Think Kerry 4 in a row is more impressive as they used the exact same 15 players year in year out and had no subs whereas the Dublin team changed every year from 2015 to 2019.. Kerrymanlegend (Kerry) - Posts: 31 - 18/09/2019 15:05:11 2237168 Link 1 |
And they boiled their own spuds....

I was impressed with Kerry's Munster Championship. Winning a provincial title without any home games in Killarney. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7758 - 18/09/2019 15:43:44 2237183 Link 1 |
Or who won an All Ireland playing just 3 games or another through the back door or all theirs via a Hurling province. Mmmmm... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3684 - 18/09/2019 16:13:48 2237207 Link 6 |
Kerry played an average of 3/4 games to win an All Ireland back in those times hence 15/17 players was suffice . Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 18/09/2019 16:33:07 2237217 Link 2 |
I was very impressed with Kerry's Munster Championship win on the 4 in a row when they were crowned champions after just one game, yes one game!!! They won a Sam having played just 3 games. They won 2 Sams having played just 7 games. Dublin had to play 9 games this year alone to win Sam. No contest really is there? As Tomás said. The greatest of all time. I think that Kerry man should have the last word on it as he would know.

You can't compare at all. HighKings (Meath) - Posts: 271 - 18/09/2019 17:10:20 2237238 Link 5 |
In fairness the Leinster championship hasn't been remotely competitive throughout Dublin's 5 in a row either.

Sure didn't Kerry get a bye to the Munster final in the 80s. Now now Legend. Surely you know your own history lad?

Did Kerry not get a bye to the Munster Semi Final every year for the Last 100!! In a HURLING province talking about been on the pigs back.. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 18/09/2019 17:35:27 2237253 Link 3 |
Yes but skill levels, fitness levels and tactics are lightyears ahead of the hoof ball that was played in the 80s let's face it.

Jaysus, two marvelous feckin teams, we did 5 on the bounce, ye did 4. Ye had less matches to play and most of the opposition were extremely poor, I remember ye putting 9 goals past the poor auld Banner and people just raved about how good Kerry were. I'm comfortable knowing we can look each other in the eye. The records state what they state. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 18/09/2019 17:58:18 2237261 Link 11 |
Difficult to make comparisons.Kerry won all their 4 Finals easily except for the 1980 Final against Roscommon where the margin was only 3 points and Ros could have and perhaps should have won that game.Kerry had hammered Dublin in the 1978 and 1979 Finals and I think they had 7 points to spare over Offaly in the 1981 4 in a row Final.While Dublin have won 5 in a row,they only beat Kerry by 3 points in 2015 and Mayo could have beaten them in both the 2016 and 2017 Finals. Kerry had Dublin on the ropes in the drawn game but couldn't get it over the line.I wonder what Mick O'Dwyer thinks of it all.Kerry can't like it that Dublin have become the first team to do the 5 in a row. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2141 - 18/09/2019 18:32:53 2237271 Link 2 |
That was 40 years ago and the lads you mention played a few games to win an AI. On the same 15 players crack, by your logic those underage titles aren't as impressive so. Jays, I never thought of it like that until now. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 18/09/2019 18:37:36 2237272 Link 2 |
Sure. Having 3 counties in 1 is more helpful than having 1 county in 1. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7758 - 18/09/2019 18:45:39 2237273 Link 0 |
