Replying To Cavan_Shambles: "Oh I get it, so the trick is Dublin are just hungrier and want it more. Ok got it." About time. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 19/12/2020 20:36:58 2324077 Link
Replying To Htaem: "Call me cynical but having watched Dublin fart about for 55mins before cantering home, I honestly don't believe they wanted to win this game by very much. The rest of the country is finally waking up their financial advantages and a big win tonight would only have intensified the pressure, a 'close' game is a much better result for the Dubs. I'll probably be butchered for saying that and I could be very wrong of course, but that's how I felt watching the game. Well done to the Dublin players though, they are truly magic and completely blameless in this whole debacle." Well said ulsterrules (Donegal) - Posts: 259 - 19/12/2020 20:37:47 2324078 Link
Replying To Irishcelt: "I feel sorry for Dublin supporters cause infairnes to them there down to earth and they can't really celebrate their brilliant team anymore coz deep down they know noone really cares about the all Ireland football championship when this dominance is in full flow its boring and predictable and as much as the Dublin players management and supporters praise the opposition and we have to be on our game and all the patrinsein talk mayo will get coz they ran them to 5 points but end of the Dublin are so good now they can pick and choose what they want to win a game by and it looks like they don't want hammer teams the past 2 games coz of all the talk of splitting then in 2 or 4" they can't really celebrate their brilliant team Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "Apologies if this question has been asked and answered previously by Dubs who might have an insight in relation to it. The question is WHY ISN'T HOWARD STARTING?" I know!! Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 19/12/2020 20:38:35 2324080 Link
Replying To wexico15: "Seen very little to suggest otherwise" What is it you want to see? Not everybody is a John Mullane type of fella. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 19/12/2020 20:39:39 2324081 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Dream on if you think Meath are in the rest. Mayo are not 2nd best either. After Dublin there are 4or 5 and forget about the rest." So who's second best if it's not mayo? Coz we seen what Dublin done to the rest of leinster and we seen what they done to cavan who came out of the great great Ulster championship Irishcelt (Wicklow) - Posts: 149 - 19/12/2020 20:41:20 2324082 Link

Snooker Final of 85 was on my mind when I think Davis was told to make a match of it when 8-0 up. Might have back fired but people were turning off.

Replying To cavanman47: "But when the game is gone, you see respect amongst peers. The difference is. . .a professional team in an amateur sport has no peers." What professional team ? superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2842 - 19/12/2020 20:41:54 2324084 Link
Replying To mayotyroneman: "Really does say it all...but sure the dubs run Croke park so why should we be surprised..they get to pick their own ref for the final, and let's admit it once again he made the big calls that swung the game the dubs way...and of course they got to bring the cup on to the pitch...Limerick had to leave the Liam McCarthy up in the stand..sure when you are the dubs you can do what you like.." Lies. But then you know that. #6 Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 19/12/2020 20:43:03 2324086 Link
Replying To tonguey: "Was a brutal game of football. More backpassing than soccer. Great to see Dublin win for a change." Enjoyed it immensely myself 6 in a row -:) superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2842 - 19/12/2020 20:44:24 2324088 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "I tend to agree with you. It was as if , look lads keep it to single digits. Could be wrong and as you say we will get slaughtered for saying it. But I got the feeling dubs didn't want to win by too much to take the heat out of the argument to split up Dublin and particularly the funding" To me it seemed quite obvious, Dublin were making remarkably basic errors that Dublin just don't make, eg: 1. Kicked a sideline ball straight to an unmarked Mayo player's hands 2. For 55mins they were incredibly poor on their own kickouts and at contesting Mayo's, poorest I've seen them in a long long time. At one stage the ball went through a Dublin players legs from a short kickout by Cluxton under no pressure, unbelieve stuff! 3. Con O'Callaghan going for a goal that was never on In the final 15-20mins though Dublin just took over and sealed the game but you'd do well to convince me Dublin weren't just going a bit handy for large parts of that match. Again, no insult intended to the Dublin players, they are remarkable, but I'm not sure the opposition have the tools to catch Dublin any more.

Replying To galwayford: "Meath are not a good team. They have a big population, Mayo don't. So that is not true. Mayo pushed them all the way. They were far better than Meath." Estoy completamente de acuerdo, pero esto no se trata de Meath, se trata de si Dublín puede ser capturado por alguien más. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 19/12/2020 20:47:28 2324091 Link

Replying To Irishcelt: "Dublin going for 7 in a row in less than 7 months time brilliant achievement but can it be any more boring" Yes. In 7 months we'll have listened to another Stephen Cluxton speech and Dublin will be looking back at things that weren't quite right. jonno (Kildare) - Posts: 261 - 19/12/2020 20:53:18 2324100 Link

Actually I think whoever plays dub next year in finals will be closer too. Bit will it make a difference?? It must be very hard on the players to hold back and not be ruthless. But will it stop the clammer for change ?? I doubt it . Look if I was to pick my all time greatest players I've seen since sixties probably 8 of them would be from this dub team , so I in no way been disrespectful. It's just the gap is huge , I mean unbelievably wide. And it won't close in the next 4/5 years. So what can be done. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 19/12/2020 20:58:10 2324109 Link

Gaa have turned the AI into Scottish football only without 2 teams competing its just Dublin. 8 AI in 10 years shows the competition is dead already. kevin03 (Tyrone) - Posts: 280 - 19/12/2020 21:05:55 2324124 Link
Replying To Galwaymaster9: "A great day for Galway beating the Dubs in Croker.." Yes im sure it was for Galway , not a great day for Dublin however , congrats on the win . superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2842 - 19/12/2020 21:07:39 2324127 Link
Well done Dublin. Kilkenny, O'Callaghan, Fenton, Rock and Mannion when he came on were all excellent. tyroneed (Tyrone) - Posts: 753 - 19/12/2020 21:08:13 2324128 Link
