    Interesting news, Rory O'Carroll is back, will be playing with Crokes again. Wonder if he's lost anything.

    See here.

    I can't make out a lot of your post but don't Dublin get far more resources, have a bigger population and their players have a shorter commute to training? Whatever about the rights and wrongs, surely facts can't be denied?

    Yeah, but we don't have that clean country air that all you guys have, so I'd say it's about even, to be honest.....

    Or silage. And slurry.

    (Is there a difference?)

    You have to be able to smell both silage & slurry if you get up in the middle of the night for a coddle sambo to be a true Gael. Which none of our lads are. Obviously.

    Rory O'Carroll back in Ireland gone a long time but be interesting to see if he can get back. Be a big addition to the squad if he does.

    He's gone 4 years now.

    Bit of a stretch to say he'd just walk straight back on to the team, after all that time. Even for him.

    If & it’s a big if we see Rory back playing intercounty, it’ll be next year. Give him a year playing club at least

    Meant to say he's just back in Ireland, and playing club. He's not back with Dublin yet, but I'm sure that Gavin was one of the first to hear.

    Yes.

    He was working as a social worker in a prison in New Zealand counselling cows with post traumatic slurry disorder.

    *insert joke here about it being a rewarding job....with him getting a regular PAT on the back*

    **don't bother inserting joke as most Dubs won't get the cow PAT reference**

    That's very unfair.

    We're all big fans of Pat's here.

    The Sunday Game would be very dull without him.

    No, he was on a holiday for three months funded out of the money given to Dublin GAA by the government so that he could rest and rejuvenate himself for this year.

    I think it has something to do with the horse manure that regularly comes out of Pat Spillane's gob. But I'm not entirely sure.

    Edit: Are you sure you don't mean Portable Appliance Throwing device? The Mayo mob know all about them.

    The other way of looking at is Dublin have to take the league seriously. because the standard in leinster is so poor it is no preparation in any real sense.

    Meh, not sure it's much different in the other provinces , wouldnt put any of the other teams in Munster outside Kerry above Kildare or Meath for example.

    That's a fair point. I'd put money on Kildare and Meath beating anyone in Munster bar Kerry

    Could be three ahead of them in Con but I'd say either of them versus Roscommon would be a good game.

    Kildare did the business on Mayo last year.

    You've Monaghan and Tyrone in Ulster.

    Who knows where Donegal are now you'd think they could beat most on their day but wouldn't be surprised to see Meath or Kildare beat them either

    Cavan and Fermanagh would be competitive against most teams
