Fair play to Mayo but they'll get a rude awakening in the final when they play a decent team. Has a team ever had such a handy run to a final?

Louth absolutely shite the togs here, constantly running into traffic, shooting horrendous and gifting Mayo the game. Big Grimes is some unit but not much football in him.

Too many greedy lads in that 2nd half doing their own thing. Amount of times they ran into traffic was crazy.

16-17 year olds, hopefully a good learning experience.

Exactly this... numerous times they had other, better, options and went for glory. One lad in particular was incredibly greedy imo.

The ref was ridiculously harsh on us I felt...reffed it to give the team getting well beat a chance...very similar tackles not given as frees for us...very frustrating.

Big Meenan obv wasn't right, he clearly stepped back when in open play and didn't get involved. Real shame for the fella.

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

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.

[Rewatched the semi final last night for first time since actually being at it. We actually had the perfect first half bar taking our opportunities.]

Absolutely cleaned Kerry out in midfield and they had an off day themselves, their goal just before half time was the killer.

McCurry just didn't have the shooting boots on and DC didn't get on much ball at all.

Kerry are outrageous favourites tomorrow but if we can get our efficiency up around 70% and kerry have a rare odd day then we might have the smallest chance. Tyrone will always bring that confidence and even thought Kerry have beat us well the last two times we met our lads will fully believe they can win.

sounds familiar!

Kerry can be beat, other teams just need to have a real cut at it and take their opportunities. This is the big unknown for us as well have the potential to turn it on on any given day, whether we do or not will be clear around 7pm on Saturday.

Where did you watch it back?

One thing I'd like to see is a ruthlessness if a goal opportunity is presented. Think this is the only way we'll take them, scoring at least 3 goals like 2021.

What's the chances of a curve ball to negate their wall in the half forward line?

Could we see Seanie O'D replaced with someone like Ben O'Donnell or Lorcan McGarity? Someone that might match up to and challenge them in the air?

Don't get the hype about Galway, they've beaten 2 division 3 teams one of which was beat out the gate by Monaghan. Yes they get some eye catching scores but have been beat by the only division 1 team they've played.

Tyrone have better form beating 2 division 1 teams in the past 2 weeks.

Would def cheer them on in a final if we don't get there but along way to go yet.

I can't see Westmeath/Tyrone/Dublin/Mayo/Monaghan getting further than a QF. Certainly not AI contenders anyway in my view.

If Tyrone drew Monaghan/Westmeath/Dublin/ Meath I'd be very disappointed if we didn't get through to the semi final and it wouldn't be a massive surprise either to see them beat Donegal or Armagh given we'll have the weeks rest. I don't think we have a chance v Kerry at any stage we may play them.

Really? 
Actually of all the quarter final possibilities from a Meath point of view I'd take Tyrone above all the other possibilities. Apart from Kildare worst team we played in league. I mean woeful. And at one stage during early rounds was looking like ye were heading to TC . So on that basis I can't see how you could be happy to meet Meath should we get over mayo. Now on other hand Meath would be very happy to play Tyrone. As I think it would be a guaranteed semi final spot

I'm just heartbroken broken that DunneRoyal will not get the chance to watch his mighty Meath men put manners on ourselves to stroll into an AI semi final. Suppose beating Mayo isn't for everyone, even with a ten point lead in a second half.

Armagh have always played that robotic, over thought football...they've enough talent to let the handbrake off and just go for it. They have no option now but go for it 100%, will be interesting to see if they have the bravery to do it

Sweet christ that is unforgivable, Jarly Og fault for a terrible handpass into McElroy

Bright start by Armagh here

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.
