Westmeath Vs Dublin - Croke Park

[heffo]

If I was a Dublin fan my main worry this summer would be the persistence with Connolly. A brilliant scorer when he catches fire but he is mad enough to cost them an All-Ireland when we get to the high-pressure games in August and September. I'd also have similar concerns about Ger Brennan, but not to the same degree.

Connolly's madness has never cost us a game, but his brilliance has won us a good few, so I think he's worth the risk.

Jihad Ger has almost cost us a couple of big games in the past, but has been bailed out by teammates. But I think he's copped on at this stage and is in very good form, so again I think its a no brainer that he's our centre half back

He was targetted in every league game this year (especially the Kildare game) where Bolton charged into him after the whistle every time he won a free, trying to get a response and kept the head. He'll be fine.

No sign of Kevin "Chomper" O'Brien? Is he on the subs bench?

Fresh from being exonerated fully from Donegals parlour games he now finds himself injured

O'Brien named on the bench, niggle during the week probably cost him his starting jersey.

Good to see Cormac Costello on the bench. Gavin obviously has some trust in him despite him being injured throughout the league.

Supple, Bastick, Carty, Cullen, Devereux, Fitzsimons, McMahon, O'Gara and Rock are the other Dubs subs named

That's a subs bench and a half. Scary the options Dublin have.

Dub scum booing the free taker as usual! Disgraceful

Will wmeath score??

[Captain Obvious]

Westmeath far to loose at the back. Dublin will win this by a big margin if it continues like this.

[All of a Sludden]

[Captain Obvious]

After 24 minutes Westmeath finally score.

[doodaa]

Serious gulf in class between Div 2 and Div 1 if this match is anything to go by.

[Jinxy]

The Dubs have such a high cruising speed that they are creating space everywhere without even seeming to exert themselves. It's like watching horses used to running at Punchestown trying to catch horses used to running at Epsom.

[theticklemister]

Come on mullingar!!!!

[Captain Obvious]

Dublin should be leading by more at half time Westmeath still stuck in league mode.

WH stinking out the joint. Dubs in 2nd gear. f**k me but these 456 handpasses and then kicking it to a Dub is very annoying. Dubs could tog in and they'd still win
