Is that the official programme?

Found it on the Hurling Championship thread, as far as I know it is.

Very strange leading up to the final this year little or no buzz around I suppose without the usual ticket availability discussion it seems to have dampened down the chat .Have seen very few flags or bunting .

Put ours out this morning. A few around the vicinity but very little compared to usual.

Was one of few things that gave sense of community and now that's been relegated to a "safe place" too

will centra be selling them like the hurling final?

It'll be Super Valu as the football sponsor I would say. But given they're both Musgrave companies they could end up in both.

DPA's delivery charges are mental.

I've a few spare tickets, 6 in total. Sell on a first come first serve basis. Will accept Revolut.

Payment first and i'll meet you at Quinns before the game about 12. Spread the word.

Anyway..... who expects Howard or Mannion to start? I cant see Dessie throwing any curve balls for this, likely same 15 as Cavan.

He's kept the team the same all the way threw can't see him changing much now unless he has to.

I'd have Mannion starting over Paddy Small as I think he's more reliable and Howard should be in next Fenton one way or another.

Whats needed is a heavy win to secure Dublins position as the greatest team ever. Well thats what Micko was using as his benchmark. I do think it will be closer than a lot of the pundits or the doom merchants think. I think they heavier pitch will be a factor.

I think I will pretend I am going to the final Saturday. I have a choice of 7 old AI Final tickets from different years - which I kept.
I will pick the one which was the best seat.

Hope a good comprehensive win that would be my choice of course that would really infuriate a lot of the pundits .However in reality this could go either way I feel as I have no real idea what level this time we are at after beating poor enough teams .Other years at least the semi a good enough team was there to be beat not so much this year judging by the results of both matches .

Walked past the ticket office on Dorset St today & the metal shutters were pulled down. The place would normally be HOPPING the week of the final. T'wud break your heart.

It is really odd feels like it is trying to gauge where a team is, based on an O'Byrne Cup campaign or the like.

Indeed. Still, would worth the few bob to have one. Be a momento of the weirdest year in GAA history. I hope it is anyway!

Anyone remember the old unofficial programmes that were sold around pitches in the 70s? Used to print the teams from the last games both played

rolling boh

The old unofficial programme really poor quality I think the sellers used to catch un suspecting fans by going a little further away from the ground to sell them .brings back memories .

All 19 Dublin goals from the 2019 Championship (If you are from Mayo look away now!)

Big Back Clock

Jeez the city is fierce quiet. Just the year it is I suppose.

Apart from a few houses in Cabra and Finglas I’ve barely saw a bit of bunting or a banner anywhere.

Or else too comfortable and expectant of a result. Let’s be honest. This is no Ulster or Munster championship upset scenario, as we saw with the semi finals, upsets don’t tend to happen in Croke Park at this stage.

Mayo doing this would be akin to Ireland winning the next rugby World Cup. Forever bridesmaids, but always rated on the top 4 or 5 in the game.
