Does the fact that 2 of Dublins victories in their 3 in a row success came against Mayo tarnish what would otherwise be a great achievement? Discuss! Lifford Gael (Donegal) - Posts: 1925 - 17/09/2017 18:15:51 2046842 Link
Replying To Lifford Gael: "Does the fact that 2 of Dublins victories in their 3 in a row success came against Mayo tarnish what would otherwise be a great achievement? Discuss!" Against an unbelievably good mayo team? A mayo team that in a different era could have several all irelands. Stupid comment. jj72 (Kildare) - Posts: 53 - 17/09/2017 18:21:00 2046850 Link

In the 2000s Kerry won 4 of there all ireland playing both Cork and Mayo twice, does that tarnish there achievement? PyatPree (Cork) - Posts: 376 - 17/09/2017 18:22:48 2046853 Link

Football wise not at all, Mayo are a fine side who have really put it up to Dublin. Off field yes tarnished because of the massive unfair advantage and favouritism they get from Croke Park, officials and the media. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9701 - 17/09/2017 19:20:12 2046907 Link

The two curses of the gael, alcohol and begrudgery. The latter is well and truly alive here. Dublin won a deserved all-ireland in a tight game, a terrific game of football. They are deserving winners. In a one point loss the losing team will have many plays that might have changed the result. Stephen Rochford was so gracious in defeat, he kept saying it's Dublin's day. Mayo seem to be the only county with the balls to go out and take on Dublin without any whining. The majority of Leinster teams can't even get themselves into physical shape let alone mentally.

Dumbest thread. Was Kilkenny wins tarnished because Waterford never showed up? Or cork spent more time on strike than playing? Tipperary having managerial issues? Wise up. Rohanhorsemaste (Tipperary) - Posts: 26 - 17/09/2017 19:35:01 2046922 Link

Pathetic and spiteful thread, especially coming from a poster from a county that has won less All-Irelands in every grade of football than Mayo. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 17/09/2017 20:27:35 2046966 Link

The two victories over Mayo came in a period where Dublin beat every team in Leinster out the gate - comfortably beat Tyrone , Monaghan and Donegal and beat Kerry although were under pressure for 35 minutes Mayo only team to give them a tight game (x3) do I'm not sure I follow your logic ? ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 17/09/2017 21:08:41 2047007 Link

Yes it does poor teams when best teams were Tyrone and Armagh - they must have taken a holiday then. IrishGael3 (USA) - Posts: 1092 - 17/09/2017 21:11:00 2047010 Link
Had Dublin played any other opposition today they'd have won that game by 10 plus points in third gear. They really had to work for their win today in what was an exciting game of football in an otherwise dull enough championship. Royalace (Meath) - Posts: 121 - 17/09/2017 21:11:01 2047011 Link
It is tarnished in that a lot of their players seem to take more than 4 paces with the ball. And get away with it. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 17/09/2017 21:14:20 2047014 Link

Is that some slight on Mayo? They deserve more respect than that. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 17/09/2017 21:17:11 2047019 Link
