Christ Louth are poor. Why are they standing 10/15m off their men when down by 5?

50 minutes played Dublin 0-15 Louth 0-8.  Dubs with the momentum and on top in midfield.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Quote from: gallsman on May 02, 2026, 08:08:21 PMRef is excellent in this game. A lot of lads moaning at him and getting nothing for it. Just before the late hit on Costello (who's having a bit of a 'mare) Mulroy knew he was boxed in and basically decided to just fall to the ground. Cards he's giving out are all clearly cards too.

Commentators curse, missed a really obvious 2 pointer.

And Costello kicked a monster  ;D

Louth insisting on turning into trouble and getting bottled up.

Is Marc O'Se watching the same game? Praising how Louth are set up defensively. Dublin have been toying with them this half so far.

Dublin are toying with them. Miles ahead of Louth(currently anyway unless there is a very dramatic change)

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on May 02, 2026, 02:29:24 PMI expect a big reaction from Dublin - they could win this game pulling up.

Would be shocked if Louth pull this off.

But would be great to see it and Devlin is definitely getting the most out of them, but beating Dublin in championship might be a step too far for them.

Think i was the only one seen this coming. Louth never going to beat Dublin in championship.

0-9 for Costello as Dublin lead 0-18 to 0-8.  10 minutes to play, very flat showing by Louth.

Only been watching the 2nd half but very impressed with this ref.

Louth has been shocking here.

Dublin still look a bit average to me. This one has more to do with how bad Louth have been.

Pity about Luke Loughlin's injury. Westmeath could have had a right pop if he was healthy.

Dublin still top handful of teams though Louth are very poor here and nothing going for them.

Louth have missed a LOT of chances. Other teams will punish Dublin for giving up those opportunities.

Their tackling has been absolutely ferocious though. Scully has had the best game I've seen from him in years.

Full time Dublin 0-20  Louth 0-10.  13 Wides and many other shots that dropped short or saved for Louth

Dublin far better than I expected. 0-20 is a great return, and in many ways forced Louth into a very paltry 0-10. Costello was superb in the second half, and Scully was immense throughout. There was a turnover in the second half where you could see the passion and desire is back, having been gone for the last two years.

There is no AI in this team. But a performance like that will frighten Westmeath and Kildare.

Louth could dominate for rest of decade with their u20/minor teams coming through.
FFS. Fancied Louth but thats the curse on them now

Should Louth lose today then mooster will need to delete his account and run.
