Replying To Doylerwex: "Frankly as an outside observer I think Dublin are in the long grass. I think you can win Leinster this year." I think we will find it very difficult to beat Galway tbh. Reckon they are a bit ahead of us. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4843 - 13/03/2026 12:45:13 2661085 Link
Replying To Fionn: "I think we will find it very difficult to beat Galway tbh. Reckon they are a bit ahead of us." They're very good, but your record against them is strong. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4324 - 13/03/2026 13:45:30 2661091 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "They're very good, but your record against them is strong." If we can get under their skin and into their heads we will win. Not beaten them since O'Donoghue took over armed with inside intelligence on our lads! Would be great to beat them again in Salthill.

Great first half from Niall Scully Top performance from him Keep it going, Dubs were hungry there More of the same needed in the second half Beelzedub (Dublin) - Posts: 493 - 14/03/2026 19:49:06 2661169 Link
Replying To Beelzedub: "Great first half from Niall Scully Top performance from him Keep it going, Dubs were hungry there More of the same needed in the second half" Good win for under 19 hurlers in Wexford last night. Strange grade but shows there's good potential coming through. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 4079 - 14/03/2026 22:26:19 2661190 Link
Was there ever a time the Dublin hurlers were in the top division and Dublin footballers in Division 2? Past hurler (None) - Posts: 1027 - 14/03/2026 23:56:17 2661198 Link
Replying To Beelzedub: "Great first half from Niall Scully Top performance from him Keep it going, Dubs were hungry there More of the same needed in the second half" How Jarly Og got black carded for the half time incident and Scully got nothing was a bit baffling. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1504 - 14/03/2026 23:58:38 2661199 Link

Replying To Past hurler: "Was there ever a time the Dublin hurlers were in the top division and Dublin footballers in Division 2?" A few times. 1985/86 for definite. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 4079 - 15/03/2026 09:33:20 2661219 Link
All credit to Armaghs second half display, thought they deserved it. Dubs played well, very disappointing to lose when the game was there to be won but they just couldn't find the scores and again credit to Armagh, excellent comeback away from home, Dubs need to find a big performance to stay up now Beelzedub (Dublin) - Posts: 493 - 15/03/2026 16:12:18 2661281 Link

Messing about with the ball, over and back, to and fro, and not trying to put more distance between us. 11pts up in the 2nd half and collapsed like that. It was terrible. We have a major problem in the middle of the pitch. And our full back line also. Couple of players I expected a lot more from, and it will be hard to see a way back for one in particular. Scully was excellent and Howard until he started getting involved in that nonsense, We need to sort out a lot of stuff before the Leinster campaign in a few weeks. Meath are absolutely flying and scoring 2 pointers for fun. They are head and shoulders above anyone else in Leinster currently. Hopefully a few more injuries clear up - we need players back, and quick...! Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4843 - 15/03/2026 20:16:06 2661365 Link

Yep Fionn we did blow it alright but beside the good comeback by ArmaghvI was happy enough with our forwards.I felt our backs did nt show enough to help out O Sullivan in goals.Howard was silly and so was Scully but got away with it.Overall we showing positive signs but midfield deffo a problem area.POCB has talent but fades out of games.Survival still in our own hands . brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 521 - 17/03/2026 11:15:01 2661569 Link

We did put up a good score but conceded far too much and far too easily. POCB is not a full 70min performer unfortunately. Far too hit and miss. But the bigger issue is who to play alongside him... Full back line will be taken apart by some of the top teams. As you say, we did show signs of improvement in that first half but why the hell did they take their foot off the gas.? Hopefully it was just fitness,,,,, All or nothing now in Galway. Let's see how we perform over the course of that game in its entirety....

Great to see DCB getting their act together and re-structuring our Academy setup. Hopefully we will see the fruits of this in a short space of time. I called this out a few years ago, and finally we have some progress on that front. And with the development of the Spawell site now about to happen, eventually some progress on that also. Next up - Hollystown.... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4843 - 18/03/2026 12:08:34 2661667 Link
