Replying To The_analyser: "If that little rant made you happy then knock yourself out.
A bit of credit to Roscommon wouldn't go a miss, would have got long odds for our Seniors to win by 10 points last Sunday and last night our U20s were 7/2 to win.
Your Seniors are still well capable of bouncing back in the All-Ireland series and whiie your high fancied U20 team are now out I have no doubt you'll see plenty of that group going on to be established Seniors in the years ahead which is the real success of underage football.
@ Yew Tree, Mayo in crisis is nonsense." It's not a rant. Mayo get absolutely slaughtered on here but tend to bounce back and beat Roscommon further down the line. Roscommon have class players and forwards if they are let play. No rant here but I've read all the same stuff before. I was on here when Mayo were beat by Ros under Davy Burke. It's like groundhog day.
Mayo are judged differently because they have made finals and never got over the line. Whereas other teams who have done nothing in Croke Park seem to get a free pass. That's my overall point.

Replying To Tiger1: "Well we still have one more senior all ireland than Galway and we didnt win them by getting into a semi final every year without having to beat anyone.Amazing how your titles have stopped comming now that you have to qualify like the rest of us so dont look down on Wexford until you at least win something." Usually the wexford lads get stuck into us on the forum when they beat us. Different approach this year i see and we havent played yet. Risky game that

Major blow loosing Luke, wish him a speedy recovery. But we have to stay positive, taking out Luke's scores we scored 3-23 against Longford and 4-12 against Meath so we have plenty of scoring power in the team. I know the overall loss is massive as a leader etc but we cannot go to Tullamore with the attitude its over because Luke is out. Hopefully Whitaker will be ok...

Replying To foreveryoung: "What old qualifier system? Oh, the one where Leitrim won loads and loads of matches and ended up in numerous finals! That one.... RIGHT!" Don't take the bait. There are a lot of contributions of late that are designed to provoke. If you met them in person you'd at least have the option of walking away.

It was hard to believe our lack of intensity and belief . I really hope along with the management team he can help us deliver a completely different performance next Saturday

Replying To TheFlaker: "Lads we've been down this road before time and time again with Roscommon teams. There's always a massive over reaction when Mayo lose. Half the people in the country are waiting for them to lose so they can pile on. Now all of a sudden Roscommon are the bees knees. As they were under Davy Burke 3 years ago and as they were under McStay around 2017. They haven't won a championship game in Croke Park since 1980. Let's see where they when they hit Croker." If that little rant made you happy then knock yourself out.
A bit of credit to Roscommon wouldn't go a miss, would have got long odds for our Seniors to win by 10 points last Sunday and last night our U20s were 7/2 to win.

Replying To BarneyGrant: "I don't think anyone can fault their spirit. They have never given up in any game. They are just not good.
Will probably go down on Saturday as it is first time for a long time that a Dublin football team is in one of those Al Pacino moments where they are facing existential life or death on the pitch!
Expect there will be a big crowd and hope they can come out the right side of what could be one of the games of the year." At least all that nonsense about splitting Dublin into 2, 3 or 4 has gone away now Barney !

Why isnt Barry Mchugh getting a look in at all with the seniors? Especially with Daly back into the fray. They work immcaculately together for the club with Dalys and also the likes of O Conghaile's kickpassing ability and Mchughs sheer class when it comes to point scoring I dont see how a team could deal with a full forward line of Mchugh finnerty and Mcdonnacha. We have a set of forwards capable of winning an all Ireland. All about picking the right team

Can we all just agree to stop engaging with the WUM's on this forum? They'll get bored soon when they are only talking among themselves and their multiple accounts.
I think we had about 3 wins in 20 games in the qualifiers, they didn't work for div 4 counties

Replying To yew_tree: "Thanks to the Galway lads for pointing out the obvious. It's open season now on Mayo football and we just have to suck it up. Another bad defeat, loads of mistakes and the depressing thing about it, Kobe again by far our best player is moving to Oz in a few weeks.
Mayo football is in crisis make no mistake about it." Your under 20s were beat by the kick of a ball after extra time, hardly a crisis.
Maybe relax a little bit.

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Some real talent on that Monaghan team too." There is but there's no guarantees any more than 2-3 of them will feature prominently at senior level in years to come and well be lucky to get that amount. If you look at the last monaghan u20 side to reach an ulster final while a lot of them have got runs in the senior team or being around the squad over the last few years and notably this year hardly any of them became regulars in the team. Sean Jones was the main man in that final for Monaghan he left the panel last year having never really making any impact in a number of years on it.

Replying To MayoDan: "Mayo have won plenty of close games in recent years too, such as last year's U20 Connacht final, you're just choosing to ignore those.
Mayo beat Roscommon narrowly a few weeks ago but it's always difficult to beat the same team again in quick succession." Swings and roundabouts lad. We kicked away a final years ago to Mayo played in Markiewicz Park and Mayo went on to win the All Ireland. That was a super final last night. Thrilling entertainment albeit it was punctuated with bizarre play, coughing up possession, schoolboy errors but hey that added to the drama. It was good old cut and thrust with no where to hide. No cynical play or rough stuff. Roscommon won it narrowly in the end but Mayo all credit due made it a fantastic spectacle. The goal before half time for Roscommon put doubts in yer heads and made it a manageable task at half time. Plenty of talent in Mayo. Great advertisement of football in the West that match.

An absolutely engrossing game from start to finish. I was delighted Roscommon won even more so because of the manner of our defeat last year in this fixture with that disallowed goal. We can sit back and relax tonight and watch Kerry v Cork to see our semi final opponents. These are such exciting times for Roscommon football. It's just great to see it. Full credit to all who work on the ground developing gaelic games in our county.

There is generally one common denominator, Addiction. People who rack up that many convictions just dont care anymore. By that I mean that their need out weighs the risk to their liberty.
I would need to see the official statistics and data, is that information widely available to support what you are saying?
Contrary to what you seem to think there is a maximum sentence to each crime or offence so " locking them up for life" isnt an option and never will be for shop lifting or possession. Most people with over 100 convictions have them for minor crimes.
20 years isn't life, a nice hefty sentence would remove such hassle from society for a long time. We are too soft on crime.
If they were serious criminals they would have over 100 as they would be locked up for much longer periods throughout their life. Of course there are always exceptions but when you see over 100 convictions think serious addiction and/or mental health issues. Its normally on the money.

At which point does stealing vehicles, assault shop managers who challenge you for parking in their door way or robbing/Vulnerable elderly people become serious?

Replying To yew_tree: "The Flaker - In fairness it will be 30 years this summer since Mayo lost to Meath after a replay. Mayo have been in what….10 All Ireland finals in those 30 years (not including replays) so we've been in 1/3 of all football finals without winning a single one.
It's a remarkable and depressing record from our point of view so naturally Mayo teams are judged fairly or unfairly by those standards (competing at the business end and getting to finals).
Roscommon aren't judged the same as Mayo and why would they?" I have you arguing this point and another poster saying this group should not be judged by these standards. Sums up this place.

Replying To bláthach: "Yes they were the weakest team we played, thank you so much, As evidenced by the closesness of the score please as you could see if you were at the games this year which you eveidently were not.
On that particular evening they were weak so your point is what??
By the way I think you have posted under the wrong username as before this you were making fun of Roscommon please and now you are suddenly doing a full 180 degree turn so I think you have made a little boo boo there thank you.
By the way mentioning the under twenty championship I must say congrats to Roscommon on winning it thank you. I did not get to the game last night as I was cleaning the septic tank (long story thank you) but I believe it wa a super game of football and the best team won. I would never have predicted that after watching us in The Hyde Pitch where I really thought we were two poor teams thank you for agreeing." You should be pleased that your U20s was competitive against the eventual Connacht champions.
True worth of any underage team is seen n knock out football and Roscommon beat Galway and Mayo In consecutive weeks. The final group game in Hyde Park was knock out for Leitrim and you had to win by 7 points or more. With all Leitrims best players featuring you never looked close to achieving that and the margin was 5 points until the last action of the match a Leitrim goal. Roscommon had no Kilcline in that game, the big 6ft 6 fella that made a major impact against Galway last week and again last night against Mayo.
