and never had any interest in the gaa -as it was never covered in Scotland. Watched my first game at the weekend on tv- the dublin game -have to say wasnt the best game but certainly has me hooked 8)

Jaysus scottish, don't let the Dublin Offaly game be your yardstick. That was woeful. Actually, come to think of it, do exactly that. Then every game from now on will be a classic to you :D

Dublin v. Offaly was a very poor game, but you will get great entertainment from now until the end of the season.

agreed the game was poor from the moment teh offaly guy left injured after 20 mins -dublin then lost their feet

I actually watched both legs on tv of tyrone v ???? in 2005. them 2 games were very very good - cant remember who it was though they were playing -dublin ? or armagh?

anyone? ::)

That was the Dubs. the second game was Owen Mulligan's classic goal.

Of course it was 9/10 classics involve the dubs (8/10 the dubs get beat  :'( )

I think the dubs will have a good season in my novice opinion -first they will the gaa football cup then the footballers will play the hurling and win that as well -then in august they will enter in the english prem league and probably gain a top 4 finish and qualify for the champions league and if the draws are kind to them -win the champs league of not semi- final at least

after this a few will turn to acting and appear in hollyoaks, eastenders and home and away, a few will release singles on level with robbie williams and U2

and one will become taisoech

all in all very good year for the dub 8)

I think the reason why most of the classic games involve the dubs is firstly the games are played in Croke park where the players have the room and the space to express themselves for e.g do you think you would have had those recent classics if the games were played at Navan , clones, castlebar,  also the players are playing to a full house where the atmosphere is unreal, give me a game against the dubs in croker every day of the weeks for atmosphere and crack(not cocaine) ;) can't be beat

Sam Maguire is what we all live for in the summer months from May to Sept, and from Sept to May every other county usually begrudges the fact that he is sitting in Kerry for another winter  :P

Can't see that happening in the near future, most likely winter resorts this year are Kerry, Tyrone, Cork & Armagh in that order with a slim outside chance the Capital

What does everyone who predicts big things for Cork this year base their confidence on?

If there's gonna be an outsider coming through it'll be galway imho.

Ha ha he is only a Dub fan a week and already deluded  ;)

Don't get to emotionaly attached to them because you got a whole World of Pain ahead of you. All I can say is lucky you didn't move to Mayo, because following them has to be the most emotionaly challenging experiences around.
