Replying To High_and_wide: "With O'Baoill and Thompson both out we are down two of our main 2 point kickers. Hopefully others will step up in the next few games as 2 pointers are becoming a crucial part of the game and you need a lot of options. McFadden, Mogan, McGee, Malone, and obviously Langan can all hit from distance so hopefully we won't see a dip in 2 pointers in the next few games.
Another thing is do we have a strategy to defend against opposition 2 pointers. Who will tag Ryan O'Donoghue? Maybe Roarty would be a good option for him." I think Roarty is the man to mark O'Donoghue, he has the speed and tenacity for the job.

They will continue to be a difficult team to beat and on their day will trouble the best teams in the country but they just never seem to have that X factor needed to go on and win the big one.
I expect Sunday to be a tough game in not great conditions, I can see it being a bit of a battle, I think we will will come away with the points and secure our div 1 status but a draw wouldn't surprise me either." Lol are you the expert are ya? . We came up against the best team ever Dubs 6 in a row. Where the only ones whoever came close to them . Would hardly call that blowing chances. Yes we for sure blew one or two no doubt about it . But to say we will never wim sam is just a load of rubbish from an outsider and from a rival county . A draw wouldn't surprise you hilarious your ahead of us but we have had your number last few in years in league anyways. Another ridiculous post from you.

O'Donoghue is now playing on the 40 so if fit I'd say you'll see Eoin Ban on him. Give Roarty the licence to go forward as much as possible and pick off the scores he's been getting recently.

I think Roarty would be a better match for him, Eoin ban can bomb froward as well, of course when Roarty breaks
O'Donoghue might have to hit the brakes at the half way line.
I can see them kicking high ball in to big O'Shea, a dangerous tactic on a Wintry day.

I don't normally reply to trolls but I'll make an exception because you made me laugh with this reply, it reminds me of a discussion I heard on 'off the ball' one time, could have been David Brady that was on not sure but anyway they maintained that if the Dublin 6 in a row team where the best team of all time then Mayo were the second best!
you'd just have to laugh at their logic,
of course Donegal actually beat that great Dublin team in 2014, otherwise it possibly could have been 8 in a row but you don't hear us saying we were the second best team of all time lol.
Poor Mayo, I really do feel sorry for them, at least most of the team from that era got a national league winners medal and a good few Connacht medals having beaten the likes of Leitrim, Sligo, London and New York along the way, 2nd best team of all time indeed.

If we take the "Dublin Era" as 2011 to '23 when Clucko, Fitz and Macker won 9 celtic crosses the Dubs won about 75 championship matches and lost 4, one to Donegal, two to Mayo and one to Kerry. Any Dublin player, manager or fan from that era knows that over those years Mayo were consistently our closest and toughest rivals, regularly just a kick of the ball between us.

And you know if they ever do win one, David will be back to say they're best team of all time of course. Insufferable fools.
