Hard luck Mayo gave it a great shot in the first half but that 15 minute blast by Dublin just wow reithi (Kerry) - Posts: 52 - 10/08/2019 20:42:05 2223617 Link 1 |
Could I also add that I thought Conor Lane was excellent in the middle. I think he got nearly everything right. We are all quick to point out bad reffing performances so I just thought it was worth a mention. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 10/08/2019 20:42:35 2223619 Link 8 |
A best 15 from Tyrone and Kerry wouldn't hold a candle to this Dublin team. Absolutely phenomenal collection of players. I honestly don't know what to think about our lads playing Kerry tomorrow. Yes it would be great to get to another AI final but in reality every single person knows the outcome already. This current Kerry outfit haven't really been tested at the highest level yet so maybe they have it in them to cause an upset but I seriously doubt it. One thing for sure is that if it's ourselves up against the Dubs then it's a quest for 6. bigboon (Tyrone) - Posts: 50 - 10/08/2019 20:45:44 2223621 Link 1 |
It wouldn't have affected the result but why did James Goran take so long to make changes in the second half? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7337 - 10/08/2019 20:50:25 2223633 Link 7 |
Sorry for being so tetchy! They do serious individual fitness programs and follow them, coupled with being excellent natural athletes. But when you look, for I stance how high they can jump from a squat it is scary! All I know is whatever they doing they doing it right. Many in Dublin (clubs) are trying to replicate it at club level but with limited success, has to be done to just an exceptional bunch of players, the like I won't see again in my life time.

Of course it's a golden generation of talent. That's what's happening but it's easier to blame than see that as the reality. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 10/08/2019 21:08:03 2223644 Link 1 |
Yeah a good sign when no one moaning about ref. Was excellent

He was top of the pops. As good anyone could have been. Not a bad year all told, NFL champs and in top 3 or 4 in the country. Disappointed with COC , sent off yet again. Expect 4 or 5 to call it a day after many years great service

Hard to remember a team playing so well in the first half being absolutely demolished in 10 minutes after the break. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 10/08/2019 21:16:00 2223654 Link 2 |
Don't know how you can still be excited about dublin games to be honest, hammering sides can't be much fun. Was at the leinster final I'd say there was no more then a couple of thousand dublin fans there when the trophy was lifted. I'd say following dublin sides in the 00's was more exciting with full houses and close games even if ye lost a few.

Jack has problems understanding this hence all the posts. Calm down now jack and enjoy one of the best football teams we have been lucky to watch. Alas not you jack .

Mind you if social media was with us 38 yrs ago people would have said the same thing about Kerry. They looked unbeatable back in '81. Up to the rest of us to bring Dublin back to the pack. I look forward it to happening some day.

No need to apologise, i appreciate being educated. They are exceptional, there ability to turn it up a few notches is a sight to see. People saying its the death of football, i disagree, i think it will push other counties to try and reach a new level. Dec82 (Clare) - Posts: 242 - 10/08/2019 21:25:49 2223666 Link 2 |
Was more exciting for Meath when you were battering us. Personally I prefer winning.

I don't think the poster said that. My take on it us that the poster sees Donegal as a young team.

Thought Fenton was unreal in second half. What a player. Once Dublin get control in the middle you can only hold con o'c and friends for so long. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1826 - 10/08/2019 21:42:45 2223676 Link 3 |
