All Ireland U21 football championship 2017

[Cunny Funt]

Syferus like a minor rash is annoyance pity there is no cream to get rid of that yoke 

[Rossfan]

Never happier to see Galway run up the score.

Your Rhubarb love thrown overboard as you jump on a new bandwagon.

So much for the bookies. Galway have 5 or 6 class players.

What odds were Galway to win today?

[Gael85]

Flying start set the tone for Galway. Well done to Dublin and Galway two big underdogs coming into today's semi finals but both had their homework done and fully deserved their victories. It's shocks like that makes underage football so great pity the shock results are less likely at senior level nowadays.

First Galway v Dublin U21 final since 2002 I believe.

Since 2002 Galway and Dublin have won 4 u21 All irelands each.

During the week Kerry were 7/1 on. I think Galway were 3/1.
Sligo would have beaten Cork.

Sligo would have beaten Kerry based on what we saw today.

From a Galway perspective and looking to the future we should get a good few seniors from this bunch. Daly has already made an impact at senior level. Cooke and McDaid look to have big futures. Thought Séan Andy Ó'Ceallaigh had a powerful game at full-back. Big, strong and athletic. Cein Darcy in midfield as well wasn't far behind Cooke. Rob Finnerty too although the poor lad had a shocker today. Molloy has a chance of making it too once he has a haircut.

Did Galway have many players from last years minor team playing today?

Kerry thought all they had to do was tog out. So did Kildare about 20 years ago. And Meath a few years after.

All the talk of Kerry dominating at this grade. The Golden generation and what not! Crazy expectation to be put on a bunch of players at such an early stage of their development.

The Mad thing is Dublin's recent dominance at underage has been dismissed, while Kerry's couple of Minor titles out of no where have been seen as a pre-requisite to future success.

The denial of where Dublin football is at is Scary! This is no fad of temporary dominance.

D'Arcy (9), Conneely (15) & Finnerty (13) D'Arcy was outstanding again, made a huge difference when he came on against Sligo kicking 3 points from play. Along with Cooke makes for Galway having a very strong midfield.

Was Connelly centre forward on that minor team?

Yes I know and you can make it 5 v 4 in U21 All Irelands won now. What they won previously didn't count much for their U21 teams this year though. Tyrone and Mayo won the last two All Irelands at this grade even though both went a good number of years without winning a province title.

Galway were 11/2 before the game when did a semi finalists win at those long odds before?

You probably would have got long odds on Tipperary to beat Dublin in 2015. I cant see us winning too many u21 titles even at Leinster for next few years. This group won Leinster at minor in 2014 however we were very poor at minor the last 2 years.

[BluestackBoy]

No complaints at all about today's defeat, we were outclassed everywhere & Dublin fully deserved their win.

5 games in 17 days may well have caught up with our lads in the end as they looked very lethargic & sluggish & Donegal's style of play demands high levels of energy otherwise it doesn't work & it didn't work today.

Fair dues as well to Galway in beating well fancied Kerry. I'd say there were good odds to be had on that double!!
