The "latest scores" thread hasn't been the same. Welcome back.
Beards.
Anyone. By a huge margin in the AI quarter final.

Still credit where credit is due I thought that Derry would be a step too far for them .The question for Dublin is how will they approach the Leinster championship ?

What route does the open top bus take when the Dubs win Sam?
Probably the Hill and the hype.

But to be fair, it was Derry without Paddy and Eoin Bradley. And Dublin only pulled away in the last 10 minutes.

Dublin were without A.Brogan, Quinn, Cahill, Connolly, Flynn, Henry, Cluxton, O Carroll, McMahon, Jayo, Cullen, Brennan,Keaney and no Whelan and Ryan ;) and still manage to turn around a 10 point defeat last year to winning by 7 this year.
Also why is it always the culchnords that start threads on Dublin. Truly facinating.
I'm buying into this as of tonight. Their seniors, U21s and minors in football and hurling could fecking lift silverware all over the joint this year
The future is sky blue. Bloody is too.
who can stop Dublin, apart from themselves...Cork, kerry, Tyrone...etc...
The d4 media incorporating rte,the star which will have its daily two page spread on the dubs from next month on,i presume the other red tops are the same,the indo even with its hatred for everything GAA it still wants to see €€€,the times although this will be more to do with the coverage surrounding the financial setback on the GAA when the dubs get knocked out.
Jeez lads, your obsession with the Dubs is a tad unhealthy. Dublin are rebuilding and I'm sorry to tell you that here in Dublin we know that. No silverware for the Dublin seniors this year. An U21 title would be great but unlikely also imo.
If you rely on the Star/Sun/E Herald as indicators of fact/ a true reflection of Dublin GAA thinking then I'm afraid there is no hope for you.

Dubs wont win Leinster and will be hard to make even a quarter final this year with the rebuild job. Kildare are favorites and then Meath and maybe Wicklow and then Dublin if we get a bit luck.
Everybody talking up Kildare this year, i hope they can cope with the pressure.
The Dublin clubs are doing it all by themselves buying in all the culchies and depriving their own club players of progressing.

This is a new & interesting development that hasn't been discussed at length here before - tell us more.
I know it has been discussed to death but unfortunately the clubs are more interested in club championship than developing their own players from their own parish to represent their own county and win their own championship >:(.

There is no-one sending money from America these days. You're showing your age! I agree with you the Dubs will win Leinster alright and hopefully will have more backbone after that than in recent years.
Heard that Cork beat Dublin last nite in a friendly on a score of 2-22 to 0-6.

Played in Portlaise.
I heard Cork were at about 75% full strength. Havent heard anything reliable re Dublin's line-up. Some tanking anyway!
Lots of minor injuries circulating about the squad. Leading to rumours regarding training methods. Not the greatest preparation, but Wexford is still 5 weeks away.
Dublin panel was supposed to be named last night, but instead its been deferred until at least this weekend.
However, 22 lads were told they are definitely in. So another 8 to be added.
Among those not in the 22 are Alan Brogan, Darren Magee, Bryan Cullen, Paddy Andrews and Jason Sherlock. No real suprise with the latter two, though most fans would have one or both in the squad. Word is that both Magee and Cullen are unlikely to make the cut - Magee is bit a journeyman alright, though not sure that we have 4 better than him. Cullen's had a back injury since Christmas, but I'd be a bit suprised if was cut from the panel.
While Bernard Brogan has been quoted this week as saying Gilroy is keeping everyone on their toes and nobody is guaranteed a place, I'm still presuming its a formality that Alan Brogan will make the panel (and the team for that matter!).
Dublin must have some footballers if they can afford to leave someone like Cullen out. He won them last year's Leinster Final by marking the space in between the half-back and full-back lines in the second half.
He is not a man marker though and that's why he was exposed against Kerry. I find it strange that Gilroy hasn't deployed him in the half-forward line and given him a license to roam and mark space. He was very good as a wing forward a bout four or five years back.

Yeah, exactly. Wing forward under Gilroy should suit him down to the ground. He has been injured during the league campaign (his back), which has frustrated everyone including Gilroy who made some odd comment in the media that it was a serious injury. But now Cullen is back and says he's fit, but it may be too late.

Dublin's chances will be rendered redundant when that panel is announced. Just remember who said it first. I'm still in a state of shock myself. Simply beggars belief. I keep thinking I'm in some sort of a paranoid delusionary dream that I'm going to wake up out of soon. Might take 18months though.

The season. I suppose some of them might make the development panel. I suppose when you look at the omissions. Sam has to be coming home. If we have 30 players better then some of the omissions then Kerry and Cork can playoff for runner up.

Dublin panel was supposed to be named last night, but instead its been deferred until at least this weekend.
However, 22 lads were told they are definitely in. So another 8 to be added.
Among those not in the 22 are Alan Brogan, Darren Magee, Bryan Cullen, Paddy Andrews and Jason Sherlock. No real suprise with the latter two, though most fans would have one or both in the squad. Word is that both Magee and Cullen are unlikely to make the cut - Magee is bit a journeyman alright, though not sure that we have 4 better than him. Cullen's had a back injury since Christmas, but I'd be a bit suprised if was cut from the panel.
While Bernard Brogan has been quoted this week as saying Gilroy is keeping everyone on their toes and nobody is guaranteed a place, I'm still presuming its a formality that Alan Brogan will make the panel (and the team for that matter!).
Dublin's chances will be rendered redundant when that panel is announced. Just remember who said it first. I'm still in a state of shock myself. Simply beggars belief. I keep thinking I'm in some sort of a paranoid delusionary dream that I'm going to wake up out of soon. Might take 18months though.
Is it the panel for just the Wexford game or for the season??
The season. I suppose some of them might make the development panel. I suppose when you look at the omissions. Sam has to be coming home. If we have 30 players better then some of the omissions then Kerry and Cork can playoff for runner up.
Brogan is going to make the 30 from what I've heard - Cullen is still 50/50
Well if Al is barely good enough to make the 30 being dublin's best player of the last 6/7 years with 2 allstars- sam will be annexed in sept. A pretty embarrassing chapter all round. Why do we continue to treat our best players with such little regard.
Heard Andrews and Cullen won't. Magee too.
Magee out - more to the Andrews issue than football
heffo- in fairness would you not agree the Andrews thing is embarrassing? I mean its not as if he was oin the lash in Coppers or something. Darren was the best midfielder on view in the recent club championship- I saw 6 games involving the best sides and he was outstanding bet Rooney and Begley from parnells up a stick.
Andrews should without a doubt be on the panel and probably the first 15 as a forward.
There are other issues though which you may be aware of that I won't go into here - I'll pm you if you aren't aware..
not aware of any other issue there heffo bar the one.
PM'd ya
Mayo might stop the Dubs tonight. ;)

If we're going to keep a catalogue between now and when they're knocked out, this could be a very long thread!

No probs give me a few minutes and i'll do one up for you ;)
Anybody that is drawn against them in the quarter finals. But every cloud has a silver lining. I am reliably informed that Cluxton has been picked for an All Star no matter what happens.

Meaaaoww...
Anyone know how the Dublin Down friendly went last weekend????
Got a report on the Mayo game. Heard we were pretty poor with what the management deem to be near enough our full team. Worrying times ahead I'm afraid.

Reports from Mayo challenge games should be ken with a pich of salt. A poster who went to the Cavan/Mayo challenge gave a discription wildly at odds with the Mayo report.

Challenge games are like league games.
They only matter when you lose.

Here you are, Indy; at your service as always.
You probably have read some report by now but here's a link for those who may not have done so.

Looks like Paddy Andrews isn't totally out of contention. A Dublin team beat Westmeath in a challenge at the weekend (5-13 to 1-19). None of the men named in the panel so far were included (22-24), so it looks like these guys were fighting for the last 5, 6 or 7 places. A bit disappointed that so few of the U21s were involved. In particular I think wing backs Devereux and Cooper would have been worth a look. Surprised that Supple wasnt the next keeper in line.
Dublin team:
D Nestor
D Murray, K Nolan, J Brogan
P Brogan, B Sexton, S Cloherty
C Murphy, D Magee
B Cullen, D Rock (1-5, 3f), K Bonner
A Brogan (1-1), P Andrews (1-4), D Kelly (0-1)
Subs: B McManamon (1-1), L Óg Ó hEineacháin (0-1), D Watson (1-0), D Daly, S Murray.
The following 24 names are thought to be the panel named so far (though differing views at to whether Burke and McCarthy are in or not):
Keepers: Cluxton, Savage
Defenders: Brennan, Cahill, Conlon, O'Carroll, Fitzsimons, McMahon, O'Sullivan, McCarthy
Quasi defenders: Henry, Hubbard, Bastick
Midfielders: McConnell, Fennell, MacAuley
Forwards: B Brogan, Flynn, Corkery, Keaney, K McManamon, Quinn, Connolly, Burke
Incidentally the Westmeath team was as follows:
D Quinn
F Boyle (0-1), D O'Donoghue, J Gaffey
D McDermott, T Warburton, M Dalton
D Duffy, P Bannon
J Durkan, P Sharry, J Smyth
D Glennon (0-7, 6f), C Lynam (1-2), D Dolan (0-4)
Subs: P Gilsenan (0-1), D Healy, S Gallagher, D Harte, G Egan (0-1), K Martin, M Ennis (0-1), K Maguire, R Doyle, L Smyth, I Coffey (0-2f), G Glennon.

apparantly a savage amount of injuries has lead Gilroy to defer from culling the panel completely and Paddy Andrews is back in there- at least for now.
There are a good few on that squad who I do not rate and time will tell how good Dublin are if Gilroy makes too many wholesale changes.
also imo Cooper is a decent young footballer but has been overhyped since he was u17. He was almost too light for u21 so will be a few years off the mark for the full senior intercounty football - if he ever makes the step up.

I'h hoping the huge amount of strains and pulls and other minor injuries are a coincidence and not something to do with training methods!
The area Gilroy has made progress in, is the full back line. With O'Carroll, McMahon, Conlon and Fitzsimons, we have good options. They lack experience of course so they will get "doings", but that comes with the territory, and its nice to have Henry available to slot in there is someone is struggling.
O'Sullivan is a very good addition at wingback, but this is offset by the loss of Griffin. Cahill's form is mediocre but he should come good. Leaves one slot available and bizarrely Bastick seems to be in pole position. I though Devereux and Cooper were our two best players during the U21 run so thats why I suggested them. I disagree about Cooper being
too light - however Gilroy and Whelan do place a big emphasis on it.
Midfield is a massive worry, and maybe that's why Bastick is a wing back contender, to be able to give a hand around the middle. McAuley looks promising, but I believe he'll need another year of intercounty experience and training to realise his potential.

The idea that alan brogan isn't an automatic selection says everything about where dublin are going. Most of that 24 couldn't lace his boots. in fact most of them should consider it an honour if they were asked to lace his boots for him. Its going to be one hell of a short summer. mark my words on that.
There'll be no stopping us now ;)
adidas, the world's leading sports brand, on Thursday announced a new one year boot sponsorship deal with the Dublin senior footballers. All the players will wear boots from the adidas stable depending on their playing style.

There's no stopping them now. Some comeback yesterday.

Jobo11 calm down, take a deep breath and google the word irony.
It wasn't meant as a serious question.
As for counties not being able to handle pressure, IMO Kerry are the only county that can look at anyone else not handling pressure - counties with a glory year of one in a row shouldn't.
Good man jobo, keep 'er lit!
You might want to ask your doc if he can prescribe you something for Small County Syndrome. You seem to have a severe dose!
