The crux of the game right there imo, these two will need 6 points between them for the Dubs to have any chance. Keep these quiet and Kerry will tap over handy scores to win comfortably. Dubs don't have the luxury.

Reading your posts i think you were on a bit of a wind up last night but anyway. The last time these two sides met in the championship Dublin scored 3-18 and had 12 different scorers. They aren't reliant on Flynn or Connolly. They proved that in their most recent game.

Sure the lads have never been here before ProudDub they don't know what to do, and we are playing unfamiliar shapeshifters with medals spilling out of their arises and a manager who's grown two extra brains in two years. If you write is down enough it will become the truth and we have that terrible knack of building ourselves up to an unreasonable level, that's bound to backfire on us again .

We have no luxaries at all bar two lads who haven't kicked a ball all year. We haven't beaten anyone either, Mayo were rubbish by all accounts no midfield and they were terrible unlucky too, but they'd still be terrible if the were playing tomorrow. We did beat Kildare but they were rubbish back then, they got a lot better after they beat Cork.

The only things we have going for us is the ref, luck and home advantage.

Anyone want to buy my ticket ? No point even going to this game.:)

But what we will never have had is some tough games in Leinster, Leinster is terrible only one team, its unfair that Dublin don't get tough games which means they are untried but also fresh depending on which argument you want to make on a particular day.

Home advantage? :eek: When did they switch the game to Parnell Park? How are they going to get 82,300 people in there? I have a Hogan Stand ticket, so where do I sit now? Are all the upper decks people going to have to sit on the rooves of the stand and terraces? It'll be a logistical nightmare. What about the poor Kerry folk? Most of them won't have a clue where Parnell Park is, though a few of our fans won't either.

Ah now I'm hearing the throw in may be delayed to offer the fans a last chance to get back from the Longford v Dublin championship match of 06, they are still ringing Joe to look for directions on how to get back to the city from this epic crusade.

Ah yes, 2006 in Longford. That is two years after our last home match in the championship. Teams like Longford are lucky to get home games in the championship. It is something us Dubs can only dream about. We've been waiting 11 years for it, and the wait goes on. Ironically, with all the complaints that Dublin did not play Longford in Longford this year, Longford subsequently gave up home advantage and played Kildare in Mullingar, their second match at a neutral venue in the championship, having already played Dublin in Croke Park.

ProudDUB

I'd give my grannies left testicle to be from Longford right now. Or Carlow. Or Leitrim. Or anyone of those other makey uppy counties. That sick feeling in the pit of the stomach is here & it won't go away for the next 24 hours and 70 minutes.

I'd say most fans of both teams would not have a clue where Parnell Park is,or indeed ever been there.

I do so enjoy people saying that Dubs don't travel for games, and the glazed look in their eyes when I tell them about my 300 mile round trip journey to croker usually in the one day.

Know that's not the point you were making flukey, annoys me the fair weathers can get tickets no problem and I do have to scramble at times!

ProudDUB

Sure at away league games, the Dubs usually out number the locals half the time.

I'll be at as many as possible anyway, that usually means all of them maybe missing one.

There should be more season tickets for lads like yourself GaaMan.a

Looking forward to these trips already.

ProudDUB

Do the last round of league games not have the same throw in time.... 3 o'clock on the Sunday?

I think that's the provisional list of fixtures...who plays who in each round is set, but the specific time and day is yet to be confirmed.

Bret Hart

Not long now till Des and Grainne. Looking forward too seeing what Grainne will have on tonight.

ProudDUB

She was wearing some sort of weird leather outfit in the promo. That'll float a few boats here...others not so much...:P

Christ, if I am getting this emotional seeing the Dublin flag being carried into the RTE studio, for the 3rd time in 4 years, what kind of a state will I be in, this time tomorrow?

Maith an fear !

Bret Hart

Never gets old seeing Kevin Macs goal. The Hill when it went it just exploded,never seen anything like it.

ProudDUB

It's a shame Tomas O'Se was so media shy during his playing days, coz he's great craic.

Yeah seems like a nice lad, although I like my sportsmen to not be interviewed as it often leads to disappointment.
