Tippabu i have indeed seen dublin play,i saw them against laois and kildare in the final and i would be the first to agree with you that i dont believe they are as good as last year.Personally i dont believe tipp are as good either but if they win midfield which tipp should,who knows.I really hope Tipp do it but i fear costello and mchugh will do damage and i just cant see tipp scoring enough(though dublin defo weaker at backs this year)

That's fair enough and I'd agree with you. Last years team was stronger than this for me. We are missing 4/5 starting forwards. The ones who came in have stepped up to be fair but they aren't the same standard of what's missing. We haven't really gotten anything on the bench either. I think all of that made the minster win all the more special. Hopefully we get a performance tomorrow at the very least and win or lose these lads will have given us a brilliant start to the year

Yea i thought Tipp had some real good forwards last year but whys yous took quinlivan out the pitch after ten mins in pair ui rinn bewildered me,only when he went back in when it was too late he done the damage.Was impressed with fahy corner back last day too.Maybe O Riordan will inspire them again tomorrow.

and the heart tipp showed last week is hard to match

Went to see the ulster 21 final last week and the following night went to see the munster 21 final,how they were two different contrasting games.While in ulster both teams(Donegal and Tyrone) with two sweepers each the teams in munster openly played entertaining football.Unbelievably tipperary were 5 points up with three minutes to go and still went man to man 6 backs against 6 forwards while the night before tyrone played one big fella inside and other 13 behind the ball,Murtagh wont get any ball sat so roscommon be prepared because if you try kick ball in it will come back straight out,they will need to be patient.Tyrone were poor in midfield when they had to kick the ball out,donegal only contested the kick outs with ten minutes to go and won every one of them,if only they did it from the start.Tipperary are awesome in the middle,o brien and o riordan cleaned cork out and done untold damage,but they are toothless up front(good free taker however)but very little from play.roscommon to win by 4-5pts if patient and dublin by 10pts
