    Good refereeing, Goulding dived straight into the tackle.

    Charging.

    Think Marty Duffy is making questionable decisions.

    No suprise!

    Conroy making excellent use of posession. This big pitch suits Galway.

    Well the shock is on!

    Surely Cork will up it 2nd half? This is a poor Galway team

    Why use hawkeye. Just for show I think.

    It was obviously wide. Would the umpire not look up and just wave no over to the lad with the flag?

    No ref/umpire combo will want to be first one who makes a definitive call that is later proven wrong when Hawkeye was available.
    When that inevitably happens I'd expect more and more of these 'obvious' decisions to go to Hawkeye.

    Hopefully Shane Walsh can get an early score. He's a serious prospect, but still very young.

    Galway putting on a display (at least as far as we're concerned!), well worth the lead at half-time. Cork not playing as a team is in stark contrast to Galway's team work, plenty of runners supporting the man off the ball and it's causing Cork an awful lot of problems. Cork in trouble, but HT could give them the kick in the hole they need. The 10-15 after the break will tell a lot, Galway look the fitter and hungrier team in the first half. C'mon now Galway push on! Cork there for the taking.

    Gaillimh Abú

    Donegal v Laois sounds like a load of shíte.

    Point apiece.

    Don't think Laois want to play by the sounds of it. Seem to be getting in people's faces.

    Don't know why people are calling this a shock. The Cork morale is a shambles. Sure if they worked hard and applied themselves they'd take Galway to the cleaners but the warning signs have been there for a while now. None of them working for the manager.

    They're not that bad. They're young and most of them have won All Ireland minors/u21s. Despite what some people think, you don't win an all ireland at any level if you can't play a bit.

    Good footballers yeah, yet to mould into a good senior team, this run in the qualifiers will do them the world of good though

    I love the way this Premier Sports channel is promoting Swedish Speedway during the ad breaks as though there's some serious action we're all missing out on if we don't subscribe.:)

    It's a shock for the simple fact that the Cork panel is 3 or 4 levels up from this Galway panel. But Galway have beaten Cork in their 2 last victorious U-21 champo's, and a lot of this team would have been part of either of those, no fear in Galway of Cork.

    Just regards to players playing well from Galway pov, every one playing well but particularly Duane, Conroy and Meehan. Sice and Denvir doing a lot of running also, with Hanley his usual excellent self.

    Ref calling a lot of frees for fouls 50 yards away from the action (on both sides), strange to see but can't complain I suppose.

    Doesn't look to be lacking confidence which is good.

    He's the best underage talent I've ever seen in Gaelic Football. If he fulfills his potential he will be phenomenal.

    I remember watching Aidan O Se when he was minor and being more impressed than I am with Shane Walsh

    Galway really needed the opener in the 2nd half.

    This is exactly what happened in rugby. Even obvious trys are now sent to the TMO.

    Galways forward movement has been excellent.

    What. A. Point.

    Meehan seems to get confused occasionally now that he's a bit limited pace wise. Years ago he would have burned Cadogan there and put it in the net
