For the minors on the undercard of course :) I was at matches in the late 70s with the da but I've no real recollection other than a wooly scarf and rattler. My first real memory is the 1980 Leinster Final where we got rolled over by a great Offaly team and a game in which John O'Leary made his debut.

2 September 2000, Kerry vs Armagh in the semi final replay. Sat in the Hogan Stand which was still under construction. Aged 9 and when my love for Dara O Cinneide was born. dakid (Australia) - Posts: 282 - 05/10/2018 10:03:03 2145231 Link 0 |

You are only as young as the woman you feel so marry a woman a lot younger than you.

Cavan v Dublin in a league semi-final in 1989 (?) I don't remember very much about it except it was very wet and we lost. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12103 - 05/10/2018 10:54:50 2145248 Link 3 |

A league game against Roscommon in either 76 or 77. Dublin had just won the all Ireland and my friend from school had been at it so myself and my brother hounded our dad to go to a 'real' game like on the TV. We were in the lower Cusack and the two things that stuck in my head was the vivid yellow jerseys on a grey day and the headcases bouncing around on the hill.

I do not remember it but there is a photo of me being held up by my late father at the 1964 All Ireland semi final against Galway (I was only 2). ROYALOPTIMIST (Meath) - Posts: 179 - 05/10/2018 18:08:23 2145297 Link 0 |
Mid 80s , Dublin v Cork in all Ireland minor semifinal , me and a few friends were in for our first time , we were in the Cusack stand , and we were heading to our seats , when a drunk cork fan punched my friend in the face , we were only about 13/14 , he never went to a game again. He has missed out on many a great day hipster (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 05/10/2018 18:11:10 2145298 Link 0 |
Feel sorry in a way for my lads who have only known the stadium we have , don't think they get or appreciate where we have come from , we all get a bit rose mantic in our auld age but some of my best memories where In the old place , not every great memory is about winning , it was very rare for us to be successful when I attended with my late father Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 05/10/2018 18:51:57 2145302 Link 2 |

After checking with my uncle you're right as always Ollie. One of the 4 Meath Dublin games in 1991 is what the photo is from. He's not sure which though.
