    The phantom whistler :rofl

    Fair play to Gilroy, I was on the Hill today and he was still getting dog's abuse of plenty of gobshites in the crowd but if we go all the way to the Sam who gives a **** about whether we do it playing 'puke' football?

    Comparing the Dubs winning to an England world cup win is a low blow. Typical 31 county begrudery.

    To be fair Ye have done well this year.I certainly didnt think yed be in the semi finals.
    The winner will probably come from that side of the draw. I see were 5/4 now for the all-Ireland. Thats a ridicolous price the way were playing. I can see Roscommon giving us a scare tomorrow. Hopefully we get past them though. Cork people dont really follow football but Dublin in Croker....It will be rocking :happy

    Tommy thats a bit harsh mate linking the Dubs with England is uncalled for. I was on the Hill as well yeah some of the fans have been a bit hit and miss I just hope that I get my hands on a semi final ticket. All these Johnny come lately fans will be back with a vengence at the semi final. When was the last time Cork brought Sam to be Leeside? Your lot are now the favourites to lift Sam but can you do it is the big question.
    To be honest after that match the Dubs will fear nobody. I hope Meath get beaten tomorrow aswell.

    Its true though. If ye manage to win it the media will ram it down our throats. Thats the sickening bit.
    Being honest, as ive been saying all along I dont think were the best team in the country but I think we could win it.5/4 is way too short a price though.Counihan doesnt have a clue what hes doing though.Ciaran Sheehan hasnt been working out all year but he wont drop him.
    Im expecting a close game tomorrow. Roscommon plus 9 points looks a great bet to me.
    We aint won it since 1990 when we done the double. Think weve lost 4 finals since then

    Well I done the Dubs at the start of the championship got 10/1 for them to win the championship only 2 games away from doing it. A great league showing this year has been of great benefit to the Dubs. Winning in Kerry was a highlight. So if the Dubs do go on to win and bring Sam home Mr Paddy Power will own me 110 euro.
    Our younger players are growing with every game they play together. The backline minus Griffin I thought we would be ****ed but the young lads have done great after a rocky start. McAuley in midfield if he doesnt get a All Star I will be pissed off big time he is what we have been missing for years. That bloke will be a mainstay in the midfield for years to come. Like that new look defence things can only get better. No matter what happens Gilroy has won over the fans and doubters and should hold onto his job no matter what happens next. I cant beleive the Flag is still up and we are heading into August I cant remember the last time it was up in August.

    Oh I have done Diaz to win tonight by TKO or KO got 8/1 on it so if it comes in happy days. Feel the Money fight may have taken a lot more out of Marquez than the Paulie fight took out of Diaz. Cant wait for this fight not too long now put on a pot of coffee to keep me awake in a while.

    LOL the comparison is aimed at the way the media will shove it down our throats like the red top papers would in England. If ye win it I wont be able to show my face on the thread lol

    I know its easy to say in hindsight but if matchroom had abandoned the euro route and splashed to get casamayor over to Belfast for mccloskey it would have been a good name on his record. hes nothing like he used to be
