Very poor from Dublin but I have said for 5 or 6 years now that you cannot expect a team to win an AI if they cant get out of the league - the lads always said Dublin dont take the league serious but for me it was always about seeing how the seconds play as they are the back up for a bad day. All Dublin achieved in the league was relegation last season and I cant help but think the two are related.

That team are now finished and I am unsure if there is much hope for the next few years anyway...
Grand Slam Saturday!

Felt sorry for the Dublin supporters today. The place was rocking and their team was a disgrace... atrocious. How do they keep doing this after winning Leinster considering the excellent show from Kildare yesterday. They even made Darren O'Sullivan look like a good footballer and that isn't easy to do.

Does anyone really give a filying fcuk about what he writes about every Sunday? I dont buy the Tribune but may do if they got rid of that gobshite and got a proper columnist to write for them.

Will be a long time until that crowd is seen again at a Dublin game. Thats the reality. While that won't bother a lot of people. It won't be good to have a large urban centre struggling which is the current case. Both codes should have strong teams in dublin- more than enough numbers for that. But hurling is well ahead of football. They are a lot closer to kilkenny and these teams than the footballers are to tyrone and co..

Darren O Sullivan is  avery good footballer. About time he was starting for them.

Hayes showed his class when he called Micko a "stubborn old goat". He did such a great job down in Carlow himself!
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

Sorry but I just don't get Darren O'Sullivan. Aimless...head down and away on a solo run which is most liable to finish with the ball in an opponents hands... except against the Dubs of course  :-\

I'd have him ahead of Penrose (for one).

I'll never forget the day he nearly beat Tyrone on his own (AI minor final '04). Only for the Tyrone players fouling him every time he got the ball, he probably would have beaten Tyrone on his own.

Penrose is a mighty man for being out in front this past couple seasons. His option selection is getting better every game. Id take penrose right now myself.

got a win over offaly if i'm not mistaken in his first year, that would have to be success for carlow?

if ever a game highlighted the need for a sin bin, that was the one.

One win over Offaly hardly gives him the license to slag off the greatest manager in the history of the game.

is calling micko a stubborn old goat an insult?  I'd say it's accurate - no?

i wonder did jack O pin up all those newspaper reports before the game on the dressing room wall? only Joe brolly was Right  :o "extranvagant optimism has been dublin's default setting for the last 32 years and it is usually their undoing. they best be ready for the mother of all backlashes"
