But how much of that Kerry success was achieved by beating a host of top teams. Lets be honest pre backdoor Kerry had 1 tough game against Cork to be in the AI series which was a pretty decent advantage over other being in Leinster back in the day.

Couldn't care less. Dublin don't want or need your 'respect'.

6 of your 8 matches in Dublin. It's just ridiculous.

Jaysus, you could be on to something there chief. You wouldn't know how many of these lads are the same fella with little to be doing with themselves.

also most of the Kerry wins were 3 games and they would play teams that didn't have the Croke Park experience. records from pre 2000 are not legit.

They'd have beaten the pick of Leinster at their peak. You had a good Munster final usually and a semi and final. They had to beat the top teams of the time assuming they won their provinces surely? How many 'top teams' did Dublin beat last year? Over the years they have typically had a tough game v Mayo each year and Kerry got close to them in 2016 as well. That's the extent of the opposition they have really had. If people want to trump up additional games that Dublin have had against hopeless opposition in Leinster as an obstacle that's their business. It's a weak argument designed to inflate what is an already great achievement. I don't know why people can't just enjoy it instead of looking for ways to run other successful teams down.

Hopefully not. That been said once Tyrone don't win it I really couldn't give a flying. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 06/08/2019 19:47:58 2221834 Link 0 |
6 of your 8 matches in Dublin. It's just ridiculous."]4 of those six games were semi finals and finals. Where do you propose to host semi finals and finals if not in the national stadium? The stadium has to be somewhere. Crazy isn't it?

Records pre 2000 are not legit?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My God in the GAA, as with really every aspect of life, I never cease to be amazed at the arrogance of human begins and this notion that the here and now is all that matters that everything that has gone before is worthless. Of any sport, to be so dismissive of the history of the GAA is very sad to see. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 06/08/2019 19:52:04 2221838 Link 4 |
We just completed our second 5 in a row only 2 weeks ago when our Kerry juniors completed the feat with a win over Galway they now join our minors who have also completed a 5 in a row only last September.

That was a Cork band actually - but then again that all happened before the morning after the 2011 final so yourelf and a few of your fellow county posters would hardly be expected to know anything about the GAA before that ;D

Yerra its truly a golden age for ye Johnny look at the riches you've enjoyed. From a Dublin fan point of view there's been great synchronicity between the rise of Dublin and the decline of Man U, so you lads had a new bandwagon all ready to jump onto ;D TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 06/08/2019 20:00:08 2221845 Link 4 |

I have read some hilarious claptrap on here trying to discredit Kerry over the years but this has to take the biscuit. Jesus, the fact that you even thought of this let alone wrote it!! You probably have a dartboard with Maurice Fitzs face on it after 97. Interesting cut off you picked GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 06/08/2019 20:23:45 2221862 Link 5 |
I don't see this 5 in a row to be a walk in the park for the Dubs. There's 3 other teams who have to have one huge game in them. If anyone of them gets a big game then it might stop the 5 in a row. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 06/08/2019 20:33:40 2221865 Link 1 |
