I didnt think there was any way I would support Dublin in the final but I am now willing them on to give Kerry a tight hammering due to:

- Bottle Lies
- Darragh O'Se article
- David Gough nonsense

Good luck you boys in blue

Funny how Dublin fans don't complain about the ref, as they know they're likely to win the game anyway. Had it been 15 years ago, you'd have heard their whinging. Funny what success does.

I've been on the board since 2002 - never once complained about a ref. Can't really remember any Dub contributor in those dark times (and they were plenty dark) complaining about refs, either their performance or their appointment. Always too disappointed in our own lack of performance in key games.

Crazy world now that us not complaining about a ref is taken as arrogance. Would you prefer if we did?

Kerry enjoy cute smear tactics yet again. Pain in the arse winning or losing. The pathetic whispering after the semi final on water bottles, absolute horseshit, the lobby is well and truly up and going. They need weak refs that keep them in the game until they find their feet a la last Sunday. I hope the dubs bate them by 20 to eliminate any doubt about the ref.

Not sure if the margin will stop excuses - the Dubs are still blaming Aldridge for losing in 1978 even though they lost by 17 points! And they were still making death threats to him, sending him bullets in the post and phone calls at all hours of the night for 10 years. When the shoe is on the other foot, the Dubs aren't so apathetic about the ref.

I see a few people blaming the Kerry meeja for spreading bottlegate, but that rumour originated in Monaghan - maybe it's something someone in Monaghan tried themself without success!

I'm hoping Dublin win for a couple of reasons:

Firstly To rub it up the Kerry ones about the 5 in a row

Also so that this farcical situation with Dublin can run its course and that the elephant in the room has to be dealt with

I recall plenty of complaints from the Dubs about the ref for the 2017 NFL final v Kerry.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Dinny, how about you learn to read  - see above. Football didn't start in 2011.

I've been going to Croker since 1981 (for the Offaly hurlers) and to Dublin games since 1983, though I didn't get to the final for the 12 Apostles.
In that time, some of the games that I've been at that stand out are -

All 4 in 91 against Meath

Being beaten by Donegal in 92 AIF

Being beaten by Derry in 93 SF

Wasn't at the Down final in 94, watched it at home

Being beaten by Meath in 96 (Bealo's missed peno)

Again by Meath in 99 (Ollie Murphy went to town on us)

By Kildare in two games in 2000

By Meath in Leinster and Kerry after a replay in Thurles (Maurice Fitz)

By Armagh by a point in AISF in 02 (Cossie hit the post)

By Laois in 03, followed by Cluxton getting himself sent off against Armagh

By Westmeath in 04, followed by Kerry getting medieval on us in the AIQF

By Tyrone in AIQF 05 after a replay

By Mayo (Ciaran Mac) after leading by six with 20 to go in the AISF 06

By Kerry in AISF 07

By Tyrone in the pouring rain in AIQF 08

By Kerry (startled earwigs) in AIQF 09

I was at them all and more. So excuse me if my memories of supporting Dublin, in the main was of disappointment for the guts of 26 years (barring the wins in 83 and 95). Now you may say that you have had more disappointment than me, and I would say quantitatively that is correct.

But I would also point out that experience is subjective, and given that I was from a county where there was a huge amount of expectation on them to be All Ireland winners, both from within and outside the county, that the sense of failure and underachievement was especially keen and embarrassing. Anyone who was supporting Dublin during those years won't forget it soon anyway.

Or I could just concede defeat and acknowledge that I just can't do self pity like some of the contributors to this board, and I should just leave it to the experts...

Is it not amazing how little space on this thread is being used to discuss the the actual match?

The possibility of Dublin actually winning five in a row is driving the usual suspects here demented. You lads should really seek help.

A great achievement by Dublin while being underfunded (per head)with development money and nowhere near top spenders on our senior teams (Dual total amount).

Well done Dublin

Do you think there is a match to be discussed? I mean Dublin are 1/5.

I really hope ye do it and do it with style. The last thing the game needs is for Kerry to fluke a win.
