    4-10 to 1-8.

    11 point win for Roscommon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭ColeTrain


    U-21's well beaten. Roscommon better in every department, physically and technically. They took a big support too, definitely outnumbered the Mayo contingent, fair play to them but they're a hard bunch to listen to when winning :D

    Only positives to take is that it was a young Mayo team who will learn from that and there will be a few who will definitely make the step up to senior.

    Very poorly selected team No way to look past it Midfield should have been Adam Gallagher and Anthony Jordan as the runner. Jordan won more ball than both midfielders, coming on with the game already gone. Darragh Ruane should have started or at least come on and pick up Murtagh. He was the only defender with the size, speed n aggression to be able to limit him
    The game was 14 scores to 9 Alot of those scores self inflicted with how we setup. The County U21 A champions Moy Davitts featured just one appearance off the bench tonight. They had a simple tactic all year get goals at one end n prevent them at the other Ruane was no 1 in that regard He held Evan Regan scoreless which is rarely done at club level Didnt make the first 8 defenders tonight!! Kept on the bench

    Very poor display from us, lacklustre and idea less, a lot of blame on the side. Felt sorry for P Prendergast as he was clearly out of his dept, putting him and Diarmuid, are they both 18?, into the middle there was a big gamble and didn't work out.
    Our no 2 had a nightmare and can't believe he stayed on the pitch.

    O'Shea was ur stand out player. outside of that it was a learning experience for the young lads.

    Rossies will be eat alive by the Dubs if they get to meet them. Big strong team but we caused all them goals ourselves.
    Our record is poor at U21 for the last few years, so a review is certainly needed if we are to compete, that said I can't say we can be disappointed with a minor AI and our seniors have back to back AI appearances. I'd give up U21 success for progression in them 2 competitions.

    Cracking evening for football.

    Yep.

    Listened to it on the radio, but from what I could make out, what little gameplan they had came unstuck when Roscommon cranked it up a notch.

    I suppose it's always a hazard with very young and inexperienced players.

    Was really expecting something to happen at this level this year, but they just can't seem to get it together.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,530 ✭✭✭davegrohl48


    Tonight was an alarm call to modernise at this level or get left behind. Solve at least one problem to start with. We were bossed physically by Roscommon. In the modern game speed n power is crucial. I don't see how some of the minors could be physically at this level Some of those young players would be eaten by the physicality of u21s in Cavan Cork Dublin n as we seen tonight Roscommon All Mayos players are all on the correct strength programs but they wont be ready for another year minimum some of them. U21 should be packed with 21/20/19 year olds in that order


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,286 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    Yes a lovely evening for a game of football,we were soundly beaten in all departments,full back line was all at sea.Struggled to win any ball around the middle until Conor O Shea moved out there.He was our outstanding player tonight,serious potential.
    Evan Regan and Adam Gallagher had disappointing outings,the inside line were very ineffective.
    That Roscommon team has a serious potential to compete at the later stages of the All Ireland series,extremely fit,slick in movement and physically strong.Huge contingent of Roscommon people in McHale park tonight.


  • Registered Users Posts: 486 ✭✭FarmerBrowne


    Lads, hard luck but ye are putting too much emphasis on the fact some of yere lads are only out of minor, we had the fullback, a midfielder and Murtagh corner forward (who destroyed ye) minor last year, but for injury the center half forward who would have stared was minor last year, 6 of our minors from last year finished that match this evening

    We weren't 'ate alive' by The Best U21 Team Ever in the 2012 AI U21 final and but for a few subs we could have held out the final eight minutes when we had the lead. That team contained more key players (the remaining ones just so happen to be exact same ones that played in 2012) than this year's Dublin panel and that doesn't even account for Ciaran Kilkenny's injury. This Roscommon team is better than the one that contested that match.

    If we get that far I'd have no worries about being devoured by Dublin or anyone else. Always amazed by the blind hype that surrounds Dublin.

    Oh, and you conceded goals because you weren't good enough to mark our well-signposted FFs, one of them half-fit. Those players have been doing that at every grade all the way up and at senior too. Also, one of our midfielders is 18, the other 19. Very little difference in age or experience.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭manofwisdom


    Yop as established poster on here and moderator that is very unusual comment for you to make. To lose at home by 11 points to a clearly better side yet you think Dublin will eat the rossies alive? Dublin lost to Longford at home last year and if they do win Leinster they will do well to defeat the Ulster champions Tyrone or Cavan IMO.

    Galway,Tipp etc also very strong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Disappointing to lose like that but unfortunately a couple of leaner years at minor before last year were a pointer to this result, the 2011 minors were well beaten by Ros as well. In 2006 we won an under 21 All Ireland with a lot of the previous year's minors but the difference between then and now was that they added to an under 21 team with plenty of quality in it already, the likes of Cafferkey, Cuniffe and Seamus O'Shea were able to combine with slightly older lads like Higgins, Conroy and Boyle to win it - this year the minors were asked to take on too much in their first year at under 21 because we didn't have enough quality in the previous two years age groups to play alongside them.

    We should be a lot stronger at this level in 2015 and 2016. In the mean time we will need to deal with the reality that, other than one or two like Gallagher and Regan, there will be a gap of a couple of years before the next burst of talent breaks into the senior team. Since our senior panel could in no way be classed as old this shouldn't be a huge problem.

    Ros continue to impress at underage level and given Galway's ongoing malaise they should be able to deliver on that promise and become our main provincial rivals at senior level for the next few years.

    Same applies to the Rossies in fairness, last nights win was greeted as if it was an AI final win, and we know the hype that surrounded the Rossie minor team last year, that ended well.
    Also remember the Rossies beat us in the FBD and we only need to look on here at the hype after that, how did that end against Leitrim?

    We conceded because we didn't defend, it won't be that easy again.

    I'm not a moderator on here so thats irrelevant. I saw the Dubs game last week and I am comparing what I saw last week versus tonight, Dublins pace and clinical finishing if replicated will ate the Rossies.

    If we had turned up, which we didn't, there wouldn't have been anywhere near that score, we have 4 wides one after the other, would have brought it to 5 points, as I said they won't face a team who don't defend and will be more clinical.
    I don't know about Tipp, Galway or Tyrone as I haven't seen them, I'm sure they will turn up, I saw Dublin and I am just relaying what I saw.

    You do know the Dubs bet Carlow by more at U21 level last year before going out to Longford right?

    If you are using the previous year as a marker for this year especially at U21 level then enough said.

    I love how the sheep stealers travel in big numbers when they are confident of a win. I happened to be sitting behind a good few of the senior panel and heard them comment on the very vocal support of the rossie crowd, quiet a few wondered would they be as vocal come June in the Hyde. Looking forward to repaying them in spades on their home turf if they manage to clear the sheep off it in time.
    Slagging aside, that's a decent rossie side and will take beating.

    Its also enough said if you judge a side on how they fared against Carlow. I can tell you Dublin won't lose to Longford this year as Longford aren't a patch on their team last year. Cavan,Tyrone,Galway,Tipp,Dublin,Roscommon are the strongest U21 sides this year.

    I do hope they give us a good hard match, as we need a bit of a challenge on the way to HQ :D

    Not how they fared, its how they performed, distinct difference. If you were at the match then I take your opinion on board.

    So if Longford aren't a patch on what they were, then what you said about last year is obviously contradicting what you said.

    I can't comment on Cavan, Tyrone, Galway and Tipp as I haven't seen them and prefer not to draw conclusions until I do.

    Ah it will be same from them, probably basing it on their glorious FBD win and last night and writing us off.
    It was done 2 years ago and we know how that went ;)

    We were delighted to win but like the team on the field we know we have bigger fish to fry than Mayo in a prelim game.

    This game was a key game but not the target for the year. This is the fourth time in a row we've been Mayo at the grade, we've moved past celebrating beating ye as anything more than a stepping stone.

    What you typed above was faintly ridiculous sour grapes, Yop. Take yer beating like we have had to on plenty of occasions.

    If ye're writing off Cork who went to Kerry last night and scored 0-18 without their marquee forward then your making a huge mistake. Munster final should be Cork v Tipp in Cork and that should count in Cork's favour as well.

    Honestly, I take it you were at the match, standing ovation at 1/2 time, beating the galvanise during the 2nd half.... slight over celebration.

    As for taking a beaten, now horseen, when the AI favorites Roscommon minors were beaten by Tyrone there wasn't a beep out of you, I definitely dont go into hiding when we get beaten ;)

    Dublin 4-29 Carlow 0-2 was the scoreline last year i'd say they performed fairly well that night also. The first challenge they faced they were found wanted. Longford had the pick of 2010 Leinster minor team and had won the Hastings cup against Cavan. Only a few of that side are still underage this year.

    It's well known how good Cavan are at this level Tipp are starting 11 of their 2011 minor All Ireland winning team and Galway have most of last years U-21s still underage

    Ros supporters always do that. We gave the lads a clap after losing a tight one against a Tyrone team no one thought we'd get near last year too.

    Absolutely no indication of it being 'like winning the AI' to us. Any supporter that wouldn't clap their young lads off the field after a half like that isn't much of a supporter in my book.

    Mighty stuff form the u21 s last night, serious quality of young fellas in ros at the moment, is their any county what has better coming through. Murtagh looks like a star. I think we out numbered the mayos 2 to 1, great support, any time we beat the mayos feels like weve won the all ireland specially when we beat them there, the future looks bright

    Apart from the opening 10 mins Mayo were out thought,bullied, individually and collectively outclassed had no answer for superior Roscommon outfit. The final margin was 11 points however another two goal chances were missed & over ten wides were kicked mostly in the 2nd half when Ros had eased off.

    A night to forget quickly for Mayo, Well done to Roscommon however i still think Galway with home advantage will be a match for them.

    Well you said that Roscommon fans didn't react like it was an AI ;) I am just highlighting the point ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 449 ✭✭SeanJ09


    Keane looked very frustrated the last day and conceded some silly fouls, he hasn't had a good year so far but it's early days and there's still plenty of time for him to improve, we need as many options in the back as possible, especially if Horan is going to keep up this experimenting with Higgins. Varley is another man that looks a bit flakey so far but the talent is there

    Seems to show just the odd flashes of brilliance ( Varley).Scored a wonderful point against Kerry recently, looked very sharp overall.

    He's inconsistent at the best of times but he's capable of getting some great scores. Impact sub will be what he's used for.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 915 ✭✭✭homewardbound11


    Mayo supporter first but I'd be equally delighted for any Connaught team winning an al. Was delighted when the rossies won the minor in 2006 over a fancied Kerry outfit. I just don't see the problem.
    Best team won by a long shot last night and had to take a good deal of flack today from a Roscommon native living in mayo. Soak it up boys.

    Agreed, I think it could define a lot of our year, weird as it sounds.
    A win is required Sunday and at home regardless of who it is, you should be winning. Cork are form team along with the Dubs so it should be a good solid challenge.
    As long as JH stops dicking around with the positions and plays Higgins and Boyle where they should I think we have a good solid chance.
    I fear what Kevin O'Neill will do to Kevin Keane though.

    Should be a big crowd.
