Cant believe the low level of promotion about this match in general, These are the guys that should be promoted to people to go and watch ,which in turn will bring bigger crowds to the senior matches as people will remember them and want to see how they get on if selected for the seniors.

the only chance roscommon have of winning this game is if the nerves get the better of the dublin lads............it's an all-ireland final................a lot at stake and therefore it's quite possible they may bottle it..............if they don't bottle it then i can see it being a very one side affair..............in short, they'll annihilate roscommon :(

Gammy_Knee, How many times have you seen Roscommon play? only game shown was the semi final & that was online. As already said here teams have come through poor semi final displays before to win All Ireland's.

And remember Wexford whom were well beaten by Cavan last year held Dublin to 3pts a few months ago.

---------------------
A rise out of people? I'm not Jack L or 51longago. Sure nobody is even talking about the final over on Dublin forum, no comments in over a week tells it's own tale! Dublin played Wexford in the opening game they would be regarded around the same level as Roscommon & Dublin didn't annihilate them.

Ye good point in fairness gaa lover Wexford were the best team Dublin played this year. I was at that game and it was level with 10 mins to go could of went either way. So he does make a good point that there similar to Roscommon

Roscommon could be better or worse than Wexford, Wont know till sunday. because dublin didnt hammer wexford means nothing. could be different scoreline if they met again,

A gallant Roscommon beaten by a classy Dublin team, well done lads!

the dubs kept their cool and more importantly their heads when their was a very real possibility the game was slipping away from them mid way through the second half................roscommon to their credit played some nice football and for the majority of the game.............the only thing i'll fault them for was their premature celebrations.................i think they thought they had the dubs beaten when they forged 3 points clear in the 4th quarter.........had they held off on celebrating their scores for much later in the game i think they might just have cause an upset.

Hahahaha gammy what about them dubs A?? Champions again anyone else notice the Dubs are taking over?

Was a good game in fairness. Dublin kept their shape and composure in a game that they could easily have left behind them. Some outstanding individual displays. Hard luck to the Rossie.

Well done to the Dubs, but I can't help but feel this one got away from Roscommon in the last 10 minutes. I thought Cathal Compton was outstanding, along with Scott Oates. For Dublin, the midfielder O'Conghaile was lording midfield, made several clean catches from the kickouts. I hadn't seen the Dubs play all year, and after all the talk about them I expected more.

All Ireland Champions... go on The Dubs!

Well done to Roscommon good display... just couldnt keep it up for long enough. Fair play you brought a great support but it was us on the pitch at the end of the game...

Some amount of booing and jeering out of the Rossies today... not often we're out boo'd ;)

Rossies were strong at the start of both halfs... but we owned the end of the game. Thats where finals are won... and we were well on top. Owned midfield... E O'C was superb. He's a future All Star.. classy stuff.

Fantastic to win another AI title within the year... great times for Dublin football.

1166848 Well done to the Dubs, but I can't help but feel this one got away from Roscommon in the last 10 minutes

______________

Thats how you win big games.. We owned the last 10-15 minutes. We cleaned out their midfield.. thats not us being lucky or Roscommon leaving anything behind. Thats us just being better.

Roscommon started each half well... we kept our shape and finished the far stronger team.

Roscommon played well but after their purple patches they were never more than a couple of scores out of reach.
