It hardly would when Wembley isn't the stadium the play their home games in.
Good to see you understand Croke Park is our national stadium as well, because from my experience a lot of the Dublin scumbags that frequent Hill 16 don't see it that way. At a double header years ago 10 or 15 of us were unfortunate enough to have ended up in the Hill. Galway were playing first, Dublin were up 2nd, when the Hill started filling up in the 2nd half of the Galway match we were pelted with empty cans, jostled from behind, caps were taken from our heads and fecked half way across the Hill, culchie bastards this and rednecks that and that was all in between a few thousand of them pointing over at us and singing Get the feck off the Hill. That sort of shit isn't what the GAA is about at all. Funnily enough when the Dublin match was on all we could hear was shit like ''ah for feck sake whats number 14 at'' ''take off that number 12 he can't kick for shit'' the cnuts didn't even know the names of their own players.
I'm not saying all Dublin GAA supporters are like that, I know there are genuine supporters that follow the Dublin club championship as well as the county team but Dublin do have a scumbag element in their support that no other county in the country has. The lets buy a load of dutch gold, head to Croker and sing c'mon you boys in blue for the day crowd.

I''d say he would've made an alright corner back in hurling too!

Love the Dubs V Culchies debate. Heard it on my first trip to Croke Park sounds the same today as it did then.
In the same sense I think Im still allowed slag Navan and not offend anyone right?

Navan is always......ALWAYS fair game.
Navan is Navan backwards
Yep. It sure is.
Navan is fair game.
Hill 16 is a very dear thing to Dublin fans, they shouldn' give tickets to anybody else when Dublin are playing, it's just tradition.

Your after reminding me of the time the Dublin players led by Caffery marched down to the Mayo lads who were warming up in front of the Hill, they looked like a right bunch of feckin' clowns and then Caffery (a gaurd) with a hardly surprising dirty dig from behind!
Emmm.... you seem to be forgetting that before Ferguson arrived we went a hell of a long time without the league.
Well, that is hard a non biased tournament then is it?
The word "Culchie" just proves that most people living in Dublin are lodged right up their own arse.
That's what I said though?
ffsThat was a great day, probably the best game I was ever at. Serious session afterwards.
I'm with Lynk, it's ridiculous that Dublin play all of their games in Croke Park. Home advantage for every game (and it is home advantage, don't give me any of that Parnell Park nonsense) means that everything is massively geared in their favour. I can understand it for the All Ireland series, but they should be forced to travel more often for Leinster championship games in the same manner as everyone else does.
It's not just a matter of fairness either - imagine the boost for Navan if the Leinster final was there this year? It would be great for provincial towns.
And Dublin are very Liverpool-esque too. The fact that Dubs can't see it almost reinforces the point.
Give me a example or two of this abuse the Dubs get and name a few of these journo's that love slagging them off too?
Good man Jake, I suppose after having the whole of the Hill to yourselves (14/15000 supporters) you'd still want the tickets divided out evenly in the Cusack and Hogan stands and Canal end too!

Chuffed with that draw. A spot in the final seems very realistic for the Dubs. Arguably the four best teams are on the other side of the draw.
The Dubs under Caffrey were probably the most hated, overhyped, underachieving, scoreboard-pointing bunch of wankers ever to set foot on a pitch.
The last two least odious Dublin teams were 1995 & 2012....and Dublin won those years.
Pillar Caffrey - though I heard great things about the work he does in Sherriff Street - was a fecking wanker as Dublin manager, no two ways about it. His own antics and that of his team, were ironically enough "way beyond the pale".
Dublin should have too much for Laois but this Laois team is made up of sterner stuff than previous years. Certainly, they won't lack in the physical stakes which has been an issue over the past few championship campaigns.
We owe Dublin for 2005 when shocking referee calls, umpire decisions, Senan Connell diving all led to an engineered victory in a game Laois should have won.
Cork and Kildare, Donegal v Kerry could be classics. Down could catch Mayo cold.
I would have gotten all 4 qualifiers right yesterday. Sligo/Kildare I felt was hard to call, but would have gone for the Lillies. Cork & Kilkenny should win today.

Looks like the ref might ref Kilkenny properly and not let them away with their usual football tackles and dirty strokes.
Well that's the semi finals of the hurling sorted out.
Galway v Cork
Kilkenny v Tipperary
Hard to call either of them. I've a feeling the Galway forwards will be too much for Cork though especially if Canning is on form and Tipp won't be as sloppy at the back as Limerick were today gifting Kilkenny a few goals, Tipp will have more gas in the tank too, Limerick were legless after the first half.
I'm going to go for a Galway v Tipperary final and me drinking out of the McCarthy cup the following monday night!

Yeah, to be honest there was nothing to scare either provincial champion there today. The worry for them is that they have been idle for 4/5 weeks and could be caught cold.
Before today, I thought that KK/Tipp would be harder to call, but as it is, they are both very difficult.

Where the feck is the Sunday game?

10:35pm, Michael Lyster got held up in traffic on the way back from Thurlas.
Thats ok. Thought it wasnt on!
Depending on what time the Adam Nolan fight is finished at it might be a few minutes after 10:35 too.
Jesus, Spillane is some dickhead. Sitting there quoting the bible at that Derry nonce. Brolly should have been given time to speak, but Lyster kept reverting to Spillane who was spouting nonsense. Have to find a clip somewhere.
This is it:
Spillane is a dipstick. I am no fan of Brolly, but Spillane had nothing to add to it except to sit and snigger. What's wrong with a debate, even if Brolly was completely wrong (and I do think his point may have some merit).

He's like listening to Whelan or Houghton commentating on Liverpool.
yes. Even if Brolly was wrong, he is trying to back it up whereas Statler & Waldorf just sniggering and passing comments. It was like they was saying, "How dare you suggest that about Kerry football?".
Anyway, we might well see his point at the weekend. I hope Donegal snuff out Kerry by a point and shove it up Spillane's arse....if there's room there alongside Lyster's nose.
Yeah, hope Donegal win and Gooch plays shite. And I honestly think Donegal can, and will, beat Kerry.
Spillane is a dick, but playing his role; Lyster should be ashamed of himself.
This is what Brolly said;
"An American tourist would never have believed it if you’d told him The Gooch was one of the greats. If however you’d told him he was a choker, he would have agreed, since that is what Colm did against Cross."
Desperate performance from both Spillane and Lyster. Zero interest in what Brolly had to say and to be fair, any reaction I've seen to the show has been the same schoolboy sniggering at a perceived attempt by Brolly to squirm out of his outlandish remarks, when it was obviously nothing of the sort. It's not an unreasonable point, whichever side of the fence you're on. It can be hard to get away from parochialism and have informed debate in GAA circles, it seems to me.

Brollys a twat, Spillanes nearly a bigger twat and Lyster is king of the twats.
I don't care. The GAA is dead to me for another year anyway. Roll on real football...
