Anyone got DCB email about PP pass yet? Was supposed to before weekend,

I'm not expecting an email. I would have thought it would be a letter in the post.

21s final should be interesting. Neither team was expected to win their semi final so hard to predict. Galway were very impressive for most of the game against Kerry - although Kerry and O'Connor seemed to have believed all they needed to do was turn up - but struggled in ordinary time against Sligo.

Dublin have won all their games comfortably and never been stretched. They are either very good or have not been tested. We shall find out soon!

It's a good tight game so far, couple of black card calls ref's just getting on with it

I didn't think they beat Donegal tbh

Slattsy

Game over.

Playing great attacking football here

Stoner

Great goal the Galway fullback was cursed by the halftime analisys

Slattsy

That Galway keeper is at least 35.

Stoner

F all wrong with the Galway lad there

He pulled a good stroke there all the same.

Slattsy

Great goal. But if the lads had any cop on they'd have taken him down along the way.

Game on!!!

Slattsy

Wtf was that

Stoner

Terrible goal to give away

Stoner

Second chance at it great score

Howard's having some game

Slattsy

That'll do pig, that'll do.

Slattsy

Didnt have ponytails in my day lads. No way Jose.

ProudDUB

Sin e !

Bloody well done lads.

Slattsy

They're a bit windy!!

Stoner

That was some kick pass by Gavin

Great win

The last Under 21 champions,

For the moment....

Two sides went at it gave it a right go.

Bret Hart

Scoreline very much doesn't reflect the dominance we had for the 60 plus minutes of the game.

Galway Bay FM shyting on about the usual aul guff afterwards. Stay classy now lads !

About what though

I think their second goal was an og. Their midfield never showed up today Imo there was a decent platform to launch an attack for most of the game

Slattsy

Thought we were 10 points better.

Missed a few sitters too.

Bonniedog

Great win. Sad that it is last of that grade.

Dublin enjoyed a huge advantage in terms of pace and athleticism. Most of the Galway lads just couldn't compete. How many times were Galway forwards beaten to the ball by their markers for example. The Dublin full back line could afford to give a couple of yards head start and still expect to get there first. Galway 7 and 3 were the only exceptions. Both were excellent.

Anyway....serious team Dublin and a great achievement.

Bonniedog

Pity the other fkers didn't get to final :-)

Stoner

Not so sure that their number 3 had a great game overall. Thought he had a great first half but not so much in the second half. There was a penno, a complete fluff of a chance before the second goal and two great saves by their keeper. He struggled with his man's change of style after the break. When you have a keeper who's that commanding it's a great platform for number three, a number of times the keeper flattened forwards under a dropping ball or coming out with it old school, I'd imagine he's played fullback in the past.

I thought he looked ridiculously heavy in the Kerry game, but Donegal have had that type of keeper too big but a good stopper and back up number 3

For example the Galway second goal would never have been scored against them.

Bonniedog

Galway full back was outstanding. In a game they lost he should really have won MOM. Our fellas were good.

Uh oh ! Has someone been drinking from the Kulchie Kola Kool Aid? :eek:

They are not natural footballers.

You're a strange bunch to be constantly threatened by such comments.

Being fast and agile helps in a field game on a large pitch. To a man Dublin were fast and agile. Galway weren't.

I think the way Galway played in the second half had a part to play in that. They went chasing the game and left their full back line awfully exposed. He had to watch O'Callaghan and numerous unchallenged runners coming through the middle. Unenviable task.
