Have seen no comment on Keegans performance yet. I was amazed by it. He done everything at less than half pace. Similar to the Derry game. I trust him though to peak and raise his game from late July on.
No mention either of the conditions .... a very tight pitch that plays even tighter than its size, always bloody windy it seems (moreso given the elevation) and wet - exactly the opposite type of conditions required to play open expansive fast football. Once that thunder shower happened befoer the start i was expecting it to be a flip of the coin type of game. A type of game i'd love to have seen the Dubs having to face away from the sexy open spaces of Croke Park.
Anyway, next days forward line for me.....
McLoughlin Aidan Feeney
Dillon Freeman Sweeney
I just think that Sweeney brings a consistenct pace and energy that we badly need. A more skillful version of David Nestor.
Agree with that synopsis Blast, we really lacked urgency in possession yesterday - particularly in the first half - a lot of nonchalant passing and dropping the ball short to the goalie.. Lethargic stuff..
Keegan in particular, who provided a lot of zip last year from the half back line, seemed to be way too relaxed!.. hopefully getting out of Hyde in the manner they did, will provide the much needed shock of cold water to the faces.. or sumfin
The backdrop and conditions were like something out of a snazzy Etihad marketing campaign yesterday, but still, no place you'd rather be, sitting in the middle of it, the air charged with negative ions, the heavens threatening to open,
your heart in your mouth, and you come away with a one point win.

There will always be a nagging doubt that the old mental frailties will resurface again at some stage. I hope that this isn't the case.

Barney, short memory. I would put the Offaly performance in the semi final as the most complete performance under Maughan.
