All Ireland U20 2019

[Blowitupref]

FT Dublin 2-14 Galway 1-10. Dublin good value for that win, got off to a great start and were very impressive at how they closed out that game.

[GaillimhIarthair]

Regardless of the great start for the Dubs, 1-10 wont win you too many games. 
Thoroughly deserved win for Dublin.

Has anyone the link to get TG4.ie in Tyrone. i keep getting message that its not available.Thanks.

I got the same in Down. More partitionism. Hard to fathom as I got the minor game before it

Hard luck to the U-20's. Dublin had a marked physical advantage around the middle of the field. Especially with their two midfielders who were huge men. Then the two early goals were a killer even though they did well to battle back from 7 down to draw level at one stage. Think it left them with nothing the tank though towards the end. Archer is fairly handy alright. He's often not in the game at all for long spells but when he sniffs a goal chance he's lethal.

[From the Bunker]

Well done Dublin. Your volunteers have really upped their game the last 15 years (or is it 16 now?).

[galwayman]

Dublin full value for the win. Our lads only really played for 15 mins - essentially the third quarter of the game and that was it.
I did suspect that this team wasn't as good as some were making them out to be.
This particular group doesn't have too many stand out players.

Joyce taking a lad off after 6 mins was way harsh. Ridiculous to be honest.

Not a great Dublin team, but some strong players. The lad who got man of the match was clearly a lovely lad (judging by the interview) but IMO he won't play senior for the Dubs. His midfield partner probably will. The bould Blaithin Ni Chofaigh's son.

Archer's a class act, as is one of the other corner forwards. Although not sure either have the outright pace that the current Dubs have. Half backs handy enough. Half forwards are more runners than footballers, and I didn't fancy them as future seniors. But silly to judge just on one game.

Archer played soccer for a lot of his youth, so never had the benefit of a GDO. Didn't start with the Dublin minors. Not that any of the other lads got any GDO benefit anyway, given the GDOs aren't let near the elite players.

[An Fhairche Abu]

Galway ate alive at midfield, won't win too many matches taking that into account along with the terrible start.

Don't go near the third teams! Or any other adult teams.

You really are clueless as to what they do.

Of course there are the odd exception, but the vast majority of GDOs would not be in the top 10 in terms of ranking of coaches at a club. They look after the toddlers and aren't involved in any teams.

The GDOs are young people who by and large have no experience of coaching , but who have gone through the GAA training to get their qualifications to get this low paid job.  They get a 'teach by numbers' guide from the GAA and they follow that to teach the babies and to give parents coaching drills that they can use for the teams the parents train. You'll find a direct correlation between successful underage teams who have managers who played at a decent adult level, and didn't go near a GDO for a train the trainer type course.

The weaker you are as a young player, the more likely you are to have direct interaction with a GDO.

Just got the Firestick set up, can't wait now to see the Sean Og and God Og combo for Tyrone

Stramgely our minor and now u17s are far less successful. U17s didnt even win Leinster and will go another year without an All Ireland. Maybe counites should look athe dublin template to see how they can produce 2 footed footballers and successful u20/u21 teams despite not being successful at minor level.

What channel is this on lads?
