Was tight for 55 mins decent effort from Louth but the Dubs will likely win comfortably now.

The Dubs are hard to beat at home.

Are they? It's been  so long since they played  at  Parnell Park, I can't remember

It's a big help to be playing at home no doubt about it.

Feel sorry for Louth as they have a lot of good players but they just can't compete against a professional setup for 70+ mins. Not many other teams can either.

Explain how the Dubs setup differs to other counties....? Leaving aside CP

GDO's in every club.
Jobs for the boys (that are often not really job

Look at the money Dublin county board get from the GAA. More than all the rest put together.

I feel sorry for the GAA. They are stuck with this biased mess. Corporate boxes, premium tickets mean they are blackmailed into Dublin having all these home matches. Dublin supporters don't travel either, despite all the myths about this. This is Dublin's 8th home game this year!

It was indeed stupid. No need for it.

As for the match itself we were well beaten by a superb team.
Size, pace, S&C all miles ahead of us.
We had a great rally after half time but messed up a few chances to equalise or get ahead.
Outscored 1-8 to 0-2 after.
Shocking small attendance 1,521 (80% at least Ros) for an All Ireland semi final, no sense of occasion about the whole thing, no promotion of any kind leading up to it etc.
Would having 2 week breaks between Provincial Finals, AI semis and Final cause the sky to fall?
Could still be done and dusted by end of May.

It's a pity as Tyrone just got him back from injury.

Well it's the lodges/villas I meant. I wouldn't be one for the aul tent now. Fond of my air con and instant hot water. Iberian finals are in Salou next Saturday with a bank holiday on the Monday so we're going down and staying for a few days.

Sanguli is the best Eurocamp I've been to by a fair bit. Class spot!!

Heading to Cambrils this year and interested to see how it compares to Marina di Venezia. 

Cambrils is fantastic. Been 5 times. Kids love it.
