[quote=āglasagusban, post: 813524, member: 1533ā]Ah yes. We could dust off the old, āon a wet day Limerick/Dublin might drag them down to their levelā chestnut!
Not sure the wind ruined the Cork v Clare game though, Clare ruined that themselves.[/quote]
Iād drag them to the bowels of Hades if it meant winning an All-Ireland!
[quote=āfenwaypark, post: 813517, member: 276ā]Iād rate the Dublin backs but they are lacking the natural hurling ability from 8-15 that cork possess IMHO.
To be honest, I would not pick any of the Dublin forwards ahead of the Cork forwards.[/quote]
Iād take Keaney over any of our forwards.
Really looking forward to Sunday now. Iām hopeful that the movement of our forwards will cause them big problems, but canāt really get a read on how it will go.
Iād have guessed Lehane, but it was a bit of a strange one to throw out there.

Personally i dont rate keaney all that much.
On recent form youād take at least three of Paul Ryan, Keaney, dotsie, or oādwyer.
If Dublin win they will go the whole way
Cussen no? A handful but not a natural born killer I donāt think. Fair play to him for he has worked hard for himself and his county though.
Nah, I wouldānt.
I would presume regardless of which combination it is in this years A/I final that tickets will be very hard to come by compared to previous years with them boring Kilkenny cunts in the final
keaney has had a few poor games in last 2 seasons and the legs have gopne a bit but overall is probably best hurler dublin ever producedā¦
a dublin v Limerick final would be the hardest to get tickets for IĀ“d imagineā¦
Seen him play when he was minor/u21 and he was as good as any of his peers. He never got to fulfill his potential as a senior due to years playing football.
Lads rave about him now, but much like you I think he struggles when the ground is hard and the intensity is increased. His hurling suffers as a result.
I think that accident he had a couple of years ago when he knocked off his bike took a lot out of him. He hasnāt been the same player since he came back.

trueā¦heĀ“s defo not the player he was but that consistency would have been hard to maintainā¦he was winning matches on his own for a whileā¦the knee injury took its toll tooā¦

last years replay was a pain in the hole get tickets for with the Galway bandwaggons nose to tail from salthill to the end of the toll road. Sickened me a bit. Had tickets fall through that Iād promised a lad, and he had to watch it in a pub with his son, when I had had absolutely no trouble getting him seats for the first game.
yeah he struggled for form last year after coming backā¦was your mate from cuala?..Boden were very stale last yearā¦they didnĀ“t even train for group stages of championship and got caughtā¦theyĀ“ll win championship this yearā¦

Thatās a shame. I was at both games. I had absolutely no interest in the replay in particular but I watched it from a Corporate Box (at halfway).
Jesus thatās a high compliment indeed. I didnāt know he was that highly rated as a young lad. Big pity he played football for so long so.
