the dubs are generally very successful when we are down to 14 men in recent years to the point of actually not losing confidence at all as a fan when we lose a player. I've actually seen games where we go down to 14 and perform better waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 29/01/2018 01:25:15 2071729 Link 2 |
I'm not sure if the League Sunday panel even mentioned the fact that Donegal played most of the game a man down, or that Paddy McBrearty was clearly the best player on the pitch. Why is that I wonder? greatpoint (USA) - Posts: 427 - 29/01/2018 11:39:07 2071849 Link 0 |

In fairness Dublin can do it cause they are potentially the best football team ever. Doesn't mean they wouldn't win by more with 15 v 15. But 95 per cent of teams really struggle with a man down and if they do eke out a win its a sign they were superior .

You'd think it'd be easier to come back against 13.

I started this topic a while back. Spring to mind again tonight . Tipperary losing by a point to Cavan and missing out on promotion after stupid red card in first half. Monaghan would probably be in league final too but for a stupid first half red in salthill . Teams work so hard only to let indiscipline cost them.

It was in the 2nd half, but yeah, it lost Tipp the game. Completely needless.

Every manager, from club to county, trains with 14 on 15. Common sense, at some stage you are going to get a man lined. Discipline has become a big thing among managers, Mickey Harte usually subs defenders immediately if they get a yellow. Can't run the risk of going down to 14.
