I used to love the minor championship when it was U18 and the All Ireland Final was before the senior final. I feel like it's not the same spectacle since it went to U17, I know it's only one year but you can nearly see in the build of the lads that they have a lot of development still to do. I could be over stating it but I feel as though the correlation between a good U18 making it into the senior county team is far greater than what you would currently have in U17.
Should be a decent game in Tuam tonight. A repeat of last year's Connacht final (Mayo won) and All Ireland final (Galway won) group game this year was won by one point by Galway deep into injury time.
A number of good quality footballers on display. For Galway Vincent Gill, Ross Coen, Shay McGlinchey, Charlie Cox, Seán Walsh and Mayo Rio Mortimer, Dara Nearly, Tommy Lydon, Darragh Beirne and Josh Carey.
15 minutes played in the Connacht final. Galway 0-3 Mayo 0-2. Took Mayo 13 minutes to score. Half time Galway 0-8 Mayo 0-7.
45 minutes played Galway 0-10 Mayo 2-10, 1st goal from a penalty, 2nd goal a fine low finish on 45 mins. FT Galway 1-10 Mayo 2-13
Shay McGlinchey is a grandson of Dominic and Mary McGlinchey.
Boyler will have enjoyed that. Two corner forwards brilliant- Byrne and Guilfoyle
Not a bad game this.
Strong 2nd half performance by Mayo, the two goals in a five mins proved the difference. Probably the best set of forwards Mayo have had on minor team since 2013. Galway cause not helped with Sean Walsh going off injured and didn't get as much impact off the bench as Mayo.
Great Ulster Final on TG4 here
what a mistake by the derry keeper. Extra time. Both keepers have been brilliant too
Brutal finish. Derry coaches must not watch MacRory games. Bit of deja vu about that.

Monaghan were trying to get a goal far too soon. They had loads of time to get the 2 points. They got lucky
Brilliant game, with everything.
Derry are carrying a black card time out for about 8/9 minutes into ET.
Ger Dillon (Derry) has converted place kicks from all positions up to 45m out.
Cast iron penalty not given there.

Impossible to see on the tv coverage if it was cast iron or not.
I suppose at least Monaghan have had a bit of practice at the penalties. Tough way to lose a final for a young lad though
G what a bunch of teenage w**ks behind the goal
Super penalty to win it for Derry.
All round it was a great final, no shame for Derry to have to win it on a penalty shoot out :)
Monaghan have made up a lot of ground since their hammering last time out v Derry.
Derry minors missed all 5 of their penalties that they were awarded this year.

Harsh at all levels in inter county football however it's cruel on teens though at least Monaghan are still in the All Ireland competition
The referee kept Monaghan in that game. Some shockers
Martin O'Neill still talks about the penalty he missed for the minors in the 1970 All Ireland semi final.
I find it hard to get interested in minor football especially now that they are only 16 and 17. I think the very small attendance shows that some people feel the same.

Be interesting to see how many of these players, from bith sides, have a prolonged inter-county career at senior level.
Out of the, say 40 lads, it could be very minimal.

Was thinking the same post game and I'd say possibly 2 from Derry and maybe 4-5 from Monaghan. Monaghan looked to have the bigger more athletic players whereas Derry were better footballers.

Jesus wept. The paranoia in derry transfers from the seniors to the minors i see. Is this the same ref that disallowed what looked like a perfect Monaghan goal early in the 2nd half?
Maybe if there's a ref among so we could clear that up. The forward was clearly outside the line when the keeper kicked the kickout. The forward gained possession inside the line so the ball didn't travel the full 13m. What's the rule here, does the ball need to travel 13m before a player from either team can touch it?

The ball has to travel over the D line before it csn be touched.
Had a derry plsyer infringed it would hsve bern a ball up.
But since it was a monaghan player who committed the error , derry were given a free out. Seems fair to me.
I dont buy into the ref punishing Derry. But am of the opinion Derry were far to soft in the tackle looking for frees and feigning injury.
But they were the better team and really didnt know when to close the game out.
Why the goalie didn't just get the ball as far away from goal in his last kiickout is beyond me. Poor direction from the sideline i imagine.

this is not correct.
The forward MUST start outside the D when the ball is kicked, BUT is allowed to go into the D to collect the ball. It does not have to travel 13 metres before a forward touches the ball.

It's always hard to know how many will make the grade at senior - injuries, work, travel, just pure interest in doing it, and a manager that rates them are all variables. From what I seen of the Monaghan minor team, McGinnity, Finn, Mooney, Carolan and Mallen all look to have significant ability and have the potential to be senior inter county players. 5 prospects making the grade would be an excellent return from this minor team. Meehan and McKenna are underage next year and look decent too.

David Gough thinks otherwise. What hope have we if we cant get agreement on the rules. My own view is that it should have stood. The keeper made the mistake - these are the risks you take with a short kick out. I don't think we can say it affected the result though - there was plenty of time left. The Derry keeper had an up and down day. His mistake caused extra time too. However he then went on to win the shoot out for them and he had a few good saves in the game.
Good point about the injuries. Derry #12 was the biggest culprit
I have seen Derry being penalised this year because the derry player entered the D to pick up the ball . It resultrd in a throw up.
I believe this is the correct interpretation of the rule.

if its a derry kick out, then yes.
The ball must travel 13metres before being touched by a player on the same team.
It doesn't have to travel 13 metres before being touched by an opponent, as long as the opponent was more than 13 metres away (i.e. outside the D for a kickout) when the ball was kicked.

This is the rule as per the current rule book.
QuoteIf the goalkeeper is not taking the kick-out, he shall stay in the small rectangle, and all other players, except the player taking the kick-out, shall be outside the 20m line, outside the semicircular arc and 13m from the ball until it has been kicked.
The ball shall travel not less than 13m and outside the 20m line before being played by another player of the defending team.

So an attacking player may run into the D and intercept theball while the defender must not attempt to prevent that happening.

David Gough (who should know) said that only the defender couldn't touch it so I'm inclined to believe him.

David Cough must be wrong then ::)
It makes sense once the opponent is 13m prior to kick. What would happen if the keeper miskicked it and it travels inside the D and stops? Of course the attacker can play ball and defender can't, otherwise the play would freeze or the keeper would get off with it. Same as if a free taker kicks a free short, once the opponent the distance away before the free taken, he can then move after the ball is struck.

Technically, the gk can kick it a second time !
Who am i to argue with David Gough?
But if he is right the rule is stupid.
Derryman, of course he is right.
Why is a stupid rule?
Think about it if the rule stated that the ball must travel 13m before being touched by anyone else.
Goalie kicks the ball, it travels 10metres. The goalie sits on his arse for 20minutes and says no-one can touch the ball until it travels 13metres.
Perfect way to protect a lead! 😃
This is one occasion where the ladies rules are better than the men's. As long as you're 13m away when it's kicked you can take possession of the ball on any restart of play.
Quite ironic seeing Monaghan complaining about a refereeing decision when the clips of the calls that went their way in the semi final are all over the internet. Bit of what goes around comes around springs to mind me thinks

Galway have kicked it over the sideline about 5 or 6 times..poor performance. Much better from Derry today. Felt they underperformed in ulster final
FT Derry 1-13 Galway 0-4. Very routine win for the Ulster, young tribesmen won't be happy with that display looked fairly toothless with Sean Walsh.
Derry hammered Galway in Carrick. I hope it's not an omen for next week

Only kids so can't be too critical but realistically that's one of the worst ever displays by football team representing Galway, they didn't show up at all.

Sure it's minor, doesn't really matter, very hard on them to have such a non performance.
Good start for Mayo, not the best of defending by Monaghan on that goal. 10 mins played Mayo 1-2 Monaghan 0-2
Mayo defense throwing this game away
Edit-Mayo forwards throwing this game away
Monaghan have taken over since the 10th minute. Just 2 points for Mayo since then and 1-7 to Monaghan. HT Mayo 1-4 Monaghan 1-9
It kind of stood out since start of championship Mayo were a little light and small ,Rio Mortimer looks like a lad who might come through .
There's a bit of a wind out there, favouring Monaghan in the 2nd half.
Not sure who decided that last Mayo point was a score, umpire hadn't a clue!
45 minutes played Monaghan still in control and leading 1-12 to 1-6.
Monaghan Mayo an enjoyable game.
Monaghan number 6 is a super player.
Looks like the standard in Connacht this year was poor.
Any idea who plays who in Semi Final? Would Derry and Monaghan (assuming they hold on) need separated?

Mayo and Galway not of the standard of the Ulster finalists anyway. What I've seen of Monaghan and Derry today and in the last few games it won't be a surprise if one of them go on to win this All Ireland.

Mallon (6) was the standout player. Think he got 3 points form play and god knows how many other scores he was involved in. He's one to watch
There has been some discussion of venues of late, but on what planet is Kilkenny a good neutral venue for Kerry v Kildare minors?
The minor game wasn't going to get a huge crowd, a good club ground actually somewhere in Tipperary would be sufficed. Perhaps the TV coverage wanted this venue?
Monaghan and Derry very impressive. Semi finals are Derry v Dublin and Monaghan v Kerry, wouldn't rule Ulster All Ireland final.

I saw somewhere that Kerry objected - can hardly blame them given the relative distances involved.
I'd say it had to be a TG4 request - having the 2 matches at the same venue would make life much easier for them.

The fact that the Kildare seniors nominated Kilkenny as their home venue v Dublin certainly didn't help the optics either.
Interesting minor Championship. Derry and Monaghan are on similar levels and were way ahead of Connaught. So is Ulster extremely strong or is Connaught extremely weak?
Kerry and Dublin are probably on a par based on their performances v Kildare and Cork.
Kerry are improving game on game but will need a huge improvement to beat Monaghan.
I feel it'll be a Derry-Monaghan All-Ireland final
At minor level Derry, Monaghan and Tyrone have/had very little between them this year. Derry are the team with the best defence with McEldowney outstanding at CHB and Cahair Spiers also excellent. Sargent at midfield really drives them on too. For the most part with the exception of the ulster final Derry have given up so few scoring opportunities and they demoralise most opposing teams such is their meanness. The ulster minor final was a classic with the editor of the Gaelic Life tweeting that there was 27 goal scoring chances. Both team's goalies made incredible saves in the final, especially the Derry keeper who saved at least 3 chances that looked like certain goals. Only Monaghan have really tested Derry though I feel Tyrone would have been their match too. Tyrone were very well coached, had some very strong running half forwards like Donaghy and had ran up some huge tallies in the ulster championship. Monaghan are a very physical side (which is unusual for them at minor level) with a few outstanding forwards; McGinnity, Finn and Mallen. On Wikipedia it says McGinnity is currently top scorer across the 4 provinces and Finn is also in top 10 (though nearly all of the latters is from play) but Mallen is the player who makes them tick. McGinnity is the son of former 90's Monaghan player Stephen McGinnity who some of ye might remember. I fully expect Derry to beat Dublin. Monaghan / Kerry will be very close. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's an all ulster final.
Fantastic finish by Dublin yesterday. With ten minutes to go they trailed by six points and looked dead and buried. But they dug so deep and turned a six point deficit into a three point win. Brilliant

The winning goal was a disaster for Cork but well finished by Dublin. The free to tie it was top class. The normal free taker (Cahill) had fluffed one from more or less the same spot just before and Mularkey just strolled over and took the ball off Cahill (who looked relieved:-)) Mularkey then nailed it. He made a huge impact when he came on.

I feel it'll be a Derry-Monaghan All-Ireland final
Connacht while clearly not as strong as last year would not be extremely weak. Was a big gap against the Ulster finalists yesterday in physical stakes and I've seen similar happen in the Hogan cup this year when Omagh CBS powered their way past some decent opposition. I think if Mayo and Galway was playing against Leinster or Munster finalists yesterday they would be more competitive games. I also I feel it'll be a Derry-Monaghan All-Ireland final.

Maybe now there is little between them but Derry trounced Monaghan earlier in the Ulster Championship group stage, 1-14 to 0-6.
Monaghan have made up a lot of ground and look to be still improving.
I´m gobsmacked by the technical standard and fitness of these kids. For instance, a monaghan lad coverted a 45 against a considerable wind with plenty to spare. Until Beggan came along I don't recall a Monaghan senior converting a 45 this century and that includes Paul Finlay / Conor McManus.
Derry are the team to beat I think, even against Kerry in a final. Monaghan took them to extra time and penalties but needed goals to do it. Dublin looked beat at the weekend, only for a dodgy decision or two; expect Derry to turn them over. Monaghan themselves are a credit, playing some serious football with a panel picked from fewer than 20 minor club teams. I hope they make the final.
Any dates times and venues for the semi finals yet???
This Saturday.
Kerry v Monaghan, O'Connor Park, 2.30pm, TG4
Sunday
Dublin v Derry, Athletic Grounds, 5.30pm, TG4
Seems very unfair on Kerry minors to play the Monaghan minors as part of a double header with the Monaghan seniors.
Didn't Croke Park take the minor finals away from before the senior final to protect them from having to play in front of a large crowd that are there for the senior game?
That should apply for other minor games also.

How big of crowd is expected for Monaghan v Kildare senior game? not many Kildare supporters will watch the minor game I'd say. Be interesting to see what size of crowd will attend the AI final this year on July 8th in provincial venue. Last years final between Galway and Mayo had 13,000 at it in Hyde Park.

Not entirely fair, but Kerry got the benefit of this over the years, while Monaghan probably never did (although other Ulster supporters probably cheered for them).

Not since minor was changed to 16 and 17 year olds
Mighty win for the Monaghan youngsters, though it was helter skelter for the last 10 minutes.
That's not the first own goal Monaghan have scored from the 45 line at the last kick of a half.
Great stuff by the young lads earlier, massive win. A fortunate goal was the difference but I think we were well worth the win overall. Some real quality in that team, we'll be seeing a few of them line out for the seniors in a few years.
Special word for Dermot Malone, only retired from the county team last year and now he's managed the minors to the AI final, fantastic start to a managerial career
When's the last time Monghan made an all-Ireland final? They had a couple of good minor teams which won Ulster/ Ulster finals but can't remember how far they got.

At any level?
The ladies have been there.
For the men it was in the early 1930's after they beat Kildare in the sf. They were mauled by Kerry in the final, legend has it that there were 2 Monaghan men left standing at the end, both Ballybay men.

Last minor AI final was 1939
The sooner the minors are back on as a curtain raiser to the senior all Ireland the better! Loved getting in for the minor game on final day and it must have been some buzz for the young lads playing at HQ in front of a full house.
The David Clifford final is bound to have been the best ever minor performance??
Of course it is, but they need move minor back to 18. There seems to be abit of difference in sizes of minor players, Kerry I thought had a very big team.

I'd rather see tailtean cup final as the curtain raiser - there's no doubting that it's an unbelievable experience for the minors getting to play before an AIF, but who is more deserving, the likes of a John heslin after 12 years of toil or a David Clifford starting on his journey?
I'm all for minor games being played as curtain raiders, but no need for it to be before the final.
And I'd fully support the move back to 18, the leaving cert/a-level argument is nonsense, as I'm sure many on here dan attest to, there's plenty of time for both.
Disappointing result for Kerry. Horrible error by the keeper for the decisive goal and just before HT too. I did think Monaghan were marginally better on the day though having watched it back. Kerry will rue some of the wasted possessions and a few other errors. I thought the keeper lost his nerve a bit and just belted every kickout long for a finish but they are 16/17 so hard to blame them too much. Minor needs to go back to 18 as people have said here. GAA people up and down the country know it, just the few in the Ivory tower of Croke park won't acknowledge it.
I sorta see it just as another money racket, 20euro yesterday!.
geoblocked on the tg4 player in the north. Shite
Derry were straight through on goal there if that lad had passed to the extra player on the left.
Both teams making poor basic mistakes here, especially when shooting
Derry running into too many 2/3 men tackles, silly!. Dublin missed about 4 good chances. Derry normally wouldn't play as open as this.

Doesn't matter what the officials done, that was as stupid as you get, likely cost Derry the game. Instead of rushing in, why the Derry management not take the team to the side.

Keeper got a shoulder and push by two Dublin players as he was going down the tunnel, he stupidly reacted and threw a shitty punch at the next Dublin player. The Dublin no.7 (who was booked for a dirty body check earlier) then pushed the keeper into the linesman (who wasn't looking) and probably thought the keeper had them attacked him.
Usually stupid tunnel shenanigans.
How work that free, everyone the keeper tried to get the hand and toe to it, he was getting kicked.

Brilliant second half from Doire. Mc Guckian took a lot of abuse. The ref was out of shape and out of his depth.
Well done to Derry. By far better team and raised their game after Dublin goal. Dublin lack of composure on goal chances in first 10 minutes proved costly.
Some fabulous players on that Derry team. Some of them try to ride one tackle too many rather than moving the ball on but Christ you'd never have known they were a man down with the running they did.

No. 6 is there best fballer, Fairly strong at Midfield too. That's about the 3 strong minor teams in a 4yr period. Derry need look at the U19 set up within the county.

Or so the urban myth goes.
The incident in that game was not in any way dangerous. A foot block where a player uses his foot to block a ball that has clearly left the opponent's foot is no more dangerous than a block using hands, arms, chest whatever. I've played and watched a lot of football in my time and I can only recall ever seeing an actual dangerous 'foot block' once, but I've heard many's a roar from spectators for one!
It's like square ball, unpoliceable, so just get rid of it.
The action it attempts to stamp out could be covered by other types of dangerous play - no need for the specific naming of a part of the body.

It was a bit but I did laugh.
Technically if he was subbed off already and got the red, should we have been down to 14?
Perhaps grounds for appeal?
I trust the Dublin No 7 will receive due sanctions for his stamp on the Derry goalkeeper in the second half - he had already been booked. Very clear on TG4 coverage.

Sneaky Derry management, trying to sub the player that got red carded after he got red carded.
As if we needed another Dublin-Derry too many players on the pitch controversy.
It was a bit but I did laugh.
Technically if he was subbed off already and got the red, should we have been down to 14?
Perhaps grounds for appeal?
Crafty move! But Derry were superb after Dublin equalised

Derry were outstanding. Hopefully those who hit the Derry goalkeeper (isolated as a Derry player on 7 Dub subs) will also now face sanctions. We will wait and see.

Shocking decision for penalty. Ref ruining it.
Clear foot block lol
Stupid needless rule.
It's a rule because it's dangerous.
Can easily result in broken ankle for the kicker.
Or so the urban myth goes.
The incident in that game was not in any way dangerous. A foot block where a player uses his foot to block a ball that has clearly left the opponent's foot is no more dangerous than a block using hands, arms, chest whatever. I've played and watched a lot of football in my time and I can only recall ever seeing an actual dangerous 'foot block' once, but I've heard many's a roar from spectators for one!
It's like square ball, unpoliceable, so just get rid of it.
The action it attempts to stamp out could be covered by other types of dangerous play - no need for the specific naming of a part of the body.
Is that tackle ok then during play on any part of the pitch by any player?
So basically you're saying throwing your feet to block the ball is fine
The foot block is used in every soccer match, In all my years watching I don't remember one injury to the kicker.
It's a needless rule backed up by an urban myth.
No comparison with the foul play should an opposing player kick out the ball when it is about to be picked up.
I only saw the 2nd half, Derry were not just impressive but totally imperious.
I'm happy enough that they won, so now we can finally have the replay of the drawn game ;)
I take it the goalie is out of the final? that's a tough one to take.

No. 6 is there best fballer, Fairly strong at Midfield too. That's about the 3 strong minor teams in a 4yr period. Derry need look at the U19 set up within the county. We seem drop off slightest when these lads move up. Had Murray, McAvoy been playing the U-20's this Yr we probably won that Ulster final.
Who's fault is that?

Yes, had all Connacht final last year, All Munster final Tipp v Kerry in 2015 and All Leinster final in between Dublin v Meath and Laois.
Well if its not good for them to play before a big crowd in seniors, playing before a big crowd in Croker not help.

Absolutely, the ref was 100% correct to apply the law. My gripe is with the rule not the ref.
You'd be happy then if players all over the pitch decided to throw their feet towards the ball in GAA cause you see it in soccer and feel it's ok?
The same soccer that players when they get tickled in the ear throw themselves down and roll about?

OK - we'll agree to differ on that but the point is that its a rule and even though we mighn't like it, its still a rule and its the refs job to enforce the rules
It's an easy one to enforce... there was a few 'throw' balls today, seems the bogballers are copying the hurlers
The main thing is that the Dublin No 7 is sanctioned for his deliberate stamp on a Derry player.
That second half was a good a performance as as team could want. It was brilliant from the lads.
Final confirmed for 9th July at 1pm in armagh

Incredible scoring from young mcginnity - is he Stephen's son?
Monaghan scores very concentrated versus a big spread of scorers from Derry.
The two of them seem to be well ahead of the rest (tyrone aside) - you'd really have to question the need for penalties at this level - why the need to rush this to a finish this weekend?
Hope it's a good game and you wouldn't begrudge Monaghan an all Ireland win if it comes to that!!
Big difference in the scores conceded. Derry by 5 for me.
Wonder what sort of a crowd to expect for this. Many of yous going?

Indeed, even my ma is going to croker next week, she hasn't been since the 98 semi final.
Yip going to the minors.
Will Higgins play?
Novel All Ulster All Ireland pairing should be producing a decent crowd in attendance. Sunday afternoon should be suitable for most. Last year the All Ireland final between Galway and Mayo was played on Friday evening yet near 13,000 turned up for that final.
Not easy to beat the same team 3 times in one campaign as Mayo found out last year.
Having a team last year beat 3 times and still fit to contest a all-Ireland in my opinion is wrong, Mayo lost one game all year.

Two defeats for Monaghan both to Derry this yer.
Galway lost three times last year (twice to Mayo,and a defeat to Leitrim) yet went on to win the All Ireland beating Mayo in the final which was Mayo's only defeat all year.
Where in or around Croke Park will be showinv this minor final?
Anybody know?
Good luck to Derry players and management in today's final. They have the individual quality and teamwork on the field to win this.

Serious crowd, I presume the shed is pretty full also Those big GAA yokes are actually taking up useful space, are they to stop people jeering at penalties?
Looks like a near capacity crowd in Athletic Grounds. Why the need for those big GAA banners behind the goal taking up space where supporters should be standing?

In this electronic age they already knew the crowd size yesterday for the most part, they should have removed them, they might be appropriate in a half empty ground but not in an almost full one.
Half time Derry 0-8 Monaghan 0-6. Deserved half time lead for Derry, scores coming easier for them.
Completely deserved to go.. dirty action from Derry 5
I know that fella is young but that was a deserved red card. What was he at.
Harsh!!
Would need to see it again but looked harsh!

Yes, no question, absolutely stupid and well earned red card.
Goal for Derry. 1-11 to 0-7
Monaghans easy concession of kickout to Derry has killed them .. Monaghan no presence around the middle
Monaghan shooting and shot selection against the wind is atrocious.
This is going more like the group stage game than the Ulster final for Monaghan. Sending off could have been a lifeline however it's made Derry more focused and clinical.

Wouldn't fancy marking that wee boy mcguckian. Never stops.
Ref doing his best to spoil this game, put your bloody hand down ffs, blowing frees every 15secs.
Serious performance from the Derry lads... very well deserved!

Watched it back again while I don't think there was intent it was definitely dangerous and the right call. Thankfully it didn't impact the result as Derry are by far the better team here.
Yes Derry v good though look very average .. no fwd line
Full time Derry 1-13 Monaghan 0-9. Congratulations to Derry their 2nd U17 All-Ireland title in the last few years.
As for Monaghan didn't take advantage of the extra man for the last 20 minutes. Shooting and shot selection poor just 9 scores from 24 shots.

Derry great wee team. Sending off galvanised them. Two minors in four years some going. Hopefully the young fella learns from that because you can't be doing that.
Hard luck to Monaghan. I think the occasion got to them a bit too.

Well done Derry. Best team won and by beating monaghan 3 times in one season shows their superiority. But well done to dermot malone and his monaghan team. Brought us to a place where we've never been before in most of our lifetime Great season. Very proud of everyone involved

Superb Derry team; hope they progress to senior level. It's inevitable that life will take most of them away, so important to enjoy the achievement for it's own sake
There always seems to be a Higgins from magherafelt on these minor teams. Must be quite a few of them.
Pretty much Derry were in control all of the game, they were well structured and imposing and disappointingly Monaghan did not measure up to that standard on the day as they did v Mayo.
The ref was poor I doubt he can or could hack it at senior level, about the only real decision he got right was the stonewall red card, but no kudos seeing as it was so obvious. Why can't one of the top senior refs be appointed to ref an AI final? instead we got a minor ref.

Completely agree with that - there's a lot of talk about this grade being developmental etc, but logically, for a lot of these guys this is the pinnacle of their football careers, something they'll always remember and a great achievement in its own right.
That's another reason why I don't follow the logic of not playing these games as a curtain raiser to all Ireland final or semi, this is the only chance the majority of players on display today will ever have of playing in croker park before a big crowd. I've yet to come across anyone who supports the route we've gone with that, do how come in a democratic organisation, it remains? Do I just talk to the wrong people??

A beautiful style of football a very log way from the current mens orthodoxy in Ulster.
They were different because they believed they could win.
Derry were just at a level higher than monaghan
Some fantastic wee footballers and very well drilled.
No panic after the sending off, in fact they all stepped up.
By far the better side.
Ref was erratic I would say, some very strange calls then let some obvious fouls go on both sides.
Future looks good for Derry football.

Too many of that team didn't come through who were good enough for the County, John Mulholland should been starting Midfield after McGilligan went, Rory McEldowney went off to soccer, and Eunan O'Kane got injured. Skelly probably if he been at a senior club made it to.

How did that team get on in U21's? Think that age group is more important than minor.
Tyrone beat them by a point in either Maghera or Lavey( they were coming of 2 All-Ireland finals, can't remember if they won it that year) , was at it but so long ago, I can't remember, should won the game though, I think a bad goal was give aeay.

Definitely Maghera. I genuinely don't think that under-21 was a priority for Derry back then.

Won U21 Ulster in '93. Beat Down in the final, at the Athletic Grounds.
Some of the '89 minors were still available. The likes of Burns, Diamond etc played on that team.
Beat by Meath in the semi final in Castleblaney. Geraghty was whb for Meath that day.. I think

Gary Coleman, would have been still been under 21 in 93 & Dermot Dougan also played that day ( Dougie &Karl Diamond were on the bench in 1989 but were still under 16 )

They're only U17s, so it'll be 4-6 years before they come through. Big step up.
Be interesting to see how this panel progresses with club and county over the next 10 years. Good for a case study in regards to underage development to senior football.
Will many come through?
Will more of this age group come through, who were not on this wider panel?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Derry played much better yesterday than they did in the Ulster Final.
Monaghan were a shadow of what they were in that game and the game against Mayo.
I know they kicked a lot of wides but they just weren't the same team.

89 team was some team
some players who practically disappeared after that who were mainstays of that team and very good players
Coleman only 1 of back 7 to make it.
Paddy, Simpson, Skelly, McGonigle, Martin, OConnor - did they represent Derry at senior level at all ? maybe a league game here and there but dont remember
Big John at midfield played a few league games
James Lynn and McEldowney, dont think so
Watched some parts of the game back. There was a serious crowd from Monaghan there. At the game, I thought it was about 3/1 on the support side of things, but seeing the full stand it was probably closer to 5/1. They certainly gave their team some support, even during the warm up, clapping them going over and back across the pitch.
Derry controlled most of the game yesterday, there was some brief threats from McGinnity and Finn, but I felt Derry kept them at arms length. We were in a good position at half time, 2pts up and with the breeze in the second half. The free off the ground (with the breeze) from Finn was some hit, could have landed it from 10yds further back.
On the sending off, its one of those that you'd probably try to defend your own player, saying he was stumbling and falling over someone who had just fallen in front of them. If he isn't your man, you'd say he meant to do damage and knew what he was doing. I'd say the ref was right on this one, though think the linesman on the far side was the one who made the call.
After that, I think that Monaghan had a couple of wides and maybe one dropped short. If any of those went over the Monaghan crowd would've lifted the roof off. The shot selection, into the wind, was v poor. Too many bad wides, and dropped short.
But the goal killed the game for Derry, was strange to see a team with an extra man, caught out completely at the back on a long kick out, fielded by Higgins in midfield, quick hand pass, and it was man to man on the run in, and one of them had to chase back to get close to Sargent. Doherty done extremely well to hold off his marker and draw the keeper, and it was an easy finish.
Superb result. And another great lift for Derry.

Was at that Castleblaney one too, played decent against Meath best U-21 Team. Ventured on to Jody Devine club for Derry v Meath Challenge game. The nite the garda were called lol.
Is there many from either side back again next year?
Had a look at the 2022 Ulster Minor Final and Derry only had 4 from the panel that played against Tyrone that day, available again this year: McEldowney, McGuckian, Higgins and Spiers. Think Boyle was part of the wider panel last year.

Dillon, Sargent and Young definitely underage. Next year , I think Grant and McCloy are too
Aye Grant and Mc Cloy are.
Adrian Mc Guickan's cub is too.
I think there is 10 or 11 on the panel that are eligible next year.
Sargent from Lavey is some operator.
You already know Sargent be a senior county man at this stage already, he stands out the way Mark Lynch, James Keilt, did at this level.

Half time Longford 0-3 Dublin 1-4, Longford manager at the break very honest saying they are lucky to be still in the game and maybe the Leinster final occasion has got to his players.
45 minutes played Dublin 1-5 Longford 0-6. Longford hanging in there and thankfully Dublin 4 other goals chances ended up with no score.
Longford level it up in the 3rd minute of added time. 0-10 to 1-7 extra time to be played.
Longford kicking themselves out of this.
Me nerves
Longford one point ahead with 3 minutes of extra time to play.
Longford a point up, 5 minutes gone in the second period of extra time.
Longford 2 up with a minute left!
Well done Longford.
Hopefully, Armagh will be meeting Dublin rather than Longford.
Longford win their first Leinster U17/18 title since 2010. FT Longford 0-15 Dublin 1-10
Fantastic, well done Longford.
huge congrats to Longford. them young lads will get some great feeling out of that

Well done Longford, enjoy the win shamrock. Thought the full back for Lonford was excellent. Great to see .
Well done to Longford. By far the better team.
Well done Longford the scenes at the end showed how much that title means to their players, management and supporters. Weathered the 1st half storm to outscored Dublin 0-12 to 0-6 after that.
Thought the Longford subs made a big difference in the game.

They did last month, which was Longfords first U17/U18 win against Dublin for 22 years.
Decent Connacht final tonight, Roscommon the better team 1st half but left to rue they were only level. Mayo the better team 2nd half and kicked on to win by 4 points.
Quarter final line up
Mayo v Cork
Roscommon v Kerry
Longford v Armagh or Derry
Dublin v Armagh or Derry
We made a lot of errors in that 2nd half which they punished.
They made very few.
2 weeks to prepare for Kerry and we'll see how it goes.
The 7 (or more!) games will certainly help in these lads' development as footballers and look forward to seeing them as u20s and some as County Seniors.
A lot of them from the smaller clubs, hopefully they can help make their clubs more competitive and give us some new nanes as Club Champions in the years ahead.

These lads are very young in the scheme of things - 16 and 17 year olds. I know plenty of lads who were fine footballers at this age and were not so good when senior level approached. In other cases some moved away from sport with Education, work, leisure activities, travelling and girlfriends taking center stage.
Naturally on the other side, there are a plethora on show tonight that will see very successful careers with their clubs and county.

Derry v Armagh Ulster final starting at 1pm live on TG4.
Highly competitive 1st half between two well matched teams. Half time Armagh 1-3 Derry 0-7
Too me Derry way stronger and got all the play, maybe there a strong wond there.Abit of a pot luck with the long ball for the goal.
On another point, there nobody at these underage games. I was supposed to go, there alot of senior games, then alot of U20 and Minor games The big increase on games across the board might see increased attendance, but not against the number of games. Poor turn out U20 final, poor turn out this one, Should these games not be played before a qualifier or bck to the old days and the Ulster final.
Derry playing too much around the outside without really threatening. Could easily get caught on the break. Armagh giving away too many handy frees.
Dreadful game in my opinion. Pulling everyone back inside the 45 and the other team throwing it around in front of them. The number of backward passes is embarrassing. Sad to see young lads buying into this over-coached bollix. The only thing it has going for it is it might be a close finish. No wonder stadiums are empty.
Not much Derry can do, they toasted Armagh when they played open in a earlier game, Armagh played all behind the ball whole game, trying to catch Derry on a break.Derry are matching that set up. Goal was the only thing keeping Armagh in it.
That lad just dragged the Derry No.7 to the ground. Amazed that not a black card.
As blatant a black card as you could ever see. And the ref gives a yellow!?!

Such a clear black. Like a cop jumping on a burglar

Derry two point winners in the end and look like the team to beat in the All Ireland series. It's Longford for Armagh next and Dublin for Derry I'll be surprised if the two Ulster finalists don't progress to the All Ireland semi finals.
Quote from: Estimator on May 26, 2024, 02:15:31 PMAs blatant a black card as you could ever see. And the ref gives a yellow!?!
The Armagh minors could learn from the senior team who are more disciplined nowadays.
Derry the better team on balance, as expected.
Derry players in there 2nd year made the big difference there, they were all the scorers.Hard to know if they as good as last years team, they got a very good half back and half forward line, but not the same target man as Higgins last year.
Hard luck Armagh. Don't see Derry winning any All Ireland tbh, very easily nullified today by a team they beat by 17 pts a few weeks ago. Then again it's hard to know how the provinces measure up and if they'll give Derry the free reign to do what they like.

In terms of the overall standard in the province I would agree.
I would say though that I fancy Mayo to win the All Ireland.
I've seen them a few times and they are very good.
That 5 out 8 finals for Derry in 10yrs and a semi final with a losing Ulster final team few yrs bck. Good going at underage. Need Start a big focus on the U20 level and let them play their level. We let a couple finals go past few yrs.

Heard a few ones say that Derry treat the U20 grade as a development one.
Play players that are more likely to make the step up to senior in the future ie. The best players just out of minor rather than the all 19 and 20 year olds.
Not sure if any truth to it.
Why is it then that minor games don't be played before Senior games now?
I heard the saying that it's not fair on the young lads to play in front of big crowds, but any 'proper' reasons?
As wild weasel said, there are a shitload of games on. Getting to watch them on tv is hard enough, never mind getting to go to them.

I suppose everyones different but for a lot of those young lads it's the biggest game they'll ever play in and might never play in front of a full stadium again. Play it before a senior game surely!

Was there not something about not wanting to pressurise the players playing in front of a big crowd? Load of nonsense. The best players will thrive in that environment and the others will learn loads from the experience!

Absolutely agree with that - this will be the pinnacle of many of those lads Gaelic football careers - it's a great achievement for them and I'd be very surprised if there was a lad there who wouldn't rather be playing before a big games, rather than a stand alone fixture.
Same goes for those who talk of underage football as being a developmental pathway towards senior intercounty football - again that neglects the reality that simple mathematics means it's improbable that more than a few off any panel will progress to senior stardom. Let them enjoy the highest level they'll achieve and give them something to tell the kids about!!!
Last season's All Ireland final was played in front of a crowd of 13,754 at the Athletic Grounds - If it had been before a senior game in Croke Park there would be nowhere near the same atmosphere. This years Ulster Final on Sunday probably had less than 3000 - put that in Clones before a senior match and I doubt it would feel like a big game. I dont agree with the reasoning that young players shouldn't be subjected to the pressure of a big match but having them as standalone fixtures can make them more accessible. As it seem it is another GAA attempt to to reduce the importance of competitions and competitiveness at underage level. But at least you can get to watch the matches if you want and aren't subjected to the cost of a double header.

Not sure whether to put here or in the wtf thread.
At the end of the day, these are still children at minor.
Let them be kids I say.
Watched the Munster Final a few weeks back which finished Kerry 2-18 Cork 1-6.
Really don't think it would have benefitted anyone to have this game on in front of a senior Munster Final.
U20s I would be far more comfortable being in front of senior games if logistics allowed it.

Complete joke. Under 17 instead of 18, No speeches, no interviews, no playing before big crowds in provincial and national games and round robin and tiers.
Completely ruined competitions which were once fantastic. Sucked all life out of it. Tyrone Minors this year have played 9 games, lost 4, not one of our better teams and deservedly beaten by Derry in Ulster Semi and that should be the year over. But now have to enter a Tier 2 competition that no one wants to be in for potentially the next 3 weeks. Make it make sense.

Based on? and at U16/15 level these players have played more than 9 games. Does be a few HQ ran competitions they play in with B sections also.
If "no member of squad or management" wanted to be involved, wouldn't they have pulled out?
Galway,Kildare,Donegal,Tyrone some decent teams in the tier two section and all should take it serious and aim to win it.

Current structures are broken. People talking about as many games as possible for development. Give me a break.
The GAA needs to stop players playing games ::)
Not sure what the Wexford team are normally like but that was bad. Maybe Tyrone are that far ahead but it looked like we didn't get out of 2nd gear at times. Is that game really going to help the young lads more than a club game would? Wexford did have 2 or 3 good players in fairness but nowhere near where those Tyrone lads are at

Wexford in Leinster this year. Group stage they finished 2nd by beating Carlow by 10 points and lost to Wicklow by one point. They faced Dublin in the Quarter final and lost 5-11 to 0-9
If there is to be a tiered minor championship, it shouldn't simply be for teams who had early championship exits, like Tyrone or mist of the other tier 2 teams this year. It should be for the teams that are far from the top minor standard.

True. Similar to the B Championship in minor and u20 hurling.
TG4 covering the four Tier one All Ireland Quarter finals.
Tier Three Final live also
Derry's caught on the counter for that goal just as bad as their seniors was against Armagh,Donegal.
Derry all over them but not putting the scores on the board, even with giving away the goal, they should be ahead here.
Dublin playing a very deep counter attacking game, very undublin like.. Bit like Ulster teams.

Not deep however have numbers back without the ball and counter attacking is very much part of their senior team setup.
Decent half of football in Breffni Park. Derry 0-8 Dublin 1-4
Level at the break in the Tier two semi final Tyrone 1-5 Cavan 0-8
Derry should be outta sight, missed a bagful. Probably come bck on them before the end of the game.
Derry only performing at a fraction of what they are capable of. Need to be more clinical in the second half.
Bad sigh minor can hit 50m frees and our seniors can't.
That was awful slack, 2 bad goals give away.
Derry asleep there, but surely that free didn't go 10 yards

2nd goal for Dublin, Derry caught napping on that free. 0-10 to 2-4 with 37 minutes played.
Ref blind there, lad arm pulled bck trying to solo there.
Derry kicked way too many wides. And the refs trying his best to keep Dublin in it.
Dublin level it up again with a free. 45 minutes played 2-6 to 0-12
Derry by far the better side but not taking their scores and gave away 2 very sloppy goals.
Dublin growing in confidence as a result.
Our cor er back, number 2, is getting a tough time in there
50 minutes played still level 2-8 to 0-14.
Lad got zero cover. Derry played way too open,and should operate with a sweeper. Wouldn't like to see the wide count, gotta be double digits now
five minutes to play and whatever time will be added. Derry 0-17 Dublin 2-9
Ref need take the blinkers off
3 pts up, and keeping nobody back, go figure.
Struggled to throw off a stubborn Dublin for long stages but Derry got there in the end by a margin of two points. FT Derry 0-18 Dublin 2-10
2 pts, should been by 8pts+,

Could be further ahead wasted some goal chances and gave away a bad one. Armagh's athleticism appears too much for Longford.
Armagh cruising but a criminal amount of chances being missed
50 minutes played Armagh 1-11 Longford 1-3. Longford with their first score since the 17th minute which was their goal.
Full time Armagh 1-16 Longford 1-3. Like last year could we get two Ulster teams in the U17 All Ireland final?
One way traffic 2nd half the Armagh goal before half time seemed to knock the stuffing out of Longford. Play Mayo or Cork next?

There seems to be some confusion about who Mayo play next , is there anyplace that it can be checked ?
I believe blowitupref to be correct
He usually is.
For Kerry-Roscommon, the efficiency of the Kerry forwards was tremendous.
After 23 minutes it was Kerry 0-10 Roscommon 0-1.
Kerry had taken 10 attempts at scores, Roscommon had taken 6.
Rarely would you see a 10/10 success rate from the start and it was against a very strong wind to boot.

Any senior team wouldn't have efficiency rate like that. Derry will have to perform better than they did against Dublin to topple Kerry.
A strange anomaly in the Kerry-Roscommon was how spread apart Roscommon's points were and how close in proximity 4 goals were.
Roscommon got 3 points in total:
1st minute of 1st half
1st minute of 2nd half
63rd/final minute of 2nd half.
After the 50th minute, the next 4 scores were goals, 2 each, less than 4 minutes between the 1st and the 4th.

Pretty much every decision correct to me.
There was a free to Kerry, couple bck, where the Derry lad clearly fouled coming out and he gives a Kerry free for the nxt contact which was minimal.Derry missed 2 clear goals, and should be level at the bare minimum. Gonna have to change midfield, it's Sargent by himself in there.

Yeah Derry left at least one goal behind them and the Kerry goal was fierce cheap (zero marking) and the timing didn't help. I could see more goals in this.
Goalkeeper had a head stagger last year. And didn't get near the Kerry lad on the high kick in.
If there no change at Midfield they beat.

The Kerry keeper is very good to be fair.
But agree, MF is struggling, and we're getting opened up too easily at the back.
No free to Derry there, lad over carried.
Foul after foul from Kerry.
What a wasted chance.
Ref letting alot of over carrying go
Much better
Derry missed 3 clean goals, gifted one to Kerry, and are still keeping Kerry in it.

Brilliant result for the minors. Really turned it around in the 2nd half and should probably have won more comfortably in the end.
Sergeant is some operator. Looks and plays like a young Tohill. Hitting frees from 50 odd metres out too.
Kerry are a good side, their keeper in particular is class.
Deserved win for Derry. The tough games against Dublin, Armagh helped them today. Kerry non competitive games v Cork, Roscommon didn't really help them.
Honnn Derry
Ref wasn't doing us many favours but couple calls at the end went our way
Great stuff. Beat Dublin and Kerry no mean feat. Hope to finish the job. Sargent some operator

Only seen bits of the Ulster final but that Derry look a good side. Be great for us to reach a final and once you're there anything can happen
Was the throw ball the ref blew against Kerry in the 2nd half the right call? Would need to see it again but from the quick glance at the replay I got it looked harsh.

It looked the wrong call to me. He was running around very keen to blow technical fouls. Good game, ebbed and flowed.
Young Cathair McBride had a fantastic game. A few on here a bit harsh on the midfield.
Kerry went man to man and was a great game and showed what Derry could do. Against Amragh in Ulster Final they dropped 86 men behind the ball and was a totally different game.

Armagh well organised in defence and picking off important scores with turn overs
Looks like a third game of the championship between Derry and Armagh in the final.
That's a good Armagh team. They're miles better here.
Quote from: Blowitupref on May 26, 2024, 02:44:19 PMQuote from: bennydorano on May 26, 2024, 02:33:38 PMHard luck Armagh. Don't see Derry winning any All Ireland tbh, very easily nullified today by a team they beat by 17 pts a few weeks ago. Then again it's hard to know how the provinces measure up and if they'll give Derry the free reign to do what they like.
From what I've seen and similar to U20 this year Ulster appears to be the strongest province of the four.
As I said number of weeks ago Ulster the stand out province and that's how it's turned out.
Full Time Mayo 1-6 Armagh 0-16

Congratulations to Armagh, a great performance and kudos to AOR, wasn't too many expecting a run like this. I'm beginning to think he might have been roping a bit in that group game v Derry. Derry will be big favourites for the final but if you're not in you can't win.

At minor level in 2022.
In the group stages Mayo beat Galway by 14 points and in the Connacht Final by 6 points.
Then in the All Ireland final Galway beat Mayo by 6 points. History to repeat itself with Armagh?
Brilliant stuff for Armagh.
Great to see a bit of a run from an underage team, been a while from wemve been in an all ireland final at any level so well done to the lads. That's a good Derry side. If I remember rightly we'd a silly black card the last day against them and they got in front and we couldnt get them back. We've every chance in the final
Should be a good final.
I'd be wary of calling either team a favorite, minors can be very unpredictable. Anything can happen.
Didn't see the Armagh v mayo game but I thought Derry were very strong yesterday and always felt like they could get a score when they needed it.
Where will the final be? Omagh probably the obvious choice.

Not that unusual these days. In 2022 Mayo beat Galway well twice. Once by 14 points in the group stages and then by 6 points in the Connacht final. Galway then beat Mayo by 6 points in the All-Ireland final.
Derry are way stronger team than Armagh. Problem is they seem to play poor or average in the first half, then full tilt in the second. Played full tilt in last yrs final. If they repeat that, u can't see them stopped, but minors can be hard to judge at times.
Is GAAGO showing this?
Hopefully tg4 Harp

Who'd have thought ye wouldn't be able to make out the action in a match in July because of rain on the camera lens...
That was a dirty slap lucky he didn't go for that
GAA has done great job in totally demeaning the All Ireland minor final so they can have a circus at the senior final. The amount of empty seats in the stand and seems to be no-one in any other part of the ground. Is little word of the game anyway. Omagh an awful venue at the best of times..

Poor enough game the conditions diverging that both defences are on top.
Derry would want to be taking advantage of the wind it looks fairly strong.

After the penalty, you might be right. Armagh will be happy enough to go in level playing against the wind.
Armagh was the better team in that half yet find themselves level. That could come back to bite.
Decent game so far, won't be a lot between them in the end.
Armagh much better team, messed up 2 goal chances and Derry got a handy enough penalty, in level at the break and look to have the wind for the second half.
Disgraceful that this isn't in Croker next weekend. Omagh isn't the best of a field to put it mildly.
Can't understand why Armagh were so negative in the Ulster Final. Much more balanced today, and what do you know, they're well in it.
Thought while Armagh had much more of the ball they weren't great with it and coughed it up a lot. Derry have been poor in the same regard but Armagh have played slightly better.
Thought a few of the overcarrying calls were a joke and that the Armagh lad should have got the line for punching the keeper in the ribs and making no attempt at the ball. The penalty was 100%.
Big half for both teams will Armagh keep the ball like the first half or let it in with the breeze? You'd imagine both teams will mind the ball better this half.

The big beating they received off Derry in the group stages would have played a part in that. Competitive Ulster final performance and wins against Longford,Mayo has them in a very different mindset today but have missed some big opportunities in that 1st half.

Armagh are constantly getting away with dragging the derry player back.
Derry's forward play is poor and Armagh are more direct when they have the ball.
Sides are level with 15 minutes and whatever added time to play.

Ridiculous throw ball call and now a free out that wasn't given and instead gives a free in for ?

FT Derry 2-7 Armagh 0-10. Congrats to Derry the first team to retain this All Ireland since it became U17 grade.
Not that teams finest performance but job done. They deserved that over the course of the year. But feck that ref was shocking today.

Quote from: screenexile on July 07, 2024, 03:12:45 PMThat wasn't overcarrying he only took 3 steps!
He kept blowing Derry for it and ignored a number of Armagh over carrys. Great to win especially when the ref is favouring the other side so much.
Armagh played reasonably well the first 2/3 of the game but Sargent took over from the 40th minute and pushed Derry on with the goal coming at a great time.
2 in a row is some achievement well done to all!!!
Brilliant last 20 from Derry.
Much the better side in the end and the ref kept Armagh in it. Probably should have been 6 or 7 in it at the end only for him.
Sargent is some footballer.
Congrats to Derry, 2 in a row is some achievement.
Armagh will be sick tho, 3 butchered goal chances & a soft penalty. Derry got on top for about 10 minutes and the damage was done.
Nine scores to ten. The goals proved the difference in the end and all the more frustrating for Armagh that the first goal was a debatable penalty.
Both have good players coming through and will be interesting to see how many go on to be established senior footballers in the years ahead.

Great captain's speech lol. Some baller.
Close game.
Armagh better for 40 mins but messed up some goal chances.
At times looked like Armagh had more players on the field.
Then Sargeant made some big plays and Derry got on top and they messed up some chances to close the game out themselves.
Ref was OK overall. Maybe did give Armagh the benefit of doubt at times but sometimes that happens for the harder working team.
Will be very interesting to see these teams meet at under20.
Well done to Derry on winning 2 in a row and having to beat the same opponents again. Neither of those is easy.

Well done to Derry thats a serious team and Sargent was unreal. Hard luck to our lads, something to be proud of for the first time in years.
Derry played 10 mins in the first half and about 10mins in the 2nd, poor overall but its getting the win which is important. Ref give some baffling decisions at times. Trying to get a goal at the end instead of the insurance point summed up their performance. Derry now has 4 exceptional strong teams in 5 yrs, so we doing sthing right.

Armagh or Donegal to complete the set!
Well done Derry, some team. Armagh didn't take their chances, I think the ref was trying to atone for the soft penalty decision in the first half.

Fair play to Jarlath Burns also, actually done some research on young Sergeant, compared to Larry McCarthy who would get your name wrong
Was sitting behind the Derry dugout. One of the Derry selectors started shouting about steps from the first minute when an Armagh player took a second step with the ball. Was at it the whole way through the match until Paul Faloon told him to be quiet or sit down. He kept going. Fourth official came over and told him the same. He kept going. Brutal stuff altogether. Come home to see the Derry lads at it on here as well. There were a couple of instances that he got the calls wrong for both teams but Jaysus lads.
Armagh the better team for long periods but the lad Sergant was the difference. A class player.
Yeah very true there Brendan and Mackers.
Fair play to Jarlath today in fairness.
Sergant was a man against boys

Catch a grip lads about the referee. It's embarrassing. Have a look at the steps Sargent took for his point in the second half. Great to win back to back but very rose tinted on here.armagh coughed up some amount of ball. They will have regrets.
From the Derry goal, the ref give Derry little, watching the game bck here, and Ger Dillon pulled to the ground by the collar for a blatant free 25m out and the ref played on.
Clones, while great for nostalgia, is objectively an awful venue. Facilities are dreadful, stuck somewhere in the 70s/80s.
Would need serious, serious money to get it even close to being what a modern stadium should be.
Add in the terrible travel infrastructure issues and it's clear why something else is needed to be the figurehead venue for Ulster GAA.

One man's blatent free is another man's fair tackle.
Not a big fan of commenting on refs but there was a too long in that game and I have never seen a free being given for a boy holding the ball for that short a period of time...
I think the best team won but Armagh can hold their heads up high because that is a very good team and we'll see a lot more of quite a few of them in years to come. There wasn't huge amounts in it but Derry were I think that bit better.
Sargeant a big factor. Armagh were very well drilled and he was able to break their tackles in crunch moments when there were others who maybe struggled more to do that.

Not on that one. He was dragged round the neck but the ref missed it. It would have been a crucial free in which would have given Derry a more comfortable finish to the game.
Just looking back though the programme from yesterday's final and there is a page detailing the top scorers from each final since 2000. Obvious names stand out: Conor Mortimer, Ciaran Kilkenny, Cormac Costello, Tommy Conroy, David Clifford.
But there is also a good few that maybe didn't play much football at senior level. Or have a major impact.
So a couple of questions: Did Eugene McVerry or Robbie Tasker (2009)play much senior football for Armagh?
Have the likes of Matthew Cooley (2018), Tomo Culhane (2019) or Éanna Monaghan (2022) made any real headroads into the Galway senior team?
Would Kerry people have expected to get more out of Killian Spillane (2014), Conor Heaney (2015) and David Shaw (2016)?

But there is also a good few that maybe didn't play much football at senior level. Or have a major impact.
So a couple of questions: Did Eugene McVerry or Robbie Tasker (2009)play much senior football for Armagh?

Top scorer with 1-6 in the 2020 All Ireland U20 final v Dublin. He scored Galway's 17th and final score in their senior Quarter final win against Dublin.
McVerry did play a lot of Senior football for Armagh, a decent career in an unspectacular team. Tasker probably more talented but not committed, think he had runs ins with the law?? Don't think he played senior or if he did it wasn't very memorable or long.
Tasker had a few bits of trouble off the field which was a shame. Eugene did play a bit for Armagh and was a decent player, back with the club this year I think.
Is one of them boys not in jail?
Hard to believe when you think back to good minor teams that a dublin team with a significant number of the great senior team there got beat by Tipperary in the minor final.

That was some Tipp team, most of them won Munster in 2020 and got to the all ireland semi in 2018.

Tasker was a wonderful talent but a bad apple mind he kicked about ten points against cross in championship game in 2010/2011, McVerry made his name at 14 on that minor team as a scoring forward, but seemed to be a more workman like wing forward when played with Armagh, think he went away travelling a bit as well.

Talent wise he'd be as good as anyone on that team at the minute but he hadn't the commitment of a lad like Grugan etc. A real pity.

Kerry POV - Killian Spillane has never kicked on to where I thought he would. Has got into a rut as impact sub but he's one of many players that I wish had been given a good run of successive games in league to try to build confidence and cohesion with team. He has the talent.
David Shaw is a middle of the road player at this stage. His size and the fact he played with Clifford a lot at minor helped him.
Conor Geaney is a very talented forward, good finisher. Playing well for Dingle at the moment. He came off the bench for Kerry early in league this year and I thought he might be in the shake up but seemed to lose out in squad selections in championship. I don't think he'll ever be a huge player at Senior level but he has squad level ability.
One of the biggest issues for Kerry has been a massive lack of blooding players from 2018 Minor team (1 on panel currently, Dylan Geaney) and 2017 team apart from David Clifford and Diarmuid O'Connor. These are 24/25 year olds now. Should have more who have got a run. Jack has been very poor at rotating panel and giving out game time.

The Tommy Conroy quoted above isnt the well known Tommy Conroy. Tommy above is a kiltane forward, great for a goal but never threatened to play senior intercounty.

Thanks for providing the list.
I had it in my head it was either Mulgrew or O'Connor in 2004, good to see the actual final top scorers.
Mulgrew was some operator at minor level. Did a bit at senior but not what you would have hoped. I vaguely remember a fantastic goal at senior level mind you.

Aye, great team goal v Donegal in 2007.
Was expecting to see Coney or O'Neill as the name for 2008 and 2010.
Coney was fantastic too - just never broke through.
One that always stands out to me is that people say there was a better player than donnelan or Joyce on a fantastic Galway team yet he never made it. I think con cannon was his name.
Best minor performance I ever saw was a boy called gareth (maybe garrett) playing for Derry minors against Monaghan I think. Paddy Bradley playing same day. I've still never seen a display of fielding like it.
Sounds like Gareth O'Neill Greenlough, was a very good midfielder, not sure what happened him. Mark Diamond was the best underage midfield player not to play for Derry senior.
Large majority of lads at minor never break through to their senior club teams, never mind county.
Just the way it is.
If you look at minor teams from match programmes a way back, you can normally only pick out a few players that have 'made it' at senior level.

I think it depends on the size of the club, smaller clubs tend to have immediate opportunities for star minors, so they don't slip through the net.
Similar at county level, growing complaints in Kerry for example that they haven't really reaped that benefits of the 5 in a row, and that's because so many of them haven't had had an opportunity to play county football. Whereas there are plenty of examples of one successful underage team providing 5/6 of a successful senior intercounty team, that's especially the case with less successful counties, where young players are drafted in relatively quickly.
Kerry did alright in bringing through a good number of those minors to seniors. From their 2014,2015,2016 All Ireland minor winners 12 of those players featured in the senior semi final against Armagh this year.
They wasted no time playing the best of those minors at senior level as was seen with David Clifford,Sean O'Shea making their senior debuts as teens.
Quote from: Wildweasel74 on August 23, 2024, 10:53:30 PMSounds like Gareth O'Neill Greenlough, was a very good midfielder, not sure what happened him.
Garret O'Neill. He played a good few years for Greenlough but was never that committed. Certainly not enough to play county football.

Gatsy could've fielded a ball alright
Greenlough have aleays had a few great players over the years, that building down at the corner didn't help things with commitment
It was O'Neill yeah. Diamond ended up playing for rossa in Antrim at one point iirc.

John Concannon. Give Sean Marty Lockhart hell in the '94 Hogan Final. He played full-forward. Maybe scored 1-5.
Joyce and Donnellan played in the half forward line that day, but Concannon was the star of the show.

HQ doesn't want U17s playing in a Croke Park in front of big crowd hence why All Ireland semi final and finals at that grade are no longer played there.
Remember Conor Owens from Tyrone missing a free he'd score in his sleep with one of the lasts kicks in the u17 final v Meath which we went on to lose. It was played in Croke Park before the Tyrone v Kerry semi final in 2021 in front of 10000s of people. Always thought it was a serious burden for a 15 or 16 year old to take on and it's not surprising that they've been moved away from HQ.
I disagree - I think the worst thing about the current Minor format has been taking these games away from before big provincial and All Ireland ties where several thousand people be watching and instead play them in front of a few dozen family members.
Munster Final Kerry v Cork has just started on TG4
Half time Kerry 0-8 Cork 0-4, Both teams had 12 shots on goal in that half.
Kerry forwards eating the ball and not passing to players in better position.
Another Munster title for Kerry. Clean sweep at senior, u20 and minor.
Jaysis lads that's poor form there from the kerry no 15, absolute horrendous dive to get the Cork no6 a red. Is Aidan O'Mahony part of the coaching set up?
Cork got it back to 0-7 to 0-11 then undone with a few poor kick outs. 55 mins played Kerry 0-16 Cork 0-7. Don't think that should have been a red card for the Cork number 6.
Full time Kerry 0-18 Cork 0-9. Three in row Munster titles for Kerry and have beaten Cork in all of those finals

Looked like ref gave the red on the linesman's say-so and in the replay it looked like the linesman had no view of it. Terrible call - only consolation is that there is little chance it affected the result given Cork looked beaten from a long way out.
I wouldn't be shocked if both sides gotten beaten the next day out. Kerry let Cork have a world of chances but Cork were hugely wasteful with a laundry list of bad wides. Could definitely see a side with better forwards taking advantage of that Kerry defence.

Has signed a contract with West Ham. Very talented in that code too by all accounts.
Leinster's decline at underage level is incredible when you look at the minor championship statistics. Since 2012 when Meath and Dublin faced one another in both the Leinster and All-Ireland final only one Leinster team has appeared in a final since then. Meath winning the All-Ireland in 2021. Looking at that Tyrone team's performance it is hard to see either Louth or Offaly competing with them this year. While both Louth and Offaly play a lovely brand of football it is hard to see how they can live with the sheer athleticism, power and scoring ability of a side like Tyrone. Armagh's demolition of Dublin further highlighting the gulf in standards between the development of Northern teams to teams in Leinster currently. Last two Leinster champions, Longford 2024 and Dublin 2023 were torn asunder when they faced Northern opposition.

Very impressive-looking Tyrone team, that. Serious work rate and was very noticeable how Cavan laboured to, or simply weren't allowed work the ball quickly enough up the field to attack after a rare turnover, compared to Tyrone being able to knife through and up to the business end in three or four rapid hand passes. If they don't win the All-Ireland it'll be some team to stop them. It took them a fair while to put away a game enough but ultimately limited Cavan team, who might be able to pick themselves up for the QF yet. Wouldn't want to face Tyrone again though, me shite is sickened losing every match of consequence to them at all levels and after they disembowel the seniors again in the Sam Maguire group, that'll be a good enough bellyfull of red hand for the year.

Thanks a lot for putting that up, I'd probably never have copped it otherwise.
Non streamed/covered All-Ireland series and Tailteann Cup games need to be given to TG4.
TG4 is pound for pound the best GAA channel really isn't it? There is no logical reason for them not be allowed to show any game that is not being broadcast elsewhere. They will do it. Rainy day in Ballyshannon or anywhere else!
Half time Kerry 0-6 Cavan 0-5. Just three scores from play in that half, 2 from Kerry and Cavan 1.
Cavan will be the happier of the two at half time, outscored Kerry 0-5 to 0-1 in the last 15 minutes of the half and have the wind 2nd half although didn't seem to be a great advantage to Kerry 1st half.
From a Cavan point of view, very happy with scoreline after watching first 20 mins. Very disappointed with scoreline after witnessing last 5.
Cavan well in it after a slow enough start. Some good fielding on show. Defence is very loose though and when Kerry start working it in more against the breeze now, instead of shooting somewhat errantly as in the first half, the intricacy could unpick Cavan. All to play for anyway, hope we harness the elements and kick on now.
Cavan needed that goal after 42 minutes. Kerry 0-10 Cavan 1-5.
10 minutes to play Kerry lead 0-13 to 1-6
58 minutes played three in a row for Cavan. 0-13 to 1-9
Kerry working it in close at their ease, threading the needle as I feared. Amazed Cavan got to this stage with such a loose defence that routinely stands six feet off their men.
Goal was on there that could have been the winner. Kerry shitting the bed.
Kerry just with that little bit more class. Cavan boys had a few chances there that they should have done better with.
Kerry just about the better side. Cavan had their chances. Ref was simply not going to give Cavan a scoreable free there in the closing stages, no matter what. Definitely one nailed on one he ignored.
FT Kerry 0-14 Cavan 1-9. Main emotion for Kerry at full time was relief.

Yes a tap over free for Cavan before added time somehow ignored by the officials. Cavan not scoring for the first 15 minutes of the 1st half and 12 minutes before they scored in the 2nd half proved costly.

Kerry man was fouled as he was dipping the ball and he kept quiet as well in fairness to let Cavan turn it over on the 20m line.

You might well be right, but I was contrasting it more with the series of kickable scores Kerry got from him round the start of the second half. Anyway, Cavan could have rescued it on their own steam but typical of the age group found it hard to keep the heads at times. At least they raised a gallop near the end I suppose but largely they were architects of their own downfall there.
Everyone playing for the right to lose to Tyrone in the final, is still my opinion. Whatever about the others, they'd be too good for that Kerry outfit there today I reckon.
Definitely. Cork in line for an absolute schooling here I reckon.
Quote from: gallsman on June 07, 2025, 01:38:59 PMDefinitely. Cork in line for an absolute schooling here I reckon.
It could be absolutely car crash stuff - I'll be very surprised if Tyrone don't utterly destroy them.
Kerry the better team but we left it behind us.
Flying start for Tyrone. 1-3 to no score after 4 minutes. 1-9 to 0-5 after 20 minutes.
Goal for Cork, fine catch and finish. 1-9 to 1-6 after 25 minutes.
Half time Tyrone 1-13 Cork 1-7
45 minutes played. Tyrone 1-15 Cork 1-11
FT Tyrone 1-21 Cork 1-12. Cork fell away in the final quarter and their slow start to the game didn't help their cause either. Competitive in between
Are the rules the same for minor, u20 and senior?
Cork seemed to be happy with putting up a decent showing.
If we win v Louth I think we play Tyrone?
Kildare look useful in the Tier 2 final against Meath. They beat Cavan in the final last year.
Quote from: rodney trotter on June 07, 2025, 04:36:17 PMKildare look useful in the Tier 2 final against Meath. They beat Cavan in the final last year.
Done well so far to hold a Meath team that scored 3-20 v Monaghan and 6-11 v Donegal in their two previous games. Goal before the break gives Kildare a decent lead.
Half time Kildare 2-7 Meath 0-3
Good fight back by Meath as Kildare hold on for the win. Result Kildare 2-12 Meath 1-12

That's correct. Tyrone v the winners of Louth/Rossies.
Half time Louth 0-8 Roscommon 0-6. Full time Louth 0-14 Roscommon 0-14 extra time to find a winner.
Half time in extra time Roscommon 1-16 Louth 1-14. Full time Roscommon 1-19 Louth 2-15
The most dramatic of all U17 games played today was left to the last one. Wasteful Roscommon could be left with a lot of regrets had they lost but still managed to find a way to win in extra time. Hard luck to Louth Leinster final and today two narrow losses for them but plenty of talented footballers coming through and thats the main thing at this grade.
I'm a biteen biased maybe....but that was the most exciting game I've seen in years.
Quote from: Rossfan on June 07, 2025, 11:05:47 PMI'm a biteen biased maybe....but that was the most exciting game I've seen in years.
Well done the Roscommon. I'd say semi against ourselves will be back at Breffni.
Good start to Offaly v Mayo. Attacking football.
Half time looking good for Mayo as they lead 3-7 to 1-4
Mayo have left a few scores behind them and I am not sure a 9 point lead is sufficient against that breeze
Quote from: maigheo on June 08, 2025, 03:44:43 PMMayo have left a few scores behind them and I am not sure a 9 point lead is sufficient against that breeze
Yerra
6 point lead for Mayo with 20 minutes to play. 3-8 to 2-5
Another Offaly goal lead cut to three points. Moments before it Mayo had a good goal chance saved.
Offaly level it up with a 4th goal and then go in front 8 minutes left.
Mayo back in front with a two pointer.
Mayo edge it full time Mayo 3-13 Offaly 4-7
Another good game credit to both teams.
Semi-final line up in two weeks.
Roscommon v Tyrone
Kerry v Mayo.
Venues confirmed for the All-Ireland semi finals, Ulster and Munster champions and the two favourites will play in their own provinces.
Both this Sunday covered by TG4
Kerry v Mayo - Ennis at 3:30pm
Tyrone v Roscommon - Breffni Park 1:30pm
Back to normal Irish Summer weather for these 2 big games.
Best wishes to all the Ros players, manager and back room.
A tall order but hopefully we can do it against the Ulster giants.
The Roscommon lads holding their own here
Half time Tyrone 2-6 Roscommon 1-5. Strong finish to the half by Tyrone as it was 1-5 to 0-5 to the rossies 26 minutes played.
Thats my biggest pet peeve. Why are you forcing a goal there when you could drive the nail into the coffin and take a simple point?
The ref just black carded the wrong player? what are the umpires and linesmen doing?
7 mins left Tyrone lead by 5..
FT Tyrone 2-12 Roscommon 1-8. Tyrone never looked back when they scored 2-1 without reply in the final 4 minutes of the 1st half.
Good win for our lads. Defense stood up again. Not sure about our forwards though they don't seem to pass as much or as quick as they should. But anyways no point in focusing on the negatives when our underage team is in another all ireland final
Half time Kerry 1-7 Mayo 2-5
Kerr will be an awful loss. Incredible speed.
Tyrone v Kerry final... as we like it :D
Kerry 1-19 Mayo 3-10. Kerry two pointer free the last score of a very competitive game.
Tyrone should win it. Kerry pushed all the way by a Mayo team that wouldn't be considered to have any standout players really.
Quote from: Tubberman on June 22, 2025, 04:57:03 PMTyrone should win it. Kerry pushed all the way by a Mayo team that wouldn't be considered to have any standout players really.
Tyrone will need to play better than today, first half in particular wasn't great. The goal at the end of the half was key, took the wind right out of Roscommon's sails. Second half was comfortable enough.
Quote from: Tubberman on June 22, 2025, 04:57:03 PMTyrone should win it. Kerry pushed all the way by a Mayo team that wouldn't be considered to have any standout players really.
Conor Hession, Dara Flanagan and both midfielders are stand out players and will be suprise if they don't go on to impress further at U20 level.
Having seen both in action this year a few times, the competitive game with Kerry edging it went along the expected lines.
First game Roscommon was holding their own but the poor finish to the 1st half was the losing of the game. Tyrone 4 ahead a seen it out with yet another strong defensive team effort and do the same against Kerry they won't be beaten.
Tyrone will always be challenging for minor and U20 All-Irelands.
A good GAA culture in the county.
Brave effort by our ladeens but better team won unfortunately.
Tgec2 goals were killer blows but wecwere poor up front in the 2nd half.
3 points in the last 35 minutes🫤
Still we battled to the last whistle and hopefully a good number if the lads will make the steps up to U20 and Senior.
3 minutes added time in the second half.
Must have been 10 minutes of stoppages!
Hooter use needs to be extended!!

Thought yous were the better team 20-25 mins and as you say 2 Tyrone goals were huge.
When's the final
Final is July 5th.
Kerry a tad lucky in the end to come through today in Ennis. With a few mins to go it looked like we were in trouble but Gearoid White and a few others pulled it out of the fire in fairness.
Tyrone will be favourites for the final. I think Kerry will need to get 2/3 goals to win it.

Mayo u17s played 8 games in the championship and lost 4 of them. They got to a semi final by beating lietrim, Sligo and Offaly. On the other hand in ulster who's counties has dominated recent underage all Irelands a county to reach the same stage have to compete against top teams and 1 defeat may knock them out of the championship.
Never critising a 17yo, seeing a defeat as a success and telling them they are stand out players is what creates that losing mentality in mayo.

They also beat Galway FYI
The "only Offaly" team they bet were Leinster Champions.
Not sure what Tubberman was watching if he thinks Mayo had no "Standout Players". Will be a team of the year selected after this competition is over and will be a few Mayo players selected.
All Ireland final date of July 5th/6th was set in December with the master fixture list. With Croke Park no longer chosen for this age level any guesses for where this Kerry v Tyrone final will be played?
Portlaoise for the final venue?

True... though not sure bout the "god sake" part like hurling is a whole other foreign game. Is loads follow both codes and go to county hurling from Tyrone.
The Premiership more popular among young GAA supporters here than hurling.

Media reports say his West Ham contract started on July 1st. An oversight that this wasn't sorted before - seriously doubt it would have made a big difference for West Ham to agree to push it back by a few days, particularly when he has been playing for Tyrone already for months after agreeing the West Ham move.
A big loss for Tyrone but also a real shame for the boy himself. Potentially has a great career in soccer ahead of him but playing in an All Ireland football is a special opportunity.
If he plays, what's the worst that West Ham can/will do?

I'd say he is happy enough away to try and make millions whilst this is probably the biggest day most of his teammates will ever get. A real shame they didn't think of GAA when they where signing the contract.
All true. You would imagine that if he is as good as he is meant to be, West Ham are hardly going to tear up the contract if he plays the game

Would you jeopardise a million pound career if there was any risk? As great as it would be to play in an AI final, imagine getting so close to every kids dream just to miss out at the last second.
If he was playing for Kerry he wouldn't be moving until 18 with Brexit. Tough for Tyrone , but they knew he was joining in July so shouldn't be a shock.

I think any of us in that position would do what that lad has the chance to do at his age. Fair play to him.
Go and try it, like AFL or NFL. Live it and enjoy it for a year or two and see how it goes. If it doesn't work out after a year or two, come home and keep going at sport.
Depending how he goes, I don't think he'll be saying to himself in a year or two, ahh, I wish I had played in that minor final. That begrudgery at it's finest. He'll have banked a lot more life experiences that that.
Going by the stats it's going to be a tight one, Kerr out to swing it in Kerry's favour? Stats from gaelicstatsman

It used to be that if you played soccer then you couldn't play Gaelic.
Funny how things change 😮
Pity he can't play but one of those things. Some embarrassing posts on this.
I haven't seen much minor this year but the Ulster final he was fantastic. Seemed less prevalent in the semi but will obviously be a big loss.

Kerr Signed with West Ham on July 1st "I know he'll be watching on and cheering us on as best he can but unfortunately for us he's not here today." Tyrone's Ciaran Gourley tell TG4.
Whos managing Kerry Minors, they went 80m of the field there through about 12 handpasses.
Been poor enough so far
Not great but it looks like it'll be tight
Tyrone's defence will win it for them. Kerry's scores harder earned.

Could Kerr not have played anyway, like Kevin Moran used to do? I doubt anyone from West Ham can pick up TG4. Or use Twitter.
Quote from: gallsman on July 06, 2025, 01:54:07 PMTyrone's defence will win it for them. Kerry's scores harder earned.
Aye, they're swarming every time Kerry come forward. Tyrone look more physical all over the field. Kerry need to transition quicker.
Quote from: thebigfullforward on July 06, 2025, 01:57:28 PMAre you allowed to tackle anymore? Ref giving some handy frees to both teams
yeah - he has given both frees when they carried it into contact and got surrounded. Should have been frees the other way for holding on too long
Midfield going to cost us this game. Yep. Lost the ball and goal straight from it. Have said it all year
Half time Tyrone 0-8 Kerry 1-7. Kerry goal on 28 mins give them the lead at the break.
Sloppy end to the half from tyrone. Should have been in front but silly mistakes cost them about 1-2
Kerry look more dangerous in attack and their backs are not giving Tyrone much space. Enjoyable game after slow start.

Don't be a twat ffs.
Tyrone will be annoyed to find themselves two points behind at half time. Were the better team in that half and switched off in the final three of four minutes which you can't do against Kerry at any grade.
Not sure how jumping on someones back isn't a free
Tyrone did well to make it this far considering the problems we have in this team. Would like to see them at U20 level do well but can't see it. Some of these 'fouls' a joke too. Thought the whole point of the new rules was to see more physical play.
great recovery by tyrone #2 A goal there was the game
Kerry got a point from the 45 but it was harder to made a mess of that goal chance, than put it in the net.
tyrone so unlucky there
Crazy stuff in the Kerry goalmouth
Tyrone not taking the easy scores
Tyrone left two goals behind them but keeper v lucky. Great setup for finish
big finish ahead now
Tyrone really cranking it up the last 10 mins or so.
Might catch by 18 there!
Tyrone wastefulness will haunt them
that a shocking wide
Tyrone kicking this away. Feel they will regret it when Kerry get a late 2 pointer.

Tyrone misses are shocking, both in shot selection and execution.

Well done Tyrone. Thought kicked away. Great free from the no 11 to equalise.
Simultaneously just about deserved and lucky. Fair play to Tyrone, some incredible infrastructure they have.

Should have. People don't like the fisted point but it wins you games
Didn't see the first half. Criminal that Kerr wasn't there for it, such a missed opportunity for a young lad. f**k West Ham for not letting him start the contract a week late.
No.5 Quinn MOTM, thought Mulgrew in midfield or the full back were better.
Always nice to beat Kerry.
Such a fine margin All Ireland final, Tyrone did well to come back from 4 points behind with 12 minutes to play to end up winning by one. FT Tyrone 1-16 Kerry 1-15. First time Tyrone have won the Tom Markham Cup since 2010 they did win the U17 All Ireland in 2017 beating Roscommon in the final Darragh Canavan the stand out player in that one and will be intetesting to see how many of those Kerry and Tyrone players will go on to be established seniors.

Terrific interview here with Donnelly.
Mighty win! Double whammy beating Kerry. Tír Eoghain abú! 🏆
The treble is still on! Burns giving it large
Jarlath literally not knowing his left from his right.
Anyone else find Burns awful hard to listen to?

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).

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
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
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.
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?

Yes Mulgrew looks like one of a handful of Tyrone players today and in other games that should go on to be Senior county player so long as injuries don't get in the way or if another sport doesn't snap him up.
Good game after a slow nervy start by both. Don't think Kerry could have played any better did so much right but Tyrone found a way to win in end, fitness and conditioning very impressive for U17 team and they got big impact off their bench.

They didn't show a close up replay of the incident. Looked like it could have went either way. I'd say if it happened 10 mins earlier ref could have given it. No way he was gonna give it when it would have decided the match.
Great heart by the Tyrone lads to come back. That wind really seemed to pick up in second half and severely impacted shooting. In saying that some of the decision making wasn't great but most of those lads 16 so we can only salute the bravery, commitment and skill from both teams.

No penalty. Kerry lad looked like he was looking the foul and Tyrone didn't fall for it. Thought he could have fisted it over for an equaliser.

Genuinely don't see what others are seeing. He was better in this game than he was in previous but I just don't rate him. Would like to see the kickout statistics particularly in the first half because it seemed like Kerry were winning the large majority.

Yes the same as plenty lose interest once life,college work etc gets in the way. Yet It's rare that recall many that has stood out at this grade as Mulgrew has and didn't end up playing for their Club team years later.

I'm more patient than most when new players get to the senior county team. I've seen players call for R. Canavan, Teague, Niall Devlin and whoever else to be dropped after a few seasons. I always say it takes a good 3-4 years minimum before a player is ready for senior county. I just don't think some of them will be good enough for maybe U20s even
Great game.
Kerry must be sick to the back teeth of Tyrone at this stage.

And I wouldn't say club level. They'll be playing club level no doubt but haven't shown enough at this level that would suggest they'd be capable of senior county
Feel for the Kerry young fellas there.
Did very well for underdogs, but poor enough second half cost us.
Fair play to both teams, very entertaining game. We'll be seeing more of plenty of these guys at u20 and beyond.
Thought Tyrone were going to repeat the 2021 All Ireland Minor final again, when they were the better team but kicked it away rather than Meath winning it.
What's the story with rules at different grades? Hard to keep up. Some grades have all the new rules and others don't?

Like what? Only thing they didn't have today I think was the hooter, no?
There seemed to be a lot more leniency on some of the other rules compared to the seniors, which is understandable. I was expecting the ball moved on a few times for things like not handing the ball back immediately or tackling after the free was given but he seemed to hold back on that.
What a lot of Tyrone people are asking is why was Kerr on the panel?
It was well known he was going to West Ham.
So really he was taking up a place for another young fellow who was potentially going to play u20 or even senior.

The rationale is/was the management wanted a shiny cup.
It was well known this team was very good, next years team will be easily as good if not better.
Were West Ham even aware that he had been playing Gaelic up the Final? He signed for West Ham on May 26th but didn't officially join until July 1st for pre season. He had picked up a serious injury in that period it wouldn't have been a good look.

I have to say bigfullforward must be a relative of a jilted U17 midfielder. We are so proud of James - he is a great player and a great prospect for Tyrone. I thought he was unlucky not to get MOTM. He's a modest lad who is skilful and works hard every day. To say he is invisible is laughable. He finished the Championship with 0-17 from midfield - scoring in every game. The other 3 midfielders before today had 1-0, 0-2 & 0-1. A combined 1-3.
Well Done Tyrone and Well Done to Our very own James Mulgrew!!!!!
Mulgrew reminded me of Sean Cavanagh and Cormac at underage at times during that game.
Colton was very good.

Bit mad writing a lad off for seniors...and him only 16 or 17.
Let the lad develop in his own time.
Tyrone look likely to catch Cork and Dublin in near future who share second place for most titles with 11. Tyrone have 9.
Kerry of course at the top with 16.

The highest possible compliment. I agree re the Cavanagh comparison driving through. Cavanagh to my mind was THEE most important Tyrone player back then.....without him driving his team forward they wouldn't have won any of the All Ireland's in the noughties (in my opinion) whilst they could and did when a Muggsy or O Neill and even P Canavan wasn't there.
Off on a tangent there but I saw similarities with Cavanagh too.....driving through the middle at pace, though his feet appear to be better, silkier. Anyway he's no age so we'll just have to wait and see.
What a game though, winner unknown to the last second and every ball contested

I've seen ones right off R. Canavan, Daly, Devlin etc after a year or 2 in senior setup. I always say it takes until 23/24 until a player is ready for the seniors. I just don't think they stood out as much at that level as other people seem to think they have.

I have to say bigfullforward must be a relative of a jilted U17 midfielder. We are so proud of James - he is a great player and a great prospect for Tyrone. I thought he was unlucky not to get MOTM. He's a modest lad who is skilful and works hard every day. To say he is invisible is laughable. He finished the Championship with 0-17 from midfield - scoring in every game. The other 3 midfielders before today had 1-0, 0-2 & 0-1. A combined 1-3.
Well Done Tyrone and Well Done to Our very own James Mulgrew!!!!!
I don't recall saying he doesn't work hard or any of that. Absolutely fair play to him and well done. I just don't think they dominated in the middle of the park like others seem to think. Feels like Kerry won the majority of the 50/50 ball until our full back came up to win a few

Give it up. Young Mulgrew was superb yesterday and has been the whole campaign.
Is Darren McAnespie a brother of Monaghan footballer Ryan McAnespie?

Yeah. Be a bit of a unique one if he ended up making senior in a few years and played against Monaggsn with Ryan still about.

A lot of these clashes are down to provincial councils versus CCCC organising match times.
Yet another reason to get rid of the provincial councils.
Once integration goes through it's going to look even worse with ladies football and camogie games clashing.
They clash all the time currently but it at least can be blamed by having 3 different organisations. It will look a lot worse from a PR point when it is just one organisation arranging times (and they'll be a lot of grumbling about pitches as well).
Winning your province should guarantee a home draw.

I don't buy that excuse at all. CCCC if paying attention could avoid such clashes. They don't even do a good job with their own fixtures sure take last weekend. On Saturday Cavan v Westmeath overlapping once it went to extra-time with Armagh v Derry and the same happened on Sunday with Dublin v Louth and Monaghan v Mayo.
Given the amount of hits the senior provincial championships has taken the provincial councils have done very well to get big crowds at their matches. HQ care little All-Ireland underage competitions and they will continue to push for U19 grade which will mean U17 will no longer be in the public eye.
All on Saturday.
Cork v Meath at 2pm
Tyrone v Galway at 2pm
Kildare v Kerry at 3pm
Roscommon v Derry at 7pm
Tier two All-Ireland semi-finals also on Saturday
12:00 in Cullyhanna Louth v Monaghan (Louth 2-16 Monaghan 2-13 FT)
2pm in Scotstown Down v Donegal (Down 2-13 Donegal 1-20 AET)
Hopefully Meath can continue their upward trajectory in performance. Unlucky not to see out a win against Kildare but we have a decent team and
Liam O'Donaghue has some motor on him. Milo Stafford looks like a great prospect in the vein of Shane O'Rourke in his prime.

Cork do look a bit bigger overall. Cork's tackling technique looked very good as well. Turned over Meath players a number of time.
Cork black card has given Meath a bit of a lift. Cork 2-14 Meath 1-9
Galway 0-18 Tyrone 2-12 in the other game with 15 mins to play.

Looked the fitter team which is great to see. Some nice scores by both teams.
Wind appeared strong in Ashbourne. Tyrone scoring 1-8 against in proved the difference in the end as was the strong finish to the game to outscore Galway 2-5 to 0-1.

I know his was a black card Im talking about the refs failure to give an equally obv black card about 5 mins before for and hand trip/pull down.
Great win for the lads and our tradition of Star ng underage teams continues. The injury to McCrystal looked like a bad one, a shame for the lad and him captain.

Wonder what Tyrone are like for next year then? Think the only starter we have from last year is McCrystal then maybe another 4 or 5 were on the panel. That could be wrong though
Not the best quality in this Derry Roscommon game. Really rated Roscommon against Galway
Odds on Roscommon changing their free taker?
Quote from: thebigfullforward on June 06, 2026, 07:32:25 PMOdds on Roscommon changing their free taker?
Changed their free taker and still missing them. Derry very close to a 2nd goal before the break. Derry 1-5 Roscommon 0-2
Derry made a balls of that 2v1 on the 14m line,should been a def goal.
That 2 pointer and goal are the definition of a lifeline for Roscommon.
At the very least takes the bare look of the scoreline.
Serious response by Derry there after that to push the gap out to 7
10 minutes to play Derry 1-11 Roscommon 1-7
Derry gonna piss away another game!
The lack of the hooter means all these games are played out the proper way. There's none of that running down the clock that poisons the senior game.
2nd goal for Derry ends whatever hope Roscommon had of coming back.
FT Derry 2-12 Roscommon 1-9
That big black haired lad a skycraper for Derry on kickouts, bigger minor that Dan Higgins was.
And the ref moved the ball in because?
Derry doing changes for the sake of doing changes, and they been all over the place last 5 mins! Derry should won that by over 10pts, and that even if Roscommon hit half of what they missed
Quote from: Wildweasel74 on June 06, 2026, 08:19:24 PMAnd the ref moved the ball in because?
I'm assuming talking back. Didn't see anything else.
Disappointing for Meath but really not a shock. We did well to turn the season around after a poor start. Still need to be doing much better at underage though if we're to stay in the top tier for a sustained period.
John Prenty and co will need to examine the scheduling of their Connacht championship. May 8th since that final was played while the Ulster final was last Friday. Surely all provincial finals should be on the same weekend? Derry and Tyrone probably would have won regardless but closer than 6,7 point wins I can imagine.
Cork have impressed me in the few times I've seen them this year their best team at this grade since 2019 and are capable of beating Derry next but Derry do have the physical players to match them around the middle. Tyrone should beat Kildare by 2 or 3 points.
Disappointing end to a promising campaign.
At least we made a match of it in the second half but mullocks of kicks for 2 pointers meant we were never going to catch up.
As well as the *scheduling issue maybe the standard was poor in Connacht this year?
*Ros qualified for the CF late March/early April.

Was accommodating Schooling not one of the primary reasons for the (phoney baloney) changes from U18 to 17 and U21 to 20? Still seems like one of the stupidest and most counter productive things ever introduced by the GAA. And while i'm in the my 2 cents neighbourhood - removing minor championship games from before the Senior game, another mind blowingly bad change. Was there some child protection excuse attached to this IIRC?

And the excuse of player welfare even though back then all U21 and U18 Provincial championships was knock put football instead if round Robin group stages that we have now.

Cork v Derry not set yet.
From what I hear 3 lads on the Kildare team are sitting exams that day - what is wrong with playing it on a Saturday or Sunday
Shows CCCC have learnt little from scheduling the U20 All-Ireland semi-finals on a Wednesday night.
Was accommodating Schooling not one of the primary reasons for the (phoney baloney) changes from U18 to 17 and U21 to 20? Still seems like one of the stupidest and most counter productive things ever introduced by the GAA. And while i'm in the my 2 cents neighbourhood - removing minor championship games from before the Senior game, another mind blowingly bad change. Was there some child protection excuse attached to this IIRC?
The free staters supported changing it to u20s and u17s to suit themselves despite northern counties objecting to it. But even with the changes to accommodate the free state counties the last 3 minor championships have been won by either Derry or Tyrone with both teams in this years semi finals, and 3 of the previous 4 winners of the u20 championship before this year was Tyrone.

And then playing the game opposite the biggest game of the year so far!!
But derry will be used to that, their ulster semi v Donegal was on at the same time as Kerry v Donegal. Funnily enough, commentary from that game could be heard on the stream for the minor game on tg4 - presume the tg4 crew were actually watching it whilst filming the minor game - in fairness it was as bad a game of football as I've seen in many's a year, so I can understand why anything else would have been more attractive.
What's the rush to play these off like this, the senior final isn't until the end of July, there's loads of time and less busy weekends to fit these games in.
Absolutely agree btw that the moves to u20 and particularly u17 have not been positive and the decision not to play minor before senior any more has really diminished interest and prestige of the competition. And it's not as though all Ireland final day couldn't accommodate the games, they definitely added to the occasion and helped with crowd management. I have yet to meet one person in support of these changes, which maybe illustrates how few members of Congress I know, but does highlight the disconnect here.
90% of Congress voted against putting Minor AI Finals before Senior.

Yes, but a minor game before the final means another two counties looking for tickets, when there is already a problem with tickets.

Gobshites.
They run the GAA, not random anti change bucks on GAAboard ;)
The 2023 final had 13,754 at it, if it was before the All-Ireland Senior final that number would not have got tickets. Also, any games in double headers which are decided on the day need to be started so far ahead of the second game that it makes for a very long day if you are staying for both games. The gap between matches also means less overlap in the crowds (I have no evidence of this so don't ask for links).
At least TG4 give the teams a bit of exposure.

No, but for the players, nothing would have matched a near fill croker on all Ireland day. From memory, somewhere around 4,000 tickets tickets went to minor competing counties. This would have very limited impact on supporters of senior competing counties as you'd imagine a good portion of the 2,000 from each county would probably be going in any case.
I understand your point on double headers, they can be a long watch, but funnily enough I attended many minor and senior double headers and never had any issues - especially on finals day. Minor final played, trophy awarded, tension building before the big game, stadium filling up, I never found it a long day, nor did I find the many ulster championship double headers I attended in my young days overly arduous. And I don't ever recall seeing anyone leave an all Ireland final after the minor game and before the senior game, and since I was at the 2017 final where derry lost by 25 to David Clifford, I'd have been perfectly within my rights to walk out and drown my sorrows!!!

It's not that random and not all change is for the best. I think many agree that u18 was a better competition than u17 and the logic for change is a little dubious.
And just because 90% of Congress votes for something doesn't mean it's a good thing, it just reflects the politics and that the people driving the change were able to secure the needed votes.
As I say, when I discuss this topic or indeed, hear commentary in the media, it is pretty unanimous that playing minor games before big senior games should have been maintained and that u17 is poorer spectacle than u18, mainly due to the physical development of players.

Minor football was never meant to be a spectacle though. It should be about development of players. You can argue whether playing u17/20 or 18/21 develops them better but other sports don't use youth levels as pre-game entertainment. Most people involved in minor football agree with moving it away from the senior games.

Yes,
but we did, tradition and all that! Not all change is good or positive, some 'progressive' change is just self-defeating, this being a case in point IMO.

That doesn't mean we were right
Does anybody actually remember what was so wrong with it that the change had to come? I'd love someone to give us a run down and actually justify it.
Must be a decade in place and people still think it was all a load of horseshit.
People?

Good half of football
Tyrone 1-8 Kildare 1-7
Do our players know we are allowed to pass the ball and don't have to run through 4 men every single time and get bottled up?
10 minutes to go Tyrone 1-11 Kildare 1-11
Result Tyrone 1-15 Kildare 1-12
Make the game more physical but if you hit a man shoulder to shoulder it's a foul 😂
Kildare continue their tradition of some of the best athletic footballers in Ireland but can't score
Great to be in another underage all Ireland final. Our lads didn't click at all up front today and that heavy rain in second half disrupted any good football.
Hard luck to Kildare, your wee lad Reilly is some footballer, one to watch.

Whoever wins between Cork and Derry today would really fancy their chances of being champions.
Is that Derry who Tyrone comfortably beat a couple of weeks back?
Tyrone are in the final and Tyrone are Ulster Champions, Tyrone are the favourites.

Manner of their win against Cavan was name on the trophy type stuff.
Cork has their strongest Minor team since they last won this All-Ireland 7 years ago so will be interesting to see can Derry handle that challenge today.
Cork Minor Manager Keith Ricken certainly talking up his county.
Quote"There's always a great energy to Cork football. It mightn't always translate onto your senior team because it is cyclical, but I do genuinely feel there's a tsunami of Cork football coming again.
"I do genuinely believe that, and it's not because I'm involved with the minors, I just see it. I see the standard of football has gone up. I see the teams in the county, and I see the work they are putting in. I see the strength and conditioning. I see all this stuff being done and people going in the right direction. I see young boys going around, and they're very interested following the teams that are out there at the moment.
"I wouldn't do this if I was the only person that was getting a kick out of this thing. There's a greater cause in this. We genuinely believe in Cork football. There's a good cohort of people there that would have given their time over the last number of years, and they're tight. I've been on every side of it now at this stage, good and bad, and I've always felt that these people had my back."
I thought tyrone had to beat the referee last night too, same as galway. Seems to be the case outside of ulster the ref is always very sore on you. Some of the decisions were baffling.
Great game last night, kildare a very good team, that number 4 was everywhere. Tyrone missing their captain and the 7 last night whos a great player coming off injured could be a big blow. I fancy this cork team to win the whole thing though.
Cork beat Kerry twice (the first time they hammered them) and also hammered Meath in AI Quarter Final. For context that Meath team took Kildare to penalties and Tyrone got it tight last night. Cork definitely look the best team in it on any given form lines if they can get over Derry today

Tyrone were on a different level to Derry in the Ulster final to be honest, the final score flattered Derry hugely.

Cork hurlers play their All Ireland semi final on Saturday 4th July. Not sure if the GAA would even factor that in, they might still just fire the minor football in for the same day a couple of hours earlier
O'Moore Park Portlaoise used to the default venue for Ulster teams v Cork/Kerry.

He's finding Tyrone players more than his own so far.
Doesn't look like Cork are used to playing against a side with this sort of intensity. Getting turned over very easily in the tackle. Cork keeper has had a few issues already.
Cork goal chance off the crossbar on the counter Tyrone score a two pointer to lead 0-8 to 0-3. Another two pointer now 0-10 to 0-3 after 20 minutes.

Penalty to Tyrone. And scored 1-10 to 0-4
Half-time Tyrone 1-10 Cork 0-6
Are Cork missing many players here?
Jez cork are so poor
Serious change needed to make a game of this
Continuously taking ball into the tackle
Tyrone at a different kernel so far
Big wind in second half for Cork so it'll be tight if they can get a few early 2 pointers. Our lads playing well and the intensity in the tackle is fantastic. Hopefully big Meenan can get his running game moving in the second half as he's been relatively quiet so far.
Some incredible bits of skill. Daly is a handful, gormley exciting and Corry very classy

Well done Cork, a bit surprised they saw it out, looked a bit flakey, but its U17s. Hard luck Tyrone, production line keeps rolling.
Cork let the occasion get to them but settled eventually. Tyrone will have regrets, some of the forward play in particular. Very hard to be sure of what lads will come through to Senior, even more so from U17, but you wouldn't be surprised if Tyrone get more out of it than Cork. Tyrone Nr 6 best player on the pitch for me.
Tyrone lose both U-17 and U-20 finals this year after winning both last year.
Cork U17 footballers showed the senior hurlers how it's done. Big Cork following at the match, for all the success Tyrone have at underage it's still just mainly family members of the players that support their teams.

Worrying trend. Still , id prefer lads thinking they have work to do
Here's the Jarlath show
Some quite selfish play from the Tyrone forwards in that last quarter...a couple of goals attempts taken on when there was a man or two in much better positions to score.
Is Meenan carrying an injury? He hardly moved from the No 6 position during open play. Usually at the heart of everything running through the middle, can't think of one occasion he had a run with the ball.
Fair play to Cork lads for sticking at it and enjoy the celebrations, I'm sure these teams will lock horns again in the next few years at u20
Yeah silly enough of McGuckin to make that run and get dispossessed. Thought they were gonna do keep ball. Had enough chances to win, cork easily could have had few more goals

Meenagh has been sick all week. Heard on the pitch after. Hence the little movement but hes a big lad needed around the middle. Missing him, 7 went off after 20 minutes and captain injured, seriously unlucky. Thought the ref was very sore on us after the penalty. Seen someone talk about the keeper foul, he won the ball, shouldn't even have been a free
Didn't know the minor final was even on today.
Never even seen it advertised
Cork were quite fumblesome and error-strewn for a lot of that but with so much possession in the second half they eventually made it count. Tyrone looked a lot sharper and better-coached early on but with the wind after the break, Cork eventually made hay. I wouldn't say Tyrone will fret too much having won a pile at underage already and plenty of evidence the pipeline isn't running dry any time soon.

7 for All-Ireland winners Cork
6 for the All-Ireland runners up Tyrone
2 for Leinster champions and All-Ireland semi-finalists Kildare.
A surprise to see none from Derry who reached the last four or Roscommon who won Connacht winning 5 of their 6 championship matches.
Surprised Conan Canavan didn't get one.

Like the "All stars", start at Final, work back till you reach 15.
As a neutral, surprised Cavan didn't have at least one
