http://hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=257154 Paddy Cullen here stating the undeniable truth that Dublin are unstoppable and that people should stop pretending that there is anyone remotely close to them. It's refreshing to see some honesty and gives an insight to what Dublin GAA people really think of the situation instead of the lame patronising shtick from Jim Gavin and some Dublin fans on here, lads ye are fooling no one.

If it's the all Ireland you are talking about and it is 'undeniable' can I ask what bookmakers did you go to and how big of a loan did you get from the credit union to bet with? Usually bookies are more careful. I know the odds are only 11/10 but lads if we all chip in a few 100K each for an 'undeniable' bet we could be on to a nice wee earner here. Thanks for the heads up chap! DoireCityFC (Derry) - Posts: 1580 - 24/06/2016 14:51:08 1871555 Link
It's a rather ridiculous and broad stroke to think that's what all Dublin people think.. it's not.. Certainly no one I know... No doubting that we have quality but it's already been proven that arguably a stronger Dublin panel was beaten in 2014 by a hungry, and very well prepared team, and Mayo could have easily beaten Dublin in the first game in 2015 We are taking one game at a time.. and the only blustering being done about Dublin GAA is almost entirely coming from outside the county and in fact from you KY...... jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20604 - 24/06/2016 14:52:48 1871558 Link
Haha,when i saw the title of this thread i immediately had a suspicion it was started by our Dublin arse licking Kerry friend.So predictable. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 24/06/2016 14:56:41 1871562 Link
So Paddy Cullen thinks we're the best team in Ireland.... erm, so do most people. As for Jim Gavin, his 'diplomatic' speel is just a door he closes when he talks to the media, he knows not to feed the gorillas for fear of tabloid type and taken out of context hysteric sub-editing. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8603 - 24/06/2016 15:10:27 1871575 Link

Replying To cuederocket: "Haha,when i saw the title of this thread i immediately had a suspicion it was started by our Dublin arse licking Kerry friend.So predictable." I'm just the messenger, don't shoot the messenger or at least refrain from such repugnant remarks such as those above. Realdub - He said untouchable - that is a lot different from just saying they are the best. In any given year there will be a team that is the best (obvious statement) However, untouchable teams rarely if ever exist. The only one I've seen in my lifetime in the GAA was this KK hurling team particularly in the 2006-09 years. This Dublin team are clearly in that bracket. http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/paddy-cullen-hails-dubs-enigma-jim-gavin-406675.html To those who said it's referring to Leinster, it's not its Ireland. I read the Examiner this morning and Cullen talks about squad (not team), military style operation led by Jim Gavin and what he is getting at no one else can replicate these important factors "I find we are unstoppable in the system that's there right now' 'if they pull one player, another one goes in and nothing changes the pattern of play. Nothing changes in terms of the overlaps and the style of their play' 'I can be quite honest and candid with you about that. If everybody just admits it, because a lot of people just kind of kick to touch on this, but I'll say there's nobody to touch Dublin at the moment' KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 24/06/2016 17:20:46 1871632 Link

Well DoireCity I told everyone a few weeks back to back them at 11/8 and got panned by the usual suspects and once again I have been proven correct as the price has closen significantly since and after another dominant win this Sunday it will do so even more. You are still getting a good investment opportunity now but not as great as it was when I proposed it initially. KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 24/06/2016 17:26:24 1871637 Link
Realdub - He said untouchable - that is a lot different from just saying they are the best. Maybe not a great choice of words from Paddy, I would not agree that we are untouchable. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8603 - 24/06/2016 17:45:44 1871647 Link

Yes we have a great team.We all know that.I know you cannot see it happening,but like all teams,we can and will be beaten.Hopefully not this year but happen it will.Never thought i'd say this to a Kerry man but have a wee bit more faith in your own county. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 24/06/2016 18:15:27 1871659 Link

Let whoever wants believe all this ---- it would not be the first time the hype caught up with Dublin. When the heat comes on in August or if Dublin last through to end of September we will see how much they miss R o Carroll or MC Cafferty. I think they will be a massive loss to Dublin especially towards the later stages of the championship. Don't forget this Dublin team is still trying to get to their second All Ireland final in a row never mind winning two in a row SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 24/06/2016 20:26:24 1871694 Link

You gotta wonder do Kerry people not know that we dont buy the cute Kerry hoorism anymore?

Not all Kerry fans do the cute hoorisim and I think EF is one of them. And with all due respect I don't see a need for mind games with tipp. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 24/06/2016 21:29:35 1871717 Link
