Tg4 Announce they have the rights to most of the leagues and the semis and finals for this year... not Happy about this i know alot of people who are not great at irish Surely rte would be the best option

Would be great to see Alan Brogan back playing, although he'll have his hands full getting back in the Dublin team.

I see Bernard's not looking likely to make a league appearance until March at the earliest; he hasn't had a great league the last few years so it's better he minds himself for the championship. On the upside though it appears Alan is out training, I'll be delighted to see him in the jersey again and the sooner the better

Any news on the team for tonight's Walsh cup match against UCD?

Dublin Kerry All Ireland semi final 2013 on TG4 today at 1.30.

Tonight's match in the Walsh Cup is called off as the Neller is waterlogged. Provisionally rescheduled for Tuesday evening at 7:45pm

Was that Carthy or Martin, was it the point from distance after a nice dummy from number 9?

I was referring to the Carthy point at the beginning of the second half against Louth. He was the No 9.

Funnily enough, in the DCU game, the withdrawel of Carthy and O'Mahony seemed to make all the difference in the last ten minutes. Neither had been great in the first half, but I thought Carthy was very effective in the second half, and I also thought O'Mahony had his best 20 minutes in a Dublin jersey before he was taken off.

Once they went off, we could seem to get the ball out of our half of the pitch.

Don't want you to call out the player boss. The players are entitled to have their good names protected, until something is proven to be true. I was just curious as to whether or not it was one of the new lads, or an older hand. Based on your comment about his being young and he'll learn, I presumed it was one of the newer ones. After all the fuss over the McBrearty allegations last year, I can't see one of the more experienced players letting himself be open to more allegations like these.

Gotta agree with that. The guy shouldn't be named unless and until he is found guilty of something. If no evidence is provided to back up the claim, then it should be left where it finished. I don't for a second condone biting. If guilty he should get a significant ban.

On the off chance that the provocation was sufficient to justify biting?

Was the player in question on last years panel for the O'Byrne Cup and the league, or is he a new introduction this year?

Feeling thoroughly left out here, wondering if I need to get better glasses for the next match.

Yeah saw the aftermath but not the incident .... it occurred to me at the time it had to be a serious enough provocation

AGC

Few people around me saw the incident. I didn't but from what they were saying would not be surprised to see action taken

More trouble brewing by the looks of it http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/dublin-may-be-in-hot-water-after-alleged-biting-incident-29909872.html

What did you see? It happened right in front of me and I didn't see a thing. The ref sure did though, straight up to him and a straight red. Guessing he threw a dig?

I think Rory O'Carroll can feel hard done by for the black card. From what I saw it was a 50-50 ball and he went in with the hands and the DCU player came out the victor but was tripped. It was a foul and I expected a yellow. It don't think it was deliberate and that's key here - the refs are using the black card instead of yellows in some situations. It changed our match, Sean George had been replaced already because he wasn't having a fantastic match and he was forced to come back on after O'Carroll was dismissed, leaving us at a disadvantage. Flynner didn't help matters at all either.

In the 20 minutes Daniel Watson was on after replacing Kev he got the ball 3 times (shot twice, one goal mouth wide and one point). The quantity and quality of ball was in the last 20 minutes was very poor.

I hope Jim tears them out of it, they should have had that game sewn up and shored up the defence to stop leaking goals. A bad end to the O'Byrne Cup this year.

At least we've next Sunday's Walsh Cup match to look forward to in the Neller against UCD, who beat Carlow today

Yeah was a dig to the ribs,DCU guy didnt make a meal of it but the punch was thrown. Think it was more of a wild swing than anything else but very bery stupid. I am sure worse were thrown during the two pile ups, but still think he deserved to go, you cannot do that

So do I & I think he will. He often talks about character in interviews & of how proud he is of the lads playing for the full 70 plus minutes & never giving up, or lowering the intensity levels. After the AI final, he singled out the league game against Donegal as one of the most important games of the year, as it showed the true grit & work ethic of the team. So I wouldn't like to be in their shoes, if he thinks that any of them took their foot of the gas going into the final quarter, when we were up by 5 or 6 pts.

Not cruising to victory in the O'Byrne Cup, could turn out to be a very good thing for us, if the squad gets a collective kick in the hole in January, that they remember all year long.

Yeah, the wheels kinda fell off there in the last 10 minutes. Oh well, at least the players get to experience something they have probably never seen before. A pissed off Jim Gavin.

TouchingVirus

A horrible last 10 minutes results in a loss. DCU 3-8, Dublin 0-16

TouchingVirus

Half time, Dublin 0-6 DCU 1-03.

The midfield of O'Mahony and Carthy are poor, for 30 minutes solid I don't remember recovering possession from a breaking ball or kick out. It's an area I far too often see myself commenting on in the last few years though I know it's only pre-season.

Whelan, McMahon and McMenamin are playing well off each other with some good chances at the net. Costello has had some wild shots from afar costing us a few points. Nice to get a look at the likes of Lowndes and Dawson though the latter has been quiet

No, the proposal was a green field site or similar identified with the help of NAMA on the outskirts of Dublin for a ~25-30,000 seater. I thought the Thomas Davis/Rovers thing was settled way back in 2007 and happened when it was being built

The site was in Rathcoole.
