    Was down in Wexford - great result. Dubs were chasing the game right from the start (it didnt look like a penalty to me) but showed a lot of character. Hopefully this gives them a big boost now going into the rest of the championship. Saw lots of kids there from Crokes and Plunketts - fair play to the clubs for bringing them down.

    Strong team named for the match against Carlow tomorrow. Hopefully we can be a bit more direct and get a few goals, we'll need goals to progress



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,065 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    3rd spot might come down to points difference.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,729 ✭✭✭MFPM


    That was tighter than I expected, 5 point win over Carlow, doesn't augur well for what's ahead!

    Never in doubt !! Will need to really up our game from here. Big result for Antrim , puts Dublin in a good position

    Leinster Football Final - should be renamed "Ger Brennan's Dublin manager audition".

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,729 ✭✭✭MFPM


    I know it's early in the game, I know it's hard for Dublin to get up for these games and Louth are playing well but Dublin are fairly poor and pedestrian so far.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,729 ✭✭✭MFPM


    That is dreadful by Basquel, terrible miss.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Louth with 15 men inside their 45 when Dublin gain possession to attack. Not their own half their own 45. Dublin finishing has been woeful though. Including that goal chance…. Left 5/6 straightforward scores behind them…

    Louth have been so disciplined, playing with loads of men back. Dublin haven't been able to build a lead to get them to change.

    Finally a goal for Dublin, can they push on now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,729 ✭✭✭MFPM


    Louth deserved that goal for their play. What was Fitzsimons at there? Dublin have been pretty terrible today, Fenton the only one of them up for the challenge.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭rolling boh


    Louth were well set up and were not going to get beaten like last year .We just never got up to it and played like we believed we would win handy no matter .I was a bit disappointed they were able to defend so well against us ,it took a bad play from the keeper to get the bit of a gap that we needed.Mick Fitz was turned very easy and that a disappointment. A team has to turn up and play in every game ,it should be a bit if a warning today that it applies to us as well .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,994 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Also Louth stayed in a really wide set up in attack. Right to the touch lines. When they broke forwards caused chaos. Used their keeper as sweeper aggressively as well. Ironically caused the Dublin goal. But Louth were brave. They had a go without being silly about it. Looked very good tactically.Seriously impressed with Louth. I think Ger passed the audition!?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,806 ✭✭✭corny


    Yeah i'd be quicker to praise Louth than I would criticise Dublin. It was a good game. Not a great spectacle of course but a decent standard.

    McCarthy moved well in the second half. Good to see. He had been unconvincing thus far.

    Whats the story with the tickets for the Roscommon game are they going on sale by themselves? All there is ATM is the group package.

    Link for the game is up on Ticketmaster just hasn't said when on sale yet FFS.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,806 ✭✭✭corny


    Good group these under 20s.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭YabaDabaDooley


    Great performance all round. Led from start to finish. Good to see a Dublin hurling team so clinical and hungry for goals. That's a comprehensive nine point win v Galway we'll take that any day.

    Watched a bit of Offaly beating Kilkenny. Young Screeney is some player and it sets up a what should be a belter of a final.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,478 ✭✭✭✭dastardly00


    Impressive win from the U-20 hurlers. That's quite a trimming to give to Galway



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,392 ✭✭✭Gael85


    David Purcell is a fine hurlers. Good to see us score 4 goals. Dublin team at intercounty hurling usually struggle to score goals.



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users Posts: 7,806 ✭✭✭corny


    It could have 7 or 8 goals too.

    Should be a good final against Offaly.

    O'Dulaing's lift and strike on the turn late on was a thing of beauty btw.

    Galway were missing Niland who scored 2-8 against us in group match. And a couple other players. They hammered us that day by 16 points so although they were weakened it's still some 25 point turnaround.

    Offaly pipped us by a point in group game in Parnell so very little between the sides.

    I presume it's a neutral venue for final possibly O Moore Park where we played last night.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,449 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatInABox


    Speaking of hurlers, the senior team are doing ok. I said during the league that if you want to be taken seriously, you have to put big numbers on teams like Antrim, and that's exactly what they did the last day. Kinda astonished that they're on top after three games, albeit with the two toughest games to come, but there won't be another opportunity coming along like this so easy.

    Kilkenny will be buzzing for it though, trying to make up for a somewhat shocking start to their season.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭YabaDabaDooley


    Seniors doing well. I thought third place would be the best they cpuld do and i exoected them to do that but with a woylunded Kilkenny in Parnell on Saturday and Galway not firing on all cylinders away in Salthill there is an outside chance we could make a Leinster final. Still think a Kilkenny v Galway final is the most likely outcome but we're in with a chance. Saturday's game will be interesting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Just a heads up tickets are online now for the Roscommon match but they don't appear when you go into the Ticketmaster app. Good thing I've been checking everything all week. What a joke.



  • Registered Users Posts: 299 ✭✭jack747


    If anyone is selling or not using 1 spare ticket for the Kilkenny Dublin In Parnell park tomorrow. Ideally looking for 1 stand ticket as its sold out on Ticketmaster. Send me a PM if anyone has anything, thanks.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,806 ✭✭✭corny


    Hopeful but not expectant for tomorrow. We'll have to stay in it and get the crowd the going.

    It's depressing when they make a good start and the crowd goes quiet putting no pressure on the referee. I want rabid, foaming at the mouth stuff on the terraces. We're the only county in Ireland that has civilised hurling fans. We've no problem attracting the animals to watch the football but do you think we can find any to watch hurling!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,994 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    I never thought of that before, but yeah you are correct. The hurling crowd. It's a "nice" crowd. Definitely not the same as the football.

    I remember a Parnell game a good few years ago now KK v Dublin, lovely day sell out. And Dublin ran KK close, but as usual Kilkenny did Kilkenny stuff and pipped Dublin at the end. Think it was Walter Walsh who caused the damge. I said loudly 'Ah jayus, I should have known better".

    And all the Dub fans and KK fans around laughing. Worst part was the KK fans shaking my hand saying "We didn't deserve that".

    I want Dublin to rattle into Kilkenny, just go at it. Don't let them settle at all. And no silly errors. Then might have a chance.

    I see it is only on the GAAGO surprised it is not televised.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭diceyreilly


    Rushed around the place to get work finished this morning. Get breakfast sorted and whatnot.
    Dropped the van back to work. Legging it to the bus stop in Swords to get the 13:10 bus to Parnel Park the home of Dublin Gaa.
    Just made sure i had the ticket on my phone before hopping on the bus.
    Noticed the time.
    Absolutely no idea how I convinced myself the match was on at 3pm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,994 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    At least you are early! There was a family the last day caught out with the Dublin v Louth throw in at 1:45. They assumed the ladies final was on then. Explained to me how they had to tear out the door last minute.

    I remember one hurling match in Parnell, I was that geared up for it. I turned up a day early. Had the day wrong. Was wondering why parking was so handy.

    Into Craobh Chiaran bar for a few pre match refreshments?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,994 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Good battling. type stuff so far. Dublin only a point down HT. Dublin had more chances v KK but made the wrong choices.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,333 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Cracking game but as usual the ref deciding when and when not to apply the rules.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,333 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    Nonsense non-call there. He's blown us up a few times for steps and then let's a lad take about 10 for the goal there.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,994 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Usual hard luck story for Dub hurlers. Possible steps on KK goal.

    15 minutes to go a second goal and leading 2-20 v 0-23. 'Come on ye boys in blue' ringing out from the stands. Parnell Park rocking. Chance to win only a second championship game in 90 years against the cats. Look like have the legs and hunger for a famous win. 15 minutes later walking off the field dejected feeling i've seen the ending to this movie too many times. D



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,449 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatInABox


    Disappointed not to get anything out of that game, but that was some performance none the less. Could have got a few more scores ourselves, which is probably the most disappointing part, we could have removed the ref from the game.

    Kilkenny though, they don't look like they're going anywhere this year. No where near the big teams in terms of performance.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭YabaDabaDooley


    I wouldn't dismiss Kilkenny. If Mullen comes back in with TJ, Cody and Donnelan (great point scoring today) that's still a formidable forward line. They'll robably be in Leinster final win that through to All Ireland semi where they love playing in Croke Park. Gave Limerick plenty in last two finals. They remain hard to beat.

  • Registered Users Posts: 7,806 ✭✭✭corny


    Good performance. Still carrying a few lads and we've no punch off the bench but plenty of good stuff on show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,333 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    I don't know how you take the ref out of the game when he had a direct hand in 5 of the points Kilkenny got in that last 10 minutes. 2 from clear fouls by Kilkenny players when we had possession and he waved played on. Then the goal which was double digits steps and a possible throw.

    Anyway, they'll be annoyed after that game and should take it out on Galway the next day. Great to see us have a goal threat once again.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,481 ✭✭✭robbiezero


    They were beaten out the gap in last years AI and it doesnt look like they are any better this year.

    Their only hope of beating Limerick is if Limerick have come back quite a bit. They can beat everyone else however.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,806 ✭✭✭corny


    It's nothing new though. Can anyone tell me a tight game against a 'traditional hurling county' where Dublin got the rub? I'll wait!

    It's not a conspiracy, just confirmation bias. Refs are amateurs after all.

    There was two clear fouls after the goal on Dublin players.

    1 in the centre back area as a Dublin player was being strangled coming out with the ball. Kilkenny got a point of it.

    The 2nd less than a minute later. Dublin player contesting a high ball in wing forward position and having the head pulled off him, certain point forxBurke if free given. I am a "let it flow" man, but those were 100% Dublin frees and absolutely critical in the final result.

    Obviously 6 steps at least in build up to the goal, but Id be more critical of the 2 frees above, there is no excuse for the ref missing those.

    I would also say that Dublin dont help themselves either with poor option taking or execution at crucial times.

    There wasn't double digits steps in the run up to the goal, 6,7 or even 8 maybe, nothing exceptional in today's game sadly, Hayes took 11 before sending his goal attempt slightly wide for example. You're right it did look like a throw however, but then there was two or three in the build up to the first Dublin goal. Not all the decisions went Kilkenny's way, for example both Mossy Keoghan and Tom Phelan got booked for nothing when the ref bought what Donohoe was selling and TJ was penalized for a chop despite making no contact at a crucial part of the game. These are just some of the incidents that came to mind, there's bound to have been many more for both teams



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭YabaDabaDooley


    I wouldn't blame the referee on the loss. When in a great position near the end we ran out of scores Kilkenny got on top and were more composed and clinincal coming down the stretch. There's always a few decisions that could have gone one way or the other but i didnt get the feeling we were robbed anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,333 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    There were 8/9 steps at least. I wouldn't have a problem with it if he hadn't blown Sutcliffe up a few minutes beforehand for taking 6 steps and giving a free out.

    Agree about a couple of our passes leading up to the goal but he wasn't calling them against either side so can't really complain there.

    TJ tried to chop the hand, the fact he may have missed doesn't mean it isn't a free, unless I'm missing something?

    I don't think all the decorations went Kilkennys way either but for that final 10 minutes it certainly seemed to flow one way more than the other.

    Anyway, it was an enjoyable game of hurling and will stand to both teams.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭YabaDabaDooley


    Dublin playing with a very strong breeze were playing well and 0-7 v 0-3 in front after 15 mins or so but a poor enough goal conceded after sliotar dropped in square by full back and Offaly man buried it and a couple frees and a Screeney point from play our scores have completely dried up and Offaly on top last 10-15 mins. I thought that breeze was worth a few points and we'd need a nice lead at ht but we're two behind and it will be an uphill struggle from here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,570 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    Was that a good shoulder from the Dublin player? It seemed ok but I would have to see it again. He got a yellow for it
