Given how well Higgins tends to play in a freer role though, I'd be reluctant to tie him down to man-marking Brogan,

Well he could be used better than leaving him on a man who cant run like he was on O'Gara in 2013, that will be one of our concerns on Sunday anyway, faster decisions on the line from Mayo, we suffered from it in 2012 too, its frustrating when it happens.

I think Dublin will win by somewhere between 27 and 29 points, mainly due to a bunch of soft, lucky rubbish goals that anyone would score!!!

Anyway, better take this back to the Mayo discussion thread before we get lynched! ;-)

No need. You can stay on in here. Us Dubs don't like to talk about ourselves in the lead up to games.

ProudDUB · 25-08-2015 01:59PM

Ah no, don't go. Yer great craic. We've had great fun playing the "Keep the feckin' hype down, fer Jayzus sake lads ! " game, over the past few weeks. All the practice we got with Mayo, will come in dead handy when have to face 3 more weeks of it with Kerry. Cheers !

But before ye go....

....the all important question...

Tayto or King?

Ah jaysis yer gas ... King for me

We've exhausted our drinking palaces, ticketing problems and junk food foibles .. if yiz can't keep the ruse going we're looking at discussing the match sooner rather than later ...

DoctaDee · 25-08-2015 02:08PM

Weren't King the Dublin crisps ? .. (Parnell Street I remember the orange bag :rolleyes:) .. and the other lot loved their tayto ? .... I think they're both made by the same company now in Mordor .. nothings sacred anymore

They were indeed.

King were made in Inchicore in the Jamestown Ind Est and Tayto were Coolock's own (an inferior crisp) for distribution to the rest of the country.

Both are now made by Largo out in "Mordor".

ok I'll stop trying to talk about football so.

Anyway ProudDub. We are welcoming our friends from the West Of Ireland now. You need to demonstrate some more understanding of the different diet they enjoy in that part of the world.

That's Golden Wonder territory

Them were the days ... I remember as a chungfellid, us going for the "Sunday Drive" and getting back to the Ballymun House - a bottle of TK between 3 and the big bag of King Pub Crisps (were they extra salty to keep the aul chaps guzzling I wonder ?)

Slattsy · 25-08-2015 02:22PM

Manhatton crisps for me.

With a pint on a Monday

Gone are the days where you could climb over the rail tracks in Ballyer and take a stash of King and leg it up to C&C and take a stash of TK Red also.

My long range weather forecast for Sunday appears pretty decent actually. Only a slight chance of a shower.

ProudDUB · 25-08-2015 02:59PM

It's true though. The Stoneybatter ratio of man buns to the short back and sides that yer mammy, God and nature intended you to have, is probably the worst in the country. Terrible carry on altogether ! :rolleyes:

Thinks about cycling into town to collect PP ticket.

.....looks out window....

....fecks sake....its supposed to be shaggin August !!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

C'mere to me Herr Docta, did the Ballyer do double duty as The Pappin in Love/Hate? It's been bugging me. I knew that I recognized it from some where, but it only just dawned on me there, when the mother mentioned the trips to the great fish shop that used to be there beside Shaws, back in the day. We Glasnevin snobs deemed it worthy of a visit for our Friday fish, despite the rather...eh....interesting.....locals.

The Cottage (Lord rest it) in Bluebell did the double for it.

ProudDUB · 25-08-2015 03:04PM

The interior or the exterior? Coz the over head exterior shots have a Supervalu just beside it and there really is a Supervalu just beside the Ballyer.

Interior from what I remember. I haven't seen anything of L/H since season 3 so I could be leading you up the path.

Ah here, the rain won't do you any harm. You'll have our country cousins laughing at us. I didn't melt when it started on me in town today. If it rains on Sunday, will you stay at home? Now get off your ass, and go get that ticket. We need you on Sunday.:)

Everyone tells me that I'd really enjoy L/H .. hand on heart I haven't seen a single episode

Right we need to get this straight:

Ballyer=Ballyfermot, the cesspool from whence I came from

The Mun=Ballymun, Northside, near the airport. Cause of my first driving test failure.

I've never seen any more than 10 minutes of Love/Hate - i thought it was crap tbh.

I've also only been on the Luas twice.

And i dont know what a tracker mortgage is.

I was on the Luas twice today, to go in to get my ticket and to get home. I'll be on it twice on Sunday too, hopefully in a good mood coming home, and not just from having a few pints.

On neither journey today did I hear anyone mention tracker mortgages. I think it is only people on buses that don't know what a tracker mortgage is.

DoctaDee · 25-08-2015 06:28PM

I think if the script writers rode the Connolly to Heuston Luas they'd had more than enough material for an episode of Love/Hate. Between the unfortunates getting on from the Methadone Clinic and those heading up for a visit with the judiciary it's a fly on the wall type experience.
