Brilliant performance tonight, we were far better than cork who after Vaughan were very limited. I wasn't overly optimistic tonight given all the players we are missing but got  brilliant performances throughout. I don't think we have anywhere near enough for Dublin,  tonight we only used two subs one was for an injury, weak enough bench. That's for another day though, let's just celebrate this tonight. To the person who named 3 players as "the " best at under 21, trust me Stephen o brien and Colin o riordan are up there with as good as you'll see, Colin under 21 again next year
They were saying pretty much the same on their prospects against Cork all week,best not to be driven by media opinion but drive it by your own success.Wonderful win for The Premier and I dare say there`ll be an extra bit o swagger with the tipp boys and girls round town this weekend,aris abu.

With a strong interest in underage and colleges football I have seen quite a few of these lads progressing in all 4 provinces. I would place Dublin as odds on favs followed by Tipperary and Roscommon with Tyrone as the weakest of the 4

I was saying that but I also believed it, I thought cork were better than they actually were. I presume Dublin had scouts down and will have a game plan to deal with our influential players. Last night we made two subs, 1 through injury, I think that shows that we haven't really the depth. We'll travel to tullamore in hope rather than expectation but it will be a massive shock if we pull off a win

Dublin didn't look overly convincing in the Leinster Final. Their full forward line is exceptional but they can't do anything without the ball. Kildare just didn't have the strength at midfield to get on top for long enough.
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

Tipp will utterly dominate Dublin at midfield if the Dubs are weak there. Tipp probably have the best U21 midfield in Ireland, possibly by a long way. Tipp's problem could be getting enough scores from their possession as the Dubs have a good backline and the forwards to make good use of their possession.

Could be a venue change for tyrone v ros game.

Eh, the guts of that team won the AI minor in 2011. Biteen of Kerrying there I think.
Some of the Dublin players anyway will be still sore after that minor defeat and won't lack for motivation.

Will be close.

Really looking forward to seeing this Roscommon team in flesh on TG4 . Have gone into joint favourites now I see so must have some amount of money wagered on them.

Cunningham,Carthy are a good midfield pairing for Dublin I'm not sure about their defence though as they have leaked alot of scores against Laois,Longford and Kildare.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Zulu

Although they have conceded a fair bit I think they've a good few defenders that will challenge for a senior spot in the years to come so I don't think they're a weak link. Cathy is certainly a fine footballer, potentially a great one. I'm not really familiar with Cunningham but O'Brien and Riordan are exceptional midfielders and Dublin will do well to challenge that pair.

Isn't there something only six 2011 panelists available to Tipp this year? This U21 team is the guts of the team team that followed the AI winners. They won their year's Munster minor title too. If they can beat Cork they can beat Dublin.

Maybe they can . If we turn up in good form I doubt they will beat us. I wasn't expecting Cork to beat us either . Dublin were AI minor champions in 2012 at this grades players

Still think the team that lost to Tipp were a better Dublin minor team. The 2012 team was mainly Costello taking games by the scruff of the neck. Not unlike like that year's minor hurling team, actually. And ye did get gimmes in the Leinster and AI finals, Lord knows how Mayo bungled their AISF against Meath but they managed to anyways. We played the Kerry team off the field in our AIQF but couldn't shoot for shite and they put up little resistant to that Dublin team in the AISF too.

Clearly the panel has developed in the intervening years, though.
