Doubt neutrals will have much interest in the Football final. Just a matter of Dublin by what margin. StirringIt (Cavan) - Posts: 374 - 15/08/2018 11:27:22 2133527 Link 2 |

Along with the hurling final it's the biggest sporting occassion on the calendar. It will have the best atmosphere of any event this year in the country and will feature probably the greatest team to ever play the game against a team managed by one of the greatest managers that has ever led a team. You're either into sport or you're not. If you are then you wouldn't miss this game.

People who've zero interest in Gaelic football watch the all Ireland final every year without fail, yet you a man that's joined a Gaa forum won't be watching? I don't believe you I call bs. Obviously you're pissed off with Dublin winning but you'll be watching alright.

That has made our neighbours a laughingstock. I'd pick another hashtag to pin your hopes upon. :-) Aido Aido69 (Dublin) - Posts: 381 - 15/08/2018 19:24:08 2133695 Link 0 |

The only thing that means a Tyrone win is complacency by Dublin. They have been known for it in the past so you just never know. Tir Conaill Abu (Donegal) - Posts: 1671 - 15/08/2018 19:51:14 2133699 Link 0 |

I don't watch football hardly at all anymore. It's hard to get excited when it's about as competitive as the hurling was when kilkenny dominated. I rarely watched hurling back then either.

What has watchng matches like Tyrone v Monaghan, Kldare v Mayo, Kerry v Galway got to do with Dubln's dominance? I watch a lot of soccer. I don't stop watching MOTD because Man City will win the league for the next 4 years. That makes no sense.

Agreed in the distant past yes, under Jim Gavin no chance

Since teams started outright buying the league I stopped watching soccer. Leicester City was a nice break but that mini revolution didn't last long. Ever since Sam maguire effectively started being bought via financial advantages amongst other advantages I've lost interest. The leinster championship even more so. And that was once thrilling. After the hurling boom in the nineties it was so hard to get excited and watch games when everyone knew kilkenny would win. Now it's so exciting knowing that about 9 counties could realistically win it. The gaa could make the same mistake twice and invest millions more annually into Dublin hurling but instead they could be smart and invest millions into a county like antrim and a city like Belfast. Create a new contender rather then make 1 County dominant. Also invest millions into the next tier of counties like kildare, kerry, meath, wocklow, laois, ofally, mayo and carlow. That would actually be smart and good for our games. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 16/08/2018 02:30:42 2133744 Link 0 |

He'll be watching everyone on here will be, they think telling us that they hate Dublin's dominance will upset us or something when we don't care this team is on a mission to be the greatest of all time so suck it up for a few more years we're going nowhere.

for someone who has no interest in the game anymore since dublin are dominant with all their advantages, you don't half spend a lot of time on here whinging about it. If you weren't interested you wouldnt spend your time chatting (s&!te) on a GAA forum about the all ireland final.

Dublin should win this by about 10 points. And I'd say the same if Mon were in it. They target the final like an athlete targets an important race. With respect, Tyrone are no Mayo at their height. Five in a row, six, seven, there's no limit. And good luck to them Mon79 (Monaghan) - Posts: 81 - 16/08/2018 13:19:28 2133834 Link 0 |

Dubs by +5. Better 1st 15, better bench, better manager. No matter what BS is written in advance about MH master plan etc.. Dubs too strong and with too many options for this evolving Tyrone team. But I guess the papers and media in general need to hype up Tyrone's chances to sell. fingalman (Dublin) - Posts: 233 - 16/08/2018 13:28:20 2133835 Link 0 |

Hard to look beyond Dublin, even though the neutral venue should at least give Tyrone a chance..... kingdom_come (Kerry) - Posts: 76 - 16/08/2018 14:52:35 2133861 Link 1 |

I've been following football for a long time now and I never remember a final where the outcome has been such a foregone conclusion. Yes, in all probability Dublin are going to win but you just never know in sport. A couple of freak, early goals for Tyrone, an injury or sending off for Dublin, the Hill falls silent, things start getting edgy. Extremely unlikely I know but it isn't won yet. When's the last time that things went seriously pear shaped for Dublin in a knockout championship game? They're overdue a bad day at the office. That said, Dublin are a brilliant, brilliant team and hats off if they equal Wexford's one 4-in-a-row. 14KY37 (Kerry) - Posts: 30 - 16/08/2018 16:01:56 2133882 Link 1 |

Look it, she's set up nicely for Tyrone to come in and give it a right good lash. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 16/08/2018 16:05:57 2133883 Link 0 |

You know something maybe they should just cancel the final this year and give the cup to Dublin now. Tyrone are in final fair and square - they had to beat what's in front of them so they're the best of the rest. This doesn't seem to be good enough for some people - would the Dubs and others prefer an easier game to give them the 4 in a row? Seriously in a one off game anything is possible - Tyrone as much as people don't like them will not just show up in final and get heavily beaten. Any semi is a game most footballers hate - it's just needs to be won to get into final - no matter how badly you play. The final Tyrone will plan and scheme and do whatever to try and win this game. I just wonder if Tyrone do win will they get the respect they deserve or will people just wheel out all the usual nonsense - Tyrone cynical, dirty, divers blah blah blah!!! Last team going for a string of visctories was Kerry in 2008 and who stopped that? IrishGael3 (USA) - Posts: 1092 - 16/08/2018 16:44:17 2133897 Link 0 |
