But if anyone knows where I can get approx 4 Tickets for the Dublin V Kerry match. I checked ticketMas and tickets but they only have nally or upper tier.
Reason for asking is they are for some 'corporate' americans trying to show them what good GAA is like while they are over here.
If anyone can point in the right direction hopefully lower tier or it would be massive if premium tickets would be able.
(dont ridicule my please
)
Four tickets in the premium section for an All Ireland football semi-final between Dublin and Kerry from strangers on a message board! "Complete long shot" doesnt do that justice!
I would imagine tickets.ie and ticketmaster will have some lower deck available closer to the game as clubs may return tickets. There'd be plenty of club members who would buy on the internet as soon as their team makes it, rather than wait until the club allocation arrives.0 -

No posts on here in 10 days??!!
i never believed that stuff about fair-weather fans lol.
Anyway, I've got dogs abuse on this site and elsewhere for saying that Dublin GAA is run by country folk but top culchie, Dublin resident and editor of the Indo Gerry O'Regan agrees with me....
"And then 'up the road' lay the south Dublin GAA citadel that is Kilmacud Crokes. The Stillorgan-based club seems to operate like one giant finely tuned sporting factory, churning out scores of teams week after week, in football, hurling, ladies football and camogie.
One can often see those keen-faced fathers from Kilkenny, Tipperary and Clare transporting young sons, complete with hurley and helmet, to sporting encounters across Dublin city and county."

Wouldn't use Kilmacud as proof of Dublin being run by boggers at all, it's one of hundreds of Dublin GAA clubs, but it's vast numbers from a catchment are full of civil service workers etc.0 -

No posts in here in 10 days is due to the fact we were posting on other threads, that and we didnt have you annoying us.
Well if its said in the indo it must be true, as I'm sure that journalist stopped every parent and asked where are you from.
But still more to the point, what is your agenda, seriously?
You obsessed with are family aren't pure Dublin blood so we didnt win or do anything!
Because every other county only takes on players that have parents of pure blood.
The O'halpins from cork, one of there parents is from Fiji.
Go to some other county thread and peddle your racist sh1t cause I'm not buying here.
Even if I have bitten and responded.0 -

I was more encouraged by today actually.
Its the first time this year i've seen a team good enough to test their defensive structure and i wasn't that convinced. Not to get ahead of ourselves of course but their half backs can be got at. Vaughan, Boyle and Keegan were poor defensively in the first half. They give no cover in behind and they aren't great at stopping runners through the middle. A better attacking unit and, crucially for Dublin, an attacking unit that moves the ball faster would have put them in serious difficulty.
The workrate from their forwards wasn't good enough either and against Dublin they are going to have to chase runners all day. Dublin are also the only side capable of matching their energy output (if that makes sense) too. They're good but i'm not convinced they're infallible anymore.
Kerry first though.
I understand your point but I just felt Mayo only really got going after the peno. To manage to stay right in there in an All Ireland semi final without playing your best is impressive. Plus I could see the two O'Shea's destroying us in the middle of the park.
Like you say though, Kerry first 0 -

Will you all dampen the hype down lads. We have to focus on Kerry first who I am sure will raise their game against us and form will go out the window. Anyway if we and hopefully we do get over that hurdle Mayo will be favourites I think for the final which would take a bit of the pressure off. The injury to Cillian O'Connor is a huge blow though.
Are ye jokin me?? Absolutely no chance of that happenin. The Dubs will be favs against Mayo believe me. And if by any slim chance the bookies made Mayo favs it wouldnt be long before that changed when the Dublin boyos splashin the cash backin their team to win! 0 -

True with regards to the Dublin fans placing bets on us and slashing the odds if of course we get to the final but if we sneak a win against Kerry or play badly and still win I reckon most pundits and media journalists (apart from some Dublin based ones) will tip Mayo for Sam.0 -
