2016 All Ireland U-21 football championship

Fine game thus far.

[Throw ball]

The last couple of hours have been outstanding. Some entertainment.

And this is the grade they scrapped!

[Rossfan]

Fine game thus far.

Better to watch and better standard than 1st game.

[Main Street]

Monaghan probably the better team but they can't handle the size of the two Cork lads in the full forward line and the high ball is causing consternation in their full back line. Have they any big mullockers they could bring on to mark them?

If there was  a  height limit
u21 and u192cm  Monaghan would have this game wrapped up.

I thought there was a bit of doubt about that alleged black card mauling by the cork goalie. The Monaghan player looked to have slipped on the turn.

[From the Bunker]

Yeah, great entertaining football. Disgrace that Provincial Finals were not televised live when you see painful games like the League semi finals are!

Fine game thus far.

Better to watch and better standard than 1st game.

Yes, far better standard of scores and direct play.

The last couple of hours have been outstanding. Some entertainment.

And this is the grade they scrapped!

A joke that Paraic Duffy got his way to scrap this grade 

[Jinxy]

Are Cork people naturally 'chunky'?

[Crete Boom]

McCarthy is quality. Great score.

[From the Bunker]

Cork keeping Monaghan at arms length! Monaghan need a goal!

[Rudi]

Great game, u21 is high quality stuff, daft beyond words to scrap it.

[Syferus]

Who were the delegates who voted for the scraping actually representing? It sounds like there's almost no support at grassroots for the change.

[Rudi]

Some quality scores from play for Cork.

[twohands!!!]

Cork keeping Monaghan at arms length! Monaghan need a goal!

Pretty much everytime Monaghan got a point in the 2nd half Cork have responded with a point immediately.

[Mayo4Sam]

The keeper scuffed the kick out at the end a the ref hopped the ball. Anybody know what the free was for? Did it travel 13 metres

It didn't, Dublin lad had to step inside the 13m line to pick it up and it was a straight kick

[Il Bomber Destro]

Some very good players on this Monaghan team - McCarthy, McGinn, McAnespie, Ward and the no. 6 being the standouts.

But unfortunately, much like senior level, they just lack those big guys who can win primary possession - without those type of players they'll hit a ceiling which won't really bring them past provincial level.
