Are you trying the old Fionn Mac Cumhaill pretending to be a baby trick RD? Because if our "second string" contains Reilly, Keogan, Wallace, McMahon, Menton, Tobin, Forde, O'Sullivan, Lavin and Lenihan, I'd love to know what our strongest team looks like!

Well por will be in goals, some of the subs will naturally be in but they came in second half now t even HT, ID say about 7 including a couple of new lads who have impressed from second string will make starting 15, so yeah majority that started today won't start come championship. But I'll leave that to Andy as he is a master

You are moving the goal posts there somewhat RD.... I said 9-10 who got game time - you are saying majority of starting 15. Look either way it is only Jan but I stand by what I say - that was not a 2nd string team who played today. Still fancy ye to improve a great deal but less of the cute Hoorism please. ... Leave that to the other green and gold crowd down south. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3738 - 22/01/2017 19:37:12 1947821 Link 0 |

I said majority of them were second string, which started and remained like that until into second half, that's actually true. The likes of O'Sullivan lenehane McMahon weren't seen until second half, also the likes of burlingham Burke etc played sat in challenge v donegal

Just to put things in to perspective from a Louth point of view. We also had a 2nd string/experimental team out with 3 new backs and 2 minors up front, and some of our most experienced lads only coming off the bench to close out the game (Reid and McEnaney). Fair to say it was 50/50 from a selection viewpoint.

Great win great support great atmosphere, you never know maybe The Dubs will travel all the way out to Templeogue in the future, I know it's only the o Byrne cup but how can Kildare be losing to that Dublin team , I think Kildare football has hit rock bottom after that yesterday. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 23/01/2017 10:29:13 1947996 Link 1 |

I think the fact that dublins third team can beat a strong Kildare team says it all rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 23/01/2017 13:20:49 1948070 Link 0 |

I just don't see the big hullabaloo over obc games, they are there to try out new players and new things, I mean look at last year a Dublin team with 7 all ire winners starting were well beat with by a Longford team missing numerous players. Was that a indication of the year ahead? Little perspective, Meath started off yesterday with halve the probable team either in stand or having played 16 hours earlier v Donegal. Little perspective. Meath won this comp last year and I't did them no good, use it as a training exercise, and pay little attention to result, trust me if you read anythng into obc you will be sorely disappointed

Great win for the Wee County in Navan yesterday. Meath were very poor. They were 0-04 to 0-02 points up when they had a man send off and Louth surged ahead 0-10 points to 0-04 points. Funny enough if this match was in Drogheda, I would of fancied Meath. Meath have won their last two matches in Drogheda in the O Byrne Cup last year and in the league in 2014. Louth last beat Meath in Drogheda in 2007 in the O Byrne Cup. Louth are unbeaten in their last three matches against Meath in Navan. They beat them yesterday and in the league in 2012 and drew with them in the O Byrne Cup in 2013. The last time Louth played the Dubs in the O Byrne Cup final was in 1999. An Lu Abu!

Yes, yes we have. The only thing you would say it was the O'Byrne Cup but it's no excuse. Have come out of some of those thrashings in Croke Park in recent summers feeling less despondent than I did driving home yesterday. Mayo for Sam! doublehop (Kildare) - Posts: 4172 - 23/01/2017 16:15:29 1948142 Link 0 |

Far worst than no all ireland winners I would say, the Dublin team had I think 2 players who have ever even appeared in a league game before: Jason Whelan and Ciaran Reddin. Absolutely shocking that an almost full strength Kildare didn't win and win comfortably. realman2 (Kildare) - Posts: 464 - 23/01/2017 16:34:05 1948144 Link 0 |

Congratulations to you Ollie. Better team won, simple as that , wind went out of sails after red, but some of those trying to push for starting inclusion didn't play up to standard , and I expect them to not make the final cut before league.
