Replying To Fionn: "Gutted with that result tbh.
Going in at HT 1-15 to 1-11 down after playing against the wind, I, and most of those around me on the Hill, felt that we were in a good place.
But to only score 4 points (excluding the penalty and 2 very late goals in injury time) was shocking. FT 4-29 to 4-15.
Rushe and Crummey both going off injured, early in the 2nd half were major blows to our chances but you can't expect to win a game of hurling with such a low scoring return in the 2nd half.
Galway definitely learned from our meeting a few weeks ago, but why oh why did we persist with the long high ball. Galway won most of the high balls, and most of the scraps for the loose ball.
Yes we gifted them their goal in the first half and another couple of points. We also fluffed 3 goal chances, but I did not expect us to be over powered like that in the 2nd half.
The main positive was seeing so many Dublin fans come out to cheer on the Dubs in front of an attendance of 46,463 (the Leinster rugby semi final in the Aviva only had 15,346 attendance).
On a side note - I think Brian Hayes will get an All Star this year. He is phenomenal. Although at times he tried to take on and beat the whole Galway team. ;o)
But hats off to Galway.
Next up for the Dublin Hurlers is an All Ireland 1/4 Final v Clare.
Surely we can't play that poorly again.??????" Based on the smugness of Daly and CO last night you might even turn them over.
You certainly have our support as good Leinster Hurling people.

Hopefully the hurlers can regroup and give Clare a rattle and I think they will.
The footballers should beat Cavan and who knows after that.If we can get a few injuried players back like POCB in particular we could surprise a team or two.I think Armagh are top guns now followed by donegal.I think the Yerras are in trouble but trying to keep things quiet.A good friend of mine from Kerry reckons Sean O Shea and their Keeper Ryan more than likely out for the season and while he not certain they are very worried about Gavin White the Older Cifford and a few more.
Galway seem to have their injuries cleared up so they will be contenders too.I would have no fear of Mayo.

Dublin footballers have suffered yet another blow as Killian McGinnis is out for the remainder of the season after sustaining cruciate & medial ligament tears in the recent loss to Louth. Wishing him well in his recovery.

Even at nearly 45, he would be an improvement.
Which is sad to say.
Anyway, let's see if Ger being back has any affect on our performance…

Replying To Fionn: "A bit mad alright but if you look at what is happening across the water, it is more than likely that our Gov will follow suit... :o(
Defo time for Mattie to get our Hurlers to the next level.
We are very predictable as you say, but we have some very skilled hurlers in our panel, and coming through from our U21 teams. A few tweaks here and there might work wonders.
Following our hurlers can be so frustrating - very seldom keep the momentum of a good performance with consecutive wins.
I actually think quite a bit of it is in the heads of the players when playing against a Top 4 team, in a match of substance. Our big victories are not frequent enough. Hopefully this changes sooner rather than later." Im expecting POCB to start.

Great to get the win today in front of 14,500.
Wasn't expecting an 11pt victory tbh FT 0-16 to 1-24
Only a point in it at half time but a few tweaks by Ger did the trick, and we scored the last 1-03 without reply.
We had 9 scorers with Con top scoring with 1-09.
Great to see Lee and Collie both chipping in with 2pts.
And Ross with 3pts.
Hopefully Cossie's injury isn't too bad after he went off early on.
So next up is either Donegal, Armagh or Mayo…!
Interesting hearing Ger saying after the game to DubsTv that IF we get a Home tie, he will be pushing for it to be played in Parnell Park….!

Just heard Ger's interview on OTB - again reiterating his desire for the Dubs to play in Parnell Park.
I honestly think we will be going Home to the Neller for our League games at least next year…!
Also his thoughts on the current ban rolling over to the 2 league games next year.

I'd probably like to see it be Dub v. Mayo, and in the Neller. Dub-Mayo games bring a great atmosphere. Would expect Dub to win.
I'd like to see Armagh v Kerry in Box-It.
Meath v Donegal in Nyvan or nearest available ground.
W'Meath v Monaghan in Mullingyar!
