Replying To TrueBlue35: "Yeah not overly encouraged tbh unless the best Maor Uisce in the game makes a return in some sort of capacity/advisrory role. Not writing off Bastick and Rock by any stretch but not sure either have much experience in a coaching capacity. Time will tell but would like an experienced head in there too!" Moyna will join Ger but he needs a hell of a lot more than those 3... Declan had his backroom team ready to go from what I was told. JC would have been excellent.

D'arcy was definitely my preferred candidate anyway but Ger has it now so will row in behind him. Will likely come out over time the apparent shafting D'arcy got.

Replying To Fionn: "Results from the weekend:- Barróg 5-24 beat CC 2-14 Lucan 2-24 beat Judes 0-15 Fianna 2-21 beat Boden 1-21 Crokes 0-25 beat Vinnies 1-14 Whitehall 2-19 beat Plunkett's 2-18 Cuala 0-22 beat Brigid's 0-21 The NF v Boden and Cuala v Brigid's were crackers of games. Boden let an early lead slip, although NF looked the stronger throughout and Brigid's very unlucky to lose to Cuala. Plunkett's put up a hell of a fight v Whitehall. Whilst Crokes and Lucan flexed their muscles." I have to say I have been very impressed with Brigid's so far. The big hitters were always going to be there or there abouts - Cuala, Crokes, Na Fianna, Lucan, Boden. But I would like to see Brigid's make the latter stages of the Dublin SHC.

Why is it "apparent" that Declan was shafted? sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 1008 - 18/08/2025 13:09:59 2632457 Link
Replying To sligo joe: "Why is it "apparent" that Declan was shafted?" I agree Joe. Was Dec shafted or did he shaft himself? I presume he on very good money with Leinster so maybe that was an issue with DCB.Dublin dont pay our managers.

The very best to Ger Brennan and his backroom team I think there's exciting times on the way for Dublin GAA, it's not going to be easy and they are back in the pack again, let's see if they can improve. First things first, Let's adapt to the new rules a lot better, let's get a bit of fire in the belly again, and let's offensively kick off the shackles a bit, the new rules are there to benefit teams wanting to score. The League will be difficult, let's try and stay up and then go fully at Leinster and hopefully get a bit of revenge against the old smelly foes.

Ah a bit rough there bud.Its good to see Meath back challenging and while Im Looking forward to playing them next year if we meet I think we will be ready for them.They might be our foes but calling them smelly is a bit rough. Half of Meath are Dubs tbh. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 307 - 18/08/2025 23:06:06 2632562 Link

There are rumours and innuendo but no one seems to know the full story" There's an article in the Mirror that says that the Leinster gig is very much a part time job and that he fits it in around the day job (building). I was under the impression it was more a full time gig but either way he'd have had to give it up... he couldn't do both jobs in tandem and I doubt it was a money issue to be honest.

2 very one sided games here in Parnell Park tonight:- Ballymun Kickhams 1-19 v Castleknock 0-11 Kilmacud Crokes 2-24 v St Judes 0-11 Stand out immense performances from James McCarthy and Paul Mannion. How the Dubs have missed both of these 2 players this year, not to mention Jack Mc & Fenton. Such a shame.... ;o( Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4632 - 22/08/2025 23:55:47 2633172 Link

Such a shame.... ;o(" You are looking through rose tinted glasses Fionn with James McCarthy.I think James was Dublins best ever but his best is long gone.Big difference between club and county.In 23 final James had probably his worst game ever for Dublin and was very lucky not to have been sent off.Last year he was very poor.Still brilliant for club but not county standard anymore .James owes Dublin nothing though. Mannion and Fenton deffo have more to offer though and still good enough for county. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 307 - 23/08/2025 12:09:00 2633197 Link

Bertie is well liked north and south, he'd be a good man to have in there if the border poll is called. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3435 - 25/08/2025 22:33:56 2633587 Link
