Replying To BarneyGrant:  "I somewhat clumsily said to Offaly chap in Tullamore who would know his onions that they were probably safe from relegation.

His response would indicate that Dublin won't be the only team to get a "shock" and that survival is not their goal at all. What was a four horse race is now much more open and Dublin still in mix but need to win next two to have any chance.

Badly need to get defence sorted and accept that a sweeper is required, Man on man is suicidal at this stage. Badly badly caught for pace if they don't win primary possession which in fairness they did well enough to get out of jail but another day like that and we are dead meat."
