Dublin will bring a big support on Saturday night, it's only an hour on the train so I'd say they'll outnumber us. We'll need to bring the noise, the support when the team walked off at half time against Galway was incredible and we'll need to do it again in Newry - it must have spurred them on. This team can do it.

Lynch named to start, and Clucky on the bench.

Champion The Wonder Horse

Brendan Cawley refereeing.

That's the season over.

That's our strongest panel in a long time. Only Marty Bradley and McKinless missing let's hope we continue the form from the Galway game and we won't be far away.

You'd imagine if Con is fit at all he'd start.

Better weather than the 93 Ulster final. I will take getting wet if we win this evening and go along the same path.

This game dec go ahead? Aint called the Marshes for nothing

Odhran Lynch out of Dublin game. Regan will wear #1 with McKinless likely starting.

Gutted. The kickouts were probably the difference. Some effort

To come so close yet losing so much on the kick outs might be impressive in a way, but I hope we stop pissing away such a great generation soon. Brendan and Gareth aren't getting any younger and that calibre is hard come by

Unreal. We're setting up well for next season.

First season never to win a game in a long time. As much as confidence in Tohill is not great. Tally played him in most of the league games and in a actual game where we were getting murdered in midfield, surely he should been tried against POB

Strange to not win a game but have some optimism for next season. Feel like we aren't a million miles away. Hopefully Rogers and McKinless both available next year and Lynch and Clucky fit.

My main criticism of Tally is that it took him far too long to get things right. Some of the changes in tactics and personnel were obvious. I think he did get it right in the end though.

Probably a lot of things could have been done differently. I'd have brought on Forbes earlier, pushed McGrogan back to 3, McEvoy to 6, and Rodgers into midfield. I'd have thrown Tohill into full forward and brought Loughlin out to help win break ball. Easy said from the armchair though! Honestly my wish for this season was to get back to a good competitive base, and I think we've done that. Results weren't what we'd hoped for but we weren't going to win an All Ireland this year. Next year though 😀
