NFL Division 1 2019 Dubs again?

[under the bar]

Towards the end of the first half Dublin were a joy to watch paying the ball around but didn't result in a score

Usual cynicism fromTyrone. Not sure how their no 22 stayed on the pitch after taking out Fenton in the 1st half. Weak ref and Tyrone took advantage. It is strange not to have a league final to forward to

So despite being outplayed by 14 men and are now bleating that it should have been 15 v 13?  Typical yapping jackeen! 

Ah look enjoy your LEAGUE win.

Oooohhh. Check out the wee bitch who has supported the Dubs from 2014 and throws a hissy fit if they lose!

Dublin is rattled lads. It's only a matter of time till we get Sam back amongst the bushes.

It was a yellow card offence, he didn't give it, it wouldn't have changed the game or left Tyrone a man down. Don't be bitter! Tyrone were fantastic tonight (mostly). Few errors here and there but nothing to worry about.
The Dublin empire is in trouble. 3 defeats in 6 games, they look there for the taking everytime they go out now. The aura of invincibility is gone.

Listen they won loads but the rest of us didn't challenge them except for Donegal and Mayo. As bad a Tyrone Kerry outfit  Etc as there has been left Mayo and Donegal  as the only hopes.. it's changing and I can't see them doing the 5. I'm predicting Tyrone Kerry and Galway to improve on recent championship effforts and one of these 3 will take theDubs. My money's still on Kerry.

I thought Tyrone played very well tonight and in fact played good football. Obviously a serious focus over past few weeks on getting longer ball into the forwards.

Key to this has been Mattie's form in there winning dirty ball (hat tip to McShane too!) but Ritchy Donnelly has made a huge difference in upping the quality of the long ball.

Hampsey's ball into McShane for his final score was sublime.

Don't know whether I enjoyed the football or Dublin7's hissy fit here more!

That's  right its a hissy fit. I did say well done, but if you choose to take it another way, well that is your choice. Whatever

Where and when did you say "well done"?

Previous page I said enjoy your LEAGUE win. If you want to sit on ypur high horse good look to you. I hope you enjoyed the game. Unfortunately my main experience in the 2nd half was a drunk tyrone fan falling on my friend, breaking his pint glass on her and covering her in beer. Thankfully the gardai dealt with the ahole.

Christ you had a bad night. Ur team beat off it , Bollocks frozen and no hanky panky  from g/f later on cos she's in no mood over her coat getting beered!!!

Functional win for Galway today, plenty of the usual complaints but the form of john Daly, Danny Cummins and Ó Laoi are positives. Division 1 secured with a game to spare and still a chance to make a league final, all without a fairly big chunk of first team players leaves us in a good place heading into championship. Wonder will we see a couple of the Corofin boys against Tyrone next week, Silke and Molloy are badly needed in defence, O'Donnell and Bradshaw are done IMO.

O'Donnell and Bradshaw may not be nailed on starters come championship but both have had relatively decent league campaigns, whilst others are unavailable, and will offer decent cover off the bench as we progress through the year - I wouldn't be so dismissive of either just yet. 

Very good league campaign todate, especially with all the absentees.  The lads you mentioned have impressed for sure and despite all the criticism, some deserved, KW has managed the situation very well.  As other Galway posters have alluded to here, I have more concerns about the forwards right now!  Conversion rates are way to low versus chances created.  Would hope to see that improve when Comer and especially Burke are back in the team.

Onward to Healy Park and looking forward to it!

Says it all with O'Rourke mourning Dublin not in the League Final with the loss of revenue to the GAA.

Any thoughts on Mayo's win over Kerry?

Tyrone were very focused last night and even the concession of the early goal didn't derail them as it would have in previous meetings with the Dubs.

The result leaves the Dubs with a lot to work on coming into the summer if they're to have any chance of staying on top.

[clarshack]

Great win for Tyrone last night. Cathal McShane and the 2 Donnelly's were excellent. Also thought the referee was fair and unbiased.

[the goal was on]

Tyrone were excellent, dubs execution poor on night. There defence was missing fitzsimmonds mc Mahon mc caffrey and the wee boy who usually picks up sludden so they will tighten up there as things go on. Lost small too and James mc Carthy looked off the pace. The gap has closed and dubs forwards particularly there dubs not as dynamic as they were.

[Wildweasel74]

Gap hasn't closed based on league games. Dublin come championship are a different animal. There's def a problem at full back but I see only Kerry as possible upsetting the apple cart but as last nite showed, they are inconsistent.

Your lack of self awareness is astounding.

Really. Ive never had any problem in the premium section before. Never had people bring glass pint glasses out to the seats, had them collapse drunk on a lady and then give the lady s**t and blame her. If you think that's normal I'm glad I dont know you

Normal behaviour in your neighbourhood probably, but thankfully your type aren't usually welcome on the premium level.

I know I much prefer the hill rather than pretentious fool like yourself, but fornleague games at this time of year, why not? At least the food was good

The result proves little. Mayo won't be playing Kerry in Tralee on a pissy, windy night in the summer. Dublin will continue to be the golden child with home games and still financially doped. This tom foolery of the League will soon be all forgotten. I hear talk of the ''GAP'' being closed. Tyrone have never had any problems with Dublin in the League. The GAP is there on and off the field! And 2019 will be no different. Dublin are 8/13 to win the AI. Tyrone are 12/1. Kerry are 7/2 based on god knows what? They have a sh1te full back line!

Totally disagree re GOD and Brads.
Both still have plenty to offer

Brilliant win tonight for Mayo on the road. Didn't give them a chance. Midfield is definitely AOS best position. Mattie Ruane a r3al find and took his goal well. Loftus didn't impress and I thought Boland did more than him when he went on for him. James Durcan was poor also. I have to say for a few minutes early in the second half I was getting frustrated with the lateral handpass shenanigans. Conditions were terrible but well done to the lads for digging it out. Monaghan next up, another difficult test.

Tonight's selection was very brave by Horan and makes the win even more remarkable. Ruane and McDonagh are keepers but Horan cannot be too pleased as regards panel development - especially forwards. Alright, there were some good performances there tonight but without Kevin McLoughlin we would have got nowhere near it. I'm pinning my hopes on Ryan O Donoghue - realising that he is out injured and has yet to make senior debut but that's where we are imo.

I think you are unduly pessimistic here, moy. After all, the conditions underfoot were pure cat ; it was an away game against our long time nemesis and it sure was brass monkey weather! Some played better than others but all put it on the line, no holding back.
I was definitely pleased with the level of determination for start to finish. That's why I wouldn't be too hard on Michael Plunkett, he made a few poor choices but he has shown good promise in the past and I'd add him to the keeper list.
BTW, what's the story with Evan Reagan? Is he still hampered by injuries  or has he gone off the boil? He has shown great promise alright but, since his first shoulder injury, must be 4 years ago, he's not the force I thought he'd be.

I was on the hill a few years ago for a Saturday evening league game and there was a group of Dublin "supporters" throwing coke up their nose for the full 70mins.Their behaviour became more and more erratic as the game went on. I'd take dealing with the odd drunkard over this, every day of the week. But each to their own,  its all about what you are used to and comfortable with I suppose. Modern life is rubbish.
