ROSCOMMON v DUBLIN U-21 FINAL

[Syferus]

After last night's win for the Seniors in Croke Park, all our attention turns to next Saturday and the U-21 Final. Hope Rossies everywhere will get the flags and colours up for these lads. Will be interesting to see the team selection later in the week. As long as they're fit, we'll surely see Fintan Kelly and Conor Daly return.

We badly need Kelly and Daly back as the HB line was awful the last day  ( Cue Syfín telling us about how great they are).
Maybe the less colours/flags/hype the better(except in Ballagh of course ) and let the lads get on with preparing quietly and diligently for the task in hand.
Hope Nigel's electioneering activities won't get in the way.

Nigel is so focused on the U21s he hasn't erected a single election poster in An Caislean Riabhach.

Looks like there will be a very big crowd from Roscommon at this match. Nearly every second person i've met this week is planning to be in Tullamore on Saturday. If there aren't any negative defensive systems in force, this game could have the makings of a high scoring shootout..Roscommon need a victory more than Dublin.

It will be uphill all the way for the young Dubs on Saturday. Hopefully they can take inspiration from the devastating performance of the seniors last weekend and sneak it by a point or two. Come on you boys in blue.

Good luck to the young Rossies in this one. I'm sure the vast majority of Mayo fans want ye to do the job on Saturday.

That's not a great message.

The amount of crap the Mayo lads had to deal with about how much the county needed an All Ireland last September was unreal. Now it might not have hurt them if they were shielded from it all, but it certainly wouldnt have helped them.

In early rounds, maybe, but you don't win an All Ireland final because you "want it/need it" more. Lads playing All Ireland finals are going to be giving everything they have - even more added pressure doesnt help.

Six of the Ros u-21's are also on the Senior panel, with 4 of them regular starters on the senior team. Last weekend, John Evans suggested that after this weekend is over, he was going to invite a few more of the U-21's on to the senior panel. I'd imagine that midfielder Thomas Corcoran would be one of those.

Best wishes to Shane Carthy. Some things are actually more important than football and this is one of them.
