Dublin GAA Discussion Thread - Capital Punishment

Time to go back to Parnell Park next season. All for having league matches in HQ if there’s 30k plus going but no need for it anymore.

Good win for the Dubs. Makes for a decent night next week in Tralee.

I think PP should be home for footballers too. Can always ask for a change if it is game that will obviously appeal to more than the 10,000 or so there last night.

East Fife jacket is disturbingly similar to Vinnies I also noted!

Handy win for the hurlers. Good to see Whitley coming on and making a mark. Kenny starting to play him in proper role.

Big news is Galway drawing with Carlow! Must be biggest shock in league since Down beat Cats about 35 years ago?

ProudDUB

Yeah & Galway had Big Joe out for a spin, so no excuses there. Carlow & Monaghan putting a lot of the so called "elite" counties, with much bigger populations to shame these days. But of course, it's always all our fault they're shyte.

Too much rugby chat here :mad:

I did not even know the rugby was on until a few days ago (that is how much attention I paid to it).

The funny part was fella I know to see in pub asked me on Friday.... so did you get a ticket for the match?

Yeah I said, got it earlier on

Fair play says he, all excited.:eek:

There will only be about 20k at it though. :cool:

He looked at me puzzled.




It was only later I realised he was on about the oval game.

Just as well that the D4 luuvies decided that hockey is the new "hortbeat of the nation."

Was hoping that their humiliation would have been deferred until the World Cup, but sure you can't have everything

Two bouts of humiliation would do just nicely.

Yeah, I was a little surprised to see our hurlers struggle against Carlow, but today has put that game in perspective a little, Carlow are obviously better than I gave them credit for.

They are good. One of the best records of any team in country over last few years if you look at their results in Christy Ring, McDonagh and 2A. Don't get beaten often and I'd say are now well ahead of Offaly and Laois.

Kavanagh is excellent chf and free taker. Would get a place on any team.

More tickets available now on tickets.ie for the Kerry game for anyone looking for them.

Connolly in and Sherlock out according to reports this morning (Off the Ball via a redtop rag, so make of that what you will).

I thought they had already won the 6 nations Grand Slam and the 9 nations World Cup. Go on the GAA.

I don't know whether I imagined it or not but I was under the distinct impression that Jayo mentioned before Christmas he was taking a back seat with the senior set up to concentrate on the Dev squads and the minor squad this year in particular - but those ragtops never refuse ink or as chubby brown eloquently put it, if you wipe yer arse with one more **** would come off the paper

Lol I'd forgotten that one 😂

Sherlock probably has his work done with the seniors, could pop in for less frequent sessions. I think he'd work very well with the development squads, get the lads a bit younger have them playing with their heads up.

He couldn't kick a point from distance, but as a player he was an excellent passer of the ball, particularly when the area was packed with players. I'd say he's a good coach.

Have one man in the car tomorrow who doesn't have a season ticket, if anyone who is not going down would like theirs scanned let me know.

For the first time in a long while I am not overly confident of Dublin football team winning.
Kerry seem to be flying and Dublin have not fully woken up from thier hibernation state.
In my head this is a modern lite version of the 75 all-ireland Kerry young guns v the battle hardened Dubs.
I hope the result is different obviously.
Dublin don't want to be given these young Kerry footballers any notions then they already have, - Kerry footballers are born with notions.

Not only do I want a win for Dublin I want a win where it firmly puts Kerry in thier place and keep those notions in check a bit. Go to thier backyard and show them who are the top dogs.
I think it is important that Dublin win it.

I don't know, they are really only back they had two games and a win against Kerry would tell us little now. A loss might

I think Mayo are stronger than Kerry

There is alot of hype around Kerry in part because commentators want a team to rival Dublin and in part because of the minors coming through but let's not forget there was the equivalent hype last year and look what happened.

Kerry were fairly poor against Cavan last weeend. I hope Dublin win tomorrow but it's no big deal if they don't.

I think Monaghan and Mayo are ahead of Kerry when it comes to the AI.

Will they have new players in midfield this year?

Or will the new management get better out of what's there?

David Moran is not particularly mobile, wasn't impressive last summer and is now over 30yrs.

Jack Barry has been talked up for a few years but never really delivered in the championship and was lack luster in the summer gone. Still only 23 though.

OldMrBrennan83

Mayo will be comfortably better than Kerry this year.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mayo comfortably winning a game ever.
They won’t be. If they do meet there will be max 2 points in it either way.
