DUBLIN V ARMAGH sat 17th @ 5.00pm croke park

[Maguire01]

Yeah, they'll hardly let it clash with the Ulster Final.

Happy enough with this draw. It'll be a step up from Fermanagh and Donegal, but still very winnable. The Dubs here don't seem to rate their team, but we're nothing special ourselves. It really is a 50/50 game.

We put in a good showing next weekend and, regardless of the result, this year can go down as a success. League promotion achieved; the same number of Championship wins as the previous three years combined; several young players introduced and reintroduced; and a couple of run outs in Croke Park. Anything else achieved from next weekend on can be regarded as a bonus.

Isnt it amazing that Dublin got a home draw again?
Will it be in Parnell Park 

It really should be to be honest, or say Navan, is it worthwhile opening Croke Park of 15,000? Not slagging the Dubs, no sets of fans are showing much support this year.

handy enough win for Dublin I'd expect !

Imo won't be the cakewalk all pundits forecast. Armagh will be the roaring favourites and I think the Dublin fans will flock back to this game.

Really hope though we don't disgrace/shame ourselves like we did in the 2nd half of the 2003 game (and indeed in both halves of the 1st 2003 game).

I would rather a packed Parnell Park than the miserable atmosphere in Croke Park the other day. Armagh should defo go in as favourites but just because it is Dublin I reckon the bookies will have it even enough.

It is a pity they didnt get drawn away. Wouldn't it be great to get the Dubs playing an important game in somewhere like Newbridge or something. There would be a great atmosphere at the game.

Not being fancied to win though might suit Dublin and give them some freedom. However I imagine Stephie and Co. will fancy their chances big time of getting the better of the Dubs defence.

true but the brogans won't be quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing a defence demolished by Monaghan. As said above by AFS 2 very evenly matched average outfits. Could be very high scoring. 2 very leaky defences.

Will it be in Croker? Are the Dublin hurlers at home?

Not sure about that. Monaghan and Down league game excepted, our defence has been solid enough this year. It's when we lose a man that things go belly up. If we're beat, it'll be because we haven't been able to get enough ball into our FF line.

First team drawn out got home advantage.

Aye, maybe. But I wouldn't dismiss their credentials on the back of the Monaghan game, where the second half circumstances did not allow for fair assessment.

Sure it'd be grand if they had a double header with the Louth Meath replay!
