But a goalkeeper taking a penalty in football is ridiculous at best.

Great win for ye against mayo well done..

Looking forward to trip up to ye this weekend should be a belter..

Nah DK, would disagree with you on Cluxton wasting time - the one example yer using stems from AI Final. Cluxton has taken plenty of frees with Dublin behind on scores. Simple fact is he's the best place ball kicker on the team - Of course theres a whole different argument as to why there isn't an outfield player capable of doing it as proficiently.

The penalty saga was a strange decision agreed, maybe again it stems from training games - we all remember David O'Learys peno, by all accounts the best peno taker in training ..

No PA has been flying fit and the best forward in the Club championship for a few years now.

I would guess your thinking of Mark Davoren from Crokes, since you said cruciate?

This still has me scratching me head Rochey

I'm not saying Dublin are attempting to waste time by getting cluxton to run up for frees.. I in general consider it wasteful of game time I would say the same if our own Shane Connolly was taking frees.

In saying that cluxton is a fabulous dead ball kicker..

I thought Cluxton hit a decent penalty; keeper did brilliantly to get down low to it though.

If he's the best at taking penalties then he takes the penalties is how i see it. Doesn't matter what number he wears.

Yeah I think accuracy wise it was a good penalty would've nestled in the bottom corner. It didn't appear as tho Cluxton gave him "the eyes" just relied on accuracy.

Dubliner28 · 04-03-2013 01:42PM

Brogan IMO should have taken the pen. Because we won nobody will bat aneyelid, but Mayo could have countered it and score a goal of there own if onlyfor more accurate passing.

Don’t think it’s a time wasting idea, you would assume he is the mostaccurate kicker on the pitch and takes the same run up if were 10pts ahead or10 behind

Cant wait for Kildare on Sunday

I can confirm both of Paddy Andrews's Cruciates, are and always have been intact !

ProudDUB · 04-03-2013 02:48PM

D Connolly normally takes our penalties. Think Cluxton taking them was a last minute decision based on Dermo being out injured. That being said, I am sure that I am not the only Dub who had flash backs of Paddy Cullen & his burning cake in the oven, as Cluxton ran hell for leather back to his own goal ! :eek:

Very, very happy with our performance on Sat. Berno was just a joy to watch, plain and simple. When he is in his pomp, there is simply no one like him. That side line kick was outrageous. Thrilled to see CK plugging the hole that AB's absence left so glaringly vacant last year. Nice to know that we are no longer Donald Ducked in that position if either of them goes down injured again in the summer.

That being said, giving up 16 pts to a team that are still missing 3 quality forwards was worrying. Still, we are missing our own Ballymun Kickhams contingent and, Gavin is still experimenting at the back. So I expect things to tighten up there sharpish as the league winds down and summer approaches.

It shouldn't be a waste of game time as the referee is supposed to add on time at the end of the half for delays that take place during the half.

Rule 3.2 The playing time shall consist of two periods of thirty minutes each, but time shall be added on in each period for incidental or deliberate delays. This shall be termed ‘Normal Time’.

Exceptions
(i) In Inter-County Senior Championship and National League games, the playing time shall consist of two periods of 35 minutes each.
(ii) The playing time may be reduced by local Bye-Laws for Under 15 or younger games.

Instead referee's add on a minute at the end of each half because they just want to get the match over and done with

Tbh i never really thought of him as a playmaker but he was excellent. His ball up the line, which lead to McManamons goal i think, was exquisite.

Agree on CK.. He made some excellent pin point passes througout the game and the one for the goal was as you said...exquisite !!

4 week suspension, which must include one game from the competition he was sent off in.

That means his suspension is up on Saturday at midnight and is available to play Sunday

Dubliner28 · 06-03-2013 09:54AM

Hope so, I would love to see him back v Kildare, This will be a real indication of were we are really at.

villains77 · 06-03-2013 12:31PM

We might be heading up on a day trip but one of the lads mentioned staying in Letterkenny.

If you want a good night on the town as sgarvan said (I assume you were alluding to me as one of the lads there), Letterkenny is a great spot for a night out and not too far from Ballybofey if you have a car.

it was the under 21s playing tonight and hardly shamed they won by one point

blowitupref · 06-03-2013 09:58PM

After their 37 point win over Carlow it Looks like the Dubs took Longford for granted tonight. That's a good Longford side and probably good enough to win Leinster now.

Hardly shameful losing to a Leinster minor winning team. You thought they were unstoppable? You need to stop listening to the media because nobody in Dublin thinkso

ProudDUB · 06-03-2013 11:20PM

So how many parts is Longford going to be broken down into now?

Hank Schrader · 07-03-2013 12:59AM

Never underestimate any team when they're playing Dublin 'cause they always raise their game 110% against the "hated Dubs"

Who said Dublin are "hated"?

That longford team has the guts of the team who won a leinster minor...

Drummerboy2 · 07-03-2013 08:50AM

Fair play to Longford on their deserved victory. I think the mistake Dublin made was playing too many of last years minors. It was understandable that the Dublin manager, Dessie Farrell, who was last years Minor manager, selected so many of them. Misguided loyalty perhaps. Hard to understand how Philly Ryan, one of last years's U21 heroes, was on the bench last night instead of on the field. His form for the seniors has been decent.
