Replying To Alwaysencourage:  "What is the story with the new rules and under 20?There is supposed to be a hooter yet the referee has not used it in Galways last two games and has blown up both games as Galway were attacking for levelling scores.There is either a rule or there isn't."
Not every ground has a hooter. The same as very few grounds have hawk eye. There was 3 additional minutes added at the end of the second half. The referee played almost 5 mins

In my opinion a big problem in Galway underage at moment is not having club football run on even number ages at under 16 level there are only 3-4 matches starts in mid aug joke really and in reality them same players are expected to play on ur county team few months later madness under 16 soccer player. Guarantee 18 matches at there own age football max 4

Every county ground is supposed to have a hooter.They had one in Cloone in Leitrim.They have one in Tuam which the ref refused to use.He blew it up at just over 3 mins cos I was there.

I do think we have a problem between 17 and 20 at the moment in Galway. I'm not sure what exactly is happening but the development is not what it should be and I've seen it first hand. Sligo were much more physical than us and a stronger team. It's been happening a while now, that key development area between 17 and 20 whether clubs, colleges, county and third level is not where it needs be. Any opinions
