Guys I know we haven't played in Newbridge all that often over the years and last time in 2014 I got a lift, driving this time so wondering if anyone whose been there before could advise where would be best to aim for as regards parking spots around the town. I assume they'll be a decent crowd at it so I plan to be there around 12:30. Suggest to the other half that she spend the afternoon in Kildare Village and you can be dropped off and collected in Newbridge. Same! |

PAUL KEANE
Dublin manager Dessie Farrell has confirmed he will cut back his O'Byrne Cup winning panel for Saturday's Allianz League opener against Armagh.
Farrell handed game time to 40 different players throughout the Dubs' four-game campaign, Castleknock's Robert Shaw the latest debutant in last weekend's final defeat of Laois.
With established stars Jonny Cooper, Evan Comerford, Michael Fitzsimons, Con O'Callaghan, Dean Rock and Robbie McDaid yet to feature in 2022, Farrell could end up using close to 50 players in January alone.
The 2020 All-Ireland winning manager said he expects to begin the league with a trimmed down panel of around 38, meaning a chunk of his O'Byrne Cup winners will be released.
"I'd imagine the figure will be around 36-38 players," said Farrell who finally handed a senior debut to Ciaran Archer, a prolific scorer at U20 level in 2019 and 2020, against Longford this month. "He got injured that day unfortunately, he missed out on his Sigerson game then so we're just monitoring how Ciaran's injury is coming on."
Defender Lee Gannon, an All-Ireland U20 finalist in 2020 like Archer, played in all four of Dublin's O'Byrne Cup games, starting three and contributing 0-3 and looks certain to be retained.
Ballymun's Cameron McCormack, who started against Laois and Louth, has emerged as a midfield option while Ross McGarry, another former U-20 attacker, kicked 0-5 in the pre-season competition.
"I'd imagine that anyone who is going to be in the mix has been identified at this stage," said Farrell, who will come up against former Na Fianna playing colleague Kieran McGeeney on Saturday evening.
"Armagh were very impressive last season, probably unlucky not to go further in the Championship. They'll be relishing the opportunity to play in Division 1. They're well set up, well organised, very fit, physical and have a good style of football about them."
A Dublin captain has yet to be announced with Ciaran Kilkenny and Brian Fenton sharing the duties in the O'Byrne Cup. Cooper and James McCarthy captained Dublin in 2021.

A very enjoyable encounter there at HQ. The result sets it up very nicely now for next weekend in Tralee. You'd be expecting the Dubs to bring a bit of a back lash. Armagh have unearthed some exceptionally tidy, confident footballers, not a bit shy of putting leather on the ball and splitting the posts from all sorts of angles. Great to see that type of football on display.
Dublin look robotic to be honest. I suppose one could say they've been robotic in their 'sticking to the process' the last decade but they don't seem to have the end product these days now. Early days of course.

Delighted that Dublin lost, not out of any any bitterness but because if there was any belief about whether Dublin would be playing their cards close next Saturday night that will be blown away. They will be 100% out for a response and a result. No shadow boxing.
If we win next Saturday Dublin will have lost their last 3 matches in league and championship. That hasn't happened in a while.

I said this earlier on this thread.
All is not well in that Dublin camp.
Have you ever seen Fenton as bad ?
No doubt they'll be a reaction next week but that aura is gone.

Armagh look to be a serious side this year. For the last 2/3 years they’ve been excellent in attack but weak at the back conceding a lot of goals. Based on tonight they’ve really improved at the back, they were organised and aggressive. I think they’re in for a big year, it’s early in the year but I see them being right in the mix to win Ulster.
Rian O’Neill is a sensational footballer. Has it all, ball winning, exceptional vision and an unreal kicker. For me he’s one of the top 3 footballers in the country along with Clifford and Kilkenny.
Dublin looked just like they did through all of 2021 which is not a good thing from their point of view. Some strange calls from Farrell yet again in a league game starting Emmet O’Conghaile age 28 and Ryan Basquel age 29.

If kerry played like that I would be worried, fairly porous in defence Armagh couldve had a couple more goals. They are still very reliant on the more established players.
Armagh played the perfect game really everything went right for them fantastic effort by them !

I agree although I still think Farrell is a poor selector. There’s no excuses for picking those players at this stage of their career. At the same time there isn’t anyone that looks like they’ll be able to come in. Peadar O’Cofaigh Byrne maybe when he’s not injured but don’t think they’ve much else. |

That is a shame about Stefan. I hope we are not going to be cursing our luck about injuries as the year progresses. David Moran, Joseph O’Connor and now Stefan all seem to have sustained serious injuries.

Everything has to be caveated with the fact its January and all that …. Dubs wont be overly concerned. But can we spare a thread for the football Armagh played, and Rian O’Neill!
They were brave, they trusted their skills and rode out a few edgy moments in the 2nd half.
Hats off!

dublin will be coming to Tralee next Saturday to burst us up, they'll be bringing their big guns (no young lads) Armagh put us in the crap by bating the dubs tonight but it'll make next weeks game even more interesting if Kildare manage to beat us tomorrow.
We better have a big crowd in Austin Stack Park to drive the team on.
Well done to Armagh, Rian O'Neill is a monster.
Every game in div1 this year looks hard.

My first day stewarding in Croke Park since last years Semi. Still not back to my normal post but near enough.
My observations, for what it's worth:
Dessie Farrell on the line is a polar opposite of Jim Gavin, I never once heard Gavin shout at a player never mind swear.
I also never saw players shouting back and arguing with Jim.
Plenty of new young players with the Dublin squad, they seem a lot lighter than previous incarnations.
My biggest take away from this evening was our own Kieran Donaghy with Armagh, it doesn't sit well with me. surely he has something to offer within a Kerry set up. He is a giant , a leader of men and I would love to see him on a Kerry sideline.

There was a curious moment in tonight's game.
The Armagh keeper was about to take a kickout. The ref was in the middle of the pitch. He saw an Armagh man being fouled...probably jersey pulling.
The ref blew the whistle and awarded a free even though the kickout hadnt been taken.
A free was awarded to Armagh from the middle of the pitch.
Was that a correct decision by the ref. The ball wasnt in play when the foul was committed.

My guess is that Kieran is building up experience for 'the real jig' as Jacko'c put it while trying to avoid us though the plan may fall down there if Armagh continue on that trajectory. Geezer was stuck in gear until KD appeared, he could only get teams so far, KD may be needed sooner rather than later if yesterday is anything to go by. |

The league looks like shaping up to be a good one I don't think there are any easy touches like in other years. All the games next weekend are interesting kerry dublin is always hotly contested and this year the stakes are higher.
Another loss for dublin would be terrible for farrell and the noise is pretty strong up here already. The lack of faith in him and dublin this year Is clearly evident in the small crowd that turned up last Saturday 22k is quite poor for them especially as there seemed to be a good few armagh people there.
Armagh Tyrone Sunday should be good aswell be some fill up for them to beat dublin and ai champs in 1 week. Monaghan and mayo will be a battle id say with goalkeepers featuring prominently. Can kildare back up Sunday away to Donegal we will see.
