Dublin GAA Discussion Thread - Capital Punishment

A pull on the arm as he’s about to kick it and referee as blind to it as he’s been most things where fouls on Dublin have been concerned.. then they go the other end and game over.

McMenamins foot was 'hooked' there. A definate penalty. Ref doesn't want to know and ignores the desperate Dublin screams.

We've done a whole lot of nothing with the ball.

Sure the ref didn’t want to know last week when Murphy was wrestled to the ground in the last minute to make sure Donegal wouldn’t equalise.

In fairness, Dublin haven't been great in the league particularly up front, they were due a defeat given their lucky escape against Monaghan and Donegal. A defeat may be no bad thing, they should beat Meath and it's probably down to the Galway match to see if they make the final.

Chalk McHugh

Damn. Bad loss. And i feel it opens the door to a Galway v Kerry final. Fought hard as ever but it was inevitable we'd come out the wrong side of a tight game so hats off to Tyrone who fought hard themselves for the two points on offer. No panic for us Dubs. Brutal night. Safe journey home Dubs.

Another poor outing so far into Farrell's reign. We've yet too look anything like the team who have won 5 in a row. Some very worrying early signs.

Wouldn't be worrying yet as lads probably only training 1/2 weeks. With super 8s and I'd say our lads will be just happy to consolidate league position. The younger lads will reap benefits of this game.

Some things are happening that we're not used to alright.

Was it just me or did Jack McCaffrey look like Ger Brennan in an O'Byrne cup tie. Definitely carrying timber.:)

Agreed.

I'm seasick from the shaking camera.....

Disappointing thing from that game was having a reasonable lead and not capitalizing on it. Seemed too often when a Dublin half forward beat a man or two out wide, looked up for a pass he could see no Dubs to lay it off to and those ahead of him were very tightly marked. Did Dublin play the conditions well enough ? You’d have wanted to see runners off the shoulder of the player in possession, a hand pass, make more ground, shoot, but too much hit and hope....not enough looking after the ball which in those conditions was of paramount importance .

It’s was like when we had that lead they almost looked too desperate to get another score, when really holding onto the ball, running, drawing fouls was the way to go, or was it ?... Because ‘Another’ absolute joke of a ref, almost looking like he is trying to actively enable the home win, rugby tackles by Tyrone ( high around the neck and low) waving play on...

How Soon Is Now

The loss has been coming this season so far we have been riding on late come backs and you cant do that every game.

You can look at weak refs and bad weather all day but fact the matter is we didnt make the most of our possession. Far to often we where looking for the extra pass when last season we would of knocked it over. Ya you can take the weather and the fact tyrone defended in major numbers into account but our forward line has looked very poor compared to last season.

I know its early days but the sooner the better Con is back. That lad is something very special hes unstoppable at times.

Kerry would be royally ****ed if the likes of Clifford or O'Shea got an injury and i think our forward line is missing Con O'Callaghan
