Dublin GAA Discussion Thread MOD WARNING POST #2944

I wouldn't be too harsh on the forwards. The service into them has been very poor at time and the support play hasn't been great.

Very impressed with the defence though, Tipp game aside.

Bono, Van Morrison, Enya, yer wan from the Corrs, the Canadian, Russian, Brazilian and Japanese ambassadors, Jim Kerr & Eddie Irvine won't be getting the hired help to milk any cows on the Vico Road tonight !

Great win, absolutely delighted for everyone involved. Hopefully this proves a big shot in the arm for Dublin hurling and persuades a few more to stick with the small ball.

Congrats again Cuala.

Be interesting to see how King Con's Dubs career progresses from here on out. Or which code he picks. If I was GC, I wouldn't be feeling all that optimistic.

Am not saying a word about the ref, his umpires, or what impeccable 20/20 vision they all clearly have, in the face of so much pure hatchet man dirt. They are all a great bunch of lads. T'wud just wouldn't be cricket to express an opinion on the refs performance when you win, lest you be accused of being an ungracious winner or a whinger. :rolleyes:

He's already chosen the football hasn't he?

Well the wild pull towards the end, over by the touchline was very fortunate to only get a yellow. I've seen lads sent to the line for less, especially when contact with the head is made.

Great win by Cuala. When those boys come back. Dublin will be a serious proposition.

I wonder what the "dubs don't have hurling", and the "manufactured hurlers" brigade made of it?

As with the Slaughtneil semi final some of what went on today was a fkn disgrace. Especially when some of the attempted gbhs were long after the game was over as a contest. Ballyhea should have finished with 12.

On other hand, Cuala proved that the days of terrorising Dublin hurlers is long, long gone/

yeah no complaints with this , dublin hurling is in a serious position at the moment great to see such a huge crowd from dublin coming out to support them today , with the addition of 6 or 7 to the already promising dublin panel it looks like ye are going in the right direction

ballyea should have got joe neylon sent off twice for punching an opponent , there were a few chop downs that went on noticed too , but look nothing was stopping cuala , there work rate was serious

while the club i come from has no hurling team we had 6 lads out on the field today in the ballyea colours ,it may never happen for them again but we will have huge time for the team that beat us today , great support great hurlers and great people , well done cuala and dublin hurling , great success story in fairness

All set for the road men ?

No. Have to work tomorrow. Am missing my first Dub/Kerry game in six years. Absolutley gutted !

I'll make a show of myself on your behalf.

The Kerry trips are great. They are a great crowd that win and lose well. I'm not just saying that but you'd leave the game today talking to a Kerry supporter regardless of the result. You can't say that about everyone.

Thanks Stoner. I'm heading out to Howth for the Dublin Bay Prawn Festival. Then in to watch the rugger in one of the local hostelries. I'll be sure to make a show of myself too. Now that Cuala are All Ireland champions, we really need to up our game in the 'roysh, ok goys" stakes !

Don't kid yourself on the Kerry crowd, especially if we win. With each successive loss to us...they are slowly but surely morphing into Mayo supporters. Don't say you haven't been warned !

Greetings from Dingle.

Can't get a decent pint of Guinness here. The aul fish is nice though. Doing me bit for the local produce.

Back to Killarney for the match. Have a blue shirt and navy jeans. Good luck to anyone in Tralee.

This sounds like one of Dr. Livingstone's letters from the African jungle

Only worry I have now is parking..the missus is driving so pints are in order before the match...magic.
Oh on the match...I think we are going to eat them. Hopefully get back to Killarney before it gets too ugly Hehe!
