These Colleges seem a protected species in GAAland.
Top brass want to get rid of U21( football only which is totally baffling) to save lads from burnout but no attempt to squeeze the unnecessary Colleges competitions.
As it stands County managers would be better organising mid week challenges than trying to field artificial teams in the January competitions.

There are a lot of talented young players waiting in the wings, so hopefully many of them will
at least get a run in the FBD

13 students on the panel means they will be playing for the untouchables instead of getting a trial run with their County
Add in 10 or 11 injuries and we'll be doing well to find 21 for each game in th'effbeedee.

What a pity the Native Americans didn't fcuk out all the illegal aliens who broke into their lands 500 years ago.

"Someone kick the fcukn ball"

No wonder the Shinners/Dupes etc didn't want Stormont to collapse recently

I'm a biteen underwhelmed at some of the names mentioned in the Ros Herald as being back on the panel.
A lot of injuries knocking around too.
So we won't be retaining our FBD title opening the door for the Rhus to get their only bit of silverware for 2016.
Relegation is very likely too but I'm hopeful of a decent Summer.

Ah Tony I thought you were a fan of the Paisleyite religious cult wing of the DUP

A point is a point whether from play or placed ball or by a forward, back or specialist free taker.
Did any team ever win an AI without an accurate free taker?

Fetherston has been part of the panel since the end of the 2014 u 21 campaign but got little or no game time.
Hopefully him and Mullooly will get tried early by Fergalkevin.
If Ward and Brogan don't make it this time around it will be the end of the County road for these 2 injury prone lads.
Corcoran, Cathal Compton and O'Rourke should be knocking on the door for starting places.

I think so anyway Shrewd.
We need major improvement in defence both personnel and strategy wise.
Too many run around tippy thappy attacking wing back types. Grand at underage and Colleges but one or two more than enough at serious adult level.
Midfield another area needing more consistency while we have decent forwards we need quicker ball up to them.
Endless hand passing in our own half has to stop.
I have great faith in our new management but implementing changes to game plans etc and searching for our best 15/21 means we may have to suffer relegation in the process.
Will be worth it if we're organised for the Championship.
Anything less than a CF appearance will mean failure unless we make a Qtr Final via the Qualifiers.
I'm hopeful but feet firmly on the ground.
Believe!! The best is yet to come.

Arra Lar will ya start actin yer age and don't mind Syfín.

Didn't Curragha bate the Longford bucks yesterday?

He's some publican who must have given Lar a pint on the house wance up a time fadó fadó.

It's probably the Stews.
Excellent post by Hardy by the way.
Pity you hadn't the number of Syrians killed so far this year.

Here's hoping for a great 2016 for Roscommon football.
Hope the hurly crowd do well too.

As for Mayowestros - may Rochford, McEntee and their busload of assistants bring them a repeat of 2010
