Who/what can stop Dublin?

[ONeill]

A big wave?

Fracking?

A plague?

[orangeman]

Play a Rest of Ireland selection against them.

[Farrandeelin]

Nothing.

[INDIANA]

One bad performance will stop Dublin.

Them's the margins

[Mayo Mick]

Mayo. Derry were out of their depth and made Dubs look better than they are. Our backs would not give them as much space and we have the power and pace in the middle third to pressurise their backs. Would not fear them but we would have to hit last years qtr and semi form

Dublin will have to have a very bad at the office in order to get beaten.

And the team that beats them will have to get all the breaks.

Dublin's to lose.

Can't see Kerry or Mayo stopping them. If Cork got their act together and give a full 70 minutes performance, they'd be capable of beating them.

There was talk in early summer last year that Donegal were unbeatable and no one could match their system. That Dublin team are highly impressive when on top and things going well but are far from unbeatable. As champions they'll have a lot of tough questions to answer come August and September if get that far. A walk through Leinster wouldn't do them any favours.

Realistically what teams are going to ask the serious questions of Dublin ?

Mayo will ride the hole off them. They will need Cavilon cream when we are finished with them.

Yiz are not thinking outside the box here. No man of woman born can harm the Dubs in 2014. Sure even when Cork were walloping them, the Dubs were smirking at each other and decided to play ball when it reached tipping point. They're in Harlem Globetrotting territory here.

Can the elections have an impact? Or the World Cup?

Disagree. We might hit the championship a different animal than we were in the league and I expect we will but we don t have enough depth and quality in some areas. Our backs are there for the taking if we lose midfield and especially so if likes of Barrett and Cunniffe are out injured - and lets face it they usually are. Dublin forwards are in rude good health while I believe we have returned Conroy and Brian Gallagher to their clubs with a thank you note. A player of real ability like Adam Gallagher has n t been seen since the floods. Maybe he s injured? Maybe he s being kept dry for more serious days.
Clearly we were better off losing to Derry because on current form today would have been a mess. We re only a week away from a championship and I never believed Horan really wanted to win the league bullshit. As well as that it s no harm for other counties to get the 'shit the nest' experience Hope ye enjoyed it

Must say that expression is more sickening than anything you can experience in sport.

I'd say the likes of mayo Kerry cork and even tyrone or maybe an improving Monaghan could cause them plenty of problems come summer. Dublin will not walk their way to Sam this year. I'm going to stick my neck out and say they'll get caught somewhere from the quarters on. Meath Kerry and mayo gave them tough games last year in championship football.

What act?
Cork could not even manage a functional midfield in the league when it kinda got half serious. 2 class forwards but apart from that they are limited apart from the confidence that is always hardwired into Cork teams.

The only thing that could stop this Dublin juggernaut is Seamus Aldridge announcing his return to refereeing.
