Cork played well. However, we lost heavily. I suspect we'll give it a go and lose next week too. Tyrone will be hot favourites. At the end of the day, we are patting ourselves on the back when we lose. We were relegated to Division 3 and only reached this stage because we got a very fortunate draw. That is not negative. It is a fact. Monaghan, Galway, Cavan, Armagh, Kildare would love to have played Limerick and Laois. Cork's most important match is not next Saturday but next February. If we want to genuinely compete for all Irelands, we need to be in Division one. First we must get out of Division 3. We certainly have the ability to do this. It is a must. Posts on here were a lot different at the start of the decade when we were one of the best teams around. Now, it is is just patronising ould guff. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 14/07/2019 09:13:51 2210533 Link
Very hard to see Dublin not doing 5 in a row. Even when they don't play well they just kill teams in the last 10/ 15 mins with fitness/ quality bench. Late in games their opponents always get over run because of this. bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1358 - 14/07/2019 09:16:20 2210534 Link
Replying To dec: "Honestly who care about the football championship anymore, even majority of dubs dont go anymore i. Until all Ireland final, the gaa hierachy have destroyed football by funding the dublin monster, a professional team with home advantage playing amateurs! No wonder only 35000 turned up sure why couldn't they have played this in parc i Cuimh? It holds 45000, o hold on dont ask the poor dubs to travel" u REALLY need to get a life Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2845 - 14/07/2019 09:17:23 2210535 Link
Replying To festinog: "Why are ye fitter Realdub? Serious question. Until people start addressing the reasons for that, the AI will continue to be a competition for second place." That's an excellent question, how are dublin fitter than every other team? I mean every team are killing them selves at training week in week out yet no one can match their fitness.

Cork still did very well yesterday u can't take that away from them. Tyrone could be in for a horrible game next week Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 14/07/2019 09:56:25 2210548 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "And people on here had a pop at Mayo when there was only 20k at the Roscommon game?" Is that the best you can come up with? If Cork had brought even 10K to Croker then the attendance would have been double the Mayo game. Does that sound better? Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 14/07/2019 09:57:43 2210550 Link
Replying To aidan64: "Dublin lucky with their 2nd goal. Clear push on cork forward beforehand. Huge score just before half time" Aidan64 I saw your post and was interested to see if there was a free out and a push as you said. I didn't see a foul on the day and was right behind it. I had the game recorded and I watched it back. Genuinely didn't see any foul, Con physically got the better of his man and not one mention of a possible foul by any of the commentators and that includes the goal being shown in analysis. Zero mention. I watched it a couple of times myself and honestly no foul. Not even a hint of one. I respectfully disagree. No foul there at all. Im sure the game is on YouTube if you're bothered to have a look. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 14/07/2019 09:59:58 2210553 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "And people on here had a pop at Mayo when there was only 20k at the Roscommon game?" Imagine that, having a pop at Mayo! And others having a pop at the poor Dubs! Both playing the victim! You can't win! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1818 - 14/07/2019 10:00:58 2210554 Link

Dubs up at 4 each morning, down to Dollymount for laps of the beach while Kerry men lay in slumber dreaming of Sams now out of reach. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 14/07/2019 10:01:57 2210556 Link

Ok so now it's our fitness , nothing to do with the keeper kicking the ball straight to Small and Kilkenny getting a goal and totally deflating the Cork challenge? Kingdomboy when you have better players and our winning it always looks like you've the fitter players in any game. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 14/07/2019 10:04:42 2210557 Link

Late in games their opponents always get over run because of this." Fitness and skill in fairness. That pass from Jack and that finish from Fento were sublime pieces of skill in fairness. But yes this team trains extremely hard and is in peak condition but I believe that Tyrone and Donegal are equally fit from what I've seen.

What sort of post it that above? Classy? lol As usual the big bad Dub at play wha... I merely responded at a similar pig ignorant level for a laugh. It's calledd give and take. I know you Galway lads might be a bit touchy about the whole "Going out in June" thing ;) No wonder you're we bit sensitive regarding my comment wha... jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 14/07/2019 10:07:33 2210559 Link
Replying To festinog: "Why are ye fitter Realdub? Serious question. Until people start addressing the reasons for that, the AI will continue to be a competition for second place." Mayo and Tyrone are as fit and as well conditioned. That's a fact. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 14/07/2019 10:12:51 2210563 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "That's an excellent question, how are dublin fitter than every other team? I mean every team are killing them selves at training week in week out yet no one can match their fitness." They are fitter because they are better, more natural footballers, wonderful supporters who never jeer a penalty taker. or boo the opponents' wides. They get no funding, had the generosity and good sense to refuse state aid and passed it on to the neglected regions - how could anyone not love the Dubs - they even reduced the crowds coming to Croker in case a full stadium would be too intimidating for the opposition.

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "That's an excellent question, how are dublin fitter than every other team? I mean every team are killing them selves at training week in week out yet no one can match their fitness." Try the narcotics angle it's an avenue you haven't explored yet. You have exhausted paying the refs, players being paid big bucks, a personal s&c coach for every panel player. Maybe they each have a personal tailored fitness program and dietry regime and like the Stepford wife's they stick to it. Maybe they are just natural athletes and they fitter than Cork? But would a shocking conclusion on your part right? Keep on digging I am sure you will unearth another conspiracy. Meanwhile in the real world I am sure Tyrone will match them for fitness. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4897 - 14/07/2019 10:27:21 2210570 Link

Replying To superbluedub: "What numbskull red thumbed that ? lol ….." To say that someone or something is "incredible" means that he is quite literally unbelieveable. Jack is a super player but unbelieveable? I think not. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 14/07/2019 10:41:39 2210583 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "That's an excellent question, how are dublin fitter than every other team? I mean every team are killing them selves at training week in week out yet no one can match their fitness." Is this the next thing up why are Dublin fitter? What are u suggesting here? Only hard work pal no Brendan O'Sullivan short cuts or cover ups? How that was allowed to slide still beggars belief.
