Is that the best you can do ?
Seriously. Haha

"What i would say though it isn't a deliberate tactic by Dublin as part of an overall systemic defensive approach i.e. every team will makes a professional fouls. It could just be me but i actually think its a systemic and deliberate approach by Kerry as part of an overall defensive system."

Translation: when we're cynical it's an accident, when ye're cynical it's deliberate. A lad, you're letting yourself down badly there with that kind of blue-tinted seafóid. Embrace it! It's not the reason Dublin has won so much of late, ye've a great team, but it's definitely helped.

We all struggle with real truths to be honest.

I wouldn't even dare to mention Galway are an overly defensive team in this thread! :D

Your so kind. Don't worry plenty having a go at us this year with the little progress we have made. Some I wonder fear we might actually do something in the next few years.

All? Any? Just a passing glance or have you trawled through ever single game played and studied every single play? Actually you've probably done that with all the spare time you seem to have regarding us. Take a look back over the last 10 minutes of 2011 which is a great watch ;) In Joe we trust xx

In fairness of all the perceived bias Joe has for the Dubs the free at the end of the Leinster final in 2011 his worst call. The Lillies were done that day and IMO Joe's most obvious mistake.

Was it. I thought that was the final that year but point still the same. Mind you I don't buy this thinking that Joe was a huge benefit to the Dubs over a sustained period. Bottom line is ye have been the best team for a few yrs now whatever about Joe.

After watching cork-tyrone it's very possible Kerry have been flattered by the opposition they have faced.

It sure was a semi alright, we played Wexford in the final that year, who were hammering us up to halftime.

It was a judgement call that decision, but I think it went in our favour due to a fairly harsh Eoin O Gara sending off a few mins before.

Nice words a chara. ;)

This shows us we have beat nothing, Dublin have a handy 4 in a row.

Galway are going to be a huge step up, no doubt about it.

Hoping fora cracker of a game.

Yeer forwards look top class. Possible (hopefully) ye are a little vulnerable down the middle. Cork got a couple of soft goals and in the league game we could have had 6.

I think our only chance is to push up on ye and try to expose Kerrys defence. If we try and defend against those Kerry forwards we could get destroyed. Best form of defence is attack i think!

A real Kerry man would never throw in the towel like that, for shame, good sir, for shame.

Agree think this has the making of a great game and very hard to call. Galway have made great progress over past 2 years and no better team to measure themselves against.
