Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Fenton was silly to run after the Derry player in the first place… not something I have seen him do before… He should have been smart and waited his chance and not be so obvious about it… The red was deserved and the ball should have been thrown up instead of giving Dublin the fee in further up the field… poor referring again" Are you a Ref or do you intend volunteering your services as a Ref?

Replying To Seanfanbocht: "Are you a Ref or do you intend volunteering your services as a Ref?" What is it to you…? Do you honestly think the standard of refereeing is up to scratch… they are getting paid you know…. The standard of refereeing at County level ( football especially ) is appalling and then you go down to club level it gets worse… I blame the GAA more so than the individuals for this total mess….

No Whiteley who i assume must be injured? Big task for Conor Donohe at chb. Great potential in that lad. If defence has good day, Wexford will struggle for scores again. Good on paper but just never clicked so will come down to them pulling out their biggest performance for two years. Biggest game of the year probably. Win and they have a good chance of making the qualifiers. Lose and its probably another two losses and need to beat Antrim and Carlow to stay in championship.

Seems,we Dubs are not permitted comment on an incredible comeback. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2545 - 21/04/2024 18:28:27 2539573 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Seems,we Dubs are not permitted comment on an incredible comeback." Super comeback. Lots of character, belief and pride in the jersey shown. Cant ask for much more than that tbh. They never gave up or threw in the towel. Delighted for them. Must build on this now. Kilkenny and Galway will be a different proposition but hopefully this result will bring some extra confidence to the squad. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3727 - 22/04/2024 09:40:38 2539722 Link

Wasn't there but that character and fight seems to have been key, and has been missing since the Clare hammering. Realistically Dublin and Wexford's year might come down to who hammers Antrim and Carlow. Neither a foregone conclusion. And either hope to get a result against the big two or at least avoid a hammering at their hands. At least we have something to fight for now. Carlow down there and Wexford in Belfast are potential banana skins for both. Dublin won comfortably enough last year down there but they were by no means disgraced against Galway. Tough side with one of best free taking forwards in country in Kavanagh, He kept them in it last year and if Dublin are as sloppy in that department as they seemed to have been in Wexford, then it might be close.

We need to baton down the hatches at the back - goal concessions have been a problem v the likes of Kilkenny and co. Hopefully the manner of the draw v Wexford will give the lads extra confidence.
