Surely this is a joke? Whatever hope they have in football its Kilkenny or Tipp again this year. The Dubs have improved but Kilkenny and Tipp are a different class to them! Im from Tipp so hopefully celebrating another all Ireland soon!

In my defence, I was extremely drunk when I started this thread. The ramblings of a drunken fool.

lol was wondering! You usually talk sense! Didnt you know franko never drink and post as you always regret it haha

Yup, no more drunken posting from Franko.

get down off that high horse you absoloutely robbed us in the leinster semi just remember you may consider yourselves the best in leinster but kildare and kilkenny are far superior

Sea-the-stars,

Nonsense, explain to me how Kildare are superior??? You had a 1 man advantage for the entire second half against us and couldn't beat us. Alan Brogan passed up an easy goal chance with 5 mins to go which would have put us 7 points up. A 3 minute spell of dominence is all Kildare had in the entire game. Bernard Brogan was also tripped at the end of the game, you know it but won't admit it.

Kildare haven't beaten Dublin in the Championship for 11 years dude, Dublin have won 6 of the last 7 Leinsters. So, will you please tell me how Kildare are "far superior" than Dublin???

because just look at our squad were far stronger man for man and imagine we had dermot earley back and were able to move johnny doyle back up in the forward line and come on now 3 minutes of dominance would ya stop i personally think that is one of the best games dublin have played all year if not the best i just think we have a mental block over dublin im hoping we draw dublin instead of tyrone if we get past donegal because i think playing you for a second time in one season is the only way we can get past the mental block.

Hmmm, Dublin in the semis of the Football and Hurling. Maybe my drunken prediction wasn't that too far off the mark. I expect Tipp to beat us by 10 or so points on Sunday but you never know. Footballers were superb against Tyrone

i will legally change my name to dublin are the best if you do the double.

Tipp should and probably will hammer us but the footballers are looking good. If Diarmuid Connolly has two more performances like last Saturday night, we'll go all the way.

Donegal arent going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination that blanket defence is extremely hard to break and if you give them frees like you did Tyrone they could beat you.

WHAT A PERFORMANCE BY DUBLIN TODAY!!!!!!!!!

Worst game of football ever! Kerry won't be quaking!

For 16 years we've played good football and blown it. Agree it was the worst game of football ever, but that's Donegals fault.

Dubs 4 Sam

Frank

Maybe but Kerry won't be quaking in their boots after that game! Could work in your favour though they might think the game is won!

Valid point Tipp dude but I think the Dublin you saw play against Tyrone will be the Dublin you'll see against Kerry. For a start Kerry are an attacking team and will not deploy the same spoiler tactics that Donegal did.

Both Brogans had an off day against Donegal and Connolly was harshly sent off while we were still trailing and we still managed to prevail. They say the sign of a good team is winning despite playing poorly.

Best of luck against the rotten Cats on Sunday dude.

Donegal are the Greece of GAA lol. Yeah hopefully ye can finally get the better of Kerry when it really counts! Nice to see someone different winning it! Cheers franko but have a nasty feeling KK will win it. They are an awesome team and have a point to prove after last season!

Here's waiting anwiously for Sunday. Dublin's date with destiny has almost arrived.

Hope you got a ticket Frank! Like gold dust I hear!

Well 1 out of 2 ain't bad. Dubs back were they belong at the top of the pile.

Hill 16 la la la.

Wahoo and Tipp actually won! Shocked I have to say! A friend of mine from Kerry played them in a challenge game before the final and said they are poor so expected ye to woop them! It's all we will ever win in football though in fairness! Not expecting them to make much difference in seniors really! Did you have a few days off after the final Franko? I'd say half of Dublin phoned in sick on the Monday haha

I was over in Spain on a weeks holidays. Absolutely delighted and I'm giving a couple of the Kerry lads in the job a bit of stick today also. I actually didn't get to see the game, my sister was phoning me every few mins with updates. I went to three "Irish" bars that advertised they were showing the game, but instead were showing the EPL. Saw some clips on the net the following day but I've got the match recorded and will watch it tonight with a few tinnies.

Yeah dude, fair play on the minor title, maybe Tipp will be challening Kerry in the seniors in a few years time.

You missed it Franko??? Jesus you must have been the only Dub not to see it! Unbelievable finish to the game! After Kerry got the free out I expected them to go up and score the winner but fair play to the GK for keeping his nerve to slot over the winner! No don't think the minors win will make a difference to our senior team! We are useless haha! Thing is unlike KK football is really popular in Tipp but obviously we are just no good!
