Replying To keithlemon: "If still unbeaten by St Patricks weekend, they'll be going down to Kerry looking to equal the record, that of the Kerry team from the 1930's. That game is going to be a cracker" I didn't even know there was a record till you mentioned it Keith, it's not something we talk about too much down here, but records are there to be broken and best of luck to the dubs of ye do it. I know our minors are on an 18 game in a row winning streak. Not bad for a bunch of young lads. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/02/2017 22:42:48 1956451 Link

It's a decent record but in all honestly you can't count the Leinster championship but you can only beat what's in front of you, the League isn't a real challenge as most teams are setting up for championship but the proof is winning the All Ireland title and Dublin have done that 2 in a row so in that regard they are well worth their tag of the best team in Ireland for the past 2 seasons and a few League titles are a bonus.

Its phenomenal consistency to go unbeaten for that long. I expect that that record will stand for a very long time if they do it. To be honest I couldn't care less if they beat a Kerry record that I didn't know we had. We need points so I'd be more worried about losing the actual game.

Not to bothered about the recovery rd to be honest and think it will go on Saturday, it stands alone in the modern context. But we are in the trophy business much more proud of 8 national titles in 6 years. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4446 - 01/03/2017 20:32:02 1962629 Link
Think we may come unstuck at the weekend but if you asked me to choose losing the unbeaten streak to Mayo or away to Kerry - I would take this weekend every time. I know Jim doesn't look at records and losing unbeaten streaks etc, but it would be a hell of a motivational tool should we lose, for our next encounter.... Great to get such a big game so early in the season. Looking forward to an interesting night.... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3743 - 01/03/2017 22:47:49 1962670 Link

Replying To The_Fridge: "#league and championship only ;)" Yeah it is not a real record until Dublin go unbeaten in the League, Championship and O'Byrne Cup for 2 years. But I would be worried if that happened because there will be real talk about a split of Dublin then! gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 990 - 06/03/2017 23:59:40 1964885 Link
Record or not, this game in Tralee promises to be an absolute cracker now I'm just disappointed I'm not going, the craic in Tralee will be something else. Stacks are well overdue hosting a game like this, I think the last time there was a Dublin Kerry game down there as 04 or 05 Make no mistake, Kerry will be rabid for this one. This is a great chance for them to lay down a marker. No way will the Dublin backs have it as easy as they did on Saturday with the form Geaney is in. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 07/03/2017 08:56:51 1964911 Link
Replying To The_Fridge: "#league and championship only ;)" I never stated otherwise Also come on.. be honest As if we couldn't have won those O'Byrne cup games if we wanted too... stop the messing It's a warm up comp to give fringe players a chance to wear the jersey Nothing more, our A V B games are of a higher standard So it is 33 games unbeaten in competitive football at the highest level (not winning games in Div 2 like some) jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20608 - 07/03/2017 09:10:50 1964913 Link

Mayo were supposedly rabid for their trip up to Croker on Saturday and had their chance to lay down said marker.... we chewed them up and spat them out. Its at the stage now where it literally doesn't even matter what mentality Kerry have or how much they want to win, If Dublin turn up and play to their ability or 80/90% of that ability, We will beat whoever, on any day, whether its played in Croke Park, Tralee, or the moon. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 07/03/2017 11:06:09 1964950 Link

I mean you can't say we have had our strongest team out against ye in any league games our counties have played in the last 5/6 years. Even last years league final we had no maher jod or geaney, and just because Dublin decide to take league seriously doesn't mean the rest of the teams do , Most of us are just trying out new players and trying players in different systems and trying players in different positions for the championship.
