Dublin are a hard watch at times. Set plays after the buzzer sums them up Kew (Galway) - Posts: 223 - 28/06/2025 19:07:32 2621823 Link
A terrible performance from Dublin, they could have won that game but poor shooting and awful decision making by some experienced players. Donegalabroad (Donegal) - Posts: 12 - 28/06/2025 20:02:59 2621835 Link
Congrats to Tyrone. The better team won. Dublin have not yet learned to adapt to the new rules. The failure of our forwards to take on two pointers is shocking. OUr bench is very poor by comparison. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1999 - 28/06/2025 20:06:52 2621838 Link
Mickey Harte for Dublin. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2364 - 28/06/2025 20:38:53 2621849 Link
Awful, had enough ball to win that. We're way off the 'new' game. Time for a fresh start. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8808 - 28/06/2025 20:39:05 2621850 Link
Commiseration today and the best of luck to Dessie in the future. Dessie took on the unenviable task of managing the Dubs after the golden years. Dessie managed to lead his beloved Dubs to two All Irelands aswell as success as under 21 and minor manager. A great player and a great manager but most of all a man that was gracious in victory and always a gentleman in defeat. Enjoy your break Dessie.

He should go down as a great manager. Sadly time is the killer. TalkToFahy (Tyrone) - Posts: 46 - 28/06/2025 20:50:26 2621857 Link

That was a very classy statement by Dessie. Best of luck to him in the future. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 543 - 28/06/2025 21:05:54 2621863 Link

Replying To tireoghainabu: "I hope the thought of meeting Tyrone again doesn't keep you awake at night." Tyrone don't worry me as mush as Armagh/ Kerry or Galway. If we meet in the semi final I would fancy our chances as long as we don't concede soft goals like we did against Tyrone in Ballybofey.

Tyrone came out on top but there was nothing between the two teams. Dublin missed more and Tyrone did what they did to Kerry in the 08 final in the last 5 minutes, they hit a 5 minute purple patch. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2364 - 28/06/2025 22:05:21 2621892 Link
Replying To Donegalabroad: "A terrible performance from Dublin, they could have won that game but poor shooting and awful decision making by some experienced players." Nail on the head right there. Very sloppy and some silly turnovers, and crazy shot selection at times. We panicked near the end when we went 3 behind. It felt like we could have played until midnight, and not get to score a 2 pointer. We clearly did not adapt to the new rules this year, unlike many of the other teams. It looked like we have not been coached or trained for 2 pointers. It was glaring. Tyrone got 6 of them. I dont think we got any 2 pointers today. One for the statisticians out there, Dublin much be one of the lowest 2 point scorers in the Championship this year. We have definitely scored very few. That game was there for the taking - a fit Con and we would have won it imo. But taking absolutely nothing from Tyrone. Well done to them.

Replying To realdub: "Looks like Dessie has stepped down." Yes, Dessie is gone. Great servant to Dublin GAA. Won 2 All Ireland's as a manager inc the one during Covid. IMO he actually under achieved with the players we had, but that is for another day. But he did win perhaps the sweetest of the all in 2023. A gentleman and humble in both victory and defeat. Thanks Dessie. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4377 - 28/06/2025 22:30:00 2621908 Link
Well Jackeens, that was a game we could easily have won. There was nothing in it going into the last 5 or so minutes. WTF is going on with our lack of 2 pointers.... it was our Achilles heel today for sure. A few things stood out today: - No CON - we are pretty toothless in attack - 2 pointers or lack thereof - clearly unprepared for the new rules. - I really never want to hear anyone ever say the SB is our main player. As I said umpteen times before, he is clearly not. Nothing against the man. - Brian Howard is so under rated. A gem of a player. - I felt, like many others beside me on a rain soaked Hill 16, that as soon as Niall Scully went off injured after the collision, we were not the same team. - Too many missed goal chances. - Bad and panicked shot selection at times. - Last time we will ever see Stephen Cluxton play for the Dubs. At least he got to score one last point into the Hill today. - Roll on 2026 - new coach, new ideas. Less of course 2 or 3 more players. - I actually think 1 or 2 of the players missing this year, will be back next year..... Ssshhhh...! Rumour has it...!

End of an era.Time finally caught up with some of our Legends. Clucko s kickouts were poor today and he cost us a point in first half by not catching the ball. Killkenny s legs ran out of road . No blame lads yous have done enough.Best of luck to Dessie too. We will be back .Tyrone were prob better team but ref did nt help. brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 185 - 28/06/2025 22:51:23 2621912 Link
Needed a Chris Crummy tgere today. Give them a reason to lie down. Anyway. Don't have to watch any more football so not complete loss. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3675 - 28/06/2025 22:53:13 2621913 Link
Replying To realdub: "Awful, had enough ball to win that. We're way off the 'new' game. Time for a fresh start." Ok last post of tonight.... I know, I and others have suggested Ger Brennan as the next coach of the Dubs, but the more I think of it now, I am not so sure anymore. I think it might be too big of a task for him. Nothing against his achievements with Louth, but in reality, Meath are a better team than Louth, and blew that Leinster final, imo. If I had to choose Ger or Robbie - I would go for Robbie B. But he wont be leaving Meath. So, the big question is, who do we go for next...???? I am gonna throw a real curve ball in here and suggest Austin O'Malley, ex Cuala. Although if I am in Mayo CB, I would be jumping in there first to get him. Interesting few months ahead for the Dublin County Board. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4377 - 28/06/2025 22:54:42 2621916 Link
