    The spread is apparently 24-25 points...

    Won't be getting near that based on first half ha.

    In fairness we don't need to win by twenty points but we where losing for nearly half of the those 35 minutes.

    No need to play basketball either. Ya there playing everyone back Wexford but 53 minutes in and only 11 points against a team like this is just not good enough no matter how you look at it.

    No fear of that based on the performance so far. It's not about the winning margin but the performance is not unimportant against arguably the 3/4th worst team in the country.

    I'm not saying its good, or I am not somewhat worried about year

    But it's not the first time we have had a game like this in Leinster

    Dublin 0-15 0-7 up with a few minutes to go. Wexford will be delighted overall. Dessie will no doubt go on the ‘things to work on’ line

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I am starting to wonder if Dublin are starting to be a bit too dependant on him? Against div1 sides it could be a surprising struggle if he ever gets injured?

    The only positive I can see from this is Dean Rock is back. We know the level of Leinster we know what where up against so today just wasn't good enough full stop.

    I hope it's just a bad day and the performance improves next day out but ya the Kerrys and Mayos will be delighted with that today if it's how we're gonna perform going forward. It better bloody not be.

    I don't remember us ever playing that badly for the vast majority of the game against a team like that.

    There's a serious lack of urgency far to much keep ball and waiting for the perfect opportunity.

    Its Wexford ffs just go at them a bit you can be bloody well sure our rivals would of hammered them today.

    At one stage I was thinking few bounces of a ball, if Dublin get caught cold etc. And those Wexford lads would never have to buy a pint again in their lives!

    That should please everyone. Gap closing. Very poor game with Howard the only standout player on display. Dublins injury list growing by the game. It’s the most open AI in years.

    One just to get out of the way and job done. Only matters what way they are for the semis and final.

    Glad Wexford were let keep the final score close though, only shows up Galvin as even bigger spoofer.

    So Cluxton has asked for time away. Hard to see him back, I don't get the impression he's the type to just waltz back in.

    Sunday Sport on RTE had short interview with Farrell. He said he hasn't retired but wanted time away.

    Cluxton steps away. Dessie confirms. He’s nearly forty, what a servant. He’s left us in good stead mentoring Evan.

    Evan is doing very well obviously no one touchs the level of Cluxton atm but I don't think it will cost us as much as some of the other departures will.

    I honestly couldn’t agree less

    Wexford only scored 7 points over 74 minutes in Wexford , it’s not like Dublin just held on at the end in croke park .

    Dublin will still canter to the AI

    I suppose most won’t be happy until Dublin are on the other end of a hiding.
