What did Down beat us by last year? 5-19 was 34 points. Did we score 14 in total? I can't remember.

offaly 2-10 Down 5-19 (29pts)

Offaly 2-10 (16) Down 5-19 (34)

34 - 16 = 18 pts.

Where is this 29 coming from?

Jees Ross4life, you gotta wipe last weekend from the memory, no point look back lad or bringing up others who suffer similiar results. Keep your head up, look forward to club season and even qualifiers.

I'm not sure about that. Roscommon didn't win the connacht u21 championship this year which indicates they probably had 4/5 senior inter county players of the required standard off that minor team. They'd need another one at least to get truely competitive. Preferably at u21 level.

Well if you where at the under 21 final this year i'm sure you know how close the rossies where to winning (Mayo got a goal in 4 mins of injuring time to take it into extra time)

I accept that but the dublin u21 hurling side last season were expected to compete for the all-ireland last year following their minor success and it never happened. We still got 4/5 terrific players off that team- buts thats as well as you'll do off any minor team. Expecting to get 10 players off one team as Roscommon are doing is expecting too much.

well our under age success has been good for 4/5 yrs now so more than just 2006! but when you have such a small panel to pick from then theres not much choice other than picking them?

our experience players are our main problem  no leaders & simply not good enough!

Well, you would expect Ross fans to say it didn't happen - I'm only telling you what happened to me, maybe other Mayo fans got away and didn't experience it, but there's enough of us that did to make it more than some bulls**t story.

Same for me .... will never forget the antics of the Rossies immediately after that goal and the whole after match stuff. From being slapped on the head by half a dozen or so buffs immediately on the full time whistle (for the crime of shouting for my team durign the match) to the night ending in Athlone with one of our company get a slap in a nightclub for having the neck to wear a Mayo jersey in the midst of all the supporting Rossies.
So sorry, but can never beat them often enough and can never beat them by enough. My only regret from yesterday was that we did not win by more than 20 as the previous record winning margin in the previous 50 previous championship meetings was also 20 points when Mayo won in 1929 by 6-6 to 0-4  ....... at least 3-18 was the biggest score by either team in the previous meetings.

every county has knackers (mayo included) just because you where unlucky to run into a few bad eggs you think all rossies are like this? cop yer self on man!!! as for athlone nightlife well there's not a night someone gets slapped there!!

[roscommon and not to relying on the 06 team]

Its a collective blame, and all sides need to look at themselves.

Ive been totally unconvinced by this myth that because ros won the minor in 06 they will be strong, but there not even close imo, they beat Leitrim who were down to the 4th choice free taker and only scrapped a win.  Ros at senior are poor and have been last few yrs simple, the older players arent leaders and thats the problem especially on the field. There in serious danger of wasting the underage talent coming through.

hmm i think i told ya already? but this is coming from a sligo fan that witnessed Mayo 3-11 Sligo (defending conn champs) 0-7 just last year!!!

it's easy to kick someone when their down no myth i still have great faith remember there only still 20 i would be more worried about sligo with no underage success & no players coming through

If you think thats a kicking when your down you are sadly mistaken. That is a 100% fair post and is in no way an attempt to kick ye when yere down. WTF are having a go at me for . Maybe its the emotional reaction of yday so I'll let you off and when you read it back you might see sense.

maybe i selected the wrong Quote but i was purely make a comment to the many Comments you had about us & forgetting same thing Could happen to Sligo

well best of luck next week!

hope to see ye in Hyde park on July 19th

Man I know how ya feel trust me on that, just its probably a time for reflection in roscommon and not to relying on the 06 team to come through is what im getting at, just way too much pressure on those lads to reignite the seniors and i feel maybe its not a certainty to happen, also I am well aware of whats ahead of us next week, but nothings impossible and I always take the optimistic route before games.

Fair point but you must Remember it's not just 2006!  we got to the last three connaught minor final's & were very unlucky not to win them all & same goes at u21 last five years 4 finals we got so close last two years!! & i have not mentioned the huge talent of under 16s & schools coming through. and underage success is vital to small footballing counties like Leitrim, Sligo & Roscommon

my point is we didn't have a foundation before & Rome wasn't builted in a day (here's hoping we will come good in 3/4 yrs time)
