Dublin GAA Discussion Thread MOD WARNING POST #2944

Niiiiiice.

Should be able to fcuk with a lotta heads in Mayo and Kerry with that line up. Which of course, is the ultimate aim from here on out. (Sorry Carlow.) Great to see Con and Scully get their chance. Really hope that line up starts.


It's a big no from me for Anthony Cunninham. Left Galway under a very toxic cloud. We already have one of our own. We really don't need to be importing anyone elses. He has too much baggage. He also does not have a good reputation as a good man manager, in tune with the modern methods of handling players. We already have someone like that and it hasn't worked out well. The Galway players, the county board, the contentious club politics are not entirely blameless either. We all have our opinions on what happened, but we'll probably never know all the rights or wrongs involved. But what we do know, is that AC alienated a significant number of his own players. He then dug his feet in and found himself mired in a very nasty situation. I want our next manager to be someone who is able to avoid creating or getting involved in those kinds of toxic environments in the first place. Not too much to ask surely.

Couldn't really give a fcuk how ye line up more like. (Sorry Carlow).

Bonniedog

Dublin - 19 on the spread, and 4/9 to score 3 goals or more! Not much to tempt a chap.

You should, Lee Keegan's great granddad was from Carlow. Same for the O'Connors. No natural footballing blood in Mayo at all !!!

Carlow +19.5
Kildare -2.5
Louth +5.5

Works out @ 4.94 to help a fella on the road to riches .. I'll be the one on the terrace this evening roaring at them to take their points if the margin gets above 12 with 10 mins to go

Bonniedog

I had them one time on similar bet and they won by some ridiculous margin after scoring a late goal, at which point I uttered "Ah for fks sake."

Which earned some strange glances! so be careful out there Doc!

No frontiers was great so long as she was somewhere warm and sunny and not in Fecking Iceland.

Dublin haven't scored 3 goals in a game in a long time iirc. Our winning margin in Leinster last year was down quite a bit on previous years too. Carlow +19 and Dublin scoring 2 goals or less for the money.

Having said that i'm hoping young Con ends up with 3-10 from play sparking an absolute rout.:D

Bonniedog

Anyone remember the last time Dublin played Carlow? In championship I mean. They'd played one another in O'Byrne a few times.

I think last time Carlow beat Dublin was in 1944!

Bonniedog

Last time they met was 1978. Dublin 6 - 15 Carlow 2 - 9.

John McCarthy, father of James, scored 3 - 7!

Ah here. How do you know that? :eek:

Knowing where Lee Keegan's great grandpappy is from, is borderline stalkerish. I really hope that factoid only entered yer noggin, coz a Lee Keegan interview was printed beside something worth reading, like the winning Lottery numbers, Arlene Fosters thoughts on who will win Ulster this year, or the price of pork bellies in Botswana.

Setting out soon, on the great trek west, south, south-west to that place half an hour from the Red Cow, with the big pitstop restauranty building, that's not called Barack Obama Plaza. Ya know, the other one...the one with the great donuts and the Xmas pudding muffins in December.....yeah, there.

Go forth and prosper Dubs !

ProudDUB

Fightin' words from the Carla crowd.

Love it !

Scored six goals that day and still only won by 18. Very tempted..!

Just wondering could somebody educate me about the development of Cuala GAA.

Where would their main club house/grounds be based? I'm aware they operate from a number of different locations so I was just wondering where would their main club house, pitch and grounds be? Not a Dub but I like to take a trip out to see their set up while in Dublin.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I remember when they opened the new ground in the 90's was at a challenge game for the hurlers and footballers

Johnny Barr, Keith's brother ran past me know the line and his leg just broke, we all heard it like snapping a stick . He was is agony.

Bret Hart

Is Dermo at risk of a suspension when he picks up his next black card ? If so I'm sure Jim will advise him too pick it up tonight,so as too not have it hanging over him for the rest of the championship.

Is there some rule in the media that every time dublin play now there has to be some Mayo whinger like Moran in the commnetary box?

Carlow have ye rattled lads... so much so that Kilkenny lost the plot and kicked a point.

He sounds like he had a good night anyway!

gormdubhgorm

First half over Fair play to Carlow they have thier tactics right so far.

The other counties in leinster should take note.

In fact the other counties in leinster should be ashamed at themselves. If Carlow can do this what are the likes of Meath and Kildare up to?
