Howya pal, I wasn't expecting that, no one was. But saying Kerry will get within single digits is a bit wild. I'm still convinced Kerry will win that game if it happens. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 28/05/2022 19:14:58 2420670 Link 4 |
Get rid of the Munster and Leinster championships in football, it's a joke. Throw Kerry in with Connacht and the Dubs in with Ulster! Both counties to play all their provincial games away for the first 10 years. There is a precedent i.e. the Galway hurlers in Leinster! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1819 - 28/05/2022 19:19:10 2420673 Link 0 |

There's a lot of teams today that should be ashamed and embarrassed at their effort and attitude. Kikdare and limerick were pathetic wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1687 - 28/05/2022 19:46:22 2420678 Link 2 |
Kildare were in the game last year against Kildare. They had a game plan at least . Dublin just breezed through the kildare defence with no intensity from Kildare. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 28/05/2022 19:56:20 2420682 Link 0 |
Yeah Kildare vs Kildare. That's about the only time Kildare have a chance in a big game when they are playing thenselves.

Embarrassing, never laid a glove on them. No game should be over within 5 mins of the start but this game was. It was a final too. The defending errors and leaving Dublin so open and uncontested on their runs, that's unforgivable and we coughed up goals. Hard earned cash for whole family of tickets to see us do this, not acceptable I'm afraid. Think an awful lot of Kildare done with Croker at this stage. Just on a hiding playing the Dubs, better off mowing the lawn. Kildare30 (Kildare) - Posts: 603 - 29/05/2022 09:22:43 2420709 Link 1 |
I don't recall us ever taking a trimming against the Dubs come championship like Kildare did today. Even in 2019, we lost by ten but were actually winning the game at half-time. And if you're starting the counter from this year's league, you're lying to yourself. When was the last time Kildare ran the Dubs close in the championship? 2009? There are some people on here who need to start looking at the issues with their own county set ups, rather than using Mayo as a crutch.

Hard luck. I knew this was gonna happen dubs are not on same level as 90% of us. I know if I had commented this on this thread prior to this I'd by called everything under sun . While in rivalry terms Kildare are our rivals. I was genuinely hoping you would put it up to them. I knew it would be impossible to win. But to end up with similar defeat to ourselves just proves we both still a long way away.

That's the supporter in ur self my old pal. (Cautious) I watched both games last day. Westmeath could run through Kildare defense with too much ease. Meath backs couldn't get a hand on any Dublin player. We were gone after 10 minutes, I foresaw same fate for Kildare and it happened exactly like I thought .I took dubs minus 9 on pp. (now I didn't think they'd actually be beat more than us) but that's what happened. As for Kerry yes they will give you a game , in that there is no doubt, but Dublin as a team are awesome, the best I have seen them in a long long time , I recall a match (think it was micko last ) where I was up in corporate box and it was like a blue wave, poetry in motion, I said on here at time the greatest I have ever seen, the only thing to match that was the semi final this year, and yesterday. I'm gonna be honest with you, Meath had a indifferent league but we ain't as bad as Dublin made us look and the same can be said for Kildare . Kerry are by some distance the best of the rest. But in all honesty I can't see them winning, Dublin by 5. And that will be the closest anyone gets near you this year. I've been watching football near on half a century and I just can't see how Kerry can beat you. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 29/05/2022 10:04:45 2420715 Link 1 |
Had same feelings after the semifinal. Take a week and hope for a enticing draw in rd 2. Who knows if we get past clare. A Meath Kildare game would get the juices flowing again for us all.

Last years final performance was pathetic form Mayo and I wouldn't be surprised if monaghan beat us next weekend. However despite not winning Sam our performances in big games have been excellent in the past 10 years. Kildare are not Carlow or Wicklow. Ye have a massive population, resources and cash available. Ye should be doing so much better. I'll throw Meath into that as well. Dublin are running rings around ye. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 29/05/2022 10:31:51 2420722 Link 1 |
We poked the bear. I never believed Dublin were gone away. If the much anticipated Dublin v Kerry semi final happens this year I'd back Dublin to come out on top.

It was more than 10 but I'm not shocked. This was always on the cards, Dublin and Tyrone have issues, I know Tyrone have been hit and miss this season but that Dublin performance in Omagh during the first half told me Dublin are holding something back, but just couldn't be anything but motivated against Tyrone so gave us a hint of what was to come. They're a serious team who give up the league this season for whatever reason, to me it's about the All Ireland and as things stand only Kerry could possibly stop them but even that is unlikely. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 29/05/2022 11:08:49 2420728 Link 0 |

We're moving the ball a lot quicker and our passing is very crisp but we can't replace the quality we've lost over the last couple of years. In fairness to Farrell he has got their attention so it seems. The QFs will be a potential minefield with Mayo and Monaghan in there! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 29/05/2022 11:35:17 2420736 Link 1 |

Dublin looked awesome yesterday and maybe now some people might give Dessie a break. He was on a hiding to nothing coming in after Jim but he has nt done bad. I'm not sure Dublin would have won all ireland in 2020 under Jim. A win ní g team that reaches its goal get stale a d it takes defeat to bring back hunger. Yes Dubs were poor during the league but they were missing alot of players.. Now its the championship that really matters and Dublin look so strong again. Dessie has brought in Lahiff and Lee Gannon and Costello finally showing his true worth under Dessie. Now tbf Kildare s defense looked weak but great credit has to go to Dublin and to Dessie. On Kildare in fairness to them they battled away and never threw in the towel like many teams would have. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3678 - 29/05/2022 14:33:35 2420752 Link 1 |
