The parade will be over for hours when the game throws in.

Parade will be over around 1.30 .It will have no affect on the match going crowd unless they drive up main street which is easily avoided.

WHAT Brian box decided to have a parade on the same day as the match, anyone know if the hyde is in any state for a match tomorrow.

Maybe you should ask, what Brain box decided to have a match on the same day as the very long-standing traditional Easter parade, which will probably be the biggest ever this year due to the 1916 centenary celebrations?

Anyway, the parade starts at noon, so it will be well over by the time the match crowd start filtering in.

And the Hyde is fine.

Impossible to know Tom, but possibly the same Brian who organises the parade every Easter Sunday!

No parade in Roscommon on the 17th. Always on at Easter.

The more u keep saying the hyde is fine the less I believe you.any fueld that has got this much rain is going to be fu1cked.
Please tell me they cut the grass or at least let the sheep in for a few days

yabadabado · 27-03-2016 10:44am

The Hyde is fine, obviously the last 24 hours of rain won't have helped but it will be as good or better than pitches we have played on already this year.

Touché.

Have to say the niggle between the two counties has added to the edge of this game. I've been looking forward to it all week.

Now remember lads if you win its because you are better, but if you don't win then it's only the league/march/Roscommon/Mayo.
I'm looking forward to a good game. I think the day that's in it will add to it.

davegrohl48 · 27-03-2016 1:12pm

In which minute will be the first chanting of "We are Ros".
Anyone know when that chant started? Late 70s with teenagers at Graveyard end in Hyde?
It's the only chant outside of Dublins "Come on you boys in blue".
Meath try "Boys in Green now and then".
Actually love that chant though "We are, we are, we are Ros".

I think you're not far off there.

Haven't heard it much in recent years to be honest though.

Chanting or ranting?

megadodge · 27-03-2016 2:01pm

It's f*cking spilling a mixture of rain and hailstones here right now. I live only a few hundred yards from the Hyde. I hope it doesn't ruin the game.

Ah give over, you should be grateful that the weather has stayed OK and that the game is still only a few hundred yards from home.

+ 1

I'm looking forward to this, more than I did our own game last night. Not too sure how to feel about that. :rolleyes:

The studied nonchalance from both sides, pretending not to care about getting the win, is funny. I'm feckin' delighted any time we beat Kerry or Meath....doesn't matter when or where !

Gonna go with a narrow Mayo win by 1-3 pts. Roscommon will stick with them for most of the game, but Mayo have enough experience and cuteness to see the game out.

Fr Tod Umptious · 27-03-2016 3:55pm

2016 and the Rossies can't even get the basics of gardening right.

That pitch is a joke.

Oh, well done on yer first score by the way, 23 mins in

Pitch is a disgrace but it suits the big, galloping, apemen of Mayo rather than the silky skilled, Cruyffian Rossies.

padd b1975 · 27-03-2016 4:21pm

Going to be a close one.

Kerry well on top in Clones.
