Broken collar bone apparently.

Monaghan are a lot better than what we have seen so far. A few tweaks here and there could make a game of it.

He's a bit of a lightweight, would need to add a bit of muscle to the skin and bone.

Darragh Doherty having some game how many points now?

Captain Obvious · August 25, 2013, 02:24:10 PM

Poor goalkeeping thats the game as good as over now.

straightred · August 25, 2013, 02:24:54 PM

Game over now. Monaghan needed to improve not collapse. McCarthy the corner forward looks a class act

Thats a great Mayo team in fairness, Monaghan going to get tanked at this rate.

thought kepper got something on it first

Captain Obvious · August 25, 2013, 02:51:43 PM

As one sided All Ireland minor semi final as you are ever likely to see.

Syferus · August 25, 2013, 02:54:59 PM

Massive gulf between the teams. Hopefully a repeat next weekend and an All-Connacht final becomes a reality.

Enjoy being ret hot favourites, lads!

You could even reasonably argue that they're only the third best team in Connacht. We had a previous game to help us get over the line against a hugely fancied Galway and we were very lucky to beat Roscommon in the Connacht final by hitting them for three goals at the start of both halves.

Think I said it a few weeks ago that maybe 3 of the best 4 minor teams in the country this year were in Connacht. Mayo beat Galway after extra-time but had Galway edged that game I think they would have made the All-Ireland final. And obviously Roscommon get their chance next weekend.

The goal glut didn't happen for Monaghan today, that probably contributed to a false positive to the winning margin for Mayo.
But those Mayo kids can play a bit and probably deserved it.

Some performance by Mayo they simply blew the Ulster champions away. First time that Mayo seniors,Minors have reached the AI final in the same year?

Good question, I have a recollection of the minors playing Laois on final day in 96 or 97, but could've been a semi (I was generally on a drinking session weekend in those days).
