Very small crowd. Is there even 10,000 there?

DoctaDee · 31-03-2019 3:00pm

Is there an official line from Parnell Park as to who to side with at 4 o'clock?

As much a no brainer as ever. Can't have the long grass dwellers getting notions.

Hope Kerry smoke them. I’m sure they will.

was asking for a friend ... notice I used the term "side with"

I think it was Gary Neville that said it's like choosing between 2 fellas to knock your missus

Hard to know how much impact this match will have later in the year but it would be nice to see Kerry beaten.

Bonniedog · 31-03-2019 5:37pm

You would have to question Kerry's big match temperament.

I hate to use the term "chokers," but …………..

Stoner · 31-03-2019 5:45pm

Yep was thinking the same thing Bonnie

Another good start
Goals in the first half
Let them in the second half
Subs making little impact

rolling boh · 31-03-2019 5:48pm

Fair play to mayo good second half should give them a good boost for the summer.Obviously both teams should be in the mix and its hard to know where Dublin are exactly feel we showed a lot of signs of been over our peek so all to play for.Hope we can get back near to our best form because we need to .

Bonniedog · 31-03-2019 5:48pm

Mayo remain the main threat to Dublin.

Sean Lock described it as trying to work out which is worse stepping in dog sh1t or stepping in cow sh1t.

Just thinking about, dog sh1t is definitely worse.

Lots of cows in Mayo.

Well deserved win by Mayo - I don't think Kerry are quick enough around the field, and were bullied physically in contact. They'll eat lesser teams going forward but would worry about them being exposed at the back, Mayo with a good day in front of the posts are a match for anyone

Yeah agreed. AOS swatting away Barry for every hop ball kind of set the tone for the match ups all over the field.

Kerry badly want Walsh and O'Donoghue to be the players they're purported to be but someone needs to make a tough decision. They'll be an irrelevance in the big games in the summer.

Ah that's only dairy though, if you look at beef herds we have more than Kerry

I thought Walsh was very dangerous in the first half but his influence weaned into the second half. I don't think he has 70 minutes in him! Yet anyway.

Ball into him was poor all day. High balls into him need to be on the diagonal, like they used to do with Donaghy. Yesterday, they either kicked them in straight or overhit the balls in.
You would imagine a fit and in-form Geaney will start full forward and Walsh an impact or tactical sub in the summer, although they might go for Geaney in the corner and leave O'Donoghue on the bench.

Stoner · 01-04-2019 2:06pm

Walsh needs to be coming on for the last 20-25 minutes max.

And maybe that's where David Moran is needed to deliver the ball to the likes of Walsh.

ToBeFrank123 · 01-04-2019 2:40pm

You definitely need a couple of plans when playing the Dubs. They cope better with players running at them but how they cope with long balls over Cian O'Sullivan will be interesting. Neutralise O'Sullivan's influence and you always have a chance.

Most cows in Mayo would be beef, not dairy.

Careful now. Don't be posting stats like those, or Spewan will be calling for heads on a platter.

I was not at the game. But from the telly it seemed like a very loose/open game.
If the Dubs meet either Kerry or Mayo this summer they would destroy them in an open game 'trading punches'.

I still think Mayo are overrated and will bottle it in the heat of battle when there is real pressure on them, Unless they find some individual brilliance against the run of play like Dublin did in 2011. I just cannot see Mayo getting over the line way too much baggage and pressure on them.
Kerry are a team that still worry me cocky former minors heritage etc.

If I were to pick any team to play Dublin in an AI final it would be Mayo easily, because they would be under way more pressure than Dublin would be on the day.

Tyrone or Kerry for me.
Mayo will do the normal Mayo thing and fold.

I reckon that's a bit unfair.

Mayo have been in finals and semi finals with Dublin til the last kick. Kerry have blinked, collapsed even.

Tyrone last year was only final Dublin won that was over by half time. Even Harte said they were playing the second half to keep it respectable!

Can't see that changing to be honest.

I do think Dublin are vulnerable however, and most likely teams to beat them are Mayo and Kerry in that order.
