Might take him a while. It's bigger than it looks ya know.....has 16 rooms, on 3 floors and all. Doesn't look that big, when you are stashing the car for a quickie get away from the Regency Hotel Parnell Park, does it?
Yeah Scully is looking more comfortable with each game. He's worth persevering with. Hoping COC settles in just as well.
Has to be said that teamsheet wouldn't terrify me if i was a Westmeath man. Not saying we're better or worse than before but there are a load of players there carrying questionable form or inexperience.
New combinations too. HF line looks makeshift without Connolly and Flynn.
Being a highly touted prospect for Dublin, is a bit of a double edged sword, isn't it? Killenny and McCaffrey were always gonna be stars, but McHugh, Costello, O'Conaigle, Lowdnes etc etc don't seem to have pushed on. Yet Scully, Fenton and Small seem to have come out of no where, to nail down a starting jersey. There is a lot to be said for coming in under the radar.0 -

Fair play to Kevin Mc...he's off form all year and still starting
yeah and he has Paddy Andrews in tow to ensure there's mediocrity in the HF line too .. as corny says there's not a lot there to frighten Westmeath .. well certainly not to wave the white flag before the ball is thrown in .. the team doesn't read well off the page and it just looks unbalanced to me .. again I'd question why Reddin & Basquel aren't starting, and why Scully isn't named in the HF line0 -

You might work harder for something you haven't got than something you wanna keep maybe. For sure the hype can be hard to handle.
Just curious but do we all think there's an inevitability it'll be Flynn, KK, Connolly, Rock, Andrews, Brogan by the semi final (if we get there)? I ask because i'm full sure we'll lose if there's no evolution in the forwards this year. And i don't think its a case of lads not giving their all either. I'm sure the likes of Flynn and Brogan will flog themselves before they accept the bench.0 -
In all fairness DocDee and I have been talking about Scully for years . He was an excellent minor and U21 was always in the half-forward line, or corner forward. I believe we talked about how well he moved as a 16 year old. He's wasted at half back imo.
Missed Fenton alright but Scully was looking like a young Alan Brogan years ago.
Hmmm....I wonder what results I'd get, if I entered in Stoner, DoctaDee and Naill Scully into the Search facility.
Regarding Flynner and Berno...I don't like comments that seem to suggest that the hunger is back for them, or they are going to stand up this year, or drive on, or push on to get the starting jersey back, or whatever. As if all they are lacking, is the mental desire to be the main man again.
They don't. I would never, ever question their heart or desire, or work rate. The sad fact is that they are 33 and 31 now. All the heart and desire will only get you so far, if the legs (and the groins) just aren't up to it any more, for 70+ minutes.0 -

Yeah I can't remember them talking like that about Vinny or Jayo when they were the favourite former legend turned impact subs?
I think a lot of it with Brogan is because he comes from a family full of GAA Dubness (I was going to say royalty but that would have been just wrong)Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

He didn't burst past defenders so much as in the past but played well and he's on an upward curve at the moment improving game by game.
Howard had a impressive short camio.
Manion's best ever game for Dublin.
Con getting closer to everything he's going to be.
Dean imperious from the placed ball.
Fenton looking his old self.0 -
