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.

I hear a lot of people saying this.
What do you think the u-20 grade will look like?
It will look like a diluted competition in comparison to the U21 grade. The best U20s won't be allowed to play if on the their senior panel. The U20 grade played in the middle of summer instead of February to April if games ends in draws we'll have the nonsense of 45s to decide them.

GaillimhIarthair

Well done to the Dubs, thoroughly dominant and deserved win - the score line flattered us in the end. 

Mayo Border

Well done Dublin. Great win. Excellent running game bit like your seniors. Could have got a couple more goals. But well done Galway also. You made this game competitive. 4 points down in second half and hit the post. Dublin snuffed out the Galway threats, competed well in midfield and were clinical with those tap in goals. Game played in good spirits.  No Philly or Dermo carry on. What a goal from McDaid. Galway have some serious prospects coming through. How about Sean Andy at full back.

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.
Reape scored in Tuam.

Apologies, misread!
Commiserations Galway.

Fair play to the Dubs. If that Galway shot had gone in the result might have been different.
The main thing from a Galway pov is adding a few class players to the panel.

Under 21 was good for Mayo as well. A long sequence of losing all Ireland finals was broken in this grade.

Maybe he was referring to the 06 AIF. It's a pity that's the last u21 game. Well done to the Dubs.

2006 was the first time Mayo won an all Ireland since the minor win in 1985

The Mayo record in Under 21 was quite good.

Any reason why the final wasn't in croker?
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

armaghniac

The U21 final is never in Croke Park. In an case do Dublin teams not get enough home games as it js?
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Overall, Mayo have a better record than Galway at both minor and Under 21

Galway v Cavan final in 2011 was played in Croke park. This years final was never to be played in Croke park though.

My nephew (a dub) was asking after the semis would the final be in croke park - I said no, there wouldn't be enough of a crowd for Croker; he said "oh right, parnell park so?"  ;D
