Dublin GAA Discussion Thread - Capital Punishment

Ken Tucky

What's Omagh like for parking lads. I've only ever been to Newry for matches but that's just over the border.
Do the PSNI allow the dumping of cars illegally for occasions like this?
Excuse my ignorance, it's just my turn to drive.

I miss that thread. The Kerry one has gone all melodramatic and the Mayo one is y'know the Mayo one.

12 hours to go - jaysis it's gonna be a long day! Quietly confident we'll win on the basis that we outwork them in most areas of the pitch. Any idea whose reffing today? Will head up around lunch time and see if there's a warm welcome in store

It's all the stuff that has to be done before you head off Doc, training, the garden and the hedge Doc!

Driver's licence expired on Thursday, was thinking of renewing in Drogheda this morning - that should take me up to lunch time with the queues :rolleyes:

The mayo thread has gone very quite.

I suspect it's all about the international kite show on this weekend.
Seligehgit has entered the longest kite contest with his life-sized Barry Moran kite.

PARlance had to drop out of the best kite competition as the strings came off the Flying Parsons entry.

A very late David Clarke entry is favourite to win the ABD award, even though it hasn't been flown this year and it wobbles on the final approach.

Safe travels to all today.

Time to unleash hell !

Had an offer to get a bus down with the lads from the job, but one of the lads that goes to the games won't go on it.

Heading up at about 2 in car now.

I'll be right behind you.

Lads in Dungannon had a bus going. But I need to be out of Dodge after the game asap.

So it'll be park up on castle Street and off ya pop.

Bonniedog

Raging that I can't go. Who needs families!

Anyway, PP tickets found a good home and will be reduced to listening on the wireless on earphones by all accounts.

Should be great day and hopefully the right result, but wouldn't make a prediction. MH still has that aura for me of someone who can pull a rabbit out of a hat.

I don't know, I'm getting a Billy Bingham 1993 vibe off this one.

No! I feel bad enough already, and worse I had Sky Sports until switched last month

It will however bring back memories of being away in the early 1990s and listening to Dublin games on Sunday Sport when Jimmy Magee was the man with the mike.

He was great broadcaster but he had irritating habit of interrupting games at crucial stages with "And now back to Carnoustie where Langer is standing over a four foot putt. Which reminds me of the time Christy O'Connor junior,,,"

For fks sake Magee, did Charlie put that free over or not!

So Dublin vs Roscommon in Croker is going to be a pretty poor turn out. I actually wouldn't mind this one being played in Parnell park!

Sure come a bit early and watch Mayo in the u20's it will be just like the good auld days with mayo and dublin on the hill in harmony!

Just back now...Tyrone supporters giving the ref some abuse in the end I was in..opposite our supporters.
Did they have a point?? Taught Coldrick? was alright!

Our forwards are going to have to sharpen up though. Pretty poor tonight again. Maybe that's because of the opposition but they are better than those last two matches

One or two went against them but they did themselves no favours going to ground very easy. They were finding it hard to create chances in front of the posts so they were looking for handy frees to keep the scoreboard ticking. Colderick was onto them and the Dublin tacklers created a good picture for him in the main.

Thought Coldrick let a lot go this evening - it was great to see a ref not blowing every few seconds.

blanch152

Was down the Tyrone end as well. Enjoyed the banter and the craic, much better than some of the "supporters" you find on here from other teams.

Dublin were never in any real trouble, but like the Donegal match, they were sloppy at times. Howard another very good game.

Defence was really excellent, the tackling was spot on.

Must throw out a mention for Cluxton. One goal conceded in five games. Unlike Donegal where he got away 23 out of 25, the kickout was under pressure today but he came through it again.

He let A LOT go tonight. For both sides. Not sure how I feel about that. At least it kept the players honest to a degree. No point going down & making a meal out of every tackle, if you know the ref is gonna give you eff all.

Thought Jack Flash & Johnny Copper were exceptional tonight. Am still v worried about the forwards. Still not firing on all cylinders. Still, if there is any game to get your mojo back, it's against that lot. My granny could push her walking frame thru that defense & score a handy hat trick. Who got the Man of The Match award?
