Delighted, great to have that group win together and go on.

The little book of excuses will be out tonight.

Delighted!! Hard to see it happening after first half.
The Rossies will be rightly sickened

2 very close games today. It's a great level of competition.

Jeremiah O

It'll be Tyrone's fault that Roscommon lost.
Unconquered and unconquerable

Syferus

Gutted. Carr putting the ball into the square happened in front of me, him and Daly were battling for a ball that came in and it was go if over the sideline but Carr scooped it up. If Daly even just got a tip on the ball and sent it over the sideline it was it was unlikely that Mayo would have got the goal. The roll of a ball was the difference between victory and defeat.

Good luck to Mayo in the AI series.

Ah could be worse it's only u21, I suppose choking in senior all Ireland's is a lot harder to take

At least my old nemisis Pats of Maghera lost today

If you were any use you'd be playing.

Should have been played at the Hyde.

None of the Breaffy lads can swim that well so would have been too big an advantage for the Rossies!!

Cunny Funt

A game Roscommon lost more than Mayo won. Irwin's struggled to make an impact on the game until his Mullooly was black carded and Mayo only broke even in midfield after Compton went off injured.

Gutted - goals win games. Better team I thought but Dublin expect to win whereas our lads hope to win and abdicated responsibility  when scores were there for the taking.

Still they died with their boots on. One thing I learned today is that the true Dub fan is a minority. Unless played at home in Croke Park Dublin are poorly supported. Would be nice to be so complacent.

These lads are not a typical Mayo team and have always bucked the trends

I say that as a Mayoman. Their win at minor was based on efficiency in front of goals and even with many of that forward line missing they still seem to have that trait along with a will to win that got them over the line today

Full round of Juvenile and Senior games on today along with the Hurlers playing Limerick.

There is no bandwagon like a Kildare bandwagon and expecting to win today would've brought a few along - they skulk back with the best of them when it suits.

With the two favourites in Kildare & Ros now gone, it's pot luck with Dublin v Mayo.

Dublin underage teams never get much of a support. Doubt most of them knew game was on. And Kerry are and have been clear favourites for this competition. They dont seem to know that either.
