Could be worse. 11 to 1-3 for Galway.
They look so much better than us but....

Expected more from Sligo in u20 tbh.
Mayo 1-25 Sligo 1-4.
Galway 0-17 Ros 1-7.
Galway weren't great. If we put in a similar performance in the final there will be only one winner.

I see the Connacht final is fixed for Tuam next Wednesday.

Should it not be a Mayo venue since the last game between us at U21/20 level was in Tuam? Either way it's not great publicity for the grade having it on a Wednesday evening.

Not the best 2nd half performance but still won the game comfortably enough away from home. When Roscommon got it back to 3 they kicked on again which is a good sign at least that they had an extra gear or two in them. The goal was a bit freakish. Keeper lost the ball in the evening sun. Mulkerrin black carded for pulling down his marker even though he was the one in possession of the ball. Must say I've never seen that before.

We earned a bit of respectability in the second half but never in danger of winning.

Fitting that we score 5 goals against Sligo in McHale Park this week given Mick Burke's passing last weekend. We scored 5 goals against them in 1985 at McHale Park when Mick managed the team to All Ireland victory

And ye wonder why your neighbours hope ye never win Sam. Disgusting arrogance.

The game shouldn't have been in McHale anyway. The whole thing is a disgrace.

Where's the arrogance?

Indeed.

The u20 is a joke competition and they sooner they change it back to u21 under the old structure the better or drop it completely. Once again the rule about not playing u20 if you play senior discriminates against the smaller counties with limited playing panels.

Seems Waterford have about 8 players on both U20 hurlers and footballers...they play on Tuesday (hurling v Tipp in Thurles) and on Thursday (footballers v Cork in Clonakilty) next week.

Now that is unfair.

It does for sure. Did Roscommon have any u20s ruled out due to being involved with the seniors?

1 and he's injured anyway.
Something like 16 others unavailable due to exams, injury and some say the "Cake factor"

It is. What is the endgame? I know having the best teams in the finals or semi finals seems to be what it is, but regarding finals it was ever thus.

The day is not far away when a so called weaker county will withdraw from inter county championship competitions and just concentrate on their own club games which after all is the backbone of the association.
The grants they get from croke park may fall victim to this action but the foolish money spent preparing their county teams for slaughter would far exceed those grants.
When that day comes and it will come the gaa that we know and is part of our dna ceases to exist.
