Not too often lately indeed, but when we have reached all ireland finals we tended to return across the shannon as all Ireland champions and bare in mind this was after color television and not in black and white BilboNaggins (Galway) - Posts: 59 - 04/08/2021 12:31:06 2367533 Link

Replying To superbluedub: "Nope he never said Dublin haven't a hope on the first page , please read it again" Ha ha lads posting opinions on an opinion forum shocker. "Jimbo" (Always Jim), calls a meeting every morning in Smithfield square and we strategically launch cyber attacks across the interweb, to undermine our chances and lead all our rivals into a false sense of security and psychologicaly try and wrong foot them! ;D This place, is great, takes all types to make up the world really! ;) TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4516 - 04/08/2021 14:23:16 2367579 Link

Replying To endgame: "Galway are certainly the Connacht county that knows most about winning Football All Irelands and smart comments from a Mayo poster about Galway are not well founded.Galway though at present are a long way off winning anything and will remain so while Padraig Joyce is Manager." 'Galway are certainly the Connacht county that knows most about winning Football All Irelands' two decades ago when they last.. A lifetime ago.. Gaelic football has completely and utterly transformed since then ...as has hurling The football landscape, the professionalism of players/managers/setups, the intercounty development setups, the systems used.... What is the point is refencing glory 20/30+ years prior to this current modern game? Basically ..... Dublin/Kerry/Mayo/Donegal... Tyrone/Monaghan (to a much lesser extent) have shown over the last decade they what it takes in their county setup from senior down their conveyor belts to produce teams that can meet the standards set and required at the business end of the championship in the MODERN GAME.. which requires insane athleticism on top of skill from 1-30 on the panel. In this modern game Dublin have totally dominated and rightly so they were absolutely phenomenal 2011-2020 and the teams that pushed them to the pin of their collars (mayo numerous occasions, Kerry also numerous times, Donegal beating them in 2014) .. all the rest of the counties were miles off providing us with the same highly competitive matches these 3 teams put up to the dubs over the last decade of the intercounty game.. so you referencing Galway's win over Meath in 2001, 1998 or those back 50+ years ago is honestly a joke when discussing the current game.

Connacht haven't won a senior All Ireland football title since Galway did 20 years ago. Too long .Mayo have had their chances but fallen short.Hard to believe but my county of Roscommon haven't won a senior championship match in Croke park since August 1980. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2406 - 04/08/2021 15:57:15 2367620 Link

Yeah, we need rid of Joyce , an emotional appointment who is very much out of his depth in managing a Senior intercounty football team. I still think with the right management the current Galway panel are still better than the current Mayo panel and should have won the connacht final a few weeks back BilboNaggins (Galway) - Posts: 59 - 04/08/2021 16:01:35 2367621 Link

Hi new here, and looking forward to this one in a big way. No bigger challenge than the Dubs in Croker on a Saturday evening. Only for the crowd restrictions, the atmosphere would be electric as always. Personally feel its a bridge too far without Cillian. Dublin probably ever so slightly on the wane, but the return of Small and Murchan really strengthens the core of that team. With fantastic athletes and ball players in all positions, i'd expect them to prevail owing to their vast experience of closing out tight games. Mayo defence is still too leaky, and we are guraunteed to concede the usual 2 goals in a big game in Croker, which will be too much to claw back against the Dubs. This game is bad news for Kerry imo, I expect Dublin to beat us, and then be finely tuned to deflate the Kerry hype. Flyingintraining (Mayo) - Posts: 13 - 04/08/2021 17:24:13 2367665 Link
