In 2013 , I set up a thread asking the question ' how does a side beat the Dubs '? I got slated by many Dublin fans for trolling . I was proved right because they were not beaten . I didn't set the thread up last year because it's difficult to win back to back . TheRightStuff (Donegal) - Posts: 1688 - 30/06/2015 11:43:03 1745267 Link 0 |

Yes. I read McGuinness' piece, very complimentary alright. But I can guarantee that he is trying to devise a plan to beat them, he just seems the type of character that loves that kind of thing. Fitzmaurice down in Kerry will be doing the exact same thing. People are also forgetting that Kildare must have hit 8 easy wides in the first half against Dublin, non of the top teams would be so wasteful and that would put massive pressure on Dublin should they give another opponent those opportunities. bobby_shane (Dublin) - Posts: 106 - 30/06/2015 12:14:12 1745315 Link 0 |
Not a chance they will be beaten. Far too strong from 1 to 15 and no system can or will deny them. Might as well present Sam to them on the 12 of July. Jimin10 (Meath) - Posts: 783 - 30/06/2015 12:17:21 1745319 Link 0 |
Kerry and Donegal would seem best suited at present with memories of Mayo 2012 and first 20 mins of 2013 against Dublin also capable. The answer is yes because the teams they are playing at the moment are so week it can not be helping Dublin to formulate and tweek the team. Donegal for instance were average against Derry but once again they edge their second close match of the championship. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 30/06/2015 12:18:50 1745322 Link 0 |
Not this year. Kerry could beat them in a final but I think they are to meet in the Semi mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 30/06/2015 12:20:25 1745324 Link 0 |
Yes they are beatable. Dublins biggest problem is the fact they are in Leinster which at present isn't the greatest of preparation for the business end of the season. I believe that if that Dublin team were playing in the Ulster Championship over the last 5 years say they could be sitting with 5 AI titles as they would be battle hardened on top of the players they have at their disposal.

I watched a Dublin team on Sunday that are relentless, physically fit and with bags of skill. They are a fantastic team but on any day a team can be beaten. I do think the odds on Dublin winning the All Ireland are correct and they probably will win it but if they had a man sent off or conceded a few goals against a top team then it could be interesting.

No the draw for this year semi are Ulster v Munster and Leinster v Connaught, it's set up for a Kerry v Dublin final unless Donegal/Monaghan can dethrone the Kingdom riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 30/06/2015 12:30:59 1745338 Link 0 |
theoretically Yes KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 30/06/2015 12:31:01 1745339 Link 0 |
I can't see them being bet this year. Possibly Kerry. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 30/06/2015 12:38:40 1745341 Link 0 |
FFS, what have Dublin done? Beaten a Division 4 team and a Division 2 side that's been in free fall for the past 2 seasons. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 30/06/2015 12:43:03 1745345 Link 0 |
I pity Westmeath first and foremost having to play them in a Leinster Final. We all know how good Dublin are on finals day be it a league final , Leinster Final or All-Ireland final. They thrive on those occasions. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 30/06/2015 12:51:54 1745352 Link 0 |

Dublin will be hard to beat but if they keep hammering weak teams and then meet a strong team it could be dangerous. BIG SACKS (Tyrone) - Posts: 1681 - 30/06/2015 12:52:33 1745354 Link 0 |
D'unbeatables playing every game on their home ground, and with all the advantages and resources they have, won't be beaten this year. They are like a professional outfit playing in an amateur league, totally invincible. bryanadams (Kildare) - Posts: 733 - 30/06/2015 12:54:09 1745358 Link 0 |
