Rubbish. Mayo were at Croker 2hrs before the throw in for their game. Look what the LGFA did was amateur but Galway really need to realise that only arriving at the stadium at 12:30 was their decision. Zero wriggleroom for the unexpected.

Croker has massive dressing rooms, with loads of other space. Parnell Park dressing rooms are fairly small.

Completely went over my head that there were two games on tonight.
I saw on the Connacht GAA site they are streaming the minor tomorrow.

Clicked it expecting it to be free... €7.50. I'd find it hard to believe many outside of family and friends will be paying that much to watch a minor cake walk.

Slaughter of the innocents. Its hard to believe Laois could be this far off the pace in Minor. They'd have been better off playing one of the u16 development squads, they'd have got a better game.

I don't watch much camogie so I can't really comment on the quality of this game too much but I thought it'd be closer to watching hurling considering the talk at the start about rule changes. It's still definitely its own thing.

More importantly than that Galway are winning.

The quality of the basic skills is absolutely shocking. Grand when they get the ball in their hand but their picking technique, particularly in rucks in really poor. Given that camogie is a game of ruck after ruck due to poor first touch then any team that nailed down that basic skill would be halfway to winning an all ireland. A decent u14 boys team would give any of them a game.

The pass to Gaule was a throw in the first place. Pulled galway for a less obvious one when through on goal in the first half

The penalty was a huge decision. When you consider some of stuff that he had let go during the game to give a penalty at such a crucial time in the match was a massive call.

Cathal murray had a poor game aswell, he should've brought rebecca Hennelly as half time for hanniffy and should've left O'Rielly closer to goal. It was a game we could've won. As for the hurlers, we are not that far away from limerick and there are nice few athletic hurlers on the u20 aswell.

No James Mclaughlin. Has a knee problem. Big loss.

Friggin ref keeping KK in this match with dodgy frees, just like the senior match a few weeks back.

Was going to post I didn't see where he was getting a few of the frees out of. Almost a free if you look at Cody.

Genuinely poor referee.

For a very young and very light ladeen that McDonagh is a lovely little hurler

Should be 6 or 7 up. By far the better team. McDonagh is some operator. TJ Brennan looks a serious player too.

If senior keeps going the way its going he won't have a future there. He'll just be horsed out of it.

Alex connaire seems a great prospect also

Fleming at full forward has the beating of the full back if he runs at him. The full back is now on a yellow, so it's time to test that full back line again, I feel.

Do refs just not pull for over carrying anymore? Very noticeable in this game and in a good few senior games too. Some blatant frees missed

Let alone steps it was a 65 up the other end

The goalie will give Eanna Murphy some sleepless nights too. Good shot stopper and distributor

Costly as the goal came from the following puck out

Useless **** of a ref. How is that not a second yellow.

He had fouled once or twice since his first yellow. He's really skating on thin ice.

Tj brennan playing well at number 3

Trying to follow the minor football on WTS. Is that lround robin league or championship?

benji79

Is that lynsky a bit of a clown lads?

I know little about him bar he was a successful minor manager. Can’t say I’ve taken to him there tonight. Or the guy with him
