Dublin GAA Discussion Thread: Capital Gains

Bonniedog · 26-11-2020 2:49pm

In a fit of unusual optimism, and if the lifting of restrictions proceeds I wonder what the chances of a limited number being allowed go to see final are?

Following on that, and if they were to allow 5,000 attend as seems to be way Brits are headed and as is practise for soccer and rugby in France and elsewhere, how would they decide on allocation?

Would we PP holders and ST holders be in a limited draw?

(I would trust that if the above scenario does transpire, that no-one outside of participating counties gets a shot at a ticket. And yes, that includes none for TDs etc, etc.)

I don't think Cavan would be on for given any of there share of All-Ireland final tickets to PP holders.

They wouldn't be getting any if it is confined to the two counties taking part :-)

Yous won't have to worry about the final anyway lads. Yer season ends Saturday week

Even if Dublin did lose, I'm sure the Supreme Court would eventually overturn the decision.

Not a hope lads....remember it is Cavan that Dublin are playing...

They would hardly pay the petrol to the Courts never mind bring a case.

I suspect the talk of moving the game to Navan is also a financial consideration. Cavan is much nearer to Navan. More petrol saved!

The stars are aligning over Drumcondra. Costelloes red card overturned tonight.

I think I just felt an aftershock of Kevin McStay exploding.

Apparently overturned after the linesman admitted he was actually a f****ing p***k

dobman88 · 26-11-2020 11:03pm

Happy enough to see that card overturned. I got annihilated on the match thread when I said the linesman maybe needed to toughen up. Granted, poor choice of words. Thicker skin required by him maybe. Potentially ruining a lads year for that.

Spose we will never know what actually happened. Never a red card though in the heat of a match.

corny · 26-11-2020 11:08pm

I'd say they believed him that he was mouthing to the Meath player and not the linesman.

Is it not time to reclaim Keane's Christian Bale gif. He hasn't needed it this year.

Funnily enough, I was chatting to my brother today about the Dubs. He made the point that he was happy we stayed on for the presentation and celebrations after the final last year and he was shocked at the time the amount of people leaving in dub and Kerry gear. Obviously gutted on the day but we got to witness history, saw Bernard and Connolly lift it for their last time, and we were there for the 5 until the end. Same as the Seamus Darby goal, in 20 years time you could have a million people claiming they were in croke park to see the 5. But we know we stayed on to salute them.

Also, txt a mate of mine after the Meath game after having a fairly heated argument with him 4 years ago telling him this Dublin team would set and break all kinds of records. He replied and said just cos I'm right doesnt mean I need to be a prick :pac: hes a bull thick Kerry man so not sure he is happy with current events.

Anyway, that's my ramble. I'll leave ye to it.

Sure same as me staying behind to clap ye off during the AIQF 2009. Though, I've not been as magnanimous since.

Tbf, last year reminded me a bit about 2015, you couldn't really be bitter about it from a Kerry pov, you were never winning it.

rolling boh · 27-11-2020 7:54am

Always stay for the presentations surprised even in 2011 to see some leave straight after the game finished they are moments I really savour .

Closest I ever came to leaving a game. At that game was felt mortified and fed up sick of Kerry. I remember thinking, they play a different sport to Dublin. And I always stay until the end of games.

Something that is annoying me about the turning points between Dublin v Kerry since the 70's and 80's how long were the gaps between not winning/losing against the Kingdom exactly?

Was that league draw (Parnell Park) between Dublin and Kerry in 2009 the first time Dublin did not lose to in league or championship to Kerry since the 70's or 80's? How long was the wait exactly?

When exactly was the first time Dublin beat Kerry in League or championship since the 70's/80's was it 2010 league game in Kerry? And how long was the wait?

Or has everything in my mind become so scrambled I have forgotten the key events?
