Dublin v Cork

Will this game be the biggest fixture of the year..Will Cork want this game on there own ground..I remember 83 like it was yesterday ......

I do too - mullins - one of my fav days of all time. But not tonight!

This will be a classic..

Strange year for Dublin supporters...Jusk 2 steps away from our holy grail...

should be a sell out but there are still tickets available as far as I know.

Things are quiet right now which is great - no hype whatsoever...but there was bound to be injuries in training and sure enough Darren Magee is now out of the picture for this game

fingers crossed that the rest of the panel will be fighting fit for the 22nd

UP THE DUBS!

Yeah I heard that after I posted this... I just assumed he wasn't playing because I heard most of the first teamers aren't playing club.... don't tell me I'm wrong about that too?

I recall an iconic Banner on th hill back in the day when you could bring in a pole (not a 6 foot helga- more the wooden type)

Barney Rock strikes faster than CIE

Class through the ages

FM104 and The Evening Herald once again set the pace on the hype front. Mullins does his bit too.

Will the rabbits, better known as Dublin County panel be able to handle it all? One would hope that after the Tyrone game they might have turned the corner. But the "ride our luck" element has now evolved into real All-Ireland expectations. And thats only as a result of the Tyrone game whereas in years past, it was the Leinster championships that created the false hope. My suspicion is that the Dubs are now at the very same crossroads that they faced in 2008 vs Tyrone and 2009 vs Kerry. The hopes and expectations of a county firmly resting on their shoulders.

As bad and all as Cork are, I can't see it. Cork by thirteen plus. Either way, Kildare must be raging hot favourites to deliver a first All-Ireland in 82 years.

Yeah Loyal - Leinsters are no big swing ............ but at least we actually won all ours ....

Loyal i know its hard being a meath fan at the moment ,watching Dublin Gaa moving up the levels..but im sure if you need a bucket theres a few posters on here who could pass you 1..

Loyal is right, expectation on Dublin has gone through the roof since the Tyrone win. Where did the "anything after the quarter final is bonus territory" theory go? Cork are a huge step up from Tyrone in terms of physicality and Dublin can't rely on Cork to exhibit the poor marksmanship that haunted Tyrone throughout the Quarter Final. Cork still have not showed us their best this year and should go through to the final without much hassle.

The ABD brigade has arrived

2 people, hardly a "brigade" And I'm by no means anti-Dublin. Merely an opinion. One swallow doesn't make a summer and all that.. Nice to see you making full use of the 'embed video' function though.
