Pat Gilroy as the new hurling supremo seems to have gained traction once again, interesting to hear Anthony Cunningham maybe coming with him in as a coach.

It's not true

Its in the Heddald, so must be true.

Roche also suggests that Leeroy throwing his GPS is no different to people taking time over substitutions.

Only watched the game back for the first time this evening. Watching it live I was wondering what Leeroy was up to, running towards Rock when he was talking the free. It really was an unbelievably sneaky thing to do.

The kickout immediately afterwards is hilarious though. Like a throw back to the mid 90's. Both sets of players just ran at each other, like they had almost pre-planned it.

In fairness to "Dublin Joe" I thought he set out his stall early in the game and it was better for it.

I hope it's not, not the Anthony Cunningham bit anyway. I've no problem with the new manager brining in outside help, but not someone who left his former gig under such a cloud. What ever side of the fence you were on with the player heave against him in Galway, his man management and communication skills seem to leave a lot to be desired. There is usually no smoke without fire in these kind of situations imo.

What happens if Dublin players have a problem with specific elements of his coaching, or feel they want to go in a different direction, or they just need better clarity on what he is trying to achieve with them.....what happens then? Will he ruffle feathers the way that he did in Galway? What happens then? Will Pat Gilroy have to play the role of translator or mediator or peacemaker all the time? That will get old in a hurry, no?

It all just has the potential to get very messy imo. Why bring that additional drama on ourselves, especially after the three years of a soap opera we have just had?

He got that galway team as close to an All Ireland as any manager could, I felt they scape-goated him rather than look in the mirror.

Plus the Galway camp seemed to be rife with drama llamas back then.

Bad form when a Mayo man has to tell you that he played last weekend against Crokes. Got sent off too for 2 yellows.

It is. He should just read the 42.

That's where I get all the lines for the Mayo ladies.

Lord lamb of Jesus, I see Andy's misses is expecting her second !

Jayzus Stoner, I hope you aren't implying that the lamb of God had a hand in Mrs Moran being in the family way. I know that Mayo people think that Mr Moran can walk on water, but c'mon now. :eek:

Vinnies v Syls on the Eir Sports 2 tellybox now folks, lest ye forget. Commentary from Dave McIntyre and what sounds like Conal Keaney. Thanks be to Christ we're done with Marty Morrissey, Ger Canning and Martin Carney for the year.

(It must be said. But there isn't any malice in it. It must be said. :rolleyes: )

Edit: Is that Jack Sheedy on the Syls sideline?

Thought the Club games were on the normal Eir channel, they're on Eir 2... bugger that.

ProudDUB

Yeah, there's a French football league preview now on Eir Sports. The Dubs champo is on Eir Sports 2

Hopefully the next game will be a bit more competitive.

Sheedy is managing Slys this year

That was a competitive game anyway. I thought castleknock would do it at the end.

Castleknock just lack a decent forward or two.

Stoner

The castleknock goal, that was a great pass in imo

Thought Crokes edged it overall,bit more of a cutting edge.Great finish by Mannion.

And Galvins involved in Syls too?

Mannion got them over the line. Sullivan showed why he is top class defender. Pat Burke got great goal and won the winning free, He must be like 85 now

Watching Vaughan was like watching Dublin 12/13 years ago.

Mannion and O Sullivan were exceptional,Vaughan is a mere 31 years of age!Burke played very well.

Castleknock needed more out of Kilkenny was surprised how subdued he was, Paul Mannions goal the highlight of that game.

Like against Mayo he was well marked. I imagine Sullivan had some input into game plan!

Was interesting to game to watch. Cuala are 9/4 to beat Judes today.

CatInABox

Looks like we'll find out who the new manager is soon enough.

Hoganstand is reporting that it'll be put to a vote tonight.

I wasn't. When the inter county season ends, it's very common for the inter county lads to be virtually anonymous in their first game back with their clubs. Some of them take up where they left off, but some of them look as if they are almost in the way, they are so out of sync with their team mates and so off the pace of the game.

I don't know if it is the lack of over all training with their club, or exhaustion setting in after a long year, or something else, but I've often been to club games in October, where Philly, Dermo (prior to this year, where he is obviously fresh as a daisy after playing so little football over the summer) MDMA, Berno, Paddy Andrews etc etc may as well not have been on the pitch at all, for all the use they were to their club when they came back. It's a weird one.

No white smoke from the chapel tonight .. vote was postponed
