Dublin GAA Discussion Thread - Capital Punishment

It's the weekend! ARRGGGHHHH!!!! So excited!!!

Also, last year, for the replay, I came down with a terrible dose of the man flu, had to drink my pints while shivering the whole time, thought I was going to pass out several times, but we still won! Yesterday I woke up with the shivers and a sore throat, so we're definitely going to win!

And we laugh at the Mayo curse when a semi comatose CIAB popping paracetamol is our lucky omen!

If anyone is feeling unwell, not just you CatMan, and in particular those with tickets, I'd recommend, nay urge you, as a Doctor, to stay at home and not spread your germs to other patrons in Croke Park, especially the poor children whose immune system may not be strong enough to defend themselves against the onslaught of a potential flu. You could potentially start an epidemic. The consequences are very serious and could you live with yourself afterwards? Could you?!

Anyway. On a completely unrelated matter, I'll also be glad to take your ticket if you chose not to go.

This is good, but I feel more relaxed if it were to develop into full scale pneumonia.

Not a drop forecast at the minute - winds are given as gentle breeze 4m/s - so no excuses then *cough* from us anyway

Dyr

A fine day, no injuries and Dublin Joe on the whistle etc. etc.

Slattsy

Lots of rain Saturday evening and into the night. Ground will be fierce greasy with the sun beating down on it from early Sunday morning.

That wont suit the Dubs.

In fairness, as bad as a day that was, the match itself was an absolute cakewalk for Dublin.

Yes, but Mayo are a tougher proposition than the ladyboys from the Kingdom

Anybody hear the suggestion that Connolly wasn't played until late in the semi final because he got two black cards earlier in the season and if he had gotten a third he would of been suspended?

Also, got my ticket yesterday, cant wait ! !

Mountjoy Mugger

Yeah - saw that theory put forward by a former Mayo player yesterday.

gormdubhgorm

Jayus I can't wait three in a bleedin row? Or 'only'
a double

I am trying my best to soak all this anticipation and pre-game stuff up. Might never see the likes of it again.

Players cant miss AI Final if accumulate 3 black cards. The one against Monaghan would have been rescinded as wrongly given.

I remember some of these boys in the Inter Firms, plus Charlie & Dave Foran

Haven't posted here in a long time...my nerves and head are truly all over the shop. Never wanted another final against these lads. After last year's muck I was glad of the rest. But it's on again

If they play football against us they will lose. But they won't. It's going to be a war they bring. More of the same. Anything to get them over the line. Sure don't they deserve it!!!

It won't be pretty. We're much better this year. They reckon they are too. I don't see it. Here's to a another great day...

Ah Charlie Redmond is a really witty character,recalling the five minutes post his sending off in the 1995 final on the OTB roadshow on Eir Sports 1!

Mayo won the Junior Interfirms this year....

Slattsy

Team named. No surprises.

Someone put up a fancy graphic of the team!

Bonniedog

DUBLIN XV vs Mayo: Cluxton; McMahon, O’Sullivan, Fitzsimons; Cooper, Small, McCaffrey; Fenton, McCarthy; Kilkenny, O’Callaghan, Scully; Mannion, Andrews, Rock


Scully is the only change, in for Lowndes. They usually make at least one change before throw in.

Question for the Dubs.

Out of curiosity, what is the latest and the most that Dublin have been behind this year ?

If guessing it's no more than a point or two and no later than 10 mins.

Bonniedog

In league they were behind in Tralee until injury time and drew, I think. Were 4/5 down to Mon in Clones nearing last ten, and of course lost league final while hauling in a 5/6 point deficit.

They were a point down at the final whistle - league final.
