Dublin GAA Discussion Thread: Mod Note - No 'Dublin Dominance' chat allowed!

Unless whoever it is has unofficially been given the job and just hasn't been made public. If anyone spots Ger Brennan at club matches let us all know😀

Is this because What Connolly said “doesn’t know if it true Ger 100%” Hopefully Connolly is just stirring and having the craic with the media.
Seems just Connolly talking - on the one hand we get Connolly backs Brennan

On the other Brennan is not nailed on Dublin could go “left field” for the next man.

I was thinking if it was Ger that it would have being announced by now ,we don't seem to have many options other than lads who have being a part of the management before so the names mentioned seem about right .

From what I remember of the Leinster final. Meath looked like they had it about four up second half. But the Jackies managed to sneak it kept chipping away. I would say Meath were sore about that loss. At least the Meath men losing to Louth on the same day, was a distraction for them! 🤣

I think it should be a good match, both sides well met as you say. Tickets 30euro.

Dublin are rampant so far.

Game over ref obviously a Dub too from the Very first attack ignoring Jersey pulls.

yeah they usually appoint from participating counties.

Great win and we'll deserved Meath had a lot of possession but we were far more efficient. Meath put in some fairly dirty tackles which the ref did nothing about .

Is this one doing the presentation after a few sherries? Sounds píssed and I slurring her words.

Demolition job by Dublin.

Agreed, Pathetic from the referee, see that too often in these games… Ref was very obviously letting a lot slide for Meath, seems to have just been….” They are getting hammered, ahh now be better off letting some things slide, make a game of it. News for ya fella…..That’s not how ‘competitive sport’ works, try telling GAA refs 🙄 frustration more then malicious but refs need to be better.

Great day for Dublin, better team, those goals knocked Meath for 6. Dubs work rate, drive, focus, discipline, skill standards, just a level above, after so many titles the likes of Rowe, Goldrick, Caffrey, Owens all still pure fit, hungry, talented and that desire, the will to win for their teammates fans and county…🏆 and all the new young guns coming into the side compliment them big time. Superb.

The turnover on both sides was massive since 2021. I think they said on the radio preview Saturday that there is about 6 starters from that final in 2021, and about 4 for Meath. That seems very unusual in just four years.

Yep, the focus on both fitness and skill these days is savage …think Dublin teams stole a march on the rest about ten years ago on that front….I sorta know / knew Nicole for a bit, the funny thing, yes she is incredibly fit, but as you’ll have I’m sure noticed too she’s absolutely tiny, one article I’m seeing quotes her as being 5ft tall, 😅. so her speed, skill, finishing and fitness is her weapon… she’s done so well….they all have.

Dublin have real strength in depth and could go on now and win a few more AIs - they seem a good bit better than the other teams, although there are good experienced players who will probably follow Tyrell out the door. As an aside the ACL injury for female GAA players is unreal - I don't know enough about physio/biology to know why it's so prevalent.
