Just a post for anyone attending minor under twenty ones this year either code , will be in Parnell park on Sunday hopefully to watch my son play Dublin North v Dublin South in hurling Senior Colleges game winner to take on Kilkenny CBS next week , quite a few dual players (u17) involved my own lad included . Anyone see anything worth talking about just pop it up over the year , A point on minor we have not had much success since we started insisting on lads at minor choosing a code , last year a couple of the lads who chose hurling were seriously missed by the footballers , didn't think it did C Kilkenny Cormac and Eric any harm ???? Wonder if same policy will continue. Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 26/01/2017 13:41:50 1948945 Link

Don't be outing me man , seriously yep that's my lad , just made the 17s football as well u17 , couldn't be prouder , have always watched to see who is coming along ,huge fan of Feile etc On the game on Sunday South would be deemed player clubwise to be ahead of the North , however North have had the harder games v Offaly and Wexford and league games v St Keirans , that gives battle hardened North a chance Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 26/01/2017 17:19:07 1949017 Link

Fair play to the young lad.I played 3 games for south Dublin U16 v Kilkenny,Offaly and north Dublin about 25 years ago and still have the photos somewhere.Unfortunately i hit the drink hard quite young and lost my way and my career was finished at 17!Before it even started you could say.Something i regret to this day and always will. Once your lad is happy and healthy and enjoying what hes doing,its all good.Who knows,all Dubs posters here could be seeing him on the hallowed turf in years to come.No pressure hey! cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 26/01/2017 17:43:46 1949024 Link
Fair play Damo best of luck to your young lad I see his name on the north team so I'll be keeping an eye out for him in the future. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/01/2017 19:39:50 1949049 Link

Sorry hill thought I'd replied already , lads represent their college , unusual as it is those lads are in colleges on the south side hence their playing for south side colleges , Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 26/01/2017 22:20:35 1949087 Link
Ah come on Hill silly question these lads obviously want a proper education and we all know you can only get that on the southside. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/01/2017 22:29:55 1949090 Link

Mad to think somebody would be going to school somewhere on Southside and playing for clubs in Marino and dollymount areas at that age it's a fair distance, I wonder do they live where the school's or the clubs are then? hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 26/01/2017 23:44:42 1949105 Link

Anyone tune into Matt Coopers sports hour on Today FM today?Dont know what what GAA journalist they had on but he predicted Dublin underage to be split north v south in the coming years and eventually for the county to be split.Senan Connell,who i find to be a poor enough pundit,didn't argue against it and made some stupid joke about splitting the hill for games between the two!I was disgusted with this horse manure waffle.No way it's going to happen.Other counties may have to amalgamate down the road (thats what i feel anyway) but no way we are going to be split in half!Northsiders and Southsiders,Dubs one and all! cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 27/01/2017 21:35:55 1949342 Link
Cue it will never happen, Dublin is the biggest draw in the Gaa just like man united in soccer or the La Lakers in basketball , why would they destroy the biggest gig they've got? They won't, it will never happen. This nside/sside thing bugs me were all Dubliners. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 28/01/2017 00:11:24 1949364 Link
Nice touch after the lads knock seven lumps out of each other today , meal organised for both teams together and tea sambos for families , Dublin together again never divided Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 29/01/2017 09:11:28 1949659 Link

It is more likely that they'll split Dublin then amalgamate smaller counties , it would make more since to the gaa as they could make more money from two Dublin teams. From what I can see they're already doing it with ye'r underage so it wouldn't be a massive jump to push it at senior. In fairness is there anything ye can do to stop it? I mean if the rest of the country vote for it at congress. TheGhost1 (Kerry) - Posts: 24 - 29/01/2017 12:53:05 1949714 Link

Leave the gaa with the option of one Dublin or no Dublin. What do you think they'd choose? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 29/01/2017 14:24:59 1949734 Link
