The Brazilian defense wouldn't have a chance of containing that Kerry forward line!!

No comparison. Dublin are light years ahead now. We would most likely have beaten Dublin in 2012. We will never know though. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 09/03/2018 10:05:58 2082880 Link 0 |
Garincha was player with his bow legs.

Dubs are good at winning the close ones so I'd fancy them to pull it off. They're more settled now and have better mental strength which probably was lacking back then. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 09/03/2018 10:59:34 2082896 Link 0 |

Dublin hands down. They are the best team i have ever seen play the game. They have that All Blacks mentality. TheFrenchCannotBeTrusted (Kildare) - Posts: 7 - 09/03/2018 13:07:26 2082928 Link 0 |
Donegal without a doubt !! seriously though I think this Dublin team can be beat but it's going to take a hell of a team and a great performance with everything going near 100% right on the day to do it in the white heat of Championship, Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2749 - 09/03/2018 13:11:00 2082930 Link 0 |
Obviously we can be beaten and will be at some point .. All the great teams are beaten you'd swear Dublin are different the way people go on here. The great Kerry team that won numerous all Ireland's on the bounce, the great New Zealand rugby team, the arsenal 49 game unbeaten league run etc. and no shit it'll take a good team to do it, naturally enough like ... Talk about stating the obvious On the topic itself it's an absolutely ridiculous question as they are two teams in two eras. We will never know so it's all guess work and in all honesty who even cares?? I respect its a fora and things will be discussed but these threads Annoy me ... Tyrone of the 00s or Dublin of the last 5 years.. Again, impossible to say. Why can't people just appreciate great teams for what they are in their prime. It have no bearing or relevance of people think team x from one decade would beat team Y from another .. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 09/03/2018 14:32:30 2082948 Link 1 |
Wayno ye have the population and infrastructure to stay at the top for good, ourselves and Kilkenny were never going to be able to sustain our dominance whereas ye will, it will be interesting to see if Dublin knocks out 5 or 6 or 7 in a row what people will have to say about it then.

Tyrone of the noughties would have frustrated the hell out of Dublin like they did to that great Kerry team, they would have exposed any ill discipline in the Dublin ranks too, they were great wind up merchants as well as great players, I think they'd have beaten the current Dublin team, saying that I think Kerry from that era would have beaten this current Dublin set up too.

Garincha played for Brazil 1958 and 1962 World cups. Not there in 1970. I think Pele, Rivelino, Gerson, Tostao, Jairzinho, and Carlos Alberto would have too much for the Kerrymen Rockies (Cork) - Posts: 947 - 10/03/2018 00:57:55 2083083 Link 0 |

Well they did play in the semi final in 2011 and Dublin narrowly one in an immensely tight game. Whether Donegal were stronger and Dublin weaker in 2012 and vice versa in 2015, its subjective really and different context was at play. I think you have to enjoy the particular success any given year. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 10/03/2018 09:02:12 2083103 Link 0 |
It's all good natured what's and ifs stuff this but essentially there is no answer. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 10/03/2018 09:42:09 2083115 Link 0 |
In fairness the Dublin team of the 00s drew with Tyrone in 2005 and ran the Kerry team rally close in 2007. If that Dublin team was capable of that then I think this Dublin team would have been able to beat the Tyrone and Kerry teams of the 00s. I'm not saying that this Dublin team would've dominated the 00s but that Tyrone and Kerry's duopoly from 2003-2009 wouldn't have happened.
