Dunphy doesn't seem to be too enamoured with a few dubs and the team in general. I think he might be bringing his soccer approach with talk of a team being loved to the table. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 23/09/2017 10:06:38 2049520 Link 0 |
Poor old Eamon got a quick handshake and wasn't made to feel very important i'd say. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4441 - 23/09/2017 10:46:44 2049530 Link 0 |
This is a big concern. Can't wait to hear what else Eammo has to say. poguemahone (Dublin) - Posts: 365 - 23/09/2017 10:51:53 2049534 Link 0 |

Good ol' Dunphy, I remember during the 80s he wrote something regarding Brian Mullins. One day shortly after they crossed paths at the entrance to Independent House in Abbey St and Mullins let him know what he thought of him and Dunphy scarpered on down the road shitting himself lol :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 23/09/2017 13:55:58 2049583 Link 5 |
Stick with the soccer Eamonn. The Dublin footballers will focus on football. They are excellent fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 597 - 23/09/2017 14:32:32 2049593 Link 6 |
From Balbriggan to Kippure and from Lucan to the North Wall they'll be loved. What the rest of country or the odd crank thinks doesn't matter one iota. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13693 - 23/09/2017 14:49:13 2049598 Link 5 |
The dubs are alright apart from the odd gouger!

his opinion seems to counteract Brolly's write up last week. Maybe RTE should arrange a debate show between the pair of them. Be a good laugh ahead of a long winter. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 23/09/2017 15:09:06 2049605 Link 0 |
They seem like decent enough lads. There are probably a couple of big-headed types on the team but that's the way of the world really. Must be hard not to get carried away with yourself if you're winning All-Irelands all the time. MichaelO (Tyrone) - Posts: 820 - 23/09/2017 15:09:18 2049606 Link 3 |

oh how these dubs must yearn to be loved, just like tyrone, meath Cork etc. The only champs whoever get the love is kerry and kilkenny, pure adoration and no questions asked lilypad (Kildare) - Posts: 1363 - 23/09/2017 15:28:10 2049610 Link 2 |

I don't understand this love thing, being a Dubs supporter for many year, I think this Dublin team is by far the most loved, admired acknowledged and respected nationally l have have ever seen. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4441 - 23/09/2017 17:30:39 2049645 Link 0 |
I find the current Dublin players to be a respectful bunch off the pitch. Dunphy is of The Ban generation and this probably colours his view of the GAA somewhat. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 23/09/2017 18:03:30 2049652 Link 0 |
is this the same Eamon Dunphy who changed his mind on Ronaldo, John Hume, U2 and Roy Keane to name a few? avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 23/09/2017 18:14:06 2049653 Link 1 |
Does Dunphy not live in that area? Anyway I'm sure there are one or two that are not nicest, just like i'm sure there are genuine, nice and good hearted people on that team. A team is made up of a collection of individuals with different personalities. You will always get on better with some people than others no matter what you do. I'm sure you have all played on teams, worked with or socialised in circles with people you just don't like. Maybe Dunphy came across someone who wasn't a nice guy, maybe they are a nice guy but just weren't his cup of tea. Anyway it is of no relevance. Dunphy made a sweeping statement, no heed should be paid to it. I don't understand the Dubs losing their rag either defending every Dublin player to the hilt. There are fermanagh players that I know that are idiots, there are others that are nice guys. Dubs, no need to take it so personally. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 23/09/2017 18:58:32 2049673 Link 0 |
it is a bit strange yes...a lot of fanboys on here...speaking as someone who knows a good few of the lads on the team personally...i honestly think people feel more involved by defending everyone to the hilt
