Replying To Dubh_linn:  "Joncarter,
I would back this Dublin team against pretty much anyone.They are Warriors.
Whatever anyone says about Mayo so are they.When we win we win because we have dug it out and if we win in two weeks it will be no different.
Strength and honour."
Im not saying ye didnt deserve your success in 2013, ye did. Im just saying that what with finishing the game with 13 fit players on the pitch, and seemingly only Brogan playing well youd think mayo would have closed it out.

Donegal could say likewise however most of them are good sports in defeat.
Best teams win at end of the day

I'd forgive him the expletive that's what you get when you interview someone who's adrenalin is off the scale - the prove the naysayers wrong and damn the doubters was a bit Davy Fitz. Many pundits tipped Tipp - though if he wanted to respond to those who thought he shouldn't start he was entitled to.

Replying To avonali:  "Maybe I'm imagining things but I really thought both teams behaved like proper sportsmen.. There were big hits but little of the sledging and off the ball cynical stuff we saw last week. That's how sport should be played. Welll done Tipp ...a pity about Bubbles' expletive at the end though."
A Different game . Moves so quick there's no time for sledging etc
