Four, as we have four home games this year. I think there is a double header on with the hurlers for the Cork game, but it will be on the same ticket. So it will be five, if you include the schtick fightin'. :P

Billy Mays · 17-11-2015 07:34PM

Is it possible to get stand tickets on a Parnell terrace pass?

Wouldn't mind being undercover for the league games and as far as I know stand and Hill tickets are the same price for the league.

ProudDUB · 17-11-2015 08:26PM

Yep. I'm a Hill PP holder, but I like being in the stand for the league. So I always ask for a stand ticket every year & they always give me one.

Btw, if you are a PP holder, there aren't individual tickets for individual games. You have to go into the DCB ticket office in Dorset St to collect your Spring Series ticket. It will be one master ticket, that gets you into all the home games. If you ask for a stand ticket, you'll have the same seat for all 4 games.

DoctaDee · 19-11-2015 11:43AM

I make the most of the early season games knowing that they're more than likely the best seats we'll get all year on the PP- not that people stick with their assigned seat, but we're generally in the 304-306 for the Spring Series ...... the longer the year goes on, the further we're away from the halfway line and usually end up consigned to the rafters come September.

From what I can see come champo time that 304-306 block in the Cusack seems to be reserved to the mainpart anyway for our country brethern - there certainly was only a sliver of Dubs on the edge of 304 for the Mayo semi.

I've a feeling that the majority of the PP/Season ticket Dubs are now holed up in the Hogan ? - how times change as my perception was always that the Hogan was the culchie stand

It pleases me they had a nice view of their humiliation.

Will there be season review released of the Quadruple or will we have too be content with searching You Tube for the games ?

I like the later throw in times for the bit of atmosphere they tend to create.

True, for example the league game against laois away a few years ago in the cold and rain that O'Gara played a stormer in or the called off game in Castlebar on the fog

Was nice to see AOS turn up at Croker for once last night

(obviously helped not having 14 other bottlers playing with him)

Last night proved that AO'S is a brilliant full forward, when he has a good supply of high quality ball into him. He just needs to make sure that Bernard Brogan & Conor McManus are doing all the supplying from now on & he'll win the 2016 Footballer of the Year gong easy peasy. Best of luck with that Aido !

I had carrots !

ProudDUB · 22-11-2015 03:01PM

I hope you feckin' choked on them ! :mad:

Slattsy · 22-11-2015 03:43PM

Next one without. Then I'll decide what way is best going forward!

ProudDUB · 22-11-2015 04:11PM

Slats puts carrots in his coddle.

Feel free to subject him to as much abuse as possible people.

In the immortal battle of good vs evil, no stone goes unturned.

Ever !

Looks like all of our 2016 football league games are going to be on Setanta & Setanta 1, except for the last round vs Roscommon.

I like their coverage.

ProudDUB · 02-12-2015 01:48AM

Yeah, I really like Dave McIntyre, as a commentator, but Paul Early & a couple of the other ones, are like listening to pain dry. Just hope they are all on the regular Setanta channel that you get for free with UPC & not Setanta One that you have to pay for. With them showing two games that air at 7pm, I'd be surprised if they don't put at least a couple of our games on the pay channel.

I'd say the game against the Evil Empire will be on Setanta 1.

Yeah, it very well may be. But don't they normally broadcast the game that was on Setanta One, on the "regular" Setanta channel, a couple of hours later? So you'll still get to see it, it just won't be live.

Stoner · 06-12-2015 04:20PM

Jebus that was close , heart goes out to PL all the same. That free to level it with 90 seconds left will haunt the lad.

Very close game. Well done BB.

Slattsy · 06-12-2015 04:23PM

Fair to say Portloaise were probably the better team. Just shaded in my book, they looked more dangerous going forward.

What a wide though !!

ProudDUB · 06-12-2015 04:37PM

Massive fair play to 'Boden. Massively deserved considering the calibre of some of the teams they have beaten. You really have to feel for Cahillane missing that free. He'll be having nightmares about that for a very long time.

It was a brilliant game to watch, but dear God,the pro Portlaoise bias on the radio commentary (from Carty and that Bernard Flynn eegit) was off the charts.

It was a shocker

I thought my fear was going to be bad tonight, but knowing he'll be worse makes me feel a hell of a lot better

Talk in Indo of Danny Sutcliffe pulling off Dublin panel, would be a big blow for ye. Hopefully, if true, just for one year for him to focus on his studies. I'd hate to think their is any unease in the camp. Things were really starting to look up toward the end of Daly's tenure for Dublin hurling, 2013 in particular.

Just reading about this myself:

http://www.punditarena.com/gaa/rlyons/reports-suggest-danny-sutcliffe-is-to-leave-the-dublin-hurling-team/

Doesn't sound too good.

ProudDUB · 07-12-2015 03:22PM

The dogs on the street have known about serious unhappiness with GC for a long time. Whatever about on the pitch tactics and decisions, his man management skills leave a lot to be desired. Whether people want to admit it or not, that is just as important to the modern day player, as what happens on the pitch. It is something that the old fart, dinosaur brigade, who think that players should always put up an shut up, struggle with, but its a fact. These days, you ignore it at your peril.

All was not right with Danny last year. That much was obvious. If a few more players follow suit, it may prompt the county board to act in a swift and decisive manner. The last thing we need is a long drawn out affair, a la Galway & Mayo. Nor do we need people taking pot shots at players & spewing lazy & tired cliches....the players throwing their toys out of the pram being my favourite one....about things they know eff all about.

Keaney's looking to retire, Danny confirmed as quitting the panel and with the dropping of Alan Nolan and Simon Lambert making some headlines today you're right; all is not well in the Dublin camp.

All has not been right since Carton left.

ProudDUB · 08-12-2015 02:33PM

But on the flip side, Danny was a pretty handy footballer, back in the day. Maybe he could light a fire under Flynner & Dermo's arses in 2016. The Good Lord giveth and the Good Lord taketh away !
