Money can't buy natural ability.

When I seen Noel Hickey coming on as a sub, god help us!

Find it hard to see what Dalo has done to justify the 100k, wonder has he taken them as far as he can.

Not wishing to further the Dubs misery but it's the hurling equivalent of Spain and Ireland. Kilkenny are on a different planet altogether and no one will come anywhere near them this year. Dublin have made great strides but maybe this will bring them back to reality. A few years ago when Antrim knocked the Dubs out of the All Ireland series ALL the Dubs websites were full of rage and anger about "pub teams" beating them; well today the Dubs certainly look like the The Nags Head XV.

very disappointing match, hard to know if kilkenny are that good or Dublin have just deteriorated. I was hoping Dublin hurling would put in a good challenge this year.

Maybe the dubs should get a few more culchies up to the big smoke.

Ah Kilkenny are that good and more everyone should bow to these men and how Cody gets them up for every game.

disappointed kk didn't drive on...........kk's starting 15 would surely have had a stiffer challenge in training.........dubin can count themselves lucky kk didn't turn the screw on them

Lads, Dublin couldn't even rise the ball. Inept is as polite as I can be.

Such a disappointment. Westmeath or Carlow would have beat Dublin there today. Will Daly step down after that? Massive peg back for Dublin hurling after all the hard work done over the last few years.

They should give Kilkenny the Liam Mccarthy right now the only team who
will give them a half decent game this year is Tipp

I suspect we won't be hearing from snufa for a while,
but I do feel for the genuine dublin hurling supporters!
One to forget!

You can be as fit and physical as you want, but you have to have the skills! And nobody has them better than Kilkenny. Pure class all over the pitch.

It happens you know, one week a team plays like world beaters, another like as you say can't even rise it, but thats hurling for you. No teams management puts players out to play like that, no players train to play like that. We've seen Galway caught like rabbits in the KK headlights too and you know what? we'll see them again do exactly the same. Thats the beauty of the game one week you look like the real thing, but KK (who are even better than the real thing) just have a habit of getting inside a teams head and messing it up.

The money spent on that Dublin team and that's what they deliver. Men against boys, skill against hackers. Daly gone this year dubs back into the hurling abyss after spending thousands and thousands. Worst investment ever.
