Would Dublin beat Ulster?

In a series of five games who would win more- Dublin or the pick of Ulster- ie Beggan, Harte, Hampsey, Murphy, Paddy McB, No-one from Derry, etc

unless the ulster team train together for a long time, dublin would win all of them

God, I don't think so- Ulster would win that with 8 weeks prep I would say. Imagine the strongest team.

During the early 1960s there was an annual game between the All Ireland champions and a Rest of Ireland selection. As far as I know the All Ireland champions usually won.

What do you mean no-one from Derry etc,Chrissy McKaigue is one of the best backs in Ireland and is every bit as good as any of the elite Dublin backs.
An Ulster Select would beat Dublin in 100 games out of 100.
You're talking about the Cream of Tyrone,Monaghan and Donegal,3 of the top 6/8 sides in the country for a start and each of the other 6 teams has outstanding players aswell.
Dublin are a fantastic team,undoubtedly one of the best ever, but the hype is getting ridiculous.

Yes

I know, that's why I am asking if Dublin could beat Ulster as opposed to the other way around.

Apologies then,if you thought i was attacking you, picked it up wrong.

BHMan McKaigue wouldn't even make their team. Excellent as he is he's not at that level.

The other 31 counties would be lucky to beat Dublin never mind just 9.

A scratch Ulster team wouldn't have a prayer against the Dubs. Maybe if they trained together for a couple of years they might have a chance.

Jinxy · September 03, 2018, 06:29:38 PM

Dublin would win handy.

The Ulster panel would all have to get jobs and live within a few miles of each other.
Would need to train together for a year and then play in the NFL.
Or the 31 other Counties could bring a Motion to Congress requiring Dublin to field 4 teams in the SFC based on the 4 Local Authority areas.

Would there be any McGourtys playing?

If Lane or Dublin Joe were refereeing Dublin would win them all
