Tír Eoghain vs Áth Cliath '08

By the way, the beard is now 11 days old and at Gourley standard. Making it til Saturday is touch and go.

I love the Dub fans too they do enjoy the auld banter.

If the Dub fans get the going and the team harness it they are like a 16th man. If the team are under performing the fans can seem like a burden on the team too.

Let's hope they're a burden this Saturday ! 

[ONeill]

SO, are we expecting any changes apart from Quinn's likely omission? If he is out, will Gourley be handed another starting slot?

[Hardy]

Tyrone are finished.

Tyrone are finished.

Stick a fork in Tyrone....

[Hardy]

Their coose is gooked.

If i were a Dublin supporter i'd be very nervy about this game, with a lot riding on it. Win it and it will give a massive confidence boost for the AI chances (though can't see anyone beating Kerry), lose it and it's the end of the road for this team and manager in terms of ever winning an AI. Tyrone aren't great but they do have the personnel who can deliver big performances.  There's a lot of question marks hanging over Dublin. I can really see Tyrone being up for this one and a few of their misfiring forwards finally hitting starting to hit the target, with the likes of Cavanagh, McMenamin, Dooher and Gormley driving the team on.

That's the ideal and quite possible scenario. The other is that the Jacks blow us away early and hammer a humiliating final nail into our most successful era. Or it'll be a humdinger of a draw. Or a dour draw. Betting men will stay away.

Yep, there's a number of possibilities.  I'd be surprised though if Tyrone go out with a whimper.

[ONeill]

Nevr mind the football. Is the boul forkinknife going to catch up with ONeill and give him a good kicking?

We've actually become close friends since the floodlit game and are meeting up for a pint afterwards and then going to a disco.

[T Fearon]

Shane, can you not arrange a transfer transplant, ie facial hair to head? I bet you look like Alex Maskey

PS I have decided to attend on Saturday. Having witnessed the death of  my own County last Saturday, I want to be there when either Dublin or Tyrone shuffle off this mortal coil

[his holiness nb]

Whats the forecast for Saturday like anyway?

Lashing here still, dont fancy standing on the hill in that!

[ONeill]

The Dubs don't realise what they'll be facing.

Unfortunately not. Big feed of eels 'n' custard would do the trick.

Not good, from RTE:

  3 Day Outlook
The weather continues to remain very unsettled with no hope at all of any real improvement this week or over the weekend. Most of the showers will die away tomorrow night and it will be fairly clear through the night-time. Thursday and Friday won't be the wettest days of the week. There will be showers on Thursday but also good dry periods when the weather may be nice and bright and sunny. There will be a good deal of dry bright weather too for the first half of Friday. But then during the day on Friday cloud will increase and outbreaks of rain will start to develop. But it will be over the weekend that the rain will get very heavy once more. During Saturday another Atlantic depression will come close to Ireland. That will give more torrential rain, cloudbursts and downpours and lead on to more flooding. Then an improvement for Sunday but the day is still likely to be showery.
