Dublin GAA Discussion Thread MOD WARNING POST #2944

Now THAT is how you start a game of footie !

Is Croker looking only garjis in the sunshine or what?

Castlebar aint out of this.

My main worry about this game has now changed to "wouldn't you think Ritchie Feeney would shave his head?"

Only interest for me now is 30 or more points in the match. 3 quick goals would help

Are they cursed?

This really is shocking stuff from Castlebar. Never in it from the word go.

Yeah you can see why they struggle for top IC forwards when the best club team can't slot over from 22 yards out. .really thought they'd nab this on the back of the Crossmaglen result

Ole, ole, ole, ole.....

Castlebar were woeful corny. Couldn't kick snow of a rope. 'Boden got a goal and a pt in the first 2 minutes. The game was all pretty much over after 5 minutes.

Great video of Daragh Nelson lifting the trophy, shot by Johnny Cooper. You'd think at this stage, we Dubs would know how to raise a trophy in Croke Park, without taking someones head off.

Reminds me of the great day down in Portlaoise, when BK won the Leinster champo. Captain and the vice captain go to lift the trophy up jointly....and one of the handles breaks off. Scarleh !

Good win in the U 21, some good performances

I missed the minors, good result though

Hurlers get Limerick in quarter finals. Not sure what the venue will be as both have played three games away, so probably toss for it.

Would have preferred any other of the four teams as seem to play Limerick twice every year every year!

Yeah bit of a disappointing display but there was a sense of we're into the quarter finals regardless so we don't need to perform.

Dillon got another 3 points all the same.

And that right there, is what makes Kilkenny so great. Doesn't matter the game, the time of the year, or the circumstances. There is never any let up. There is never any drop in intensity. Until we get away from the mentality that we can turn it on and off at will, we will never be at their level. Ever. Missing players and piss poor tactics (like the woeful short puck outs today) certainly don't help matters, but we don't really aid our own cause with our inconsistency either.

I had prawns tempura, chili & lime prawns, spicy prawn risotto and a truly disgusting "cocktail", that involved vodka, pepper-y tomato juice, lemon juice and prawns in the same glass, at the same time !!!

But as there was no bread to be seen anywhere, therefore no prawn sandwiches were consumed. So technically, I think I am good to go. I'll have a wurly burger AND a batter burger for my tea on Saturday night, just to be sure.

You'd be hoping the short puck outs was just Cunningham keeping his powder dry for later in the year. I'm assuming we won't be trying short puck outs against the fiercest half foward line in the country come summer

We've done it all year and it's worked out fairly well for us, most of the times it hasn't it's been Gough on the ball funnily enough. One thing yesterday showed up was Dooley has a much more accurate puck out than Maguire.

We certainly had different tactics for yesterday though. That was the first time we went conventional 15 against 15. In previous games we've dropped our wing forwards back deep and our corner forwards out leaving loads of space inside.

Home advantage against Limerick confirmed.
