Poor game although Willie Hegarty on Shannonside Radio makes it sound like an all Ireland final. "And he has just kicked a wonderful fisted point". Rossies must wonder why no-one has come to see them in their first game of the year in Croke Park. No harm to give the bus a run out anyway.

Re the Roscommon support , they are a disgrace to that team . I mean where are they, they're in the pubs in ballagh, Boyle and frenchpark talkin about how they're going to bate Mayo.
larryin we all know your not the brightest spark in kilmovee but when your on stolensheep as ballycroy try to remember to shuffle your above sentence about a small bit

Wouldn't have seen that troll post if you didn't quote it. Well played mjg  ;D

As for the game a deserved win for us the margin of win probably should have been more. Down can't be happy with their performance on the day but like ourselves they have div one football next season and playing better teams should bring further improvement for both.

Great to see Roscommon win another national title in Croke park and no more than our hard working players and management deserve.

Well done Tyrone a well drilled side who came through a tough Ulster championship. Accomplished performance led from the first minute till last & kept us at arms length throughout, defensively Tyrone were superb were as solid as a unit as i have seen at this grade.

From our own point of view apart from Murtagh none of our key players performed to any where near their ability simply put our lads didn't do themselves justice on the day. Corcoran still rusty after a long injury lay off,Harney not right with the shoulder injury he is carrying & Smith could do with a month break. Defensively we were so loose giving away scores without even putting a hand on the Tyrone shooters. This is common theme whatever the level we play at.

Also well done to Tipp like Tyrone they held the a much talked about forward line to just 0-12 and simply put thats why the May 2nd final will be Tipp v Tyrone.

I will humbly take that as a compliment larryin. As i will give in future posts to heros if proved incorrect in my analysis,statistics,inside knowledge and instinct. Its not a surprize rossies will rise to top.its all in place.now the plan is being executed. Revolution hasnt begun in our beautiful game,Rossies are doing in on the pitch,we have the most sexiest,coolest jersey in intercounty and we have a stunning bus (cost effective of course) we have club rossie CR.best set up in gaa bar maybe tyrone in fairness.top it off with naturally gifted mannerly squad of players and management.long live the Rossie Revolution.

You're either very young or you're taking the piss.
He's one of ye're own on the wind. I've long since blocked him.

I'm not sure about that anymore. He seems to know too much about Roscommon to be from Mayo. I don't think he's larryin89 either.
This Mayo troll knows plenty because he is obsessed with everything Roscommon. He's been long since found out and blocked by anyone with any sense.

What's the U21 club scene like in Roscommon (or elsewhere)?

Its a bit of of a shambles in Dublin. And Dublin club football would generally be well run at most levels (at least in comparsion to most counties I'd say - still plenty that could be done better of course), but U21s is bottom of the pile in terms of priorities.

This year it clashed with league playoffs across most divisions and minor championships. So some clubs didnt even enter, a heap had to concede because they couldn't field due to fixture clashes, and U21 championships were won with teams playing 1 or 2 games. You also had the comical situation of a lad who is a starter on the Dublin U21 team playing for the U21 2nd team of his club in the Dublin U21 C championship!

3 division competition with semi finals played from October to December, very stop start with the weather so poor the final was played after Christmas one year. This October will be our last U21 club championship as it will become U20 & plans are to play at spring time.

To a point it's helped as much as underage can help you but you're kidding youself if you think if u21 was abolished that it still can't happen. if anything it would ensure counties would identify talent a lot earlier and in the long run would level standards across the board
I said underage teams meaning all the way down to development. For example we won the Ted Webb (Connacht U16 competition) 5 years ago & around 12 of those players are now on this years U21 panel.

Quote from: INDIANA on April 13, 2015, 11:17:55 PM

Players don't develop at 22/23 anymore bar the odd exception because their inter county careers will be over by 28 in a few years time. 5-7 years from now you won't see players playing inter county beyond 30/31 due to work and family.
Certain players continue to develop at different rates & inter county careers will only be over by 28 if those players are troubled with injury & probably think enough is enough. Others will feel its better to retire early from county to prolong their club careers.

Combining the two grades is taking a sledgehammer to a problem that needs a surgeon's scalpel. It remains the dumbest, most unambitious proposal that keeps popping up.

The u-21 grade being abolished must be the stuff of nightmares for you Syf.

It would lead to rotten football.

It might actually make you justify your existence at senior level. Some counties live their lives through their underage teams.

And then they grow up................
We wouldn't have risen from div 4 2011 to div 1 2016 without our underage teams and Tipp seniors thanks to underage teams should rise within the next few years also.

INDIANA you use to have a lot of time for Roscommon for whatever reason that has now changed.

Again where is this excess praise you talk of? I haven't seen any.
Ah Stop.. he will be posting from his other so called ros supporter account now  :D


As for the topic of the thread.

We have gone from too green according to McGee to now rotten by O Rourke. 

Maybe he was referring to our performances against Laois and Galway though i doubt he attended those games. O Rourke also referred to the live games on TV he watched even though none of our 7 games were covered not even highlights. As been said already ourselves & Down were the top scorers in div 2, 17 points per game scored & i think a few on this forum will be happy to see attacking play rewarded and unlike Meath we didn't focus more on holding teams to low scores 0-11,0-11,0-13,0-10,0-12 in 5 of their games.

Colm O Rourke was fine footballer & i had the pleasure to see him play on many occasions but as pundit he is a poor one.

Very enjoyable Manchester derby only disappointment is to concede 2 goals from 3 city shots on target & to lose Carrick to injury late on.

If it wasn't for the slow start to the season & loads of injuries United could be challenging for the title right now ah well... i suppose getting back into the top 4 was the priority after a woeful season last year so well on course for that right now. LVG record against the top 7 sides speaks for itself.

To get back to the U 21 Championship..,......
I suppose Dublin will bate Tipp  handy enough while us and the Tys  could go either way.
Should be a good crowd in Markypark while Tullamore will be virtually deserted.

Let's call a spade a spade all the pressure is on Roscommon to win the u21 this year. You're under exactly the same pressure we were last year and it's not as easy as it looks
Spade? you are certainly digging for a reaction now  :D

Pressure which is mostly for tyres was on us in the Connacht final last Saturday, away to Galway having not beaten them at this level since 1999 & have never in our history won back to back Connacht U21 titles

Since 2010 the team that beat us (Galway twice Dublin three times) has won that All Ireland so if Tyrone win next Saturday it might be worth putting a few euro on them.

P.S hard luck to CBS today a good effort against a fine side. Those looking in from the outside probably don't realise how far CBS have come. Last year CBS were Connacht B level & were knocked out in the 1st round well beaten. Their management took the brave decision to compete at A level. The improvement is all down to solid defensive system & they won their first Connacht A title since 1998 & reached their first ever Hogan cup final.

Lads when was the term blanket defence first used in football? i was watching back on the 98 Galway documentary a year til Sunday tonight & John O'Mahony mentioned breaking down the Kildare blanket defence in his pre match talk.

You're giving it away now. Ever hear of jumping the shark?
Ya our popularity is so high that even a Mayo man continues to post as rossie on here even though he was found out ages ago.  :D

Quote from: Syferus on April 08, 2015, 04:56:23 PM
1. St. Nathys won the Hogan Cup in 1957 and in 1959 got to the final so Roscommon CBS are not the first Ros school bidding to win it.

2. It was four years ago that we journeyed through Division 4, not five.

3. Surprised Keys mentioned Willie without saying he's the co-manager of Roscommon CBS.

Besides that..  good work.

He mixed up Niall Carty and David Keenan also.

From the 21 players used to beat Westmeath on Sunday only Niall Carty, Seanie McDermott, Cathal Cregg and Senan Kilbride have established themselves independently of those four teams.



Best of luck to Roscommon CBS on Saturday.

2003 Division  wasn't the same as there were 16 teams in D 1 in 2 Sections.
I think I read on stolensheep it was 1992 ??
Ross4life might tell us as he seems to have a lot of facts.
From what i recall it was Div 1A and Div 1B but Div 1B was more like div 2. Only difference was the top two in each group fared off against each other in the semi final e.g if same happened this year it would have been.

Cork v Down
Dublin v Roscommon.
-----------------------

Big congrats to all our players and management no more than a hard working and talented Roscommon senior panel deserve. We were unlucky when we relegated from div 1 2003 on 6 points its been a long and hard road back so hopefully we can hold our own in the top division next year.

Great Easter weekend for the rossies, Connacht U21 title retained and now we return to div one. Took us a while to find our radar today the well taken goals in the 2nd half settled any nerves we may have had. Collins,C Shine especially in the 2nd half displayed great leadership & credit to the 3 U21s after last nights energy sapping encounter who all play a big part in todays comfortable win.

Thanks Mayo lads & we will need all the luck we can get later today against our neighbours in Mullingar. On another note Lar,Moy maybe you two established posters could have a quiet word with your fellow Mayo man Gibbs32 to cut out the shite.
