Official All Ireland Minor and U20 Hurling & Football Thread (Part 2)

[Galaxy]

Offaly will be happy with that result I think. Cork really dominated last 20 minutes but wides killed them.
Should be a cracking final in nowlan Park, repeat of 2022 minor final.

You take the decisions on the chin.

Limerick were denied a clear 65 in 19 and the end.

Their response was to win the next four all Irelands. Not whinge.

Very surprised by corks reaction.

I don’t know lads, I know he’s right there and it is his job, fair enough. But I didn’t see it in real time, neither did the commentators, the Cork player standing a foot away didn’t try and claim it (now Cork did claim for a free in for lying on the ball which I think they were right in).

It looks obvious when you slow it down but I wouldn’t be certain that a referee acting as an umpire calls that either.

That’s it.

I’d have no doubt the guy feels absolutely awful tonight and social media alight with all these hindsight heroes
And a few even suggesting he did even see it.

The same lads no doubt whinging about an umpire making the right call last Sunday.

No ref no games.

We all make mistakes at the end of the day.

2 Munster underage titles for the premier - a great week for the land of milk and honey!

[anotheryear]

A fine entertaining game of hurling with many talking points throughout, notably the blind umpire, the cynical rugby tackle (only punished at IC Snr with a black card and penalty), the cork wides, the time the free takers took and ultimately the winning score.

King’s County out quickly with the ticket details - they will take over Nowlan Park

The natural order is well on its way to being restored.

Where Tipperary lead, Ireland follows

Should have applied to Cork at weekend and didn’t so I’d say you’re right.

They used to say Tipperary for the men, we’ll be back there again.

Tipp cunts wanking themselves furiously over a dubious wins against cork cunts…

Big day for you in the Utd thread tomorrow, get some sleep.

I await your tears in due course

@ousmanedembele

The players put in too much work for the game to be at the mercy of the referee’s relatives.

Wides lose games, not umpires

I would suggest that no one over 40 be eligible for eyesight reliability

Eye tests for all

[Turenne]

They hit about 16 wides, they didn’t want to win.

[Special_Olympiakos]

Very ordinary Tipperary team. They would want to be wary of the Offaly revenge motive, lots of hurt from that minor final. Think the Biffos will beat them well.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Be surprised if we win it this year. Would expect us to win it next. Already overachieving this season.

The two best teams this year at u20 grade were Cork & KK who both did spectacular bottle jobs to lose.

Tipp, Offaly, Clare and possibly Galway be all thereabouts next year.

Ordinary Tipp team may be a tad harsh, there’s a huge amount of good players on that team. McCarthy, O Donoghue, O Farrell, Daly, Horgan and O Halloran.

Funnily enough the U20B Hurling final is in Croke Park today- where non Munster/Leinster teams get their chance. On TG4 YouTube

Roscommon vs Down

Eyes probably to be on Seán Canning (nephew of Joe) for Roscommon. Wild player but is excellent
