Evan Comerford;
Michael Fitzsimons,
David Byrne,
Jonny Cooper;
Brian Howard,
John Small,
Seán McMahon;
Brian Fenton,
James McCarthy;
Paddy Small,
Ciarán Kilkenny,
Niall Scully;
Cormac Costello,
Con O'Callaghan,
Dean Rock.


That was the Dublin team v Kildare the last day.

Outside of Fitzimons I'd have the defence is ordinary enough. Cian O'Sullivan's boots have yet to be filled IMO. The key battle in this game is Fenton v Ruane. Hopefully Coen will manage McCarthy.

In saying all that if Horan starts the next day without K.McLoughlin in a sweeper role we too, with our suspect defence will be torn asunder by the like of Costello, Scully and O'Callaghan.

Did Dublin name thier referree for the match yet?

[Hound]

If Mayo play a sweeper, that gifts Dublin a sweeper (I.e. 6 backs against 5 forwards). We'll be hoping that happens but not expecting it.

Whingeing about the ref already. Not untypical of some Mayo fans.
I've heard it's Conor Lane. Would be very close to the bottom of my wish list.  But I haven't checked if that's true.

I would hold back McLoughlin alright

[highorlow]

Lighten up, the ref thing was meant as a joke. Ye are getting fierce sensitive.

[greatpoint]

Dublin to win relatively comfortably, more like last year's final than the 2019 semi.

Oisin out , 100%.

Could we worst, could have twenty players out like Tyrone have

[larryin89]

Might as well have 20 players .

Btw I dont know what to believe now,  there's some amount of fuckery going on through the WhatsApp and what have ya , I was told two completely different stories inside ten mins of each other.

Never been as confused but yes I believe my first source and not the other ridiculous made up stuff.

Oisin out , eoghan in .

And I have full faith in him and the rest of the lads to step up.

Seamie OShea had a great response when asked about COC injury.

He says, it's very cut throat, but when you're not there you're not there. Simple as. It's an opportunity for others to step up, and I believe they will. Oisín Mullin is a brilliant footballer, but that's it. He's not superman either.

Depress yourselves all ye want, we have as good a chance as anyone (for the next 48 hours at least). Enjoy it.

[Farrandeelin]

All we know at this stage is that Oisín is injured. If it's year-ending or not we don't know yet. I'll continue to hope he's not badly injured and will play some part on Saturday. What we don't want is O'Hora AND himself not at full throttle.
