Cake walk titles most of them Complete dominance and only for a push in the back would have been a very handy 5 in a row playing very few matches, and given how uncompetitive most of those were.. It's Very clear the level of opposition just weren't anywhere near good enough. A poor era. Teams playing 3 games to win an AI is ridiculous. Very large winning margins year after year. Utter dominance. Now compare that to this decade and the far superior competitive nature to the titles collected by the various winners. It's very telling that Kerry had it pretty easy. 15 games to win 4.. it took Dublin 28 to win the same amount of titles. Almost twice as difficult and zero cake walks. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 04/07/2019 16:46:29 2205522 Link

The Munster Final was the only all Division 1 final for many a year. There were 2 All-Munster All-Ireland finals. All without any state aid. Dublin have had no challenger in the Leinster Championship. All-Irelands have been won with 3 or 4 home games. 2000 was the last All-Ireland Championship before the qualifiers began. It was very fitting that Kerry won it after beating Armagh after extra time is the replay semi-final and Galway after a replay in the final. Do ye remember the 2001 quarter-final in Thurles? Kerry offered a coin toss for home advantage. Dublin wanted the neutral venue of Thurles! ;) legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7827 - 04/07/2019 17:45:25 2205550 Link

I was there at all of those semi finals and finals Jimbo. That was a brilliant team. They are the best I have ever seen. As a very young team they took out Dublin's last great team prior to this great Dublin team. Like this Dublin team they had a core of great players who lasted a long time. Kerry didn't have it easy. They had to take out a Cork team in the 70s that had won an All Ireland. They went toe to toe with a Dublin team that won 3 All Irelands in 4 years. They then beat an Offaly team that also went on to win an All Ireland. Finally they twice took out a Dublin team that won an All Ireland in 1983. Remember that there was no cushion in those days. If you lost you were out. I have attended 100 All Ireland senior finals between hurling and football. I have been at every All Ireland football final since 1972 bar the 2000 replay. No All Ireland is easily won. What you have written is deeply disrespectful to a great team. I do not deny the greatness of this Dublin team nor would I ever speak in disparaging terms of their achievements. There can be no denying that Dublin have had massive financial and logistical advantages bestowed upon them by the GAA for at least twelve years. There can also be no doubt that this is helping this great team to rebuild and perpetuate itself. Look at the results of their minor and most particularly their U 20/21 teams in this decade. What worries me is that I believe that if The GAA continue to bestow these advantages upon Dublin it will lead to the decimation of the All Ireland football championship in a manner very similar to what has happened to the Leinster senior football championship. Gaelic Games are at the core of my identity as I believe they are at the core of your identity too Jimbo. Do you want to see the All Ireland championship destroyed ?

It's all a blur at this stage. Just one long 81 years of a procession for the annual gifting of the golden bookmarks and the door stop. It's like Palm Sunday each year.

Replying To superbluedub: "No we are not allowed ." Other counties keep dictating that we play in neutral Croke Park instead of our home in Donnycarney. Somebody needs to sort this. It's an unfair advantage alright. We'd fix it if the DCB decided these things but they don't. The power is in other county's hands. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 04/07/2019 18:10:50 2205558 Link

Massive asterisk over those titles. Dublin had to play nearly twice the amount games to win the same amount of titles in an era were dedication levels are supreme and we're not housed in a hurling only province. Munster counties need to start campaigning to get Kerry out. Ulster would be the logical choice. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 04/07/2019 18:19:17 2205561 Link

Your attempt to run down one of the sports great teams is pathetic Jim. Every team played less games then and Kerry won titles right throughout the 00's when they had to play 6,7,8 games just as well. That late 70's / 80's possibly wasn't the greatest era in football but now is arguably worse where you have one great team and everyone else struggling for one reason or another. It's not 'competitive' if one team is winning everything, usually not having a glove laid on them until the final, if even. This is a great Dublin team but they are also the most privileged side in any sport that I know of ever, getting a massive leg up in every way imaginable year after year. And you regularly go on about Kerry having a weak province and all these extra games Dublin have to play. Leinster over the past five years has been an embarrassment and the extra games are against really poor opposition and you know it. It's conceivable that Dublin May never again be beaten there. Some players on opposing teams are actually suggesting strikes such is the imbalance in the province and the glaring gap in resources and standards, others have already walked away quietly with the result many county teams cannot depend on having their best 15 available any more. And you want to claim Dublins success is worth more than another counties? Pull the other one Jim GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 04/07/2019 19:23:41 2205585 Link
