Every county has their own methods,I believe Leinster will be the strongest province next year for the first time in a long time...

From Dublins point of view you can do all the preb work well,but they seriously need a few natural forwards,can Brogan do it all alone next year again??

Fair play to them. It's a fair statement to make. Seems to have paid off last year considering they were so close to winning an all Ireland.

You gotta love the Jacks! Nothing better than the banter on the train on the way into Croker! If nothing else they encourage true rivalry which is what this sport is built on!

What about it, they trained at 6:30 last year and Gilroy did the same with St Vincent's before that.

They have to be admired for their commitment!

All i can think though is they did the same last year! slogging up in the morning at that time, then doing a days work, training again and when they put in a poor performance against Wexford their supporters treat them like dogs booing them as if they were dirt in the middle of the field at half time! Not just the hill but supporters all around the Croker stands! thats the thanks they got last year and I will never forget it.

If they put in a poor performance in their opening games again! - Treat them with a little bit of respect and remember the sacrifices they have put in.

841813 See what you could 'find' ;) ;)

Jaysus "Nacca" I knew you were a Dublin stalker but I never for one second would have thought you'd break into the Dubs dressing room and rob Stephen Cluxtons clothes... aand wallet!!

It scares me to think what you might be doing with his clothes!!

Never mind the break in......whats the craic with one the dubs wearing a snood during the match last night! And to top it off he also had a pair of tights on.....That early morning training doesn't seem to be toughening him up much! And there was me thinking we played a mans game in this country!

Apologies Jim I see that just went way over you're head. It was pitched at way too high of a level for you, funny because most other people seemed to get it. Ah well..

Here's one just for YOU buddy. Fairly simple, see if you can get it.

Why did the skeleton not go to the party? Because he had noBODY to go with. Get it? Ha....

Jeeze man I got what you were talking about... bloody hell. hahaha

I just thought the two stories linked up in a bit of a funny manner... A strange coincidence and all that!

No need to let it bother you so much..... I didnt actually think that you broke into the Dubs dressing room ;)

I was only having a wee joke with you for once... ;)

I mean if you want to start judging IQ's or something well that's ok too… :) but well it's a little childish… I mean what's happened to you man.

You used to be better than this… what's next? Call me poopy face or something... jaysus...

Anyway man... until the next time ;) Stay well...

Stolen Dublin gear found

Items from the Dublin dressing-room which was burgled during Tuesday night's O'Byrne Cup clash at St Loman's, Mullingar have been recovered.

The burglary occurred during the first-half of Westmeath's victory over the Dubs and according to Leinster Council officials, it was the use of CCTV footage at the grounds which helped identify the culprits responsible.

Dublin county board chairman Andy Kettle described the theft as "extremely regrettable".

"There wasn't a huge amount taken, but that it happened at all is extremely regrettable," said Kettle.

"There were phones, clothes and jerseys taken, that kind of stuff. Whether they were 'trophies', I don't know, but it seems strange that in some cases they stole clothes and left wallets behind.

"It happened before half-time, and when the players came in at the break it's fair to say that they weren't best pleased," he added.

All's well that ends well "Nacca" I'm sure you'll just get away with a bit of a fine... I mean boys will be boys!
