Replying To systematic: "No, I'm referring to the incident on McGonagle. In real time it never looks like a red card. The two of them are shouldering each other for God's sake and Clifford's shoulder rises up as he's pushing him away. Not a red card." He struck him with his elbow. They were jostling before that, but he raised his elbow and hit McGonagle with it. An elbow doesn't hit someone in the chin when hitting someone a shoulder. It wasn't the worst belt at all, but a very silly thing to do and if seen properly would have likely been a red card.

Dubs squad named for the repeat clash with Louth:-
Comerford
McEneaney Doran Byrne
McMahon McMorrow Kennedy
Kilkenny Howard
Bugler CON Scully
Small McGinnis Costello
subs:
O'Sullivan, Lahiff, Smith, GANNON, Murphy, Guiden, Dunne. White, N O'Callaghan, Breathnach, Deering.
Brilliant to see both Con and Lee return from injury.
But still missing a few through injuries.
Collie, Ross, Murch, Lorcan, Alex, and now we have POCB and Theo out….!
Our midfield yet again will be our Achilles, I fear.
Hopefully we get the win.

Replying To Fionn: "A bit mad alright but if you look at what is happening across the water, it is more than likely that our Gov will follow suit... :o(
Defo time for Mattie to get our Hurlers to the next level.
We are very predictable as you say, but we have some very skilled hurlers in our panel, and coming through from our U21 teams. A few tweaks here and there might work wonders.
Following our hurlers can be so frustrating - very seldom keep the momentum of a good performance with consecutive wins.
I actually think quite a bit of it is in the heads of the players when playing against a Top 4 team, in a match of substance. Our big victories are not frequent enough. Hopefully this changes sooner rather than later." Still look a little ordinary midfield and in the backs but the forward line looks great.Great boost to have Con back and Lee on subs.We shoild get over Louth and if we can get another 2 or 3 of the boys back Dubs can be a match for anyone.I know all counties have injuries but ourselves and Kerry seem to be suffering more than most.We def need POCB back for a quarter final.

Massive to see Con and Lee back involved. The latter I feel has soooo much more to give the Dubs and if can stay fit he will be such a great addition to the panel.
Still quite a long injury list all the same. No word on what is up with the 3 Boden lads? Murchan I have heard is gone for the year unfortunately and has Lorcan not left the panel?
POCB will be a big miss in the middle of the park. I would not be surprised to see Hugh O'S start in goals either. Didn't think he did much wrong in his league outings in fact so surprised he didn't hold onto the no.1 spot.

Although the last thing I want is kerry/Dublin to go on a run

O Sullivan is a good keeper but in Comerfords defense against Westmeath the backs were nt giving him.much of an option for short kickouts.

I like Evan but the backs were not at fault for that goal, and as for the kick outs…. There were plenty of times he actually didn't see the runs that were being made for the ball to be kicked into space.
Just one of those games for him unfortunately

We have been riddled with injuries and players opting out of the panel in the last few years.
Deano has to have a plan for kick outs this week.
If not, we might as well just throw our hat at it.
