Dublin's selfless attitude and 'no d****d' policy has them ahead of the curve, Stupid comment to make unless he has an insight to all the Counties and totally ignoring the big blue elephant standing in the corner. Offside_Rule (Antrim)** - Posts: 4058 - 19/10/2019 12:20:57 2244342 Link
Replying To tiobraid: "Not the only team but one of the few top teams. There's huge egos in other teams who queue up to give interviews and talk about themselves as much as possible." We all know the top team managers give a few bland and boring interviews and allow a few selected players to do the same. What do you mean by 'huge egos in other teams'? Can you give an example? Most of the interviews are regurgitated cliches. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1790 - 19/10/2019 12:43:42 2244349 Link
Replying To yew_tree: "I don't doubt Dublin are egoless, driven but also extremely talented. As Brian Coady said recently, who and self interest infects a dressing room and destroys it....but and I've seen this raised by commentators and fans said countless times....I'd hazard a guess most county teams (successful) ones are egoless...we all hear how great dublin players are with the homeless, the sick, visiting people in hospital and nursing homes.... It's great and they are a credit to themselves and their families BUT other county teams and players also do all of this. Brolly in his recent interview with Dion Fanning also touched on Dublin but also took a swipe at Mayo in this subject....I don't know why they feel the need to keep repeating this." It's all about bowing the the top dog, the slave mentality. baire (Galway) - Posts: 1790 - 19/10/2019 13:32:12 2244357 Link

Replying To hamsterdean: "He was just laying down a marker." I never liked Kennelly, he always came across as arrogant, what he did to Nicholas Murphy and the dancing on the podium after the 09 final was a total joke. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 19/10/2019 15:08:55 2244371 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "I never liked Kennelly, he always came across as arrogant, what he did to Nicholas Murphy and the dancing on the podium after the 09 final was a total joke." I wouldn't be one bit surprised if you could look back the same posters on here now singing his praises would have said something similar to whst you've said in 2009 oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 19/10/2019 16:36:39 2244390 Link
Never warmed to him either, a bit sure of himself and lacked self awareness gahfan (Wexford) - Posts: 636 - 19/10/2019 16:37:53 2244391 Link
There are literally hundreds like him. Former players with an opinion. I don't get why he is being quoted here or that his view even merits a thread. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 20/10/2019 13:49:19 2244538 Link
Replying To Donegalman: "There are literally hundreds like him. Former players with an opinion. I don't get why he is being quoted here or that his view even merits a thread." Much like your own Martin McHugh! DUBJOHN (Dublin) - Posts: 932 - 21/10/2019 20:45:28 2244861 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "I never liked Kennelly, he always came across as arrogant, what he did to Nicholas Murphy and the dancing on the podium after the 09 final was a total joke."

Replying To DUBJOHN: "Much like your own Martin McHugh!" And if in the morning he had an article about Dublin you agreed with he'd be the greatest man ever oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 21/10/2019 22:12:52 2244875 Link
Replying To DUBJOHN: "Much like your own Martin McHugh!" Or any of the hundreds of others you care to mention. My point would be the same. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 21/10/2019 23:41:20 2244884 Link
Replying To Donegalman: "Why would anyone feel the need to fly a thread like this? It is an absolutely nothing thread." Agreed truly pathetic. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 22/10/2019 10:36:08 2244912 Link
Replying To greysoil: "Agreed truly pathetic." Look at who started it and you'll get your answer. Now that he hasn't got the reaction he wants he's no where to be seen oneoff (UK) - Posts: 1380 - 22/10/2019 16:47:37 2244996 Link
Hmmm and theres me thinking it got the exact reaction I was after What reaction do you think I wanted? I just found it funny that Mr Kennelly was praising Dublin so much after the efforts he went to in the pinching of his own county's upcomings, which he was lambasted by his own for.. something he's very aware of I'm sure. It's almost as if he was trolling his own with his comments celebrating Dublin not really that long after the final Seems like a fella very comfortable with himself and I see that doesn't sit well with some :) jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/10/2019 20:59:00 2245064 Link
Replying To Donegalman: "There are literally hundreds like him. Former players with an opinion. I don't get why he is being quoted here or that his view even merits a thread." You asked a question so I'll answer it I found his comments to be off considering he pinched some of Kerry's best prospects I found it amusing to see him praising Dublin after he was so actively involved in weakening Kerry's prospects I was being tongue in cheek. Can't speak for anyone else's comments though Kennelly must know well how he's perceived by many in his own county So his comments at this time were a bit odd Almost as if he couldn't care less jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 22/10/2019 21:39:22 2245082 Link

You must be delighted, good for you. At least you are honest about it, eventually. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 22/10/2019 23:07:43 2245118 Link
What Kennelly did in the 2009 final was one of the worst, dirty hits you will ever see on a sports field. What was the reaction of the media and many within the GAA world?? " Ahhhh Shhhurrrrr, 'tis a man's game, isn't it great to see Tadgh winning All Ireland and Aussie Rules Championships". It was scandalous. If that had been a Tyrone, Armagh, Donegal or Meath player he and his county would have been ripped apart and declared Public Enemy No.1.
