Replying To TheFlaker: "Again I was talking about 2016 and was for a few posts. Not deluded at all, look up my posts after the All Ireland and after most Mayo games, no delusion here, we haven't been good enough to get over the line. So go argue with someone else if you think I am blinded by loyalty to Mayo. Bit of an insult to most balanced Mayo supporters. If you want to talk about delusion then look no further than some of the Dubs when speaking about Connolly. They hail him as one of the all time greats." I have to pull you up on that! Connolly will be remembered as an all time great. He is a truly wonderful player. Why do you think manager, players and commentators with loyalty elsewhere target him?

Class act with so many gifts but I am still struggling to remember his big performances on the biggest days. And his frustrations often get the better of him. Not going to get into a debate on players but if I had to pick any 6 forwards in the last 20 years he wouldn't make my team. Just my opinion. Bernard B would.

Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "I can't wait to play Kerry again this summer and send ye back down the M7 choking on bitter tears of despair and disbelief AGAIN. really surprised and disappointed at one or two Kerry comments on here, not so surprised at others tho. Ye really REALLY hate us!!!! However will we cope...... COYBIB" Lie down there Liam before you burst a blood vessel. ;D We will be ready and waiting for ye don't you worry about that. Looking forward to sending ye Jacks back to the terraces of Tolka Park. AN RIOCHT ABU TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 29/06/2017 22:02:48 2007719 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "What about Connolly taking mchugh to ground in last years quarterfinal against Donegal Jim? And we don't appeal our black cards unlike yer selves. We take our punishments." Why does that fella Jim need to reply with 3 posts everytime Kingdomboy?? Do you get a free lollipop of you reach 5000 posts or something?? :D TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 29/06/2017 22:05:53 2007720 Link

Diarmuid was excellent in the the 2011 final, his ball retention at peak times was incredible, man of the match in the famous 2013 semi V Kerry, and got hugely important scores in the semi V Kerry last year. He practically won an AI club final by himself, not bad! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 29/06/2017 22:06:03 2007722 Link

Replying To Iamlegion666: "No, he'll continue to break rules and Dublin people will continue to act like its everyone else's fault." Maybe just maybe you should concentrate on your own counties problems ?? You seam to have a huge interest in anything Dubin related, sad really . superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 29/06/2017 22:26:20 2007733 Link

Scoreless and quiet enough if I remember? 2013 semi in patches. 2013 final quiet. 2015 final quiet. 2016 final quiet twice. I have seen him do very little against Mayo now on multiple occasions on the biggest day. Again not doubting his class but the Dubs seem to hold him above other players who have offered far more on the biggest day. Ciaran McDonald won a club All Ireland on his own too by the way, it has been done. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7900 - 29/06/2017 23:08:20 2007751 Link

Truth is, come summer , come do or die, we are too good for ye. Ye are just not up to our level. That's just how it is buddy.

We're on opposite sides of the draw so the only way we can meet is in a final if we both make it that far. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 30/06/2017 01:41:50 2007778 Link

When making witty comments one must always endeavour to have one's facts correct. Only Dublin LoI ground with terracing (that isn't condemned) is Richmond Pk.

We're on opposite sides of the draw so the only way we can meet is in a final if we both make it that far." It's not difficult to understand. If both teams reach the final Connolly will be as rusty as old nails with no training, club activity and with potentially only one competitive game, the semi, under his belt. Are you saying that playing against the best forward in the country in that condition wouldn't be advantageous to Kerry? Ha, I've heard it all now. Gway outta tha ye cute hoor ye!

We may find that we can only field 12 players at that stage if Pat keeps picking us off. Yerra, I still fancy our chances against that yella belly outfit though :).

The greatest act of cowardness I ever saw in Croke Park was the Dublin team turning into the startled earwigs in 2009. How come with all yer greatness now ye've never managed to beat us like that?? ;D P.S Liam the louder you shout the more worried I know you are. God help your heart of it comes to a Kerry/Dublin final. I'll have to find you and give you a valum TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 30/06/2017 09:33:50 2007821 Link
Great photo of Diarmuid boxing training last night He'll be back lads. Gavin will have a dedicated training plan put together for him He's not injured and you don't lose what he has... He'll be back with bells on. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 30/06/2017 09:48:58 2007826 Link

Replying To jimbodub: "This thread isn't about a game" Like most threads its dissolved into nothing have a look back its started out as a thread about Dublin not doing interviews which is fair and relevant conversation , its become like every other thread a chance to slate other counties , get defensive throw more mud back where it came from and it goes on and on . Any decent thread started to discuss games barely gets a mention before hand , then when result is in chance to vent that superiority/inferiority complex all over again Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 30/06/2017 11:20:05 2007868 Link
