I dunno. I guess if we look at Kenneally on Murphy in 2009 as "not a red" I guess you could work it back from there.

I couldn't believe how much more 'physical' the game was way back. Like watching a different sport. Much as it pains me to say it those Kerry forwards from thier great 70's team are up there with this current Dublin team. I initially thought Kerry couldn't be as good as those Kerry people made out. I was wrong. Power, Egan and Sheehy in particular would play in any era.

I thought about making a 15 made up of Kerry 1970's/80's and Dublin 2011-2019. But realised it would be impossible. Besides keeper (cluxton) obviously there are loads of debatable positions. Would have to look at scoring average and give opponents a weighting if was going to do it right.

I take at this stage that the county board won't be overturning the no promotion / relegation rule?

So Paul Clarke is the latest to leave the Senior team.

O'Byrne Cup legendary manager. Must have got fed up missing out on those holliers.

Unfortunately, he is not going to miss much.

Dubs TV all 4 games for €20

€7 for a single game ( bit pricey )

Not sure it is worth getting the two days as Judes v Skerries will be non event. As you say €7 for one game would be a bit pricey.

But the double header on Sunday looks good value for the 12 Euro - would be the kind of one I would go to as a neutral anyway.

Hopefully this streaming craic will catch on properly and we won't have to be relying on RTE to show just a couple of minutes of Dublin intercounty hurling highlights. Laois v Dublin hurling match was not shown live last year if I remember correctly for example. Plus I don't think Dublin v Galway hurling match was shown live last year was it? I remember being damn annoyed at the coverage and a few minutes of highlights.

I was also wondering is the fair weather fan, now going to be called a fair weather streamer instead?

Crokes gave Vinnies a good hiding today.

Have Vinnies regressed that much?

Skerries put it up to Judes also, fair play to them as that looked like it could be a massacre.

Didn't see the games. But I think Vinnies have been living on game management and cuteness for years - all those times they beat Ballymun for example. Time caught up with them at last same names for years. Probably need a new influx?

gormdubhgorm · 30-08-2020 02:37PM

Water break 1st half

Raheny 0-4 Boden 0-4

Raheny playing cagey but could be winning forwards letting them down. Both sides hit crossbar.

HT Boden 0-9 Raheny 0-6 - Raheny five wides and cleared shot off line. Boden no wides at all.

gormdubhgorm · 30-08-2020 03:22PM

Draw FT Boden 1-10 Raheny 0-13

Peno won by MDM scored by R Basquel. Raheny were a man up with about 10 mins left

ProudDUB · 30-08-2020 03:37PM

Happy 6 in a row day ya'll !

gormdubhgorm · 30-08-2020 03:44PM

HT ET Raheny 0-15 Boden 1-12
Boden down to 14 again as Nelson got a BC taking down Fenton

Peno kicks if draw after next half ET

Raheny should have won it imo. Boden 2nd goal was late on followed in after hitting crossbar. Fenton missed goal chance earlier on in 2nd half ET

HT Na Fianna 1-10 Ballymun 0-8 Conor McHugh great goal. Game is up and down I figure it could be close yet.

Was the Dean Rock show second half in particular. Ballymun came back from 5 down to 5 ahead at one stage. McCaul got Ballymun goal and N Cooper got Na Fiannas consolation

FT BMun 1-18 NaF 2-13

gormdubhgorm · 30-08-2020 05:57PM

K Crokes v Bmun SF jayus good one for the neutral

Did Na Fianna collapse or did Ballymun tighten the screw? Some turnaround alright.

Should be two great games. Judes are probably weakest of the 4 but i hope they do it.

More Ballymun turning the screw really upped it in second half. But I felt watching that Na Fianna could have pressured them a bit more as well. Let them dictate play short kick outs etc.
By the way J Cooper got a BC late on - shocked completely out of character!

Judes and Boden could be a tough one to call considering Boden struggled against Raheny's pressure and defensive tactics. And it is Judes bread and butter - plus suits Kevin Mc on break.

Watched the Ballymun/Na Fianna game last night. In the 2nd half Kickhams were like wild dogs, tackling in packs. Last time I saw them at that was in the All-Ireland semi-final against Dr. Crokes in 2012. Not sure it's enough to get them another county championship but would love to see them do it.

Could it be as simple as Ballymun being well rested for a change instead of being leggy at this time of year?
I can't remember the posters name from Ballymun (on this thread) but said plenty of times that Dublin's success sees them under perform. It was probably after one of the recent seasons were aging Vincent's team still manage to beat Ballymun.
I remember last year think first game back after Dublin 5 in a row? Na Fianna knocked Ballymun out and Ballymun looked wrecked had zero zip in them - heavy legged.

As a neutral would like to see Judes and Kevin Mc win it. Well managed team make great use of what they have. Plus would have a symmetry if Judes won. After all Kevin Mc got the ball rolling for the Dubs v Kerry in 2011 with that goal. He nearly scored a very similar goal v Skerries as well in SF.

Very sad. Pity he didn't get to see 6 in a row.

Ballyboden st enda girls underage game abandoned earlier today because of Ballyboden coaches verbal assault on the referee late in the game.

Great managers have to make tough decisions. Reading a bit by Brogan on Gavin, personally, I don't think Brogan is doing himself any favours.
