Dublin GAA Discussion Thread - Capital Punishment

Jaden

Murchan for Small is John picks up a yellow. He will be targeted, and although a great player, he can be his own worst enemy when it comes to requiring calmness.

Nothing against John Small personally - but I hope he does not start for this reason the game is too important and the Kerry forwards lethal.

My oul lad is sorted with a match watching venue in Tralee. I reckon he's spent two days doing research. And my poor mother in the Bon Secours recovering from a knee replacement. I ring to check on my mother and he talks about the match. This mornings installment involved meeting a Kerry lad who has a ticket for the game and claims whatever the result, he'll be happy. A kerry win, grand. A Dublin win and he witnesses history live.

I'm contemplating getting a train outta the sticks and hitting either Smithfield or a pub. But the missus is looking at the cost of taxis to and from the station, train fare, booze and grub. She reckons I could go on the lash locally for a fraction of the cost.

SHE DOES NOT GET IT.:(

A liability bigtime. He was bery lucky not be black carded after 15 mins v Mayo in drawn All Ireland. Only for the stupidity of D Vaughan he would probably have cost us that All Ireland. Sent off again last years final. Its a miracle he hasn't cost us a big game.Warrior type player lacking a bit between the ears. I was never a big fan.

Taxis wouldn't cost you much from Heuston to Smithfield or up around Croke Park. Im a taxi driver so 10e should cover a short trip.You'd
stroll down to Smithfield in 15 minutes. No alcohol though and probably full of families and kids.

Stop- you'd walk from heuston to Smith in 10 - or get the Luas door to door. I have a Wilson so that dilemma is sorted - if I didn't - I'd seriously consider Smithfield. Either way enjoy the game!

Im watching it at home. Wouldn't go near Smithfield. Want to soak up the build up on radio and tv all the punditry. Will work from 07.00 in morning. Off the drink so no place like home. No ticket so dont mind.

30 quid return from where I live to the nearest station that gets me to Heuston. That's the issue even before the train fare. In Laois. Not a great spot to watch it.

My sympathies.

If you are in the south of the county, a hostelry in Kilkenny or Tipp would be a better bet if you can there, and save on the train. Less likely to find Dub obsessives and those resentful of success.

Spot the Dub! Never thought of that end of things! (Nephew plays for O'Dempseys - we try and keep it a secret in this parish!)

There's no sign of tickets. I've hit all the decent culchie pubs, even the Tipp ones, and there's **** all.

Resigned to watching it at home*.

*pub.

Really sorry to hear that. Saw a request earlier from a woman who I saw at the league match earlier this year in Tralee and she was looking for a ticket also. I heard even 88 year old Molly Malone only got sorted out today and that poor lad was in Clones, Omagh, Roscommon plus all the matches at Croker, league and championship.

It wouldn't take a genius to come up with a loyalty fob or such like to count the number of games a person attends or take account of tickets bought to offer some sort of credit to dedicated supporters who can't avail of season tickets or PP.

Chalk McHugh

Home now for Up for the Match. So bad its kinda good sometimes. Like Fair City haha. Who will they roll out tonight? Few candidates - Charlie Redmond, Keith Barr, Paddy Cullen, Vinny Murphy, Pillar Caffrey, Bomber Liston, Jack O Shea, Darragh O Se, Paul Galvin. If one of these lads doesn't makean appearance id be surprised. Jackie Hurley is no Grainne Seoige though. Grainne and Des Cahill reminded me of Beauty and the Beast. No eye candy now. Enjoy lads.

At least that clown David Brady isn't on it.

Like Fair City I love to laugh at it but when Dublin weren't involved. Always very funny then. But the last FOUR years:D were dull. I'm expecting tonight's to be all 5 in a row stuff with failed attempts to be thrown in aswell. Recording it. I'll watch it on Monday morning nursing a hang over, IF Dublin win.

Can't do up for the match anymore. So bad it's just unwatchable....

So low key this week. Have tried to keep my head away from it all.
Meath guy in work today said he hopes we do it.
Had to lay down for a while lol!
Mates being sending me pics of Electric Picnic for the last couple of days. Hopefully tomorrow evening I will have something better to send them back.
Best of luck to you all. Hope those who need tickets get them. Keep it blue....

Did Brogan and O Gara make the 26?

Wondering the same.

I was in Gills last year and moved to Bridge Tavern when heard that they wouldn't let Hill tickets down Jones Road, the fkers, and there were people in both pubs had gotten tickets.

Auld Triangle also not a bad place as it has Kerry connections through owners, and lads from a good few clubs as well as the Brennan family frequent it on match days.

At worst, you will end up in a good spot to soak up atmosphere and see the game in convivial company.

Yeah still may head up around Croker way tomorrow. I've got lucky before and a few mates got sorted too last year off some Tyrone lads.

Did that in 2013. Melted my head. Mayo's support resembled a westlife concert. Young girls mid teens all asking the way to Croker. Broke my heart.... Watched that match in a right ****e hole too. Great result but poxy day.
Hope you get sorted..., don't let it ruin your day if you don't get lucky. its an unfair system but it's always been that way.

The dancing Kerry garda is on. If he was a block of Kerry butter he'd eat himself.

Just met a fella from Cahersiveen - played a bit if ball with Mick O - in his 70's - great chat - like all Kerry supporters - last word - 'at my age I don't travel for nothing' - blood draining stuff!

I'd say it between Brogan or O'Carroll for Sean Bugler spot on the bench. Jim Gavin doesn't do sentiment.

Have a read of the Kerry GAA forum for some light relief from the TV.
I have been a lurker for years. Really enjoyed it. Very knowledgeable people talking football.....
Well it's nearly full on hatred now...even better reading but for a different reason

Grandeeod

Jaysus folks, to do the 5 in a row tomorrow and really stick it to Kerry, would please me so much. Drinkin beer, but its not having the desired effect tonight.
