Wexford v The Dubs. Leinster Final

Fuzzman · July 10, 2011, 02:46:15 PM

Yeah I'd say Dublin are gonna get an earful at half time.
They've taken off one of their best forwards this year and have kicked loads of wides and balls short.
They seem to put a lot more effort into that half than Wexford did yet Wexford are only a point behind.

If Wexford can stop them scoring goals in the second half they could win it.
Its surprisingly poor standard and all about defensive blanket again for the Dubs

Wexford defending very well so far. Doing great to keep Dublin to 7 points with the amount of possession they have.

Due more to Dublin been profligate than any great defending.

Ah no - those misses have to be put down to pressure. They're also showing great anticipation, getting out in front and an extra man sweeping from time to time.

Maybe in the last 15 mins but in the first 20 mins were just too casual, how many wides with no pressure on the forward were kicked, I can think of 4 from BB and Connolly.

It seems defending shouldn't be allowed any more, according to the studio.

wexford still 5/1 to win it. are they worth a punt

If this is the best Leinster have to offer its a sad state of affairs. No wonder they haven't had a single All Ireland finalist in 10 years.

Wexford 9/1 on Betfair. Still think the Dubs will pull away at some stage, maybe scoring 5 or 6 points in a row in a 10 minute spell to seal it.

McStay reckons Wexford are taking it easy!

I reckon McStay is right, looks like they just wanted to keep it tight for ht. We could see a different Wexford 20 minutes in the second half, although they'll have to cut out the nervous handpassing and prob score a goal to win this. Dublin just don't look bothered, treating it like a practice match from the minute the broke away from the parade and laughing and giggling in their huddle. Half forward and full back lines only really operating for them, Fennell very sneaky with the knees, will be well highlighted for his next match. Whoever goals will win, don't think it'll be the 6+ Spillanne was talking about anyway...

Ciaran Lyng the most one footed footballer in Ireland.

Mossey Quinn has been brutal since coming on.

The word puke stretched his vocabulary to its limit a few years ago.

He needs something new, any suggestions?

WeePeteIsALegend · July 10, 2011, 03:09:35 PM

That goal should be the kick up the arse the Dubs need

WeePeteIsALegend · July 10, 2011, 03:12:01 PM

Quinn again
