They are a great team, with a great manager, It is no mean feat to keep them motivated, but anyone who doesn't see the advantages they have is in denial. It shouldn't take from the players, nor the fans in their celebrations of a great achievement, but fans from other counties, have legitimate points regarding advantages. johnq (UK) - Posts: 7 - 14/09/2019 22:41:46 2235372 Link 0 |
Fantastic team and great ambassadors for the game, I got one prediction right today so I'll make another now, the next team to beat them in championship will be the same team that beat them last time, Donegal,can't say when it'll be though!!

Nothing tainted about Dublin's wins. Well done to them. Most people are gracious to be fair. We should acknowledge what a great side they are. The greates. Congratulate them for the next 48 hours or so. Then the love in is over. This Kerry team will definitely win an All Ireland. Tyrone have a great chance. I feel Micky Harte is holding them back. Donegal have a good enough side. Mayo will be back. Kildare have great potential. I feel that fortunes have turned in Cork too. I think the standard of football has never been higher or more competitive. It just shows what a great side Dublin are. But there are enough teams there that can and will beat them. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 14/09/2019 22:45:00 2235377 Link 3 |
Bregrudgery still in full flow on the forum. Very sad to see on such a historic evening. People need to grow up. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1909 - 14/09/2019 22:46:43 2235379 Link 6 |
You loved it did you? One would think you'd be more concerned why Kildare's best players don't think intercounty football is worth the effort.

The Kerry team of the 1970s and the Galway team of the 1960s are every bit as impressive as this Dublin team. Let's not forget Down in the 1960s also, Meath in the 80s, Cork in the 90s and Dublin in the 70s. And that's from recent memory. The first half of the 20th century had great teams, Wexford and Cavan for example. Halfdinnerandraspberrycheesecake (Leitrim) - Posts: 48 - 14/09/2019 23:33:28 2235397 Link 2 |
I'm hoping too. The more you win the sooner we get change.

But this thread isn't about Kildare football as the title of it may suggest to you.

Have to salute the greatest team of all time having achieved the Holy Grail of 5 in a row. Incredible team, great skills, great management team & players who are humble & carry themselves well, great ambassadors. Fair play to Kerry who put it up to them, great game of football. Looks like both will dominate for some time as no one else is near either of them. Yes the issues of money, coaching & use of Croke Park need to be dealt with, but tonight the incredible 5 in a row team should be acclaimed. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 15/09/2019 00:52:42 2235428 Link 1 |
A Meath, Kerry and Tyrone team were in agreement tonight on TSG. This Dublin team is the greatest of all time. I think that says all that anyone needs to know. An incredible group of players.

The main reason Dublin won the 5 in a row was due to: browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 15/09/2019 02:11:12 2235444 Link 9 |
Absolutely, I'm sure the likes of Leitrim, Cavan and Longford just have to work a bit harder to get to Dublin's level.

There's no honor in winning a lob-sided competition. I could give you 18 million reasons for the begrudging attitudes, each of them justified. Ned_Stormcrow (Cavan) - Posts: 1071 - 15/09/2019 08:14:29 2235455 Link 3 |
Dublin have always had 'advantages'. Their population was always bigger. Proportionally, it was less in the past. Historically, they have rarely ever played a Leinster final, AI semi final outside of Croke Park. Nothing new there. Dublin players have always worked in Dublin and Dublin students have always had the opportunity to study in Dublin. Nothing new either. Though this advantage has surely decreased as it is easier to get in and pit of Dublin than in the past. There is large amount of money being spent on underage for sure. Disproportionately and that is not fair. However, it is for future teams and not this one. If this year's minor hurling, football teams is what they an produce after all the money spent, then waste of money. The only thing that is new is the bitterness to winning. Teams used to love beating Dublin in Croke Park.. Silencing the hill.. Mocking the jackeens so to speak. The advantages were only mentioned in pity.. Ie a million people and one shite team. Now, for the first time they have produced a truly great side. A team full of Dubs. They deserve nothing but credit. The standard has never been higher and they have set the standards. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 15/09/2019 09:06:11 2235467 Link 6 |
Yet you obviously do as you responded! I'd say you're some craic, an apparently historic evening and you're stuck into your phone on a forum! Hahaha!
