I heard a while back there was no accommodation available. Ukrainian refugees maybe?

The train would be a great way to travel down, but even if you managed to get a train after the match, you’d have to stay somewhere because the last train from Clarksville Dublin is about 8pm.

There is a train just after the match, if you could get out of the ground promptly. Of course, if you missed this then you would be kiboshed.
I live in Dublin. ten years ago I took the train and had no problem staying overnight in February, this time I may try the train after the match.
There is no suitable late train from Dublin, but there would still be a bus, or you could drive to Dublin only and take the train from there.
Perhaps they could be persuaded to run a special train? Even a train from Dundalk would mean a short drive for people. In the 80s they had special trains to Kerry when Armagh was going well.

Hopefully, the likes of Forker and Morgan will not be playing for too many more seasons.

Just off the top of my head, 14 very good forwards if all are fit, serious competition for places in that forward line and i’m probably missing someone obvious

And Joe Sheridan and Callum Cumiskey to that list

Heard the Dubs beat Armagh by two points, they played three separate games 25 mins each and both teams fielded close to full strength in the first game, Armagh were ahead at the end of this first 25 mins then both teams made changes and at the end of the match Dublin won by 2 points.

Brilliant to see Niall Grimley back after his terrible injury last season. Best of luck to him

Callum Cumiskey is an interesting addition to the panel. I thought he showed a fair amount of potential when he was in the panel a few years back. He wouldn't give me the impression that he'll be happy to be a squad player

We're in a very good position at the minute.

Donegal are a mess, tyrone not progressing, derry have little / no strength in depth (they had about 13 of the their championship side starting yesterday against fermanagh)

We are in a good position but to say the others look bad isn't accurate because we would have to say Down are looking good.

They’re probably that bit ahead of the rest fitness wise at this stage i would say. Lavery could either go really well there or being a Kilcoo man and them being despised by the rest of the county it could go tits up!

Anyway we’ll worry about ourselves- we seem to be moving in the right direction and have a great panel with plenty of options especially in the forward line and a few absolute top drawer ballers!

It would be good to see Ross McQuillan play some games - has potential but needs to show what he can do. Hopefully he can get free of injury.

Was just gonna see the same. Good to see more rotation I wonder was the squad trimmed from last week or if they let guys play sigerson

If that team plays and we use all subs like last game that will be 36 players used in 2 games, thats not including the likes of Ciaran mackin,Rowland, crealy, shields, James Morgan and then the injured lads like ohanlon and oisin O'Neill, plenty of depth and plenty of lads getting looked at.

Develop some midfielders for defence. Has Campbell been experimented with at MF before?
