Dublin GAA Discussion Thread: Mod Note - No 'Dublin Dominance' chat allowed!

I added 2 to my basket. And 4 went in. Deleted 2 of them and all 4 got deleted and now there's none available. Absolute melt.

Got 2 for 701.

Managed to get 2 for 326 on my phone just after I not the 701's.

Seems tickets are slowly dripping back from closed and cleared baskets.

This article made me laugh

According to some Meath fans - David Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’ over the stadium speakers and Dublin coming out first with the above music gives The Dubs an unfair advantage.

Ground control to deluded royals? 😆

Any know where the res dubs forum is gone??

All the above but I don't think there is trouble in the camp.

I think most fans who watched the games properly feel it is more than likely we will fall short . The squad overall is weaker and while if we got our best team on the pitch we certainly would be competitive I expect us to come up short. Kerry at this point look the most likely and will win a couple more over the next few years .

It's novel seeing weakness in Dublin so there might be a tendency to exaggerate the minor shortcomings of late. They'll still be formidable opponents whose resolve has always proved greatest.

While Kerry obviously have scoring potential they've yet to prove they're up to besting Dublin in a battle. They have their owns problems at the back too and the likes of O'Callaghan and Rock aren't known for profligacy. It wouldn't be a shock to me to see Tyrone win through to the final either.

Mayo just won't get enough scores against Dublin to win.

It does make it a bit more interesting though... not knowing for certain whether Dublin are still the same animal.

Hope your right and somehow we can go all the way one more year. That would be unreal.

have spare upper hogan if anybody stuck for tomorrow

It's still dublins to lose IMO

Kerry needed an injury time penalty don't forget to get a draw and same in 20

In 19 and 20, Dublin beat mayo easy enough

Edited because of accidental question mark - which looked gas in fairness

Irrelevant, as much as you would like it to be played in Anfield!, I am just linking the team lists.

Edit I see what happened question mark was accidental.😨

Dublin just can't score as efficiently or in great a number as the top teams, they are always capable of a shock result like Galway but they just don't deliver consistently. Three Dublin players have scored in that first half, in contrast, Cork have 7 scorers!

Awful performance. We were slow, ponderous and disjointed. Cork weren't even that good, although i suspect they could have upped it if really threatened.

Im inclined to agree there will be another name on Sam this year. The edge seems to have gone off Dublin but that said with a full strength side they will be hard to beat. Put Mick Fitz, Johnny Small, McDaid and Murchan and you have a completely different set up. Up front despite Con and Dean we need another player. A lot of these lads have so many miles on the clock its understandable they they could be a little "off colour".

I think Kerry are favorites. They have matured big time in last year. Seamus O'Sé will be key for them. I think he is as valuable to them as David Clifford and he is now more consistent. They are better in defense despite the first half against Cork. Tyrone on their day will be a match for anyone. They are playing much better football with Dooher and Logan in charge.

Either way what a journey the Dubs have been on. Great ambassadors for the game and role models to young people everywhere.

I don't know if it is as bad as that, that a route and branch change is needed? A couple of natural forwards would transform that Dublin hurling team. They seem to lack a focal point at all an 'out ball'. The game today kind of went how most people would have thought it went before the game. Dublin showing heart but being kept at arms length.

Is it time to move Chris Crummy back to the backs? He was fairly ineffective today. Works damn hard as usual 100% but it is pointless having a fella like him there just causing havoc if he does not have a natural forward to work off.

Dublin seem destined to be in that limbo sort of level trying to hang on to the lower top tier of hurling counties, but are way ahead of most of the second tier - arguably the top of it.
