It would be nice to Villa win it. I think this will be a 1-1 and someone will win it on penalties.

Well, United haven't scored at the New Wembley outside of Community Shields, so it'll probably be another snore-fest. Villa don't exactly play exciting attacking football...

yea same here. Wins for tipperary and kilkenny too. Thats if dublin play as bad as they did against ye last week. And with no mccrabbe, its a big blow to the team. A strong force in the team, i'd be interested to see how they cope without him especially up against the likes of tipp.

Are the portumna lads still resting deise? If so, i'd say ye'd beat them alright. They weren't too impressive against limerick last week from what i could see.

Daly is great manager but can be an idiot at times. IE the All Ireland quarter final.

Nah it was 0-0. The only goal in a cup final involving United at the New Wembley was Drogba's in the FA Cup final in 2007, and that was in extra time...

Slow Show

Galway & Waterford match tomorrow if it hasn't already been mentioned up Galway :D

Think McCrabbe is back starting actually! 11minutes waiting for the friggen paramedics and all it was was swelling and bruising, it was ridiculous!!
Yup Portumna are resting thank god :pac: I think we have a chance coz tbf without the Cannings Galway are only half a team.

Yea I know it was a load of inexperienced players, but when you look at who is out, how many of them would really start in June?
Last Sundays starting would be the guts of our June team, so we dont really want to be losing heavy defeats tbh. Well June we'll have Eoin Murphy, John Mullane and Eoin Kelly starting after that it would be atoss up between those starting sunday and those resting/suspended.

soccymonster

I haven't seen the dublin starting team so i wouldn't know. That's good news if he is. He's class. I'll have to find the dublin starting team. Wonder if dotsy is starting tomorrow. I still think tipp will beat them.

And what did Daly do in the all ireland QF, unknown?

Not that it matters, both were shíte.

Took 4 of the starting forwards off in the last 20 minutes when they were up against Limerick.

ah, they tagged up a few scores straight after the 2nd half kicked off but went dry.
Ye just lost because of inexperience and unfortunatly ye were up against an experienced team used to being in those stages of the championship.

You should be counting your lucky stars that ye didn't meet tipp in the semi final for a mauling anyways :pac:

In all fairness it would have given hurling a big boost if Dublin got to an All-Ireland semi final in hurling because it could be the measuring stick to how popular hurling is or can be.

I am sick. Dundalk got a late goal against my team tonight.

I could not believe Dublin trashed Tipperary. Great win against a team that nearly beat Kilkenny in the All Ireland Final

Bobalicious93

Excellent win for UCD away to Drogheda

Roll on Bohs on Tuesday...

Wins for Dublin, Tipperary and Leinster.:)

I am very happy with the FA Cup semi final draw.

Chelsea -V- Aston Villa

Portsmouth -V- Fulham / Tottenham.

There is a decent chance the Cup could be coming to the Lane.

Ginja Ninja

woot!!! Ireland vs wales.

Wales got really aggressive and faster since the last time we played,it used to be put the head down and push through them,now they've a lot more athleticism in their game

DancingQueen:)

Turning out to be a great match, I was so close to getting a ticket i'm raging i didn't I feel so sorry for Sexton though he's a great player but just isn't getting the ball over the bar! Good score line atm anyway 16.3

soccymonster

Bye bye portumna. Major fumble by canning in goals, 1-18 to 0-13 for ballyhale with 10 minutes left.

Not the Canning, one of his brothers!

They were unlucky though, if they didnt muck up the goal they had momentem and I dare say it could have been alot closer.
Hate looking at the losing teams in finals, they're all so teary eyed and red faced

Well spotted.

CMON KILMURRY IBRICKANEEEEEEE!!!!!:D

RHunce

joe canning's point in the first half was class!! Didnt touch it was his hand, three touches on the hurley and bang over the bar!

Does anyone know who he trains with when he's down here in Limerick? Is it just LIT? Or is he training with a club too? He hardly travels to Galway to train everyweekend does he?

soccymonster

Yea, i'd imagine he would travel up every weekend to portumna while also down with the LIT crowd.

3-13 to 2-11.
Not sure how Hannon played, the two men on 95FM were frantic calling the action in the second half!

United v Liverpool tomorrow...

I wouldn't be worried about this normally, but Nani's comments during the week will have fired up the Scouse, and they could come back to haunt us. Silly boy...

Still though, Carragher + Skittles v Rooney and Berbatov? Yes please! :eek:

I'm crap at predictions, but it feels like it's gonna be one of those weekends, (like when we played Everton at Goodison on 07, or Villa at OT last season) where the title race will swing either into our own hands, or even further away. Can see Chelsea dropping points to Big Sam's Blackburn tomorrow, so hopefully things will work out favourably again.

Though to be honest...it's Arsenal I'm worried about now when it comes to the league...

Good weekend of sports coming up:

-Ireland's U20 Rugby team have all but won their 6 Nations championship (England would need to beat France by 47+ points tomorrow for them to take it).

-Ireland just need to beat the worst team of this current 6 Nations (going by the table and nothing else) in order to win a 5th Triple Crown in 7 years. Oh, and Tommy Bowe shall be playing, which makes for a very happy me.

-United play Liverpool tomorrow, which makes for a very nervous me. >.< However, it's a home game, and they've not had a great season so United should manage it. Form is entirely irrelevant in these games though..

Should be fun/involve me hiding behind the couch/various cushions at times..

I dunno about this now :P....and Italy are worse than Scotland in my opinion.

I believe I said "going by the table and nothing else" m'dear.. :P

And we'll see. They're just making silly mistakes atm, if they get a good giving out to at half-time they might stop messing up. *crosses fingers*

This is like...the second time in a week I've said something and missed a salient piece of information in a post.

I'd like to see some substituitions...namely O'Gara for Sexton and Stringer for O'Leary. Has Stringer gotten any time in the 6 Nations this year, yet? Don't think so, which is a pity, he plays rather well most times he comes on.

Yeah except that 4 - 1 win last season.

And I don't care what our current form says we could still win at OT tomorrow. I'm not going to rule anything out.
