Was there (m)any Kildare supporters at the Match?

We'd have filled a Range Rover.

Ah sure, I'm sure there were plenty of Dublin supporters. Headquarters will be happy enough with that!

So much for catching the Dubs early in the league!

Ffs, Dublin have never lost an opening game in the league under Gavin, that's just lazy journalism trying to give false hope. Kildare missed 2 goal chances and 6 wides in the 1st half needed a bigger cushion than 2 points. eDublin also had a very effective containment plan for Feeley.

At least out margin defeat is coming down, on track to beat Dublin circa 2023.
Kildare need to think strategically. The wheels will fall off the Dub bandwagon at some stage.  Kilkenny hurlers won more than the Dubs will and they are shite now. If Kildare keep it together they could start to win stuff.
WTF! Are you sure you are not Zulu in disguise. ;D
Kilkenny hurlers and the Kerry 4 in a row won what they did because they were simply better than the rest. They held no other advantage over any other county in the land.
Kilkenny has 12 senior teams, far less than Cork, Tipp, Dublin and possibly  others as well. Do they have more money than anyone else?
Well, after one of their earlier wins in their recent run, the players had to stand outside Church gates with plastic buckets to cadge money for their own holiday.
They finally ran out of puff because Cody didn't have enough fresh, young players coming through. He stuck with the old reliable even when it was obvious they had past their sell by date. He didn't have enough talented replacements.
Exactly the same with Micko and Kerry. Even after the four in a row, he got an awful bollicking from Kerry fans when his winning run stopped. He got more abuse in the three years before he started winning again than he got praise for all he had done until then. At least, that's what the man said.
Dublin will never have that problem. Spare me the crap about the present side being exceptionally talented and when they retire en masse everything will be the same as before they came along.
Correct me if I'm wrong but only five of the 2011 winning team started against Mayo last year. (Clucko, O'Sullivan, Fitzsimons, McCarthy and Berno.)
Dublin will always have assloads of talented younger players pushing for places and oul' fellas desperately trying to hold on. The team will never will never lack motivation to go all the way and that's for sure. Unlike Micko and Cody, Jim Gavin and whoever follows him will never be short of able replacements.

They will for sure and it will be quite the experience if you've never heard those lads in action previously!!

That's if Ollie Turner is on the mic.
If it's Kevin Dwyer or Tommy Devane or someone else it won't be much of an experience other than sleep inducing!

Cheers lads, I'll have the Prozac and Valium handy so all bases are covered depending on which commentator shows up!

It's not about money or demographics. The highest skill level and teamwork is its own currency.
It is impossible to keep going indefinitely.  Pep couldn't do it at Barcelona. Fergie  couldn't do it. Cody can't do it. The Dubs will be shite in a few years.

They probably won't be as dominant imo but to say they will be "shite"?
Now that's shite talk!

Seafoid, one of the greatest blessings that Galway Football has had over the last 10 years is that they have not had the humiliation of meeting Dublin in a competitive game in either the League or championship. You just have no idea of what you are up against until your own county meets this Monster. You can look at other counties and say they should have done this wrong and they should have done that wrong. You can say this is a fad. That it's not money based. Not home game based. But until you see your own county (a county you know the best) humbled you are speaking as a person blinded by old values and old rules.

Kilkenny were peerless.
Now they can't even defend.

Say you have a JJ Delaney or a Brian Fenton. They have to play. It would be insane to put in a new lad. But do that for a few years across the team and the same faces clock up the miles. The second string do not. The same faces get old. And then one day you need 6 replacements and there is nobody.
