As I said.. you dont get over a game like that in such a short space of time jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20681 - 22/06/2024 21:30:41 2553786 Link 2 |
I have to admit that I was in fear of another thrashing yesterday. It looked headed that way for the first half and a Cork goal might have opened the floodgates. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2952 - 23/06/2024 08:45:00 2553906 Link 0 |
Agree Barney.I feared for Dublin in yesterdays game but they fought gallantly and put the pride back in Dublin hurling.If Donal Burke was on his usual radar in first half who knows.On Burke his scoring ratio is absolutely superb and better than both TJ Reid and Pat Horgan.I backed Cork for the hurling All Ireland just before they played Limerick (when they looked like going out)and while its only a tiny bet I got them at 50/1 in P.P.I also backed them on the day v Limerick in a single bet.Forget what price but think 4/1.

Hard luck lads. Ye looked like champions in that first half but I think father time caught up with a few of your players by the end. The joy over on the Galway page speaks to the esteem ye're held in. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3143 - 29/06/2024 20:34:16 2555710 Link 1 |
By the sounds of things 4-5 of the old guard could be hanging up the boots. It has been a pleasure to watch these great players grace our game. Unlucky today- was a number of aspects of the game in the second half that just fell flat for Dublin. It has opened the Championship up now something fierce.

Well done to Dublin, always play attacking enjoyable football. If more teams played like them there would be no need for rule changes. Not that we have seen it many time but they are always gracious in defeat nails (Galway) - Posts: 18 - 29/06/2024 20:53:03 2555721 Link 0 |
Hard luck Dublin, some real legends of the game playing for you today. Easy to be wise in hindsight but you would wonder if Dessie had held back a few of the big guns(McCarthy etc) for the closing stretch might things have been different.

Very gracious Katser. However judging by the lack of engagement on this thread it shows Dubs no longer covet Sam as much. It's all been too easy for too ling. shaggykev (Donegal) - Posts: 284 - 29/06/2024 21:29:05 2555742 Link 0 |
He sounds like a lad that's just done the entrance exam and his father has just confused him that it works like boxing!

5 points by us in 2nd half was shocking tbh. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3941 - 29/06/2024 22:08:45 2555767 Link 0 |
Also, I think Dublin may have gone to the well one too many times - looked very leggy in that 2nd half and Galway exploited it to best effect. Certain p[layers looked like there is nothing left in the tank at this stage unfortunately. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3941 - 29/06/2024 23:30:33 2555805 Link 0 |
Real classy post from Galway poster..why can't people appreciate the dubs for how they've played football in last 10 years..they have been fabulous footballers and I've loved watching them..think today we might have seen the last of a number of these players and they owe Dublin nothing,they have been brilliant..if some decide to step away,thanks for making football for me anyway enjoyable to watch again..I think ye have brought other counties up to another level..

Few questions to be asked of management for sure. The Jack and Mannion withdrawals were strange given that they are both dangerous players and not replacing Mannion with Paddy effectively lost us the game as Costello was left with a right footed free on the right wing ideal for a left footed kicker and missed. Having said that, the only intensity we showed in the whole game was when we were two points down in injury time and turned the ball over in Galway's half. Had we had that attitude much earlier we would have won the game. Complacency killed us. Well done to the lads though as they got us to a last eight. A changing of the guard is almost certain now with a lot of lads carrying a lot of miles on their legs. We'll be back to fight another day.
