Sky analysis miles ahead of RTÉ. No silly arguments. Just good solid conversation. Rolo2010 (Donegal) - Posts: 746 - 25/06/2022 18:47:42 2427453 Link 3 |

Cork doing OK. Wasting a lot of ball though. galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1704 - 25/06/2022 18:48:22 2427454 Link 0 |

This dublin team are a poor shadow of there former selves, that ourselves and kildare were out of sight of Dublin at this stage is embarrassing for two so called traditional football counties both of us should be ashamed, cork probably wont beat Dublin but kerry mayo derry galway armagh will.

It could have something to do with the fact the vast majority of folk in dublin have no interest in GAA . Hence the investment

That Dublin team was a bit better and had Jim Gavin managing them. Watching the Dubs today i'll be surprised if Mayo or Kerry don't beat them in the semi final.

Listening to Dublin game on radio. Who is analysing the game? He's very poor. Offers nothing insightful at all. Just stating the obvious, eg that was a great block, its a five point lead etc etc. Its very poor analysis. howdareu (USA) - Posts: 220 - 25/06/2022 19:01:52 2427463 Link 0 |

You listening to RTÉ radio 1? If so I agree. Very poor coverage just calling the passing with no effort to describe how the teams are set up, mentioned the wind but not how it's blowing or if one team has the weather gauge, very boring coverage. But maybe that's a symptom of the game itself. If I was from Dublin I'd be saying they beat Cork easily without moving into 2nd gear, never mind 3rd or 4th. Cork offered nothing, and Dublin's failure to find the net against them doesn't bode well. Championship is wide open this year, that's for sure. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3143 - 25/06/2022 19:39:31 2427471 Link 0 |

Definitely not as good but bet Cork easily despite facing a defensive set up. Con and McCarthy still to come back. Looked like a team that didn't need to get out of second gear.

Average from Dublin, Mayo and Kerry will be pleased. O'Callaghan and McCarthy back in that side though and its a different team, if they're back. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8678 - 25/06/2022 19:42:20 2427473 Link 3 |

Did what they expected to do today, Cork haven't the fitness to keep any defensive set up going for more than a half of football and lets not forget Cork avoided the B All Ireland by the skin of their teeth and i'd fancy both Westmeath and Cavan to beat them.

I've said it before, the football championship start at the semi final stage. I realise that the ulster championship is held in high regard in ulster. The big issue is not due to the championship structure, it is related to the level of investment that some counties can make and the level of expertise in deploying that investment properly and turning the investment into tangible results. Out of the eight teams in the quarter finals, how many can realistically win the all ireland? Dublin and Kerry? 2-3 teams out of 32 teams realistically in with a chance of winning the all ireland. I hope Derry, Armagh and Galway can prove me wrong but it is not hard to see why the intercounty football scene is dying in terms of interest. The gaps between the various level are getting wider. It is a poor product and something outside a structure change is required to repair the damage that has bern done in the last 20 years. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 2029 - 25/06/2022 20:22:12 2427484 Link 0 |

Dublin played within themselves and still won by eleven points, some people are never pleased here. Cork played to stay in the game and this worked to an extent, but they needed goals to have a chance of winning and they didn't create any chances.

Very true, the teams left in the championship will be a huge jump up from Cork. Goes to show as well, league form as meant little or nothing in this championship for a lot of teams.

Can you imagine if Peter canavan went on rte. I honestly think he'd walk off. He's a great analyser of the game and not a man for talking $h*te galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1704 - 25/06/2022 20:41:28 2427489 Link 1 |

Completely agree. Sky analysts are miles ahead in footballing knowledge and detailed scrutiny compared to the tired soundbites on RTE. Do RTE ever actually look at Sky pundits and their approach and consider replicating it for a second? The Sunday Game offering is often tired and cliched.
