Two complimentary Hogans have been placed at my disposal ;D, so I am going to witness at first hand a modern clash of the Leinster giants (well the last one I witnessed in the flesh was the 1990 Leinster Final). Looking forward to comparing and contrasting the intesnity of this clash, with that of the Ulster Championship, particularly last week's Armagh Donegal game
Watch out for a full report next week :)

Ziggy, that brings back memories of the toilets, sorry the Portaloos at the state of the art MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey, when the planners decided that television standard floodlights exceeded proper toilets in terms of importance

I want a good, open enjoyable game of championship football with some hard hits thrown in and no play acting either. As for the armagh/donegal game, if i wanted to watch lads giving each other piggy-back rides for 70 minutes there are a few pubs in Dublin I could head for.
Fearon - if you see me there please don't be afraid or too shy to approach and greet me!
Magpie, I;m sure you'll be instantly recognisable amonth the 82,000 throng. I'll start looking for you at the Hill and work my way round the Cusack, Davin and finally the Hogan ;D
My tongue was firmly planted in my cheek good sir. I won't be sitting too far from you I dare say.
Anyone requiring a ticket for Sundays big game. premium level Cusack stand , please contact.
Would any of the cheeky Dubs on here with good seats in the Hogan or Cusack that aren't gonna bother going in 4 de first game mind us sitting in them??? Would beat all the "I think that's my seat Bud!"...

Just dont sit in other peoples seats, that would solve it!

Thanks for that, never occured to me. ::)
Cheers Hardy but already have my Davin tickets, not a big fan of the Upper section, whoever I'm supporting always looses whenever I'm up there and I wouldn't want the whole city to be as blue as their jerseys on Mon morning... ;D
Are you a Metropolitan for the weekend Croí? :P
Lesser of two evils Billy ;)
All the swing voters will cheer for Dublin. Nobody likes us. :'(
Tony Fearon, how are you, are you in the Premium or the Corporate box? I'll be in there on Sunday. I have changed my seats, or put a better way,they have been changed for me so I'm on the Cusack side now. If your in the premium give me a shout.

I was inundated with indifference about my spare tickets but anyway I thought it only right to let you all know they're gone now.
Hope you got a hundred each for them.
Bud, greetings to you and I hope your health is well. Not in the Premium on Sunday, Upper Hogan, not sure where as I'm picking the tickets on Sunday morning in Ath Cliath. Will keep an eye out for you. It is two years almost since we shared a glass. Far too long!
Again cant make it, too busy, doubt ill even make it to the pub to watch it. Are any of the Dublin radion stations covering the whole game live, ie Newstalk, 98FM, FM104, RTE 1 , or any other of the City stations over the internet.
**************. please let me know really want to catch this game in some shape or form. **************
Yeah it would have to be on the radio somewhere. Are RTE showing it on the web even? Juice, you'll get shag all work done if u have it on in the background. I've missed going to the odd game because of exams in my time and listening to it on the radio drives me demented. I would have been better off if I went to the games for all the work I got done! Obviously I know you can't go, but listening to a game on the radio is not good for the nerves.

Hardy, I can't reply to PM's from the mail box. I have to go through a re-signing in process similar to filling out about ten Census forms for a small town. Thanks for your offer of tickets if I was stuck. I'll probably see you tomorrow if your in the Boru. Don't say anything about horses cause the lad who owns one running on Monday in Naas is with me.
Should be great craic tomorrow. I wonder will Tony call into the Brian Boru for one before the game? It's a grand ould place.
That was just a joke Bud - not aimed at you. I'll be there tomorrow. If Fearon shows up it could turn into more of a scatterin than a gadderin. Only joking. I'll issue a challenge to him now - if he shows up in a Meath jersey I'll buy all his pints. I could be on a loser because I know how much he likes a freebie, but I'm betting he won't find one to fit him. ;D
Yeah i might just go watch it in the pub (no alcoholic drinks while im there) , and then get back and work my arse off. will be doing an all nighter tonight and tommorow night. :(. But If that doesnt work i might just ned to know a radio station thats playing the whole game. not intervals like RTE usually do.
Seriously, anyone know a radio station, playing the full 70 minutes online. Wont have time for the pub, :-[ really busy, have to get shit loads done for the morning. I've cheked 98Fm, Anna Livia, and a few others. if someone could let me know id greatly apprechiated. LMFM wont stream on my PC before anyone suggests it.
I see on the RTE website (http://www.rte.ie/live/ (http://www.rte.ie/live/)) the kick-off is at 2.00pm
That's it!! Sums up RTE's attitude to the GAA!!! >:(
Bud there's a pint on the counter of the Brian Boru since yesterday but it's probably stale by now. Fearon never showed up either to claim his pints. At least I didn't see anyone in a Meath jersey matching the 'wanted' posters.
Sorry boys, haven't been on line since Saturday so missed this invitation. My tickets came from a true blue dub, so therefore I wasn't going to don a Meath jersey for any number of pints!
As for the game, exciting finish, great atmosphere (only Dubs fans can produce this atmosphere I must admit), and both sides have some excellent players, but neither has enough of these to be in serious contention for trophies methinks.
Disappointed with the Meath support, it wasn't there in any great numbers as far as I could see, and what were those 5 or 6 eejits in Meath jersies at on the Hill at, nearly causing a riot at half time?. Dublin goal was a square ball and Geraghty (still an excellent player) should have had a penalty in the second half, apart from this Jimmy Mc Kee, the referee, did Armagh proud
I am beginning to think I'm a lucky mascot for Colm Coyle. I was in the Hogan in 96 when he scored the equaliser against Mayo and was at Clones when he led Monaghan to the miraculous win over Armagh in 03.
On the subject of Coyle, am I the only one that thinks Moyles, the current Meath captain, is a dead ringer for him, even the way he runs?

Make sure you're there on Sunday week, then. If not, send us a cardboard cutout and I'll buy a ticket for it (or two ;D)

I think you are. He's a bit like him in the way he hits, though!
