You'll need to ask a bookie to give you the odds.

Exactly - we had a good team in the last decade and couldn't really replace them. I've never seen any team doing this before like Dublin. It's in nobody's interests ultimately.

Raises the bar ?what are you talking about? That's like saying USA have raised the bar at the Olympics and Ireland need to work harder.

The main guys are still there though; yes they've added quality but your McCarthy's, Rock, Cluxton are still there so I'd say the backbone is around. Tyrone benefited from having very seasoned, quality players well established in senior football when Harte brought his successful underage players through in 2003; Canavan, Dooher, Lawn etc were ready to help those players coming through. Will Dublin be the same without, Cluxton, Rock and McCarthy in particular; who knows! We have to hope it is only a golden generation that will fade; ironicially the more Dublin win it increases the chances of people determined to taint their titles being successful; if they do win 10, by that stage the outroar it's all about unfair advantage may become the narrative but obviously no Dublin team wants to stop winning. If they lost this years final the 5 in a row team in a very strange Irish way will be held in higher esteem in generations to come than if they go and win 10+ titles. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 06/12/2020 11:55:03 2319085 Link 1 |
I'd still say they'll be stopped sometime in the next 5 years,, but if they are it'll be by kerry,, no one outside of those two will win an all Ireland again under the current system imo. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1708 - 06/12/2020 13:00:46 2319123 Link 1 |
I would like to think that's correct because Kerry can't win this year's title.

Yep, because you could then call them a 1-off special group. If they do 10 in a row, the off-field advantages will be harder to brush under the rug. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 06/12/2020 14:51:16 2319193 Link 6 |
It's going to bother a lot of non-Dubs when they do start losing. I mean what will happen to the "off field advantages argument"? Thank God these off-field advantages haven't done anything for the hurlers or there would a complete melt down.

I thought the Brogans, Flynn, McCaffrey, Connolly, Cullen etc were the golden generation and back bone?

Because hurling is a more skillful game, the AIG sponsored S&C program holds more weight in football Anyway you exhibit to people time and again you're an individual impossible to take seriously... bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 06/12/2020 16:16:57 2319241 Link 8 |

Ha, you post that garbage and say that I can't be taken seriously. At least the Dubs are good at one code.
