Gavin: Dublin discipline can pass Farney test

As Monaghan crank up the pressure cooker a notch, it might just turn out to be that it’s 13th time unlucky for Dublin tomorrow evening.

But when all is said and done 12 league and championship games is a remarkable run without a black card.

Jim Gavin is slightly reluctant to take too much pride in that record, perhaps realistic enough to know all things come to an end. But he would much prefer to have it than not have it.
