Cork and Mayo in a underage final - Novel pairing!

Are Cork people naturally 'chunky'?

Hard luck Monaghan defended poorly today which didn't happen in Ulster. I think Mayo will win the final.

The more economical and 'streetwise' team won. Hard luck Monaghan. I still have a feeling they will get more senior players out of this team than Cork.

Generally not a great deal between any of the 4 teams. Any combination would grace a final.

On a different note watching the referees today you would think there was 2 different types of rules. One blew everything and the other lost the pip in his whistle!

Great game. Monaghan can consider themselves very unlucky.

Cork and Mayo in a underage final - Novel pairing! 

A repeat of the 2006 All Ireland U21 final and i would expect a repeat result.

[Main Street]

In the end it was deserved by Cork.  Cork were able to exploit space in the Monaghan half  and some good approach work in front of goal.
Monaghan did well to bring the game to the wire, beaten but not bowed. All in all, 2 very good games with some great confident point scoring.

Nice to be there. Great spirit in this group and have a natural all round leader in Diarmuid.

Why are people so upset over the grade being changed to u-20?
Will the difference be noticeable even?
The grade was changed to reduce the pressure on young players who are playing for too many teams.
Don't get the outrage myself.

[Redhand Santa]

Two very good games. I only saw a glimpse of it but did the Monaghan player do a really bad dive to get the cork player a black card?

+1.
U20 will hardly be too bad or do lads only become good at 21??

O'Connor like some one mentioned earlier know how to manufacture a free. Mayo very lucky to be in the final. Dublin played well for the middle third of the game only. Nearly bottled it like all Mayo teams do eventually. Cork will have more than enough for them in the final. Being a final you can take a couple of scores away from Mayo. Because Mayo teams psychologically need to be better than they think they are to win finals. Mayo teams have already lost 3 All Ireland finals this year. They just don't have the bottle in the final hurdle. In all three finals they were seriously outclassed! I presume the final will be in Limerick?

You need to use some subtlety lad.

Sure Mayo may as well have stayed at home today according to Thy Kingdom Come
