You guys go to games that most of us don't even know are on. I've being going to Dublin games since the start of the bad times. Straight after '95. Bit of a jinx up until recently. I love it. Crowd has dwindled but my big brother and me go everywhere with you guys. There will come a day when we don't..... Im a soccer man. Coach and train kids and my other love Is an English football team. Don't hate on me too much. But I'm missing my coaching and my Dublin days far more than anything else sport related. Yes Bonnie, so glad we witnessed that 5 in a row and decade....so glad. Sorry for long post..

An elbow that nearly decapitated Talty and Duff a cowardly boot in to the Galways lads face as he lay on the ground. Really poor form. The other two red cards were soft enough.

He did not even connect with his head. His wife asked the Pat O'Neill did Duff kick him in the head (at hotel meal) and the O'Neill said no.https://www.balls.ie/gaa/kieran-duff-dublin-laochra-gael-407149"There was a kickout from the Galway keeper. As it was going over my head, Pat was holding onto my jersey and swinging out of me. Whatever way I spun around, I grabbed him and threw him to the ground. I saw the referee was looking that way, the linesman was looking that way, I just walked over to him, as much to say, 'Would you just get up off the ground and stop acting the clown?' I gave kind of a toe-poke to him. It looked like I had kicked him in the had but as he said himself afterward that I made no contact and if I did make contact, it was with his arm or shoulder. It was the crowd's reaction that done me. My next thought was, 'shít, we're down another man.' "

I remember there was a lot of crushes during the game paticularly during the second half. Weather was atrocious. The worst crush though was coming out of the ground after the game. I could barely breath. Only for some old chap lifting me up i would have been in trouble Different times.

Sorry, not sorry, but i do like a carrot in. Has anyone ever put white pudding in?? An interesting concept... Its not really been mentioned in this thread but looks like no 6 in a row this year. Pity, because i think the country needs a lift and we'd be the team to do it.
