Over the past 2 years ,Dublin have won an all ireland a league and a couple of leinsters,not bad for a team that doesnt have a settled unit.

It's really your failure to land an O'Byrne Cup.

Yeah but we won the O'Byrne shield in 2011 beating Meath in extra time in the final, does that count?

Going great in training apparently. Could start ahead of Paddy or Paul if Gavin is true to his word but I doubt it.

No, not really. Until you've won the big one you'll never really understand. There's really no feeling like it. It's like your skin goes all funny and you get a lot of swelling, itching, burning, and sharp nerve sensations. Either that or I got frostbite at the final. I'm not sure.

After Dublin losing to Kildare in the OB cup final earlier in the year. We are just playing for pride here on in. Nothing else to play for. Shame really cause we've a decent group of guys who really felt they could mix it amongst the elite of Carlow, Longford, and Kildare in the OB cup.

Still reckon he would be a great man to bring on and run at a tiring Kildare defence if we really needed him.

Yeah!!, A game changer from the bench lads.. Not one for me who will give 70 minutes of lung busting runs at the defence.. If he starts he gets taken off .. If he doesn't start he comes on at some stage. I'd rather the latter.

Wayno you think Kildare would tire? Kildare are fit just as fit as Dublin thats one thing I wont worry about and thats Kildare's strength and conditioning and preparation.
Be prepared for a very physcial game.

Lads he isn't having a go at Kildare's fitness levels, we all know they are very fit, but generally speaking who is going to have more energy : The man who is fresh from the bench or the defenders who have played 50 or 60 minutes of high intensity football? Even though I think Kevin deserves more time from the start, his energy and direct running is crucial from the bench.

Ah yeah sure thats the logic for any sub the legs wouldnt be as tired although not sure as many would get away with the steps kevin mc takes I do laugh at the telly watching him.

lilywhitemagic (Kildare) - Posts: 1693 - 24/06/2013 16:42:09    1414508

Every forward gets away with 5 or 6 steps, Kev probably gets away with more because he takes small strides. The steps rule is a bit ridiculous these days though, every game you have players getting away with 6+ steps, but if a guy is lying on the ground being tackled by 5 men he gets called for overcarrying? I never did get that one.

Get you own referee in earlier CaisleanCnucha...

All joking aside, how is this guy reffing so many of their games?
