More evidence yesterday that our friend from Kerry is completely right..this was a fully professional outfit against a brave amateur outfit..the Dublin support even appears to have turned its back on this team..at ht thousands were streaming down clonliffe rd and incredibly many of them were Dublin supporters..yes DUBLIN supporters...the monster has well and truly been created and it really is time that people got their heads out of the sand...Kerry Donegal Tyrone and mayo will battle bravely but 5 in a row is a certainty and we are in all reality looking at 7,8,9 in a row and beyond...Gaelic football is dying because of the millions pouring into Dublin football.

Kerry v Donegal. I predicted a draw. The best of what the State Aid Free Championship has to offer. Respect for rural counties battling away with the benefit of financial doping.

ZZZzzzzz. Where were you, sitting outside the Clonliffe House watching the Dubs streaming out at HT? Embarrassing post.

Thoroughly admired the Donegal effort against the heavily sponsored Kerry Group PLC. The Kerry machine was brought to a halt today. A second string Donegal should have taken the game but for a silly catch and throw goal that cost them the win. Should be an interesting last round of games now.

Yeah but MayoTyrone man was sat outside a pub in Dublin, the pint souring in his mouth at the sight of all those Dubs streaming out of Croke Park early. So it's the mobile phone I blame.

Eh there was a very poor turnout today given Mayo and Donegals huge support usually. Kerry, well we will say no more about their paltry support.

Meath vs Carlow was on before Dublin vs Louth in Portlaoise. When we were heading back into the town early in the Dublin match we couldn't get over the number of Dubs who were in the pubs and restaurants. They didn't even bother going. When half time came in the match a big stream of Dubs came rolling down the town many heading for an early train home. You know the intercounty scene in the capital is dying when you see this.

On today, sad to see meath exit the SAF championship. Two good performances vs mayo and Donegal but the lads are not fit for 75+mins.

Kerry vs Donegal was a cracker. They have to be the favourites to take the state aid free championship. Tyrone a close third. Can't wait to see how this competition concludes.

Yeah it was great to see that show of defiance and skill against Kerry PLC, the county that introduced commercial backing
into our amateur sport. (And who also had a few full-time players who gave up their jobs to devote themselves to their football careers).

Well it looks like the drive for five, a Sunday afternoon sort of a drive.
So now, looking forward, We have the (financial) fix for six already in place & quite possibly the the (cheque book) pen for ten??

The 'Sate Aid Free Championship. That's rich coming from a poster from Meath. One of your own former heroes was induced out of retirement with the promise of a house built for him . Check it out. no shortage of money in Meath GAA. And by the way, I hope Meath try to recruit and develop their own hurlers rather than poach them from clubs in surrounding counties.

50k today not bad at all given 3 of the teams are a 4 hour plus drive from croker. Easy know you only hav the 30 min train ride to croker...it's gas the teams with the furthest to travel an smaller populations bring the bigger crowds to croker than Meath/Kildare/Dublin!!

You've proven yourself to be a a wum time and time again most notably when you were on here last year spouting your bile when Dublin where playing Tyrone in the final. Then you disappeared. Telling.
