Redfoot for a county who needed two Kildare men to win them an all Ireland I'd keep it shut and don't forget '10 when Lucan man Alan O Conor won you's Sam, so that's no all Ireland's in the last 40 years not great for a county with a pop of half a million people ouch. And don't start with hurling its been a 3 team comp for over a 100 years hardly a great achievement winning that.

1469926 I would like to see Kerry win, putting up with whinging dubs for a few weeks, is by far preferable to listening to gloating dubs for a whole year.

bryanadams
your the biggest whinge on this site.

1469930 Kerry for me. They were unpopular for a while but I think they were unjustly treated in 2011 final.
----------------------------------

Eh what?

Kerry 2011
7 mins to go
4 points up
Fluff a 'hot-ball' throw up from a reverse decision Dublin free.
Concede 1-03 to lose by a point

......if thats called 'unjustly treated' then you have not got a clue about football lad!

I think he is referring to the soft free and twenty steps Mcmenamins barging goal.

Tompkins and Fahy were living and working in Cork (and still are)

But on many of those 15 AIs that pad Dublins record there was barely a Dub on the team at all!

Culshies played with their club down the country and then played with Dublin!

I think it would be fairer to Dublin that those 15 titles were expunged, then Dublin would not be regarded as a superpower which they have great trouble living up to.
Dubs would be thankful with the weight off their shoulders

Mate you's have won no football all Ireland in 40 years with a pop of half a million that's not very good.

Dublin in the semi Final and Final. Good for the sport to see Dubs doing well.

Oh dear me. Tough one.
Dublin probably will win. But that will mean Mayo win all ire. If Kerry get to final they will win it.

Hmmm I'll remain neutral. For the time been.

Dublin all the way, place of my birth and easily the most exciting football team in Ireland. However it's very hard not to want Mayo to win the final, think even the most hardened Dublin fan wouldn't begrudge Mayo an All Ireland win.

Dublin all the way. If Kerry ever win any All Ireland again it will be too soon, even the ploughing championships.

I would - whether or not they were playing the Dubs.

gilly2308, you should have added, who are not still bitter about taking a hiding from them last year...

3 points is a hiding? So Mayo did get a hiding off Donegal in the final so.

Dublin v Mayo have provided some great games over the years including the all-ireland semi-finals of 1985, 2006, 2012 so hopefully if this is the final it would be the same. Both Mayo and Dublin have been the most enjoyable teams to watch this year.

I'm hoping for a Dublin win as I think both the team and Jim Gavin deserve it for more or less going back to the traditional style of football.

Redfoot, country players did not play with their clubs down the country and then with Dublin. The reason Dublin teams from late 20s to early 40s were dominated by country players was that GAA had a rule that you had to play for the county you lived in. At that stage many of the best hurlers and footballers in country were teachers or Free State army soldiers or Gardai living in Dublin. Only all Dubs clubs to break dominance of county championships by Garda, Army Metro, teachers, Civil Service and UCD between late 20s and early 50s when Vinnies came good were Joeys and O'Tooles.

Worth bearing in mind that throughout the country dominance of Dublin county teams they only won two All Irelands - football in 1942 (about 60:40 country to Dubs) and hurling in 1938 when Jim Byrne was only Dub. So it was of no benefit to Dublin really.
