Replying To S1234: "That's the Rossies for ya always getting ahead of themselves !" Nearly worse than yer selves moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1177 - 14/11/2025 08:04:31 2644388 Link
Replying To S1234: "That's the Rossies for ya always getting ahead of themselves !" No county has more medals for getting ahead of themselves than the Mayo for Sam boys in which there was a lifetime achievement award in 2021. Even with the senior team being off it at the moment but not to fall back in the hype stakes, Kobe McDonnell is now the GOAT despite him having not even made a senior appearance.

We just support our county literally the same as every other county sure. Well kobe is gone to Aussie land and we are concentrating on our own young talent coming up that are still here like Darragh Beirne and others who are up and coming young stars.

Replying To The_analyser: "How do posters see the three semi-finals going this weekend with the three Roscommon reps involved? For me Brigid's v Ballina I think Ballina will come with a plan to make it a dog fight of a game, strong set of officials will be required which wasn't there when these two sides met in 2007. Ballina are decent in midfield and lots of pace in their half back line including Callinan and curb his influence on the game and you go along way to beating them. The Bookies and punters will probably be right with Brigid's to win by 2 or 3 points Strokestown v Allen Gaels A high scoring Leitrim outfit that includes former Roscommon county player Kieran Kilcline are not to be underestimated. They are also strong in midfield an area Strokestown was poor in the county final, Strokestown know how and experience should allow them to win by 4 or 5 points St Croans v Kiltimagh Mayo champions are generally strong at Junior level. Croans will need an improvement on their quarter final display and injuries to first choice players probably won't help their cause here, hope I'm wrong but I'm thinking Kiltimagh to win by 2 points" Yea think they will target Brigids main men and try and disrupt their game. Brigids dealt well with the arm wrestle against Clann but Ballina are a better outfit. Brigids have the quality to win by a narrow 2 point margin but wouldn't be a bit surprised if this goes to extra time or if Ballina pip it. I agree with your other predications, I think it might be a bit closer between Strokestown and Allen Gaels but Strokestown who were playing in senior Connacht club only 3 years ago should have enough experience to get them past a potential banana skin. As you say Mayo teams have a great record in Connacht at junior level while Roscommon clubs have a fairly dire record. Kiltimagh will be too much for Croans I fear.
