All Ireland U21 Championship 2012

[Onlooker]

Overall Roscommon have the best defensive record thus far.

All the neutrals support will be with them.

Roscommon's to lose.

Best of luck To Tipp. Sure the rest fo the country wants them to win anyway. We're just going for the day out.

Pressure on Tipp really.

Tipp's to lose.

Déjà vu?

Great spot ross4life.  The important thing is that even though Indiana pretended to think that "it was Tipp's to lose", that did not happen.  Dublin had their day out all right but the All Ireland went to Tipp.  That was such a great day for all of us Tipperary fans that it would be great if Roscommon had a similar experience in O'Connor Park.  The big guns like Dublin, Kerry and Cork have more than enough great days and the weaker counties deserve their day in the sun as well.

It's not a weak vs. strong thing, Roscommon have the exact same amount of u21 AIs as Dublin and 7 provincials to their 10, if we're speaking traditionally this is a dead heat. Under-age is a completely different ball-game to senior.

I've never seen a hype-train based completely on the form-book of one team, but that's exactly what's happened with Dublin. Their a good team with good results, but our performances over many years at under-age makes it pretty clear this is going to be a very tight encounter.

Good luck to the Blackheads Ros today.

[Denn Forever]

Looking forward to this.

Imperative Dublin win this game tomorrow ...............................hopefully the kilkenny lad makes a move onto the senior lads for the summer too........................

Makes a better hurler and should be some battle to see which one he prefers. Usually the lads will pick the one they believe will get them most medals. Wouldn't have been my guide though, so I hope he picks the hurling

What you get and what you deserve are two different things.

if Roscommon do win its hard to imagine their players having any less dignity then tipp's did last september. In fact i'd be sure of it!

May the best team win and if Ros win I'll be the first to congratulate them.

 Good luck to the rossies today. Threw a sneaky tenner on you at the crazy odds paddy power were giving and I think I've a good chance of seeing a return.

[RedandGreenSniper]

Best of luck to Ros. Having seen them beat Mayo comfortably, they definitely can spring a surprise here. It's tailor made for an ambush. But Rossies might struggle at midfield. Hope Shine can step up to the mark there. Big game needed from him. Really looking forward to this.

Ros have started well here and Dubs have had a few wild efforts. Ros need to heed the lessons from the dublin v Cork game though and take their chances when on top.

[Jinxy]

Hudson having a stormer.

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

Hudson having a stormer.

He is destroying that big no.3..it was obviously a mismatch from 5 mins in, don't think they've switched him yet?!
Dubs really in control now.

[Jinxy]

If I was Jim Gavin I'd take off the no. 9.
He's on a yellow and he looks like the sort of lad who could easily get another one.
Stick one of the big wing-forwards in the middle.

What's with the full stops?

[Jinxy]

Lovely goal by Hudson.
Some great flick-ups on the run in this game.
Great score in response from the Rossies.

[ross4life]

Poor goal given away by us we should be at least level at ht
