[QUOTE=âcmontofuck, post: 1129684, member: 2737â]Spillane and Brolly back doing the analysis - summer is near.
Theyâve already ensured the Cork wing back, Jamie OâSullivan, is looking at an 8 week ban for that elbow into Diarmuid Connollyâs chin.[/QUOTE]
A god send for Cork. How he plays inter county is beyond ridiculous. He wouldnât play anywhere else in the country, nowhere.
Fairly lousy of Connolly to pick him up and drag him outside to clatter again.
Cork are muck
Welcome to 2015
[QUOTE=âmickee321, post: 1129705, member: 367â]on a serious note tho do we have a decent Ulster team team this year?
i presume you can just default to Donegal, but i think they caught dublin cold last year, it wll in its fuck happen again , plus their full back line is a shambles
only kerry can beat dublin, they are the only team with decent forwardsâŚits a fucking shit state of affairs this championship[/QUOTE]
Armagh, Tyrone, Donegal, Monaghan and possibly Derry.
did you get your dads views on the cork game and crowd, it was a greatd advert for the league
[QUOTE=âdodgy-keeper, post: 1129711, member: 1552â]When itâs packed itâs still a great venue.
Anything less than 60% full, though , and it is horrific. Proper tumbleweed territory stuff. The club finals this year was dreadful (as it is most years), it was worse again for the hurling quarter final a week later.
It definitely is over used a lot, some of these Mickey Mouse league comes could be shifted to Tullamore or Portlaoise and thereâd be a bit of a buzz around the towns on match days.[/QUOTE]
really , i have been to a shit load of all ireland and its always been dreadful. i guess its because average league crowds are about 1k and championship crowds are about 8k then the majority of fans arent used to going to games so dont create an atmosphere. they just get giddy. also they fucked up big time not finishing it

I agree with your league assessment but average FAI Cup crowds are a long way short of 8k, honey.
Their management team is their biggest problem imo
A loi team would get 50k in the champions league group stages in the aviva, if they got to the CL final they would bring 50k to the final. There aint no bandwagon there
Do you think so? Because of the style of play or some other reason?
were caught out last year because the âfull court pressâ designed to overwhelm teams didnât work against Donegal and ended up playing with no half back line but if they had taken early goal chances it would have been game over

And when can you see this happening mate

no really recognised man marker and a defence that donât defend as a unit is Dublinâs Achilles heelâŚ
You may laugh, but there are some very shrewd operators such as Jonathan Irwin and the Dublin International Sports Council (DISC) and Diageo behind this plan and I hear from informed sources that âit is definitely going to happenâ.
within 18 months
true, its funny how the same lads again this year are handing Dublin the cup. Cork were simply disgraceful yesterday, there was still massive flaws in Dublins defence.
cork didnât look fit/sharpâŚmaybe they hadnât really expected to get to league final and are doing heavy training now for later in year?..Dublin might have more men back nowadays but they donât really know what their job isâŚ
Dublin won that game in 1st gear, you would fear for Cork if they came up against one of the big ulster teams this year
[QUOTE=âSidney, post: 1129616, member: 183â]
I honestly donât give a shit whether I attend another Dublin football match this year.[/QUOTE]
and they all laughed at me for choosing the Dame tavern over croker⌠since about 2012 I couldnât give a fook if I went to another gameâŚIâve been twice since 2011 all Ireland final⌠both times tickets were sourced and got by someone else⌠otherwise I wouldnât go out of my wayâŚ
I had the same epihany in 96
good to see you on board
