All Ireland U21 football championship 2017

I thought he let a lot go for both teams.dublin very disciplined at the back.

[Captain Obvious]

Another All Ireland for Dublin congratulations to them. Galway so disappointing on the day and on the balance of play they can have few complaints on the margin of defeat but what if they scored that goal shortly before Dublin scored their 2nd goal.

Well done Dublin.
Better team on the day by far.
Dubs were much tighter at the back than we were.
There seemed to be oceans of space every time they attacked while the opposite was the case at the other end.
No complaints with the result.

Just never got going today. Fair play to the dubs. Extremely well organised defensively and excellent on Cluxton like kick outs from their keeper. Savage work rate too. We just couldn't move the ball easily on them.  Amazing to think the Galway goal was the first one they've conceded in the entire campaign. We should get a few good players from that group though.

Lovely pass from the Dublin midfielder in the lead up to the Dublin penalty.
Great touch for a big man.

[Dinny Breen]

The most improved county at u21 over the last 10 years. Dublin improve players in the 18-21 bracket like no other county. For those who think that Dublin have a golden generation think again they aren't going away.

Goodbye GAA.

The Dublin investment is paying off. 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2017! And to think pre-2003 they had no title  - nadda! Still there will be a denial out there that Dublin and moving away from the rest.

The amount of sloppy passes and misses from Galway today was unreal. Why was Molloy taken off? He was one of the best Galway players on display. Michael Daly was anonymous today, needed more from him and Peter Cooke if we were to have a chance today. Still, on the bright side, we have at least 3 seniors coming from that side, Sean Andy, McDaid and Molloy. Well done to the Dubs, such a pity they're getting rid of this competition.

Game was over when Molloy was taken off! And he was fecked. He covered so much ground. Today was a lesson for Galway in playing football. You play open football - you get beat!

Ah Cooke will make it as well even though he didn't have his best game today. Sean Andy was outstanding. An exhibition of full back play. Given his size and strength I'd say he shouldn't even be too far from the senior team.

Overall though it did feel like we were a small bit naive today. Dublin don't play anything like what Kerry do and feels like we didn't anticipate it. I think Kerry would have lost that game too for the same reason.

Yeah it certainly seems that way. You give quality forwards space and man to man combat and you're asking for trouble.
They set up the same way against Kerry and it worked out but i think it's hard to be successful playing open football in modern Gaelic football.

I hear a lot of people saying this.
What do you think the u-20 grade will look like?

Looks like it wouldn't have mattered how long of a break Donegal got before the semi-final. The Dubs would still have been fit for them.

Hat's off to the Dubs, much the better team on the day, deservedly the champions, as has been mentioned they were setup like a Senior team, had their homework on Galway done and played with an intensity that Galway couldn't match today.
The ht score not a reflection of the match to that point and the final 6 point margin flatters Galway, I thought we were beat all over the pitch from early on.
Sean Andy at FB the only man who played really well today for Galway, powerful performance from him in the face of adversity.
Will be disappointing for the players but there can be no complaints in the face of such a comprehensive defeat, no one in Galway will be pulling a Jack O'Connor on it I would hope!
