Replying To Fionn:  "Great to see Evan, Eoghan, the Small brothers, Scully, Luke, and above all LEE, all listed on the subs bench.

Murch and Con are injured."
Cian Murphy out also.

Replying To TrueBlue35:  "Might make an appearance you wouldn't know. Bugler wasn't name in the squad for the last game and ended up starting.

I assume Con does need more recovery time though."
True enough.Naming teams and panels dont mean anything anymore really cos theres always changes.Win this game and we will top group but its a free shot really. Im not too confident on this one but its does nt really matter in the long run once we qualify.

Armagh could give the dubs a bit of a tanking today.

The Dubs are kicking themselves out of the game. 60 minutes gone and they could have brought it to 2 about 10 mins ago. Not sure what to make of Armagh to be honest.

First match in Croke Park this year. Seemed to choke on big day.

Wow, we don't know how to play the new rules do we? As ridiculous as they are.
Shooting boots on we could have won.
Armagh far more composed and well worth their win.
But there's enough to work on there, big time!!

Nothing to do with the new rules Realdub.. you just don't have very good forwards.. the amount of wides from straight in front of the goals was ridiculous.. new rules had nothing to do with that.. Armagh had just 1 wide from similar positions.. Dublin started taking on those ridiculous 2 pointers and it cost them dearly… If that rule didn't exist ( and I hate it ) Dublin might have won… All down to the Derry game now

Was like we were playing for 1st time under new rules. 3 points handed to Armagh for the 3 back rule and a 37% return rate on scoring attempts! Dublin should have won that game comfortably

As you say lots to work on and if they can correct them, and with Con back, all is not lost!

I know we're not as good up front anymore, especially without O'Callaghan.
But we handed the ball to them on 3 occasions for a handy score.
That should not be happening.
I'm not saying it's the reason we lost, Armagh deserved it for being more ruthless.

Gosh, that was not good.

The wides. The 3-up errors. The bad decision-making up front. The inconsistency of pressure at the back. I mean, it's June now, they should be hitting stride, not looking rusty and uncertain in the gameplan. So many errors. The only positives are that there were so many errors. If they can put a few of them right they'll get past Derry.

But the quality of shooting was the poorest I've seen for a long time at this stage of the season. It's not as though they're all unseasoned rookies. Let an OK Armagh off the hook.

Went 6 to 3 up with some great point taking and playing with great intensity and ok had missed a couple but from there on it it was disastrous. Costello despite everything he did right was also guilty of some terrible shooting, need Con back big time.

Unlucky today. I thought both teams were poor, we could have had a couple of goals and you missed some really straight forward points. Some of the hail mary 2 pointer attempts in the 2nd half were very poor, a little composure and work the ball in closer for points and you probably would have won.
Still think you'll be a massive threat with Con back - good luck for rest of year. Always a pleasure and great occasion to play against yourselves in HQ no matter the result.

Yeh ye are way better than that I would agree.
You're through now and it'll be a good team that beats ye.

That was dreadful. Bad kicking turned a comfortable win into defeat.

We should just withdraw from competitions.

Good result for us to top the group with a game to spare.
Didnt think it was a great game, we just had the much better finishers. Saying that we need to start finishing goal chances, 2 very easy ones missed that let Dublin off the hook in the first half.
Was shocked by Dublins poor finishing and poor turn out from your fans. Bar the hill you's didnt seem to have many in there.
