Come on you Boys in Blue .....

[The Hill is Blue]

For the fourth successive year Dublin will tonight kick off their summer campaign as All Ireland Champions. That's a phenomenal achievement. And no matter how this summer might end this Dublin team will be remembered as one of the greatest ever. They have given Dublin GAA supporters many proud moments and the fruits of their achievements can be seen every weekend across the city when many hundreds of young boys and girls tog out in club grounds across the county.

Good luck tonight lads.

Come on you Boys in Blue

Dublin play in the championship and priceywicey comes along to remind everyone that Dublin's success isn't down to good players and a good manager but money and money alone

You'd thik they'd get a bit of support in that case, rather than being one of 4 teams who's supporters can't fill Portlaoise between them.

Plus, it's way past the M50

Well done lads — but there'll be tougher days ahead. 

[From the Bunker]

Looking forward to seeing this one in a generation group of players winning their 14th Leinster in 15 years and doing the 5 in a row of Sams!

They are some one in a generation group!

On the game Dub's- do yous reckon Costello has done enough to start when yous meet the big boys? What will that mean for Rock?

Makes for an interesting selection headache. Rock's never let us down, so would be harsh on him, but Gavin tends to give weight to whoever is in possession of the jersey

Two years ago in the final against Mayo Dean Rock showed nerves of steel in nailing that late free (despite the best efforts of Lee Keegan). But in a previous final Costello come on very late and killed off Mayo with three points from play. So it could be a very difficult choice.

[thejuice]

I'd have Costello ahead of Rock. Just seems to offer more from play than Rock. I don't think there that much between them as free takers. Rock looked off the pace and subdued in the league games that Dublin lost so a bit of competition for him is no harm at all. That said Dublin can easily carry someone who isn't delivering from play.

[SCFC]

Am I missing something? Is there some reason both Costello and Rock can't start?
