Cluxton on as a sub for Parnells against Peregrines right now.

Did you start the "Steevo, Steevo" chant.?" You did

ProudDUB

What was he...corner back, or wing forward?

Could he do a job for us if J Coops gets injured, or Jack Flash's rehab doesn't go to plan?

Reading all the pundits last weekend, we're significantly under strength & there for the taking, blah, blah, blah. We'll need all the help we can get so. :rolleyes:

EICVD

He played at 6, missed a handy free though.....

Silver Park positively blooming in the growing month of May :rolleyes: This was for last night's Crokes/TDavis game. I wouldn't mind but there's a 2nd pitch there, which couldn't have been any worse

Not too late to refix the Cats there on Sunday!

Edit - just read on the Twitter machine that the footballers are out on Sunday 27th.

Who is the first person you think of? there's a little Bonnie in there somewhere

No need to making fun of Bonniesituation's age.

ProudDUB

Or that he wore wellies to school.

Every day.

Until he was 34.

Good news with MDMA.

I couldn't understand why he was not brought on in the final last year, just yo do what he did the year before, his balling carrying and distribution into the inside forwards is the best Dublin have.

Had we lost that game that would have stuck with me as much as the 2012 Mayo game when it was just a bit too late by the time he came into midfield.

Bonniedog

He is playing out of his skin, except for Boden for which there ought to be special award :-)


Not many chaps can say that their interventions won championships; 2011 when he blocked the pass, the knock on to Mackers in 2013, and indeed beating cranky puss Sheehan to the ball in 2015.

That ball was aimed at Sheehan, MDMA stole it from him, the pup!

Stoner

He also patched up the soft spot we had in the middle up to 2009. Himself and Brennan.

Bonniedog

Indeed. Was he starter in 2014 against Donegal?

I know Ger wasn't and there was no way that avenue down the centre would have existed if either or both were there.

Bonniedog

Team named for Sunday. Callaghan, Moran and Malone in from Cuala. Ryan picked instead of Treacy. Be more competitive than in league, but big ask.

McGuinness largely tactically bypassed him in that game.

Stoner

Getting stuck in so far anyway!
Second goal was great

ProudDUB

Nerves are shredded. Feck ya anyway Gilroy, it's only May FFS ! :eek:

Dyr

Happy out, this ref and our wayward shooting is all that kepy kilkenny in it

seanhynes

Cracking game ,bloody good effort from Dublin , Keaney going off was a bad blow

ProudDUB

Bloody gutting that....

corny

Shame we couldn't see that out. We lost all shape when Keaney and Malone departed. Subs added legs but we needed composure. Backs, as a unit were immense. Referee did indeed keep them it.

Reasons to be positive...well i never.

Sickening should have known better against that shower.
In fairness Kilkenny supporters and players seemed rattled.
It really shows up the stupidity of playing "home" games in Croke Park.
There will be a proper acid test away on the 20th.
At least there seems to be some sort of hope now I suppose.

copacetic

Much better performance but sloppy to not make the most of it. Hopefully can make it a bit more consistent too.

Wicklow beat Offaly to face dubs in next round in football.

Bonniedog

Robbed, /simple as that,

hunter164

We weren’t robbed, we just couldn’t close the game out. You can blame the ref all you want but we missed too many easy points and we couldn’t close the game out, not the referees fault. The ref was bad for both sides not just one.

Bonniedog

Free out for Walsh goal. Perhaps we might not have won despite that,

Both can be true. We certainly lacked composure when it mattered but that doesn't exonerate the referee. As soon as KK sniffed the comeback they got every decision. He seemed an emotional type. Maybe he got caught up in the atmosphere.

He didn't like a physical game anyway. Two KK lads behind me were obviously Brian Cody disciples. Annoyed the **** out of them the way he kept getting involved in the game.

windy shepard henderson

think today was a decent performance but gilory deserves time to get a settled team together , the run cuala have been on over the last two years it wont be until next year when he finds out his best 15 , playing home games in parnell is also a far better idea then croke park, dublin virtually impossible to beat in killester (or donnycarney )

.

Kilkenny crowd were vocal as ever (and fair play to them) and it got to him, they were blowing the whistle for him most of the time. Not an intercounty standard ref,

Consistency has always been a problem for us so important thing now is we keep that intensity up and see how it works on bigger pitches.

Very positive start to the championship yesterday.
Half back line was immense, Moran such a great addition, which also freed up Rush for the forwards.

Wexford is a massive game next week, hopefully that game brings us on, instead of setting us back.
