What an utterly ridiculous post. Quotes from a game 4 years ago, dealing with 2 very different teams playing in different ways.
As I said earlier if a team holds onto possession for 5 minutes or so, then it’s totally the opposition’s fault. I’ve no doubt most Dubs were more frustrated with their own team not pushing on rather than Ros recycling. That changed in the second half. As a Dub, I’d be well confident of beating Ros in the semi final, if both of us were lucky enough to get there. No rule change required. Although I do highly rate the Ros manager, he could well have something else up his sleeve.
The point I was making has gone totally over your head.
First of all four years ago selected because it was the last championship between the two, discussion on here was about the possession football tactic that makes games boring and need for a rule change.
For me more boring is one sided games whereby one side was so poorly organised without the ball that they allowed it to happen. Yes Dublin aren't at the level they once were but back in 2019 even Cork relegated to Div 2 gave a better account of themselves against Dublin in Croke Park and had Roscommon performed in a similar manner last Sunday it would have been 7 to 10 point defeat instead of having the last kick of the match to win it.
As for All Ireland semi final progression, Roscommon would probably need to top the group as if not three games in 14 days would take its toll on their fitness and conditioning. Dublin remain strong favourites to top the group and so long as they avoid Kerry in the last 8 they should at least be reaching the last 4.
An embarrassing post.
