Jarlath literally not knowing his left from his right.

Anyone else find Burns awful hard to listen to?

Tyrone captain mentioned Colton and Kerr being with them on this journey, is Colton heading off to play soccer too?

Definitely should have fisted it over, v difficult for 17 year olds to have that clarity of thought in those circumstances though

That's not true, Mulgrew has been one of the standout players on the pitch.
The one that gave the ball away? They've been poor all year. Was Donaghy that gave it away for the goal too. Very lucky to win in the end I thought

Sorry, missed the bit where you updated the definition of "visible" to "commits no errors at all".

Hasn't realised it was Diarmuid Martin who got the winner. Couldn't write it. Congrats Tyrone.

Was it just my eyes or were the Tyrone boys much bigger?

They did a nice job upping the intensity and making that comeback. Kerry has had no luck against Tyrone this year. Will it carry over to next weekend?

Tyrone would have been sick had they not won that, took a long time to get going then when they did made a mess of some huge goal chances as well as bad wides. Have to give them great credit though, still found a way and showed huge character to seize control in closing quarter when a few points down and against the wind. Mulgrew a huge influence.

Commiserations to Kerry. Some fine young players who we'll see again in the years ahead.

James Mulgrew is literally 1 of the Best minor footballers I've ever seen. He was incredible, can't believe he wasn't Man of the Match. Skill hanging out of him for a midfielder

Tyrone missed Kerr MASSIVELY yet somehow won (despite AWFUL shot selection and wides).

Kerry fella should've handpassed the point and went to extra time there

Really hogs the mic. Give the young lad the cup.

Tyrone were lucky today for sure but the u-20s were miles and miles in front of Kerry.

Did an under 16 game recently and the fullforward scored his first 5 points by fisting the ball over the bar, it was very effective and some lads were a bit perplexed as he was doing it but it worked well, it's difficult way to stop it..

This manager needs to sit down in a dark room for a while

gallsman · July 06, 2025, 03:10:05 PM

Bigger and stronger looking I thought too, not that it made all that much difference on the pitch.

Incredibly emotional interview with Kerry manager Wayne Quillinan. He's obviously and understandably completely devastated for his lads.

Quote from: gallsman on July 06, 2025, 02:57:43 PMTerrific interview here with Donnelly.

Here he's a great fella altogether. Fair play to him managing to bring that talent through and winning

gallsman · July 06, 2025, 03:14:26 PM

I thought Jarlath's speech today was grand btw. Has to acknowledge both teams, especially after a final as tight as that. People may disagree with him plenty, but as an orator there haven't been many like him in the Association's history.

Agreed, some of the speeches have been fantastic. Mentioning the counties and showing genuine knowledge etc.

After a few though people started thinking he was enjoying it too much, it was the Jarleth Show, he'd eat himself etc

But there hasn't been an Orator like him, that's fair.

Captain Obvious · July 06, 2025, 03:17:56 PM

Very emotional stuff by the Kerry manager, clearly a very tough defeat to take especially the manner of it. When four points ahead with 12 minutes to play with the wind advantage they must have thought the win for there for them. Then took the lead again on 60 minutes after the set back with the Tyrone scored penalty. Am I right in saying the match winning score from Diarmuid Martin is the lad that replaced Joel Kerr in the starting team today?
