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

I wouldn't buy anything off you as a Dublin man that doesn't give us any chance of winning this year is not a man that can be trusted.

They should have you giving the team talks!

Edit- do you think the senior players should effectively ‘manage’ Dublin and ignore Dessie?

Well i wouldn't think some of the lads on here would be benificial in giving the panel any team talks anytime soon.

On Dessie i don't know the answer to that. Perhaps that is happening already or will happen. I don't want to throw Dessie under the bus.

Where's Pat Gilroy and what is his role?

Apparently according to 42.ie they describe Gilroy’s role as follows -

‘Gilroy will serve with one possibility being that he could fulfil a similar role to the ‘support role’ that Farrell himself had in 2019 with Mattie Kenny’s Dublin hurlers.’

—-

So I assume that means more than setting out the cones?

Gilroy and Dessie Farrell are chalk and cheese. Gilroy has a presence a leader of men., Confident- assured decisive. Basically everything Dessie Farrell the ‘manager’ is not.

Off hand, I'd say Kerry, Tyrone, Derry, Mayo, and probably Donegal.

Now, I understand the way the draw works and it's unlikely we meet all those teams but that the way I see it.

They did lift Sam.

This video of the Gards noticing Jason Sherlock at a parade in America is absolutely brilliant.

I thought we were at home to Meath today after being away the last day. Will be a tougher game in Navan especially as it's a very wet day. Have to be winning this game, though. It's good the game is on RTE.

No Jack McCaffrey in the squad today. I see Craig Dias on the subs. He's had his chances before don't really see him as the answer. Good to see James Mc starting. Another game to see if Lahiff is an able partner of Fenton. McGarry and O Dell start in the forwards interesting to see how they perform.

Nobody really counts that one. We played less than a handful of games and Dessie didn't have a chance to put his stamp on the team due to the shortened nature of the championship.

I was only thinking that Meath don't even start a decent row anymore, then Whelo says Meath have been a soft touch for 10 years. He didn't sugar coat it anyway.

Nice goal from the O'Gara with the head of hair -Killian. Scoreboard now a truer reflection of the game. Over as contest at half time. Not sure anything can be learnt from this Meath are extremely poor.

By the way, the free awarded to Meath in the lead up to their goal chance was ridiculous

Two very clear things in the first half Meath are **** **** that fluke goal is only thing keeping score looking somewhat respectable and the ref I can't say without getting banned how he's acted.

Decent performance from Dublin some nice quick movement up front should of had a few more goals but hopefully it will come. I'd like to see Con push up a bit more but he's working hard as always and O Gara Is doing very well up there. Nice to see us with a target man to change things up a bit.

By the way who's the clown doing commentary with Marty?

Decent half of football even if it is being played at a walking pace. My god this Maeth team are brutal though.
