Best laugh I had in a while, is this what the great Kingdom have been reduced too? the Dubs are setting the standard, it's up to the rest of us to try and match them.

I would say 15 years mate, they are only now sorting Kerry out with tough games in the championship with the super 8 and sure thats been going on for 100 years. :)

"But, I think Dublin's defensive formation when Tyrone had the ball was identical to that of Tyrone." and far more effective the blanket became a strait jacket which throttle Tyrone.

Kerry never in the history of the GAA had the benefit of home games in perpetuity, half the funding, semi-pro players, 80 pro coaches and a backroom team bigger than our playing squad............. We always knew who our playters were and never mixed them up form one another................... AgainstTheOdds (Kerry) - Posts: 47 - 29/08/2017 14:09:50 2040092 Link 0 |
These posts coming from Kerry people are absolutely hilarious! Bet you weren't waiting for someone to STOP when Kerry were dominating.

1) Poor oul Cork seem to have a lot of Munster Finals in Killarney though. 2) Kerry are way over funded comparatively to population. 3) Agree, its very self evident as part of your problem. 4) I would be very surprised if the Dublin senior football team had 80 coaches, we would need a couple of buses!:) 5) Ill tell you what i would concede the backroom team, if you can tell me who they are their roles and compare them to the number of the playing squad - but i suspect your lieing. Kerrys failing arent Dublins problems really. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 29/08/2017 15:18:32 2040149 Link 1 |
Lord save us and bless us. As if winning an All Ireland wasn't hard enough we're also expected to save football. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7344 - 29/08/2017 15:30:07 2040159 Link 2 |

You cant say football is bad or needs saved when when one county is winning no matter who it is . I'm as anti-Dub as most ( mainly due to their supporters - ole'ing etc , only natural though I suppose ) but no one can doubt they are the best team around, probably the best ever . They have the best players who work the hardest , are the most skillful , the best tacklers . Its like when Tiger woods was dominating Golf he was he simply the best at all aspects of the game - dubs are the same . Finsceal (None) - Posts: 559 - 29/08/2017 15:50:08 2040175 Link 2 |

Kerry won eight All-Irelands in twelve years but you are right in regard to crowds. Dublin have brought massive crowds to the games and Dublin have created great publicity for the game of Gaelic Football. They are wonderful ambassadors for the game. Mayo have also provided terrific entertainment in this years championship. Mayo are great footballers and a credit to their county. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 29/08/2017 16:16:48 2040201 Link 2 |

They never had a population of 1.3m citizens to promote games to either, they never had ticket demands of 70,000 plus for championship games, never had a problem with stadia outside of their county incapable of hosting their numbers, could never really be considered a dual county, never had a real threat from rival sports like soccer and they were never great contributors of wealth to the GAA coffers. Chalk and cheese really.
