Yes i was, that's the point. You learn nothing from a win like that when half you're team don't need to get out of bed.

Ryaner was the only Dublin player winning ball in midfield for a long time in the first half. I don't see how he needs to drop weight, was powerful and fast yesterday.

Would rather see Cullen at centre-back and Moran had a very quiet day, aside from that legendary monster of a point.

O'Shaughnessy looks useful but still needs to hone his game.

Lads,
Nicely hotting up now but there should be only one winner of Leinster and that should be Laois!! Cafferty did a good job with dublin as there is no different players fron last year and i think they beat meath but Laois will win it
:cool:

Streakers are a regular feature of any Dubs game. I remember we played Wexford in Carlow (the same days as Cameroon - Ireland) and there must have been more than a dozen in one half. Carlow garda station must have been like a nudist colony that night ! :D

I know its only Longford but I thought the most positive aspect of was that the point kicking seemed to be much improved, and this has always been our downfall over the last few year. Brian Cullen is a class act. He was probably our best player throughout the league, I think I'd be more confident with him at centre back because he's a leader. Otherwise I would mostly agree with the team selection, but I dont understand why Coly Moran is in the team ahead of Senan Connell. Glad to see Paddy Christy has been made captain, Whelo was never suited to this role. Good to see Coman Goggins back but Peader Andrews should also be accomodated, I think he's more solid than Casey.

I'm not an oul fella but I know that the hill was not as good as it has been. It was a bit dead for periods but I'd say with the Meath game it will be buzzin. The problem with the new set up is that many of the regulars who made all the noise used to go to the same area in the top left corner (as facing the hill) but were broken up yesterday because of the segregation of the terrace. It was only Longford though, bring on the Royals....

Its nice to start off with a win but longford were very disappointing. The view from the hill is much better now. Certainly the start of june will be busy for us sports fans Ireland v Israel & the dubs v meath on the same weekend and then were off to the faroes and u never know the dubs v meath could go to a replay :)
