Witnof have you never heard of an aeroplane? Or a boat ? See it's people like you that's wrong with the Gaa , even doh ballymun or Vincent's aren't your club you should be in Parnell Park tonight . clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/10/2016 09:55:49 1929051 Link
You're a disgrace witnof. I can't believe you'd let something like not being in the country stop you from going to a club match. You're exactly what wrong with the GAA or something else about modern Ireland etc etc. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 26/10/2016 10:09:33 1929057 Link

Replying To clondalkindub: "Vincent's have an Armagh player as well can't think of his name right now, I think the Mayo player has a brother involved with Mun as well." Joe Feeney is the Armagh player. Also Fiachra Breathnach (Galway) and Lorcan Smyth (Westmeath) are part of the Vinnies squad. Toney (Meath) - Posts: 298 - 26/10/2016 10:35:50 1929072 Link
Has Parnell Park ever been filled for a Dublin club match? Cully (Laois) - Posts: 375 - 26/10/2016 13:10:15 1929145 Link
Replying To Cully: "Has Parnell Park ever been filled for a Dublin club match?" Two years ago the final between Vincent's and Oliver plunketts was overcrowded, their was people sitting on the steps in the stand and they had to close the gates for terrace as their was no room on the pathway along side of the pitch to walk. generally is their or thereabouts a full house for the football final over last decade but that night was defo biggest crowd I have ever seen in the ground. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 26/10/2016 13:29:14 1929151 Link
Replying To Toney: "Joe Feeney is the Armagh player. Also Fiachra Breathnach (Galway) and Lorcan Smyth (Westmeath) are part of the Vinnies squad." Enda Varley on the bench also for vincents. Best of luck to both teams but i hope they neither win a leinster or all-ireland. Club should be club....not a transfer business. Just my view. galwayfan (None) - Posts: 764 - 26/10/2016 19:34:32 1929308 Link
Could've went either way, but it's Vinnies once again and they'll be hard to beat. Connolly is a great! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 26/10/2016 21:10:02 1929330 Link
Vinnies deserved the win, but just! what a big crowd, love the atmosphere a much better second half, Kickham's suckered with a Black and red card in first half, but they fought well in second very even contest. Would watch Connolly all night took some lovely scores. Kickham's could easily have levelled in added time, should have will regret that. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 26/10/2016 21:11:36 1929332 Link
What a let down! game delayed because of crowd congestion then a packed house seen a game that never got going from start to finish. To be honest neither side deserved to win. Ballymun down two of Their best players early on in first half in Davy Byrne and jayo Whelan yet Vincent's never took advantage. You were always waiting for something to ignite it but never came. a draw would have been a fair result and a replay not extra time and have both of them go at it again and we could have got a real game. Anybody's champo now as Vincent's no world beaters and judes and castleknock nothing between them on paper going into tomorrow night hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 26/10/2016 21:47:59 1929339 Link

It never came? Wha? Connolly kicked 3 of the best points I've ever seen in my life in the 2nd half to ignite it, you've got to understand that 95% of the crowd watching are not from either club so it's hard to get an atmosphere going , Vincent's the way better team won, Mun relying on Rock frees the whole game to keep them in it. Vincent's will win the final no doubt about that. Connolly the greatest I've ever seen in Dublin football unreal tonight when needed most. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/10/2016 22:15:41 1929357 Link

Didnt think there was much of an atmosphere to be honest, Ive been at games with 1/4 of that crowd and there was much better atmospheres. Probably down to the fact that there would have been a lot of neutrals in attendance and the game never really got going. Whelan made a foolish tackle when on a yellow card. It cost them the game and possibly an All Ireland in my opinion. Davy Byrnes black card was ridiculous and really highlights how ridiculous the black card is. Mossy Quinns sending off was very harsh too, I didnt even think it was a free for his second yellow, but I was a bit away from it. Diarmuid Connolly was worth a entrance fee alone to see his 3 points in the second half, what an absolute magician, the most complete footballer I've had the pleasure of seeing play the game.

Radio said there was over 10,000 at this game last night, Some crowd at a county semi final mid week.Some here werent over impressed with Vincents but beating Ballymun is serious form, who are the biggest threat to Vincents been another Dublin team winning an All Ireland? St Judes, Dr Crokes, Corofin ...outsider Rhode Maybe. hurler32 (Limerick) - Posts: 867 - 27/10/2016 09:40:32 1929407 Link
I was at the game as a neutral with my son Connolly gave an absolute masterclass that man will go down as one of the best players of his generation. On a separate note after suffering a disappointing 1 point defeat James mccarthy and Philly mcmahon stayed on the pitch for 45mins signing autographs and pictures absolute gentlemen....can't beat class jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 27/10/2016 09:42:13 1929409 Link
