Ros away to Dublin 20th July 2019

[Hound]

Roscommon #4 has thrown his team under the bus for the 2nd half.

Were going to get well beaten regardless  lack of discipline from Conor Daly. Roscommon have no S&C to be competitive without a break between games as seen now v Galway,Mayo and Tyrone in the last years and when you are up against the most conditioned team in Ireland its a nightmare scenario for the rossies.

Still a ridiculously stupid act by Daly. Two fingers to his teammates.

Dublin playing superbly. Con was just terrific in the first half, and McCaffrey's an absolute gem of a player. Roscommon though are probably perfect opponents to allow Dublin show their stuff.

Attendance of 36K. Where are the Gaa going to get the money to keep funding the Golden Child?

Probably start cutting the funding to the rest of the county.

A stat I saw earlier

Dublin have won 8 of the last 11 Leinster U21/20 football titles and 4 out of the last 9 All-Ireland U21/U20 football titles (they're joint favourites to win the All-Ireland this year as well).
They won 7 Leinster titles and no All-Ireland in the previous 45 years.

That's because of the Dublin development panels. Which get zero funding from the Games Developmet funds. The GDOs have zero interaction with the Dublin elite players.

I couldn't believe the amount of people after last weekend saying Kerry's forwards are better than Dublin's. Clifford is the only one that would start for Dublin.

The super 8s have been a real step down in football excitement following the provincials. Judging by the crowds no one is too interested.

With four teams in action, the attendance is diabolically low.
Horan and Pauric Duffy can spout all the crap they want but anyone with a titter of sense knows something has to be done and fast to tackle the cause of such low turnouts.

They'll have to take ALL the games out of Croke Park at this rate. Too many matches being played in funereal atmospheres. Doesn't make for an attractive product.

Dublin GAA barely bother to do any fund-raising they are so awash with money.

Keep denying that increasing participation numbers and providing these increased numbers with professional coaching from pretty much the day they first kick a ball has no impact whatsoever 10/15 years down the road when these lads are playing senior football.

Everyone who's not from Dublin can see the blatant dishonesty and the afront to basic logic in your approach.

The GAA won't stop funding Dublin absent a collapse in attendances
Bring it on .
They do not care about competition and they deserve it

And the peak  of Mount Everest just hangs in the air.

The tackling from Roscommon was really lazy and indisciplined.

The lad who chucked it and got sent off in the first half should be getting some harsh words from his manager and team mates.

Con O'Callaghan looks scarily good right now.

Dublin are simply a brilliant football team regardless of all the advantages they may or may not have. But feck me their games are incredibly boring to watch.
