For balance, I'll weigh in as a non Kerry man and say that 8 is more than 6.

Yes in the days when 3 games win you an All-Ireland.

This Dub team is the greatest ever and if they were on the same pitch as any of the great teams of the past they'd hammer them out the gate. It's only a modern team that would have the conditioning to keep them winning by 6/7 or less. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 02/09/2018 17:35:08 2138413 Link 0 |

Be a bit gracious like Stephen Cluxton who spent 10 years from 2001 to 2011 with no all Ireland. You sound someone who never played any serious sport and not used to handling victory and defeat.

This could be 7 or 8 in a row in all honesty. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1351 - 02/09/2018 17:59:47 2138431 Link 1 |

I'd say Dublin will reach 5 in a row but Kerry will reemerge then and things will get juicy! I'd love to see Mayo have one last go but with Seamus O'Se, Andy Moran, Colm Boyle, Keith Higgins, already in their 30s, a year older and Tom Parsons, also over 30 not likely to be back his best they really look like they will be in decline. History and tradition points to the biggest threat emerging from Kerry. Donegal with a fit McBrearty may improve. Monaghan look like they'll stay at the really good level they're at. However that level won't bother the Dubs. I don't know what to make of Galway. What's wrong.. style of play, management.. They have tradition though.. Tyrone.. will they grow from today or more than likely the standard of player is a little lower than a decade ago. Kildare, game, skillfull.. just a bit back again. So Dubs 5 in a row to make history. 2020 Kerry to challenge.. My opinion. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 02/09/2018 18:16:22 2138439 Link 0 |

Would you give over with this nonsense the last several All Ireland's kerry won going back nearly twenty years they played 6-8 games same as everyone else. It's a shame ye can't just enjoy the victory if it was my own county celebrating the last thing I'd be doing is coming on here to have a pop at another team.

Dublin are a serious team. They play the game on there terms. Tyrone made some very bad decisions today which they will regret but Dublin where well in control. Other counties need to step it up and stop moaning about Dublin having money and population. They are just an once in a lifetime team. rebeltrev (Cork) - Posts: 344 - 02/09/2018 18:17:50 2138442 Link 1 |

Wouldn't bet against it there are no really good teams around except Dublin. Can't see who will compete with them in the short term unless someone really steps up unexpectedly and even if they do the deck is stacked against you playing the Dubs in Croker every time.

Well done Dublin and congrats to the GAA/AIG and all the lotto funding for creating a development structure in the county which helps develop a squad of players from such a small population base of almost 1.5 million. It will be very disappointing given the professionalism and money pumped into Dublin GAA if they don't go on to win 10 or 15 of the next 20 All Ireland's.

This stuff is stupid because it's not the same team year in year out. But this team this year would put it up to any other team that's ever played the game and easily beat 95% of them. benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 02/09/2018 18:28:10 2138449 Link 2 |

I'm not sure I could say the greatest team of all time but this is without doubt the greatest county of the decade and up there with the greatest of all times. I can't see them not doing 5 in a row and I hope they do as they deserve it. I was there in 11 when they beat Kerry and it sent chills down my spine walking through the city after and hearing the singing all over the place. 7 years on I never thought they would lift it 5 more times, we are living in extraordinary times. It won't last but while it does enjoy it. Well done to Dublin Barrowsider (Carlow) - Posts: 1596 - 02/09/2018 18:30:15 2138450 Link 0 |

Check how many players Dublin have had in their squad over the last 6 years! Probably close on 60+ players. That's an abundance of talent that all other counties cannot compete with. Once in a life time I don't think so. It's only going to get worse. Eventually even the dub fans won't fill Croker on All Ireland final day.

This is the same old line that is trotted out time and time again by GAA apologists. The reality of course, is that is simply not a "once in a lifetime team" because the team that won the AI in 2011 hardly resembles the team today, and in fact the team that won in 2013 has only a handful of players still there, so this is a conveyor belt, not a team. It is vital to make that distinction. What more do you want counties like Mayo and Tyrone to do exactly? Maybe they could play all their games at home, it might help, maybe even the odds a little bit. The GAA have a crisis on their hands, and they know it.
