Rumours that some big names going to be axed over the next 48 hours.. possible players axed Cullen Mcgee-And Brogan fighting for his place...

Cullen and Magee aren't really that much of a surprise as they haven't featured much this year, but I'd be amazed if Alan Brogan didn't make the panel.
Hopefully Giller can take off his blue and white tinted glasses and get rid of Brennan - last year showed he is more of a liability than an asset.

I presume this is Alan - not Bernard... or Paul. I have always reckoned that Alan woulld be a much better player with a little more coaching. He needs someone to drum it into him to play with his head up. He has loads of ability, pace and can take a score. Where he falls down is his awareness of whats going on around him. But this can be addressed. Maybe we could implant Jayo's brain in Alan's head!!

Its called back to basics...Maybe sitting the squad down to watch the 92 final might help till i get a fax machine..

I was at the Mayo Dublin challenge this evening. Both teams had a lot of players playing that will feature during the championship so it was a good experience for both teams.I was fairly impressed with wing forward Niall Corkery..thought he played very well!

Ara Mullins why didn't ya say you were going-I was there too!

It was a good win for Mayo, but the most important thing we'll take from this challenge is the experience O'Mahony gave some of the younger Mayo players. I thought Freeman was superb, especially in the opening quarter. Mortimer's accuracy with points was heartening too, as was the reappearance of Billy Joe. He played well, but was substituted later on by Ronaldson. Dublin missed a good few early chances, whilst Mayo took their chances. Andy Moran played brilliantly. I noticed that Dublin had nearly a full team out, about 11 or 12 of their first team.

I have to say, the crowd that was there was fantastic! Normally for Hollymount matches, there'd be decent crowds, but it was a change from the ordinary having several thousand there. I even saw John Maughan in the crowds! It was a great day out-and walking back after the game, who passed me in a bus-the Dublin squad!

Mayo i'd bate no one.....Goes to show where Dublin are at.. .....Chasers at best......

Leitrim for Connaught, Dubs for the "chape" breaks..

Minor footballers draw in dramatic quarter-final

DUBLIN 1-13 KILDARE 0-16
(After extra-time)

Three Harry Dawson points in extra-time saw the Dubs earn a deserved replay in this pulsating Leinster MFC quarter-final at Newbridge on Saturday afternoon.
His heroics were not confined to extra-time as he played a key role in the final minutes of normal time when Dublin looked doomed.
Dublin forced extra-time after trailing by five points as the game ticked into the final minute of normal time, 0-13 to 0-8, when Dawson finished to the net in the 60th minute following great interplay in the forward line.
Two minutes into injury time Ferghal Duffy converted a free and in the fourth minute of added time Seán Stewart stroke over an excellent equalising point from 35 metres.
In extra-time Kildare started much the better and points from Fergal Conway, Fionn Dowling and Pádraig Fogarty put them into a 0-16 to 1-10 lead by the sixth minute of the first period of extra-time (ten minutes a half).
But Dublin showed terrific courage to mount the second comeback with Dawson illustrating great long-range accuracy to keep the Dubs in the Championship.
In normal time Dublin started well but failed to translate good scoring opportunities into scores and with wind advantage should have led by more than 0-6 to 0-4 at half-time.
Seventeen minutes into the second half the game looked to be turned against the Dubs when Stewart cracked a shot off the crossbar from close range and Kildare broke forward and would have goaled themselves but for a superb save from keeper Colin Murphy.
But Kildare did score the next four points of the game as they upped their game and capitalised on a series of unforced errors by Dublin.
However, the Dubs refused to buckle and threw caution to the wind in the final minutes of normal time to earn extra-time.

SCORERS - Dublin: H Dawson 1-7, F Duffy 0-3 (0-1f), A Caffrey 0-2 (0-1f), S Stewart 0-1. Kildare: P Fogarty 0-4, L McGovern (0-3f), F Dowling 0-3 each, P Cocoman 0-2, P Cribben, F Conway, N Kelly 0-1 each.

Adam Caffrey in there ... son of Pillar!

DUBLIN 5-13 WESTMEATH 1-19
Dublin under-21 All-Ireland winner Dean Rock was top-scorer as the senior footballers defeated Westmeath in a challenge at DCU on Saturday.
Three first half goals gave the Dubs a 3-6 to 0-8 interval lead as they capitalised on some poor Westmeath defending.
Paddy Andrews impressed at full-forward, scoring 1-4 while Alan Brogan scored an early goal before being subbed.
SCORERS – Dublin: D Rock 1-5 (0-3f), P Andrews 1-4, A Brogan, B McManamon 1-1,. D Watson 1-0, D Kelly, L Og O hEineachain 0-1 each. Westmeath: D Glennon 0-7 (0-6f), C Lynam 1-2, D Dolan 0-4, I Coffey 0-2 (0-1f, 0-1 45), F Boyle, P Gilsenan, G Egan, M Ennis 0-1 each.
