Absolutely. People losing the run of themselves. Granted certain things need to change maybe even tweak. But things will go full circle and while Dublin are unlikely to go long without winning all irelands domination will come to an end.

Ah, don't mind him, he's one of the conspiracy theorists thrashing around for new excuses to explain Dublin's supremacy! Where were all these people when between 1996 and 2010 we couldn't win an All Ireland. I'll tell where they were. They were sneering and jeering the Dubs always waiting for them to fail. Most of them actually came from counties that hardly ever won a provincial title, never mind reaching an All-Ireland final. The same chatterers are now demanding that Dublin be split in two, that our funding be curtailed. Ok so, what do you want Dublin North V Dublin South meeting in an All Ireland semi final or final? And cutting our funding, please tell me how that is in any way going to help Mayo, Roscommon, Westmeath, Laois or Meath to win an All Ireland. A number of posters have called this correctly, and Graham Canty spoke about it a few days ago. …. Would it not be better to stop moaning and trying to match Dublin players fitness and commitment to their county team? Dublin can only put out 15 players on a field at any one time, the same as every other county team. Other counties need to start at juvenile level with county development squads, building up to minor, U20 and finally to senior squad. Cork, almost the perennial bridesmaids to Kerry in Munster now have a fine U 20 team (an All Ireland winning team) and they are now in the minor All Ireland final. A few years ago there were complaints that Cork footballers could never aspire to an All Ireland title.....well, they're getting there. And before the keyboard warriors say that Cork is a big county with a big population....they're right, it has a big GAA playing population, but Gaelic football in Cork has always suffered a major disadvantage being the secondary GAA sport to hurling in the Rebel County. If Cork footballers can achieve that, so can other counties. But they didn't achieve it by moaning and groaning about Dublin's Gaelic football team. Nor, I might add from feeling sorry for themselves!! PatdeVerse (Dublin) - Posts: 107 - 11/08/2019 12:57:14 2223921 Link 3 |

Don't think it's my sentence structure that's bothering you.

Ha. That's a season ticket section, populated since Jan and the bulk of these fans were in Omagh last Sun for a dead rubber. Must try harder bud. I'm sure your traveling at the moment? Safe journey.

I'm in Croke Park today with our minors. Plenty to do. He had a great game yesterday. Unstoppable at times. Doesn't change the fact he went down gripping his face and stayed down for thirty forty seconds when he wasn't touched by Keegan. But if you've no problem brushing aside this kind of un sporting behaviour then more power too you. I will never condone it. He cheated. Simple as.

What has that got to do with the incident I referenced?

Anyone else see the hand in the air Dublin players did at various times during the game? Not a point for direction, but a fist straight up in the air when they were in possession. Happened 6 or so times throughout the game. wicklu (Wicklow) - Posts: 331 - 11/08/2019 13:31:09 2223943 Link 0 |
Yep agree with you here, this bunch of players are a once in a generation group, like the kk hurlers, an exceptional bunch have arrived within a short space of each other. The day will come when they get beaten, until that day I will sit back and admire them. It hasnt happened for them in hurling because they dont have the players at the moment but who knows in a few years they may. fireinthebelly (Galway) - Posts: 89 - 11/08/2019 13:47:33 2223949 Link 2 |
Funny how you didn't mention the great game bit though before and went straight for the negative narrative. You see that's the problem with your sort you forget to even appear unbiased. Good luck now with you and enjoy your day. You might have something to cheer you up a bit if the minors can manage it.

I'm massively massively biased. No problem admitting it. Biased against people that dive. It's up there with spitting and eye gouging. Diving has been let creep into our game and nothing is been done to eradicate it . But you don't care. All you care is Dublin win. The sporting nature of the game doesn't bother you. There is more to the Gaa than just Dublin winning. But I get the feeling that doesn't concern you too much.

Watch the replay again. He clearly got struck in the face by Keegan's left arm at the end of the incident. The replay from behind the goal shows it.

Right , I see. You're just an honest to God nice guy who cares only about the sport. Pull the other one. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 11/08/2019 14:31:03 2223968 Link 0 |
By the way, you seem terribly distracted for a guy who is in Croke Park and has any interest in the game. Mmmm, it does show the real story. Try harder next time.

As you can see I replied to your comment at half time. Great win our minors. Epic. I never said anything about me being a good guy. Or any sort of guy. All you seem to want to do is deflect. So I'll ask you and no one else out straight. Do you think Con dived in the first half going down gripping his face. And so should it be condemned? I don't care about how he played. What else happened in the game or what Michael D had for his lunch. Just that incident. But I already know the answer to those questions. You just won't admit it.

Loved every minute of yesterday including the first half. Commisserations to the decent Mayo posters here Greenandred & Yew Tree to name but two. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 11/08/2019 14:58:23 2223978 Link 3 |
