscommon to shade a tense affair. I doubt too many Referees were sticking their hands up for this one.

roscommon are the favourites going into this game against armagh :) i remember it was a great occasion when we bet them 2 years ago but will it live upto its predictions time in 2014. and the roscommon will have to do a lot of block and be careful of jamie clarke but the roscommon are team very team good and improving everything time :) hon the lads :) i hope its a tight game and not waste of money going into see a one sided game. This be last time roscommon seniors be playing what ever happens with the re development of the hyde pitch. but i see roscommon winning hopefully by 1.16-1.13.

Niamhy94... This will be far from one-sided

Jamie Clarke is due a big game so Rossies need to be alert. I wouldn't see a lot between these teams. Last 20 mins will be interesting. McGeeney has a knack of getting his teams to play to the bitter end so again Roscommon will need to be able to deal with the pressure and maybe score on the breaks. Looking forward to this one.

I think Armagh will win this one handier than people think. Armagh by 8+.
Roscommon think they have serious firepower but Kilbride is hot and cold and he's not a lad that would like a few softeners. Murtagh is only a gosson and James Morgan could be called on and he'll wrap the silage tape around him.
I be in Carrick in Leitrim regularly and Rossies like to put it over on weaker teams but I can sense they're already indread of us before a ball is kicked. I expect Armagh to dominate around the middle and we have a better bench of subs I'd expect McVerry or Carragher would tear holes in that Roscommon defence. Time for Jamie to open up as well tomorrow.

Every days a school for this up and coming Roscommon team, I think they are better than their last 2 performances against Mayo and Cavan,
how good are Armagh? the Tyrone result looks good on paper but Tyrone played most of the game with 14 men and only managed 2 points from play in the 70 minutes+,the question is can Armagh stop the Rossies young guns and if they do by what means? Lets hope its a good sporting game of football and its the football that is being talked about tomorrow evening and not the sideshows that we have seen lately from some teams. Rossies by 2

Well having seen my county thrashd by both these teams in recent times, I can genuinely say there is little between them in my opinion. Roscommon are that bit stronger up front, super young forwards who have a very bright future ahead of them. Hoping for a Rossie win here.

Cavan made Roscommon look good!

It looked anything but good if truth be known
I have seen Ros play a lot better than they did last week all year
I would be hoping the rustiness and mistakes would be well shaken out for tomorrow for a big big performance

Roscommon have the better footballers overall and are more potent up front.Ros to win a good high scoring game by more than a few pts.

Good to see plenty of confidence from the Roscommon posters. The underdogs tag has suited us quite nicely recently.

Contrary to the Roscommon posters I don't think this will be a high scoring game at all, defense is strongest area on the pitch, with McKeever, Morgan, Mallon, Shields, Donaghy, Murray, Finn Mo and Kernan we are very well equipped in this area,

Reckon it will be a tight game, whichever team who has the stronger final 10mins will win.

Seeing that Ulster teams have been getting beaten by teams outside the province over the last few weeks I take Armagh to reverse all that and win away from home. Could well be tight but I take the Armagh defence to lay the foundation for victory

Will be a low scoring game and Roscommon are missing their main free taker and forward.
