Didn't stop Lee Keegan getting POTY after black card in an all ireland final which contributed to their defeat

I do not disagree with this in the slightest.

Yes, we need a break away, splinter group. It just wouldn't be Ireland without one. Doesn't have to be Dublin though.

Think it’s to be last Sunday in August. That’s what it was to be this year but the popes visit pushed it out a week

1st September 2019 as its the 35th Sunday of the year apparently, so it fits in with the fixture schedule.

Interesting stats table in Herald today on CK, BF and Jack.

Kilkenny with higher average score: 2.2 pregame compared to 1.0 for Fenton, but Fenton's shot efficiency is 74% compared to 60.5%. Fenton had 59 foot passes which were completed compared to 29 for Jack and 24 for CK.

Jack naturally ahead on own kickouts won - 17 - given he drops back for a lot of them, but Fenton won 13 of own and 7 of opposition kickouts.

So from a nerdlinger perspective alone, I would have Fenton over either. Hugely important part of this team, and destined to go down as one of, if not THE, greatest midfielder(s.)


And no, I am not his mother :-)

Kilkenny only unplaced one pass for the entire championship if I read that correctly? That's unbelievable.

Serious year for the man. Super nice guy too, does a lot with the kids in Castleknock in his free time.

Yep. One pass astray! He is the Le Bron James of this team

Invidious to be comparing any of them to the other, but it attracts my nerd self!

Unfortunately Raheny were beaten by Crokes tonight so are out.

Looks like there will be no surprises this year; Boden. Crokes, Ballymun and Vinnies. Still a chance Connolly might be back apparently.

A 0-7 to 0-4 win for Crokes. Must've been like a chess match. Time to stop the handpass,widen the goals, .......

Wasn't really down to Crokes. Suited them the way game panned out.

Games like this prove that are just as many people involved in Dublin clubs who are attracted to the dark side as there are in any other county. Shows the importance of having a good management team.

Best of luck to the senior ladies. Heavy favourites for today and rightly so.

Dubs might be favourites but they are playing against 16 here. The referee giving everything to Cork so far and missing several blatant fouls against Dublin players. Correct call with that peno though as I type.

Thought that myself.

That was a great peno there

Stoner

Great penno

Strumms

How is that not a card ?

Stoner

I thinks there is a lot being let go. Some great football so far

Final ball is letting the dubs down at the moment

Stoner

Fecking terrible ball

Fann Linn

Shot themselves in the foot there.

Hower the lads. I see the 1/4 final draw was made today. I know feck all about the club scene up here so wondering what game would be good to go to? Thinking Ballymun v Judes to see Dean Rock and Philly play (have met both twice and they were absolute gents). Or would Vincents v Castleknock be a better match.

Any advice. Thanks.

Strumms

Great finishing there, just needed a little more composure there at the back.

The hail Mary ball into the forwards will be stopped at half time I hope. They should run it in

Hitchens

is there any point in having goalies in women's football?

Floppybits

The dublin forwards need to start getting out in front of the Cork defenders. Every ball going in the Cork ladies are out in front

Cop on to yourself, Ignorant comment and some.

Slattsy

Great finish!

Floppybits

Noelle Healy is having a great game. That second goal was created by her great run

Strumms

THAT was as great a goal as you’ll see in our sport, any level.

Bret Hart

If not for a brain fart from Goldrick we would have been out of sight by now.
