The Dubs for McCarthy Cup

[longrunsthefox]

It would be fantastic if they could but I can't see it. Still Daly knows what it takes to win it.
(Antrim, alas, seem to be as far away as ever.)


Daly: Dublin hurlers can win All-Ireland
Anthony Daly is convinced Dublin can win an All-Ireland senior hurling title in the not too distant future.
The double All-Ireland winning captain with Clare made huge progress during his first year in charge of the Metropolitans and believes the raw material is in the county to push on and lift Liam McCarthy in the coming years.
"I really do believe Dublin are going to win an All-Ireland," he told the Evening Herald.
"It mightn't be on my watch but I don't think Liam Rushe and David Treacy, Tom Brady, Joe Boland are going to go through their careers without winning an All-Ireland. I think that's a great hope for all Dublin hurling people.

"They seem to be the right sort of guys and there seems to be the right quality of guys coming behind them from what I can ascertain - guys for whom hurling is the only game. There's no question of playing one or the other. Hurling is their first love.
"I really do think they can do it. But is winning an All-Ireland in the next two years realistic? I don't know."

In fairness he's talking probably 5 years down the road. Breath of fresh air reading him. Positive. Lucky to have him.

Good luck to him and Dublin, strange that Dublin hurlers receive so much goodwill from around the Country but everyone wants their footballers beat.

A Dublin AI win could give other counties like Antrim, Wexford, Laios, Limerick a kick start

If the football summer boo boys on the Hill started going to Dublin hurling matches it wouldn't take long for everyone wanting their hurlers to be beat either..

typical juvenile comment from yourself.

I would love to see Dublin hurlers have the same summer following as the footballers, it would bring a bit of life to the hurling championship. The more people want to pay in to watch hurling the better.

Probably about right with the likes of U-21's and minors hammering at the door in Leinster and AI finals to keep producing quality talent.

Take away the harshness of what he wrote - he sort of has a point!!  BTW, i'd love the dubs to do it

Of course I have a point,I don't want hurling to be ruined by that lot.
I would love the Dubs hurling team to do well,but can you imagine what it be like if that shower that frequent the Hill every summer start going to hurling matches? Every time the likes of Shefflin and Eoin Kelly and co were taking a free they would start booing...
Yeah they would bring a great atmosphere to it alright

You do indeed have a point, unfortunately that point is predicated on the notion that Dublin supporters on the Hill are the only ones who boo opposition free takers - which is pure horsesh*t.

I've heard plenty of booing at hurling matches and the Dubs had nothing to with it.

As for the topic itself, I can't see the Dubs winning an AI anytime soon, their level of underage success wouldn't be considered success at all in any strong county so I can't see how it amounts to an AI winning future. They'll be more competitive alright but there's no evidence they'll be good enough to win an AI in the foreseeable future.

How much underage success did Anthony Daly enjoy with his native Clare before he went on to lift the McCarthy cup twice?
