Replying To galwayford:  "Galwayford was at the match. Thought Galway team looked smaller in comparison to the bigger Dubs. Dublin physically stronger in difficult conditions. Galway a lot of hand passing with very little to show, just wides. Galway full back line looked weak and also our full forward line did not score any goals. Dublin could have won by more tbh."
Galway had 45 shots to Dublin's 27. Not to mention we handed them an own goal. I'm not sure how Dublin could have won by more. They only had 3 wides in the entire game. The pretty much maxed out as well as a team could, whereas we were very wasteful.
Massive improvement needed for the Wexford game.

Replying To galwayford:  "Physically Dubs pushed Galway around. Especially full forward line. Last goal was example. Wexford are a strong team. And unless Galway get stuck in, they could lose."
We are a very young and physically small team

Replying To bloodandbandage:  "Yes, and if we applied the same system to Leinster this year with 5 teams, we'd be saying goodbye to your lads!"
Yes. And if we finished last we would deserve to go down, as would anyone else that finishes last in a tiered championship structure.

It was a mistake not to go for Dublin at a physical level.
He should have rested A. Niland and maybe one or two others.
I'd be happy with a draw Sunday to regroup after the U-20 final

Replying To brayballer:  "Would not worry bout it really.We always had the bandwagon fans who came for the craic.Met lots of lads over the years that did not know the rules or the players.They will be back again for the good days.We have a good hardcore fan base that travel to all the matches and they are the real fans .I stopped going to the hill because of some of our own idiots and some other county idiots also.While there are alot of great fans on the Hill,it does attract the idiots that know nothing about gaa.I notice that the fans that pay for the stand seem to be genuine fans and know their stuff."
I think you will find that the majority of the hardcore fans that remain, are the ones that are still on the Hill.

Replying To ElGranSenor:  "I suppose you would have to work winter hurling around the following though

County semi-finals and finals at underage level
Rackard League - Schools + District competitions
Secondary schools competitions
ASH"
The winter hurling I mean is something along the Clare lines, an hour or so a week of a midweek evening. Shouldn't have to clash with anything. 2 age groups on an evening, say u11s and u12 one evening, u13s and u14s another, and u15 and u16s another. Maybe 40 lads in each agegroup in 2 different indoor venues. 8 coaches per night doing 1 night of 2 hours each, so 24 coaches needed.
Or if you wanted to expand the number of boys to 50 or 60 in 2 venues, then more coaches would be needed.
Or if you wanted to run an u11 ASH type scheme with 200 boys alongside the u12 ASH scheme, then do that, and just run this plan for u13s, u14s, u15s and u16s over 2 nights. Just late September, October, November and early December. Say 12 weeks with a break at school half term. It would only be 1 hour per week for each boy.
Get the clubs to go back coaching the lads in mid January then.

Replying To brayballer:  "Oh dont get me wrong Fionn.Yes alot of the Hill are genuine true blue fans and yes they are in the majority and they are the best fans in the country but unfortunately the bandwagon fans go there too.Im sure most of the hill last Sunday were the real fans and the bandwagon fans were watching premiership."
Definitely.
Perhaps it is not cool to follow the Dubs anymore for them.
;o)

One thing that stood out last week though was the lack of Dubs in the stands. Was there even 500 Dubs on seats.??? Usually you see sections of blue in the Cusack.
All we could see was Westmeath. If I saw a hand full of Dublin flags in the stands, that was it.

At least Parnell Park will be rocking tomorrow.
Hoping we get a result to match it.
