Seeing double is not a bad thing for most Dubs Jackeen; two sets of gold chains, sovereign rings, pitbulls, horses, social welfare cheques and Man Ooo tops! waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 13/03/2012 17:28:22 1128742 Link 0 |

Connolly has always been a marvellous footballer at club level. Seems to struggle to make any sort of regular impact on the scoreboard when he wears the county colours though take.yer.pints. But maybe now we are starting to see a more consistant Diarmuid Connolly. Unfortuneatly i still feel for every great game he plays , an absolute shambolic display isnt too far away but thats only because its what we are used to seeing. Its frustrating because we can all see the potential and the talent the fella has and we just want him to show it consistantly. Im sure its frustrating for him too. Im sure we will start to see better performances sooner rather than later and hopefully more consistant ones. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 13/03/2012 17:38:15 1128751 Link 0 |

Just that some Dubs are so big wayno that they have their own postcode; you could play handball/paint a mural on their backs; they don't have a bloodgroup just gravy; four of you get up and give him/her a seat etc etc! Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9688 - 13/03/2012 17:46:12 1128764 Link 0 |

What our you on about ulsterman? Is he saying we're fat? Waynol give Connolly a break. The man is playing well and has shown how good he can be. It's like no matter what he does in the league you won't give him a break. Don't forget he was off the panel in ten and was only finding his feet last year. He will be the main man come the summer I guarantee you that. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 13/03/2012 19:31:57 1128872 Link 0 |
Maybe a little premature with this thread! Dublin deservedly beaten by Down and Cork looked very poor for long spells against Kerry. Kerry too looked very poor against Armag in an earlier game although currently look the best team in Ireland. Still the 3 favourites but all beatable if the opposition has a good day and they don't.

I fancy Cork to win it this year, very capable side who should have at least another one in the bag by now, a tad unfortunate to be caught out by an average Mayo team last year, injuries played their part in Corks defeat in fairness. 51longago (Mayo) - Posts: 2981 - 19/03/2012 14:11:46 1132221 Link 0 |
Joe Brollys comments on RTE last summer that the Cork team were "Dumb Footballers" was never more evident than in Sundays first half display against the Kingdom. It looks like our lads still dont know how to kick good quaility passes into our fowards, which Kerry can do with great excution into Declan Suillvan & co.

There doesnt seem to be much between the loot of them this year looking at the league. Results are all over the shop and just acase of teams clicking on the day. mayobridge (Down) - Posts: 4 - 20/03/2012 11:00:09 1132909 Link 0 |
Very early to be ruling teams in or out of the All-Ireland but to me, Cork have been the most erratic of the big three so far. 1-07, 0-06 and 0-11 in three of their games. In the other two they score 4-11 and 2-14. Sublime to the ridiculous - but that's always been a Cork thing. It seems like getting some consistency in their performances could be the big issue they have come summer time. EnolaGay (Tyrone) - Posts: 653 - 20/03/2012 11:07:50 1132913 Link 0 |
League form counts for little come the championship. Remember Down came within a kick of the ball of winning the all Ireland in 2010 and they had just come out of div 3! ballybannongael (Down) - Posts: 547 - 20/03/2012 11:46:09 1132930 Link 0 |
ballybannongael Down actually finshed their 2010 league campaign 1st in Division 2, with the best points difference in all 4 divisions I believe. peter_venkman (Down) - Posts: 320 - 20/03/2012 12:08:08 1132954 Link 0 |

Fair & indisputable point made there Wayno, but I think the intensity of the League differs from the championship. I personally could not see Dublin losing to Down like this in the AI in the Summer if their crown was at stake gigoer (Wexford) - Posts: 1998 - 20/03/2012 12:37:05 1132987 Link 0 |

Sorry Tyronetim but did people not vote to accept British rule by consent within the 6 county state? hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 20/03/2012 15:33:56 1133219 Link 0 |
