Congrats to team and all the Dubs on here, 4 in a row is a magnificent achievement. These are the good days lads, enjoy them as I think its inevitable that this cycle will come to an end at some stage.
6 time winners now include Cluxton, Mick Fitz, Philly McMahon, Cian O'Sullivan, James McCarthy, Mick McCauley, Paul Flynn, Kevin McMannamon, Eoghan O'Gara, Bernard Brogan, Darren Daly, Paddy Andrews.
I think they'll all give it at least one more season for the chance to win 5 in a row, but I do think after next season, going into the new decade we'll see a big change.
But look, this isn't the time for that debate. Its been a disappointing season in terms of competitiveness but next season is set up to be a hum dinger. If I'm right, Dublin and Kerry will be sharing a group in the super 8's. Kerry will have another rake of young lads to integrate into their team along with a new manager that could very well bring a whole new dynamic to their team. Mayo will be back with a strong core of a team with a new manager who could bring something new to the party.
All the pressure will be on Dublin, immortality awaits them!!

Well done to the Dubs, the best team out there by a distance at the mo.

Hard to see the drive for five being stopped at this point and it will probably take a few years for Kerry's young guns (Clifford aside) to fully develop.

Best team on the day, Fair Play Dublin. Tyrone like the rest of us need to mark the likes of Ciaran Kilkenny with his cross 45 line metre strolls, no system can beat this Dublin team, 15x15 time again, time to pronounce the Mc Guinness/Harte or Galway hybrid systems etc as d.o.a. to win an Ireland. Need to mark up especially at kickouts. Mark up.
Dublin have great efficiency in front of the posts. Dublin, enjoy the celebrations and thank you for saving the game.

Well done Dublin. From the 20th minutes on they were excellent. Without doubt my favorite top tier team to watch. They also seem like a great bunch of guys.

Enjoy the celebrations Dublin posters

Well done to the Dubs, they really are an outstanding team, one of the best ever without question. Tyrone battled well yesterday but in all honesty Dublin were never in danger, they could have won that game by 10pts+ if they were in the mood, that's the scary thing about it.

Will they get 5 in a row? Hard to know, but as it stands, it's going to take something very special to stop them.

The scary thing about yesterday was that Dublin won it at a canter.

Its a An All Ireland final dealt with in the same manner as an early round Leinster game.

Its a domination of the game in reality and im sure people will say no no its not, all a phase etc etc etc but when Dublin started dominating Leinster to the same extent the same arguments were being made and look at where we are now.

Fair play to Dublin, Sam Maguire is theirs for as long as they really want it imho.

Congrats to Dublin on the 4 in a row. They have probably cemented their claim as the greatest of all time now.

Listening to off the ball last night and I was struck by something I think it was wille joe padden said , he believes Jim Gavin to be incredibly under rated For the job he's done ,his point being to keep 35 players happy and motivated for as long as he has in the capital with the media and distractions , it's only when he has to be replaced Dublin will have a wobble , few coaches could do the job he's done , what's held against him is that he makes it look easy and doesn't seek publicity ,his stamp as a man is all over the squad if you ever meet players away from the pitch , they are humble and feel privileged, in this day and age that's as fine an achievement as any all Ireland, of course I'm sure there's many on here think it's easy and they could do the job themselves, but that's the problem with democracy you have listen to a gobshi7

Fair play and well done on yer 4th in a row.
It'll shorten the winter and I'm sure all the talk will be of 5 shortly. Well we know what happened the last time.
Don't go printing any tshirts too soon.

Well done Dublin, winning 4 in a row when 2 in a row is very tough these days is some achievement.

Haven't had a chance to be on here much lately but i do want to register my congratulations to Dublin. Fine team, fine manager and heading far into the history books. Well done.

Fair play for the kind words on here

My tongue in cheek GOAT thread thankfully got the response that I was going for! Might as well have a laugh before the copy and paste merchants got their chance..

It was a great day, great view from up the top of the canal end, could see all the positioning and runs off the ball. I'll be back there.

Incredible achievement in the modern game where back to backs are so difficult to achieve.

Dublin have just done a back to back back to back..

To think of the intense battles they've come through to achieve such this decade.. it makes it feel like 8 in a row

It's been incredibly competitive and that makes it so much worthwhile. Winning so many games that could have gone the other way.. it takes so much commitment and desire to come through so many battles like that and they now find themselves breaking a 100 year old record and currently sit at 28 games unbeaten in the championship.

A magnificent achievement that has never been seen before.

Another treble winning season

Another record now owned by Dublin

6 in a single decade no ones done that in over 100 years (Dublin)

4 in a row

Simply great.
