Mentioned this on the Dublin thread, whether it's in PP, CP or out on Lambay Island we need to be seriously up for this.
Another lethargic display like last weekend and our goose will be cooked for the year.

I have faith that there is a kick in us yet.
Time will tell!

Replying To Ulsterchamps72:  "We did not get a lucky goal we turned them over and scored. Galway did the same yesterday for the Shane Walsh goal, we also missed a 1 on 1 with the keeper, Michael could have taken the ball in and rounded the keeper instead of trying to palm it in. We then missed a straight forward 2 pointer from the edge of the arc (Shane O'Donnell), that would have put it out to a 12 point lead. However Cork were the better team coming down the stretch and we allowed that. Hence we play again next weekend."
'could have scored a goal', 'should have scored a 2 pointer', 'missed a one on one' , 'could have had a 12 point lead'.... all those statements are basically making my point which was that I didn't think we played well in the first half yesterday, if we were playing well those chances would have been taken and we'd have won the game.

If the Parnell Park capacity is 7,300, and there are 3,500 Donegal season tickets to begin with, would the crowd split not essentially be split 50/50?

Replying To Eddie the Exile:  "In Dublin get to bring Donegal to Parnell Park it will be, ironically, a reward for Ger Brennan getting a suspension that he deserved, invalidly compared to Jim McGuinness not getting a suspension that he didn't deserve.
Only in the GAA..."
I don't know if there are rules regarding the venue selected by the home team but if it is in the hands of the Dublin county board to stage the game at parnell park and they do what has that got to do with the Brennan incident which is over and done with

This is a funny one. Dublin have looked terrible in Croker and OK in the regional grounds. Donegal lost narrowly to a very good Cork team and I would be surprised if they let themselves get ambushed next week again, unless its just not in the legs. If they are tired Dublin could run them into the ground but Dublin dont have the advantage of having a lot of 2 pointer specialists. Ger will be studying the Down and Cork games I am sure.

It has been a funny year for results hasnt it? The only results I have been able to predict are the Kildare ones. We are the most consistent team in the country, and nobody can take that away from us!

Replying To peiledoir20:  "It's another sign that Dublin are in decline.

Dublin in their pomp would never have entertained Parnell Park."

Maybe you should have a KitKat? Bud.

This is all of Dublins making. Croke Park is now clearly far too big for them. Parnell Park will always be too small.

Why didn't they build a nice 25k stadium somewhere? Problem solved.

Call it the Coddle Memorial Stadium or something.
