Replying To KingdomBoy1: "Full House at the 2014 2012 2010 2009 finals and all the way back realdub, 55000 at dublin v Galway semifinal 2 years ago, and it'll only get worse now yer hammering every 1, I go to every kerry games with the last 11/13 years I haven't missed 1, but il never again go to a Kerry v dublin game at senior level anyway, I'm not goin to pay good money to see my team get hammerd by the dublin province. That's the other thing if the gaa revived the railway Cup ye could enter that where the 4 teams will become 1 team so ye could all meet up for a session then." You would rather go back to your hurling province were for over 100 years Kerry were on the pigs back, on avg every 4 years Cork could win Munster but 3 out of 4 Kerry won?? Nobody thinking about the demise of the the Munster championship then for the very reason they didnt give a fiddlers because the jewel in the crown there was the hurling championship. And Kerry had it all to themselves. Role on 19th I will be devastated if we lose but I can tell you it won't hurts as much if it was from your bitter shower. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 08/12/2020 16:55:21 2320333 Link
Replying To lilypad: "Be Jaysus the cavan lads have become very vocal on the Dubs since they got eaten alive by them, stings a bit doesn't it!" Given how often it happens Louth people and Kildare people know just how much it stings. Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6031 - 08/12/2020 16:55:40 2320334 Link
Replying To realdub: "Sorry words for a Kerryman KB1, 55,000 is better than nothing. Who will go and support a section of Dublin? Not me or my ilk, thats for sure!" Ye'll get used it realdub, ye'll have to I'd say as this can't continue. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 08/12/2020 16:56:07 2320336 Link
All this noise is doing is making Dublin even stronger and United I've zero doubt that the negativity directed as this Dublin side is spoken about amongst the panel and really acts as huge motivation. The players know what they are sacrificing and the time and effort they've put into being as good as they are across their entire journey as a player It's belittling the efforts of their families I think it goes a long way to explain why Dublin are so focused and driven after hearing, reading about their huge efforts being absolutely dismissed So easy to use such as massive motivation to continue their efforts Fuel to the fire jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 08/12/2020 16:56:54 2320337 Link
Replying To Cavan_Shambles: "A Cavan man is a Cavan man. A Kerry man is a Kerry man. A Mayo man is a Mayo man. But what is a "Dublin man"? As a county it is a melting pot. Dublin just doesn't have a coherent identity on the same terms as the rest of the country. There is a massive cultural divide among Dublin people. North vs South, blue collar vs white collar, public vs private school. So why would it pain someone from Drumcondra if his new Dublin team didn't contain players from Dun Laoighire?" Hi Shambles. I'm just wondering do you live in dub? I do and have done for many years. There are little divisions here and there between soccer and gaa and maybe d4 rugby etc and a little slagging between northside and southside. There is even little divisions between the posies of glasnevin and Ballymun as Philly Mac says. However there is no more of a divide than there is in the country between the town teams and the country teams. I can assure you there is little or no real division between Dublin gaa supporters whole follow their county. I have been at many games over the years in Parnell Croke Park and more and hand on heart you are off the mark there. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3676 - 08/12/2020 17:05:22 2320340 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "Ye'll get used it realdub, ye'll have to I'd say as this can't continue." No, there'll be no getting used to anything like that. If it happens you'll have to get used to supporting Kerry/Clare or Kerry/Waterford to even the whole thing out, after all, this is about helping the weaker counties and not about stopping Dublin, right? realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 08/12/2020 17:31:15 2320353 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "You think dublin winning 8/10 allirelands every decade won't kill football? And you're telling me to cop on :-) even dubs numbers going to games were dropping before Covid as yer kinda getting sick of hammering teams." 81 munster titles 37 All IRELAND titles Did yous give a monkeys about all the decades your lot killed football ?? Kerry numbers always pathetic , only ever travel for All Ireland final, and you go on about Dublin numbers falling Yes cop the f--k on , When did Dublin ever hammer Kerry ? superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 08/12/2020 17:38:47 2320357 Link

Kerry weren't financially favoured though. Sean Kelly has admitted they, central GAA, finded and prioritised this revival and dominance. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 08/12/2020 18:12:29 2320371 Link
I think a more important questions is, how do we fix the current situation? The Leinster championship is dead and buried and the All-Ireland is teetering on the edge. How do we fix this? What needs to be done? Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 08/12/2020 19:01:14 2320383 Link

The man has achieved more for Kerry football than most down there. The argument i'd make is that in the long run Kerry won't ever approach a game thinking they have it won again. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 08/12/2020 19:13:50 2320392 Link

Maybe complacency set in against Cork this year but I think you're bring unfair to him. He would argue that he might have won an all Ireland or two if he'd had Jim Gavins players the last few years.

Yeah well I'm sure Pillar Caffrey could have done well with the players that Mickey Harte had a major part in bringing through across the 00's jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 08/12/2020 19:59:02 2320428 Link
