I have to pull you up on that! Connolly will be remembered as an all time great. He is a truly wonderful player. Why do you think manager, players and commentators with loyalty elsewhere target him?

All about opinion. Everyone entitled to theirs. Class act with so many gifts but I am still struggling to remember his big performances on the biggest days. And his frustrations often get the better of him. Not going to get into a debate on players but if I had to pick any 6 forwards in the last 20 years he wouldn't make my team. Just my opinion. Bernard B would.

Diarmuid was excellent in the the 2011 final, his ball retention at peak times was incredible, man of the match in the famous 2013 semi V Kerry, and got hugely important scores in the semi V Kerry last year. He practically won an AI club final by himself, not bad!

Maybe just maybe you should concentrate on your own counties problems ?? You seam to have a huge interest in anything Dubin related, sad really .

2011? Hmmm? Sorry not having that. Scoreless and quiet enough if I remember? 2013 semi in patches. 2013 final quiet. 2015 final quiet. 2016 final quiet twice. I have seen him do very little against Mayo now on multiple occasions on the biggest day. Again not doubting his class but the Dubs seem to hold him above other players who have offered far more on the biggest day. Ciaran McDonald won a club All Ireland on his own too by the way, it has been done.

Hermie me auld flower, ye can be as ready as ye want. Truth is, come summer , come do or die, we are too good for ye. Ye are just not up to our level. That's just how it is buddy.

If I ever hit 5000 posts il let you know the hermit :-) Brolly said having Connolly banned would suit Kerry, how Joe ? How ? We're on opposite sides of the draw so the only way we can meet is in a final if we both make it that far. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 30/06/2017 01:41:50 2007778 Link 0 |

It's not difficult to understand. If both teams reach the final Connolly will be as rusty as old nails with no training, club activity and with potentially only one competitive game, the semi, under his belt. Are you saying that playing against the best forward in the country in that condition wouldn't be advantageous to Kerry? Ha, I've heard it all now. Gway outta tha ye cute hoor ye!

It really depends on how many more Dubs Spillane can sideline between now and then Liamo. We may find that we can only field 12 players at that stage if Pat keeps picking us off. Yerra, I still fancy our chances against that yella belly outfit though :).

Yellow belly?? The greatest act of cowardness I ever saw in Croke Park was the Dublin team turning into the startled earwigs in 2009. How come with all yer greatness now ye've never managed to beat us like that?? ;D P.S Liam the louder you shout the more worried I know you are. God help your heart of it comes to a Kerry/Dublin final. I'll have to find you and give you a valum TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 30/06/2017 09:33:50 2007821 Link 0 |

And the greatest capitulation and surrender I ever saw was the Jackeens sweeping aside the yella bellies in 2011 in the final 5 mins. Ger up the yard!

Like most threads its dissolved into nothing have a look back its started out as a thread about Dublin not doing interviews which is fair and relevant conversation , its become like every other thread a chance to slate other counties , get defensive throw more mud back where it came from and it goes on and on . Any decent thread started to discuss games barely gets a mention before hand , then when result is in chance to vent that superiority/inferiority complex all over again Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 30/06/2017 11:20:05 2007868 Link 0 |
I've always been a bit of a poo stirrer There is still def a lot of threads that there's good discussion about with some excellent contributors and opinions from right across the country I enjoy the tactical side of the game and discussing such things but nothing gets this place going like a good slagging match You have to be able for it all. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 30/06/2017 11:45:37 2007880 Link 0 |
