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

I think we will a lot of last years u20 get game time in league. Greg McEneaney, Theo Clancy, Adam Waddick, Ben Millst and Luke Breathnach. Killian O'Gara, Mark Lavin and James Doran should get a chance too. Would like to Mullin brothers and Andrew McGowan from Crokes get a run during the league.

It would be good to see how these lads step up to senior grade. The likes of Bugler, Gannon, Paddy Small, Basquel, McMahon, Scully will still see plenty of league action. Players such as McCarthy, Fenton, Murchan, Kilkenny, Costello, Howard, Comerford, John Small and Rock will probably play in the final round of games.

100% them lads need to step up and become the new leaders. MacMahon and David Byrne weren't fit to start against kerry should be starters in FB line. Big year for Peadar O'Cofaigh Byrne too. Need him or Brian Howard to partner Fenton in midfield. I say the experienced players mentioned will be involved tomorrow bar McCarty and Rock. Comerford is injured and Howard is away.

He a good football brain but yes similar to Hubbard size counts against him.

It must be I can’t remember. I just the Ballymun fella Keating was corner forward. There is no other Keating plays for Ballymun is there?

Any kildare or Dubs season ticket holders not going in later. looking for an adult or child ticket plz. 

Dont fancy forking out 18 for a childs ticket

Great to have the intercounty season back with a big game in HQ. Good open game so far also. Some nice scores from both teams. Fenton with a cracking goal, John Small with a nice point. A lot of familiarity with our team. Kilkenny, Scully and Costelloe looking lively up front.

Dubs came out and were dominant in first 10-15 minutes of 2nd half but missed quite a few chances. Con looking dangerous.

Kildare then missed a goid goal chance which was saved onto the post

Quite a lively game. Punters getting their moneys worth.

Kildare have been good. Look really fit and giving Dublin their fill of it.

Thought Dublin's decision making was poor at times but thankfully that's something that can be worked on. Overall good to start with a win and build some momentum

I thought Dublin’s best patch was the first part of the second half. I was happy that there was no eejitry mistakes. But then Kildare nearly got a goal. And got a cheap 45 at the end.

I think Dublin switched off or something. But credit to the lillies for sticking at it. But it would have been criminal of Dublin to throw that game away.

As other posters said there was a lot of careless wides. But you could say that was lack of match sharpness.

I can’t remember any of the new lads doing anything silly. So they got their NFL run out. Unscarred which is grand.

The worrying part for me no1 put their hand up to say they are a good option to partner Fenton. I thought lahiff was poor.

And P’OC-Byrne tries hard but is a slogger. Does he cover the ground enough? Like a Homan or a Shane Ryan?

if Howard and Fenton are ever both out I would be very worried. The Derry game v their midfield of Bradley/Glass will be a great test.

So what you are saying is Dublin lads on the panel should have word with the Crokes lads.

there was a rumor going around tonight before the game that con o callaghan has been using jimmy Keavney's old treadmill in the smoking area at the back of mahers pub in ballybough in the run up to the game , judging on tonight's performance he uses the same luigies on his way home aswell!! , hopfully he wont be able to budge by the time we meet ye in 3 weeks time 😂😂
