Will PJ survive the winter?

Yet another game that adds to the questions about his managerial skills.

He shouldn't but with the incompetence of Galway county board I won't be surprised if they keep him on for another year.

Mayo winning by a margin of 6 points is probably what I would have expected before the match. Only Dublin have beaten Mayo in Croke Park the last 8 years and I didn't see that Galway side changing that. Fitness, conditioning, pace and energy to the fore in that Mayo victory and when the game was in the melting pot Horan v Joyce on the sideline was a total mismatch.

Glancy's is NOT in Laythrum.

Edited Carrick on Shannon.

👍😀.

Cortober more correctly but Carrick will do for this forum.
Anyway that place has a large back garden and loads of tables out front.

Yes but plenty of other bars with smaller beer gardens than them haven't opted for indoor dining.

Rhubarb crumble, the Willie Joe Blog will melt tonight. Think I will pull up an armchair and enjoy the fun.

Ahh dont get too carried away , I remember ye beating us out the gate in 2014 too in under 21 . Here we are seven year later with four of that mayo team starting for the seniors in croke park tomorrow,  where are the rossies , at home  waving us on our way  as usual .

If Mayo wasn't as you say beaten out the gate maybe more than 4 of that team would be playing for Mayo seniors right now? Three of those 4 was Stephen Coen, Diarmuid O'Connor and Michael Plunkett all part the Mayo 2016 U21 and 2013 minor All Ireland winning teams.

Tickets and any amount of them still on sale .

Bohemians sell out 8k in 90mins.

I love GAA like everyone else on here but the supporter culture would sicken your hole , honestly wait till you see the demand for the semi v dubs if we did happen to win on sunday.

What price was the Bohemians tickets? Had a feeling the 35€ price would turn plenty away from the Connacht final and especially with no concession for children and OAPs.

To answer my own question.





Also they didn't sell single tickets either saying it is to ensure maximum safe capacity, while also adhering to social-distancing requirements.

TG4 and their coverage of U20 hurling and football has been fantastic.

These levels are in my mind a purer version of the games where ability overrides tactical strangling of the games which is inclined to happen at senior.

TG4 are a national treasure. Imagine no TG4? Probably left to twitter updates for these games.

Cork probably favourites now but defence may be their weak spot.

I see only 2,500 being allowed for Senior Final in Killarney.

Cork had little focus on defence last night, I'd expect that to be different for the AI series. In the term of strength, size and physicality Cork look the stand out team at U20 level this year.

Only 2,500 is daft, Kerry I believe pushed hard for a bigger attendance and were told they needed to switch to all seater stadium for a bigger crowd, they opted to stick with home advantage instead.

Hopefully the Mayo minors will fare a bit better tomorrow night and win. I must say I haven't been following the underage scene in Mayo too closely lately so I can't comment on who's good enough or not. It's an awful pity that it's one and done for whoever loses tomorrow night.

Yes it's not much of development grade for the loser tomorrow and these set of players had no U16 competitions last year either.

Roscommon team

Sean Kelly (Clann na nGael)
Daniel Casey (Boyle)
Conor Harley (Padraig Pearses)
James Brady (Tulsk)

Congrats to the Roscommon U20s. The better team for 45 minutes of that game, better quality of forwards proved the difference.

Since the introduction of the U20 grade the 4 Connacht titles has been shared between 3 counties.
