Ice Age warriors love to beat the ***** out of their drums.I cant even cope with lads belting bodhrans in the hill so if i see a warrior laden down with a drum i'm out of there like Linford Cristie.Am i the only one that has sensitive ears?(:

The P.A. system in Croke Park is enough to drive me to drink as it is.

Listening to fellas walloping drums through it would be more than I could cope with.

Trust me if you had to pay 700km worth of petrol/diesel 4/5 times a year(not to mention the other costs involved) you'd change your condescending tone fairly quickly. Everyone doesn't has as easy that they can want stroll down whenever they want to Croke Park and not have to worry about all the above. you should enjoy those privileges not belittle others who do not have them

I think some of the kerry boyos forget very quickly that the last twice Dublin travelled to killarney we actually outnumbered Kerry supporters and sure ye only had to stroll down to Fitzgerald stadium then as ye like to put it. Don't get this myth that dubs don't travel as just look at our league games last few years we have had large travelling support on several occasions outnumbering home support. Plus if this final was on in killarney you would still only get the hardcore kerry supporters turning up you wouldn't see a big increase regardless.

Ah I don't think the PA system in Croker is all that bad,

Have you guys gone to any Irish national/club rugby matches lately?

It's horrendous what they try and do, particularly in the Aviva.

Was there for the Munster/Leinster match last year and felt like walking out: idiotic music blaring out ever second minute, that really REALLY annoying announcer that comes on. I felt it was quite sad that rugby is going down this really tacky, Americanized style of thing.

Hopefully the GAA won't fall into that trap.

Agree 100% ,
Reason I was posing the question wasn't a how much do you love your team sort of thing , more if you really believe the completion is worthless then I can see ( not agree) why a fella cant be bothered ,

I was at those games in Killarney and that isn't even close to being true (Plus thats 2 games in the last 5/6 years not multiple trips a year- try going to Valentia and back in the same day!) Indeed according reports on other websites there was a very small Dublin crowd at the recent U21 final in Navan, now I wasn't there so i cant say anymore but dont throw stones at those less well off it's not as if we have a hole in our pocket dying to throw out money at will.

Kerry had beaten us '79,83 & 84 All Irelands so it was a big deal to finally get one over on them.

Incorrect. Kerry had beaten Dublin in 78,79,84 and 85. Kerry didn't make it out of Munster in '83. Dublin played Cork in All-Ireland semi-final (replay in Cork) that year. Dublin beat Galway in "Brawl-Ireland" final in '83.

Back in the day you wouldn't see a Kerryman near Croke Pk before September!

Except for Con Houlihan in his usual spot on the Canal End.

And quite right too.
Like ourselves there is turf to be saved, crops to be tended to, hay to be won.
Can't be gallivanting off to Cromer at every turn about.
By late Sept most of the hard graft is done & then & only then can a self respecting Kerry man think of trips East.

How the hell did heroin come into a discussion on Dublin v Kerry.I thought Cocaine was the drug of choice for lads on the Hill (:

Heroin must be the drug of choice for those of us that sit in the the stand then?!

you say thats two games in the past 5 years
you do realise dublin play other counties away from home in the league too?
we outnumbered cork in pairc ui rinn only a couple weeks before the match in killarney last year aswell.
haha what are you like bringing a different team entirely into it by suggesting a small crowd at an underage game
sure you could turn around and say the same about kerry in hurling at that rate as its a different team too.
where do you get that all people from dublin are rich?
im far from it pal probably less well off if truth be known.
but i enjoy supporting dublin so instead of wasting money on alcohol or cigarettes or other things people spend money on
I decide to spend it on supporting dublin as my enjoyment.
Hardly makes me rich just makes sense to me.
