Might keep it up

Seems to work out very well

Hard luck tonight, very entertaining game, chin up.

Again, Kerry were firm favourites for this one, tipped to win across the board, with plenty to spare too.

They should have won at home against this Dubs side, that's a very good win for this Dublin team in full blown transition,

Hope the bookies lost a nice few quid.

Dubs to lose by 4pts the next day though :)

Well I agree with you not convinced at all. But some come back to be fair.

Why?

Any time a Dublin team plays with that sort of pride and fight is a good day.

Never going to equal the greatest team but they go down with their boots on when beaten and on their day might match the best.

They did us proud tonight.

I was very pleased with the way they played and won an exciting game.
Lining up for 2 pointers and keep ball until the hooter has changed the shape of the game for me.
Looks a lot like soccer.
Holding on to the ball in the past was more risky because you weren't sure when the final whistle was coming exactly.
But now you can practically time it.
Then again I'm old fashioned and I'll get used to it I suppose.

I was instinctively against them but the games I've seen have generally been good. Some very exciting close matches.

Interesting how it looks even much different than the trial games.

I would have strong doubts about it transferring logistically to club. Was talking to club manager this morning and he is totally sceptical.

Thought Dessie was class after the game "nice to win here, but all about developing the players" and hes right.

Good to see there is a bit of strategy around the new rules. Think Breathnach is going to be class, young Clancy did well on Clifford when he came on.

Greg McEnaeney i thought was terrific first half, hes a great man marker and also begining to develop his expansive game.

Huge pity for Lee Gannon, hope its only a set back as opposed to anything hes been through in previous months.

The keeper position ts year is going to be key, a lot of it will be getting up and down the pitch - i wonder if its something the living legend can adapt to.

Nothing won in February, but its pleasing to see development going on, rather then just marking a card in the league.

Is there a rule change regarding the time allowed for a kick-out. Comerford was penalised last night and a free in was given. Fitzmaurice said it was an infringement of the new 20 second rule?
Just watched Mayo/Tyrone and several kickouts, especially Morgan's were way longer and no sanction?

Great effort by the Dubs thought they would cut lead in 2 nd half but didn't imagine the win. I think Kerry have physiological issues with Dublin.
Kerry supporters can't be happy with O Connor. He hasn't maximised the golden generation. He didn't let them play club or collage games, so unless they're purposely holding back it doesn't look great.
Major disappointment was Gannons injury it really didn't look good.

Wonderful comeback by the Dubs last night down in Tralee.
Our first victory down there since 1982. Remarkable turnaround from 12pts down, and 11pts down at half time.
The locals were not best pleased....

This new look Dublin team faced a very strong kerry team and this win will do wonders for the confidence of the new lads.

Looking at the last competitive game the Dubs played least year, the All Ireland 1/4 Final v Galway, only 5 starters remained from the off - McMahon, Howard, Scully, Bugler & Kilkenny.
I was very impressed by the heart and desire shown in that 2nd half. A Trojan effort.
Theo did a great job on Clifford. Greg, Luke and Eoghan played their part also.

Dubs still have Clucko, John Small, Murchin, Con, Costello, Paddy Small & Collie Basquel to come back in.


Hopefully Lee's hamstring injury is not too bad. Feel very sorry for him after been out injured for a year.

On a side note - our jerseys were fairly tested last night. I counted at least 3 Dublin players with ripped jerseys, due to the pulling and dragging they were subjected so....
...or perhaps it was the strong wind that caused it..... ;o)
