Semi-finals on this weekend. Any thoughts from Roscommon, Kerry, or Derry posters on what ye think of your teams. Obviously all pretty good after winning provinical. A pity that the games aren't in Croke Park with the chance of a crowd at it LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 07/07/2021 15:13:41 2357417 Link

In fairness it is tough man on the young man )who was involved in a lot of their scores) to miss out. I would be surprised if Kerry don't beat Roscommon and should be a tighter game in Newry.

If he didn't appeal, he should. Poor decision. Good Derry team. Think that game is being streamed on tg4 youtube.

Meath team has impressed me especially defensively. They hammered Dublin by 11 points. And they kept Dublin to 0 - 7, Westmeath to 0 - 7 , laois to 1 - 6 and Offaly to 1-7. That's great defending. Kelly looks a quality full back. While Caulfield looks a huge talent at wing back. While Donnelly, McConnell, and O Donoghue are good defenders. Gray is 6f 4 or 5. Real powerhouse at midfield and Emmanuel who is minor next year is a great athlete and great prospect. Kinsella is the playmaker, a very good player. But Frayne is exceptional minor. Destroyed Offaly and Dublin. Best forward to come out of Summerhill in a long time. But Derry look a real good side. No leinster team has reached a final in 9 years since 2012. Only 2 leinster teams have won minor All Ireland since 2000. They are Dublin 2012 and laois in 2003. Only a few leinster teams have got to finals at minor since 2000. Dublin got to minor final in early 2001 and 2003 and lost both and 2011 and lost and 2012 and won. Meath got to finals in 2002 and 2012, lost both No leinster has won All Ireland minor outside Dublin since laois 17 years ago. Leinster have only won 1 minor All Ireland in 17 years. So Derry will be favourites. Kerry are the team to beat. But Roscommon look a real good team also. But with minors, you just don't know. Kingkeegan (UK) - Posts: 55 - 07/07/2021 17:29:31 2357466 Link

Thats hard to believe the poor Leinster record When you consider the huge population in Leinster Plus most of countrys economy and wealth is in the region rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 09/07/2021 12:38:02 2358008 Link

Congratulations to Derry on the win today. Battled to the end and took their chances. Pity the Kerry forward didn't take his point at the end to force extra time instead of going for goal, but those are the decisions that matter at crucial times. Even though it was a blatant instance that led to the penalty, personally, I'm not a fan of the leg block rule - especially when applied to a keeper. Them's the breaks though..... kingdom_come (Kerry) - Posts: 76 - 19/07/2021 00:04:15 2361470 Link
Great result Derry. The joy watching two lads with mops of curly wavvey hair lopey running style going up and down pitch making the game look so casual and enjoyable. Derrys steelstown player and Kerrys mop of black hair lad. IssacBall (Derry) - Posts: 51 - 19/07/2021 13:00:18 2361651 Link

Well done Derry. Congratulations! It made my Derry friends really happy. Btw, has any other father and son pair captained senior and minor winning AI teams, like Henry and Matthew Downey? I wouldn't think so! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1910 - 19/07/2021 16:01:35 2361772 Link
