Completely disagree - other games boring one sided affair..

Ulster final was always gonna be the kick of a ball

Hill you refused to go to Dublin games cause Jim Gavin brought on Brian Fenton in a first round league game in Cork so go easy there pal on old posts.

Rhode are a quality side.

I'm struggling to see why they are massive underdogs in this one.

Should be a close game imo.

Looking forward to this one its on my door step....I really feel tho that Vincents and Connolly will run riot if the conditions are anyway decent at all...maybe by 6 points plus...

If it gets sloppy and the surface cuts up with a factor of wind or rain then maybe Rhode can hold them to a tight game!

I haven't refused to go to any game I have been to almost every o byrne cup league and championship game since that faithful day in pairc to ring where jim Gavin learnt a lesson, it's just a pity his clubman isn't doing the same on here

Oh the same Bryan Fenton who going into the Leinster championship you said was only a kid and I was off my head if I would even consider starting him ahead of mdma. Plus the argument I had with the match against cork was in no way about Bryan Fenton it was and you know well it was about the fact Gavin took off five experienced guys and brought on five young inexperieced players all at the one time that we have seven games throughout a league campaign to blood young guys that it's too much to throw them all in the one game together and thankfully Jim Gavin learned that.

So you're saying Jim didn't know what he was doing in that match? Must've been reading Hogan stand to getting some pointers on coaching, eh????

Vincent's won without really exerting themselves today. The consensus among the Offaly contingent was that Rhode were too defensive, and slow in their build up. Players passing the ball back and forth in their own half was hard to watch. Missing the penalty before half time cost Rhode the game, Vincent's went down and scored a point from the clearance.

The hand passing game is painful to watch, a more attacking approach might have yielded more scores.
The winners scored 1-7 from turnovers, according to local radio.

Rhode have lost 5 Leinster Finals, and maybe some of their senior players may have played in their last provincial final. They have given a lot to the 'Village' down the years, a Leinster title would have been a reward for their efforts down the years.

Two cracking semi-finals in store. There is not much between the 4 teams and any one of them could go all the way.

im saying jim made a mistake that day and we havent seen a league game since where he threw so many inexperienced players in at one time when the game was still there to be won, so yes he learned and hes the first person to say he is always learning like he did after the donegal game in 2014.
