First save from Connolly was excellent by the Laois keeper but the second one was really top class. Ominous signs for Laois the way Dublin are opening them up though.
That second save was top class alright. Horrific shot from Flynn there.
Third time lucky for Connolly in grabbing his goal. He’s been very lively but could perhaps have laid the ball off to Bernard Brogan a couple of times.
Another magnificent save by Culliton. Is this his first year as senior keeper? Ah the commentator just answered my question - this is his 2nd championship start.
TV3’s use of graphics and stuff in their analysis for kick-outs and shooting etc puts them at a more advanced level than RTE’s efforts.
Whag happened Daithi lads. Looks in a bad way
tyrone won by two i think
Think he drew back to kick the ball but someone put their leg in and he hurt his own leg on impact. Didn’t seem to be dirty or anything.
O’Gara’s solo that went around 6 yards over his head was amusing a few minutes ago. Literally had to wait for the ball to emerge back down from the air before laying it off to Bernard Brogan to pop over.
Cheers Bandahe. Cahir Healy has been outstanding. Dublin no great shakes but we’re a long way off, which we knew anyway.
O’Gara evidently spent the winter working on his basic skills and ironing out the little technical flaws in his game.
Decent win for Dublin in a really poor game.
Just in from the Dublin game. Jesus it was shit, Laois offered nothing and Dublin weren’t at the races. Thought the back line played well and Connolly stood out in the forward line, was really happy to have a fiver on him at 13/2 to get the first goal. Dublin footballers need to win something this year, especially with the hurlers winning the league, the pressure will be on the footballers to bring home some silverware. It been a slow start to the championship this year, so far no good games.
Its hard to believe that it is 20 years since the Dublin/Meath 4 game saga, that was real championship football.
I told yis O’Gara is shite. Got some laugh though when he came on shouting “run forest run”.
what were todays attendances
41k in HQ.
Stephen O Neill is a class act. Clerkins sending off was a tad harsh but a silly foul to commit given the prior yellow. Darren Hughes is a v underrated player.
Dessie Mone is one filthy cunt.
Atmosphere for the second match at Croke Park was as flat as three day old beer. Fun and games on the Hill during the Kildare-Meath game though.
Kildare will beat Dublin.
The Waterford keeper. :lol:
Quality goal by Goulding though.
The provincial championships are a farce and show the Irish up for the simpletons that we are. The notion that winning 2 matches could win a championship and lead to a scenario whereby cows could go unmilked for weeks is ridiculous.
ooh, classy
