Kerry teams had to achieve what they did without home comforts but I suppose you'd like people to think playing in your home ground every match is no advantage at all ;D
To be frank given the artificial advantages bestowed on the Dubs these times - anything short of a 7 or 8 in a row would have to be seen as a failure.
But sure enjoy all the well earned success :D" I'd have a go back but you'll only throw a big cry baby act... Still though.. no 3 game All Ireland's and zero cake walk titles with a golden semifinal ticket year after year for Dublin"
Four of Dublins first four All-Irelands were won by playing three games. They even won one by playing only one game!

Replying To DUBJOHN: "Will it be anymore tarnished than that of any of the previous winners who came through the back door?" What a nonsensical comment.

Replying To Llaw_Gyffes: "I don't think the Dubs will be content to rest on their laurels after winning the five. Jim was recently offered a good deal on five in a row tee shirts, made in China, no questions asked all proceeds to the county board, nudge nudge wink wink. He was at the same time offered an even better deal on six, seven and eight in a row tee shirts. So Jim, cute hoor that he is, went away to weigh things up, not forgetting to put his thinking time down to expenses of course. The five in a row was a no brainer but, getting out his new five in a row biro, he made a list of potential hindrances to Dublin's continued dominance. Kerry, can't defend, Tyrone, can't decide whether to attack or defend, Galway, ditto. Donegal, not unless they bring Jim back, Mayo, you're kidding me. Cork, potential but won't get their act together unless the GAA do something incredibly stupid like giving them umpteen millions, and with big John at the helm not going to happen...So Jim went back and ordered the five, six and seven in a row shirts with an option on the eight in a row, all proceeds to the county board of course. He would have gone for the eighth as well only he had to factor in incredibly long odds unknown unknowns such as, the GAA withdrawing the millions in funding, his entire squad being injured at the same time, the sky falling in or being beaten by Mayo........." And I believe that all the transactions outlined will be in bitcoin .....

But of course jimbo is only watching football ( on telly )since 2011 so he wouldn't have known that.

But sure enjoy all the well earned success :D" I'd still rather play 3 games to win an AI like Kerry did in 1980 than have to play 8 games, 6 in Dublin and 2 outside of Dublin, as Dublin had to last year and this year to win an AI in an era where skill, athleticism and strategy are at a peak.

If Dublin do the five they will certainly deserve it but I dint think it's as nailed on as a lot of people think they can be beat. Whether they do or not they've been a fantastic team through the 10's the 13 semi sums them up for me mentally so strong, we we're fantastic that day the Gooch excellent but they still managed to beat us with a crushing finish to the game. If we don't win it this year I'm praying Mayo or Tyrone stop them, not begrudgery but certainly some jealousy!!
