Mayo v Dublin - AISF - Saturday 5pm

[rodney trotter]

They might be a great team but they come across as very boring in interviews, all staged talk. O Callaghan the latest. Show some emotion like the Hurlers do. It's no crime to be happy

Hard luck to the lads. Couldn't ask for much more this year.

For the Dubs best of luck (if ye even need it) for the 5 in a row now.

Dublin is fantastic to watch there is no doubt about it but the amount of games they get at Croke Park is unfair. Yes, it is a debate that comes up all the time but in my opinion it has to be looked at.


Does anyone think the other counties are closing the gap?

[seafoid]

Hopefully they make it 7 in a row and then the GAA in the other 31 Counties might grow some testicles and try and rescue the sport.
Mayowestros disintegrated in 5 minutes and hadn't put enough on the scoreboard by half time.
Then they went back to their usual wide kicking.

The whole thing would make you envy the Hurley people.

The pundits are part of the pantomime

The horse of competition has been flogged to death.
The GAA refuses to engage with reality.

The loser in tomorrow's game the real winner. A thumping awaits

Croke Park is a neutral venue but they get to interview a Dublin lady boxer in the match build up, play a trumpet role when the Dubs take the field and have Dublin always walking down the pre parade shaking the opposition hands. Oh, and they always warm up down the hill end.

Yip no hope in the case of the Dubs.

We're doomed! We're all doomed!

Kilkenny won 7 titles in 8 years (took a two year break and then won another three in a row) and people didn't complain in the hurling world. Lets get realistic - Mayo spend nearly as much on county teams as Dublin do but don't have a serious hurling team to pay for.

See that's a load of crap. The reason Mayo spend more is they play more games through back door, have to travel to New York or London and have mileage to pay players as they don't all study or work in Mayo. The reality is Dublin spend more as a County Board than any other county at a proportionally higher level.

Mayo played at 100% intensity for 35 minutes and only managed to lead by 2 points at half time. Dublin upped their game for 10 minutes (would question if they played at 100% intensity) and tore Mayo apart. If Dublin played at 100% against any team for 70 minutes it will be a massacre. 

[whitey]

I'm afraid to ask....how many of the goals/points was the Mayo goalkeeper to blame for?

[Wildweasel74]

He's not a good un

[Wildweasel74]

Should went to Dara

Kilkenny won 7 titles in 8 years (took a two year break and then won another three in a row) and people didn't complain in the hurling world.

People must have short memories.

Would say the main difference was that was a class team who didn't get 18million from croke park. Dublin will continue to dominate for years and years to come due to funding.

Kilkenny hasn't got 1,400,000 of a population.
About 1 sixteenth of it.

Don't get all pure and ethosy... it's just a question - Would Professionalism enable other Counties to compete with Dublin?
