Replying To KingdomBoy1:  "You're wrong, the opposite has actually been proved over the last 6 years with all those 6 teams failing to beat the dubs in the championship."
How am I wrong ? I said they are capable !! Kerry could and should have beaten Dublin in 2019
Mayo should have beaten Dublin once/possibly twice
It is you that is wrong , Dublin are very beatable.

They weren't capable though were they? They didnt beat dublin and that's a proven fact so therefore you are wrong.

It'll be the same story this year but we'll revisit this again when or if there is a championship.

Open draw with back door!! Would be great. Play it off every weekend. Be over in a few weeks. Have Friday night, Sat, Sunday games. TV it all and stream.

Again you are wrong , Kerry and Mayo were "capable" of winning , and along with the other counties mentioned
are " capable " of beating Dublin this year .

Perhaps they were capable but in their attempts to beat Dublin they were found not to be competent!....proof of pudding etc etc!

Like that idea even if they had to wait until winter months. I'd even play some matches midweek if time was against them. Something to look forward to over winter.

You can say Mayo and Kerry are capable of drawing with dublin because we have done that but we haven't proved we're capable of beating dublin.

So you're wrong.

I'd be more than happy with that too. Would be quite fascinating to see it play out.

Again you are wrong , i never said any of the mentioned teams will beat Dublin ,
I said they are "capable" of beating Dublin . We will just have to wait and see if it happens this year -:)

Have you any proof that any of those 6 teams you mentioned are "capable" of beating dublin? If you have the proof then show it.

If you can't prove it then you are wrong.

That's a silly question. "Capable" means a team has the ability to beat another team. It does nt mean they will but the have the capabilities of doing so. To ask for proof is pure silly. Yes there are a few teams capable of beating Dublin. They might do it or they might not but they are capable. There are many teams that are not capable of doing so and some that are and Superblue is correct.

Also before last year's championship although most people gave Cork no hope of beating Kerry alot of us on the Kerry forum were wary of Cork cos we knew they were capable of beating us. We had no proof as you don't need proof to be capable and then Cork did beat us. Why? They were rank outsiders. Answer because they were capable.

It may not be the cast that club football won't be allowed until much later in the year if a tall.

Would have to agree with you here. Until there is proof in the results then there is no debate that one team is superior.

He is just as wrong as those who would even question the fact that Tyrone were Kerry's masters in the noughties. I'm sure you'll agree as there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.

I think he means the 6 counties combined may beat Dublin because I don't have one clue where he gets the evidence that the likes of cork couldn't beat Dublin

Not sure what that has to do with the debate but yes I can't argue with you there. Tyrone played Kerry 3 times in the noughties and won 3 times so yes they were our masters that decade. However I would still say Kerry were the team of the decade. Kerry lost to 4 teams that decade (Tyrone Cork Meath and Armagh). Tyrone lost to 7 teams (Armagh Donegal Derry Cork Sligo Meath and Laois). Tyrone won 3 all Irelands and Kerry won 5.

100% Tyrone were better than us and we were incapable of beating them in the championship in the 00s.

As for "hearsay" Ciarraímick above : sure proving stuff has never bothered you on here mick, the only thíng you've really proved is that YOU don't need proof of anything once YOU can say a "friend" told you, sure didn't a "friend" tell YOU that my county board voted to keep dublin in Croke Park? But again you had no proof.

Your only going with a gut feeling as there is no proof whatsoever that any of those 6 teams are capable of beating the dubs until someone beats them the dubs are incapable of been beat.
