U21 is trundicated for a very good reason, those players are under intense demands at senior, U21, club and college level. More games at U21 county is not a good thing, particularly with the mad-cap schedule the GAA runs to from Jan-April.

What the friggin hell does that word mean or do you mean , truncated ?
In Syferworld anything can mean whatever his little brainín wants it to especially if he picks a scatter of letters and jumbles them up.
Unfortunately you'd need the Enigma codebreakers talents to decipher/translate his guff. :-[

We're going to bring home the SAM

Ballycroy and Rosfan, united as one? Figures.

Cavan u21s got off to a great start today beating Offaly 1.14 to 0.8 in the Hastings cup. Away to Mayo next week.

Syferus

We cantered past Clare 2-19 to 1-07. Kildare will be a must better test.

Rossfan

Didn't get there Syfín, - work interfering - Who played,played well etc or does the one sidedness of the game make it largely irrelevant?

Was shooting practice with little or no pressure put on our fellas. Anywho Harney,Murtagh,Featherstone and Conor Daly stood out & Mickey Gunning had a good cameo in the 2nd half.  2-19 this time of year is a good score regardless of the opposition.

Mayo beat Longford by 8 points. Cavan v Mayo next Sunday. Anyone know the time and venue for that game?

Is that on grass or astro in bekan?
They have both you may even get the pitch with the slope.

The Westmeath v Kildare match today was moved onto an astro turf pitch. Both teams reportedly very unhappy with it.
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

Itchy

I think teams would feel they would pick up injuries and also they are warming up for games that are going to be played on grass. Is there a stand or anything at that place.

Would a mud slide of a pitch be any safer or less likely to cause injury? Doubt it was moved to an astro turf pitch for the craic so that sounds a tad cry-babyish.

Fairly impressive performance by Mayo today, Adam Gallagher was outstanding, I'm not sure how much longer you can wait before you bring him into senior set up. I don't think Longford were as bad as the score suggests , they just didn't have the same quality as Mayo up front and we got a penalty for a foot block to start the ball rolling.

On a sidenote I'd like to ask a question about the black card, today was my first time to see it .

Longford attacker gets dispossessed , Mayo begin the counter attack at speed , Longford player who is now obviously behind the play , screams at the ref, ref blows and shows the black card and then restarts play with a throw in.

I'm baffled at this,surely the play should continue and then go back to show the black card? It's like a contradiction of the reasoning for the black card rule, sure a player could get play stopped cynically by taking the black card but stopping an attack ,,which could be further up the field than today's incident.

Is this the rule or did the ref get it wrong? Should the play of continued and black card given after play comes to a halt?
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .
