Personally, I will be shouting for Dublin - I want their continued domination to force change.
Still gutted after Tyrone's fold in the second half and wasn't gonna even bother watching it; but probably the Dubs- don't like the way Kerry ( team, ex players , fans even ) carry themselves

A bit of this but not a fan of Kerry and their insufferable arrogance, hope its a complete hiding too.

Dublin- due to Spillane, mainly!!
Dublin, Kerry fans are insufferable.
Shouting, why would anyone do that if their team is not involved? I will be calmly watching and as ever would prefer if the underdog can win not fussed if they don't. For neutrals watching I feel this will be a disappointing one sided contest with Dublin likely having the game wrapped up by half time. If we had a pitch celebration for the five in row it might be somewhat interesting viewing but HQ don't allow that in Croke Park anymore, so we are let with another boring and scripted speech from Cluxton and lots of up close shots of Jim Gavin smirking.

I never thought I would say this, but this year I'm not that bothered if I see the game or not. More than likely will watch it, but I'm getting very disillusioned with the county game.
Neither I want them both to lose! Both sets of fans are as bad as each other!

Wan't a GAA that is not all about Dublin GAA and Croke Park!
What is the reason you want Dublin to win?
Continued domination to force change....??
Do you think the GAA are going to admit they fucked up the whole championship by funding Dublin? Will they shite.
They'll persist with the shite that Dublin got their act together, and it's up to the other counties to get up off their knees.
While I'd like to think a Dublin win would force change, it won't. So, even though they have 37 already, I'll be supporting Kerry.
I had to book a flight several weeks ago and later realised ti clashed with the all ireland final. I was gutted at the time but to be honest, now that i know the finalists, i'm not really that bothered.
I think the Dubs will win very easily.
Option number 2

This as well.
So long as Tyrone aren't playing then who cares who wins, Dublin or Kerry won't go into the gutter to try to win the game.

That would be a minor factor for me as well.
The way the Kerry manager was going on after the game the last day was embarrassing and turned me off him and his team
Kerry. They have naturally tanned legs from being closer to the equator. The Dublin ones obviously use sunbeds and I know what i'm talking about.
I personally hope Dublin beat Kerry out the gate. From my experience, Kerry have proven themselves time and again to be ungracious winners and particularly ungracious losers. They play up to the country bumkin yerra bullshit "ah sure we just turn up and play the game" but are the most cynical team in the country. This cynicism has even infiltrated the media with Kerry men everywhere you look writing articles and giving "analysis" whereby the sole intention is to promote the myth of Kerry football. And if I was in any doubt about who I wanted to win, that interview with Peter Keane where his was yerraing on about hoping they can keep the ball kicked out to Dublin left me hoping that the Dubs ram his words down his throat.

Totally agree, some counties have been on their knees for a while and will stay there for even longer.
Leinster has been a joke for a few years now, Dubs are winning by not getting out of second gear.
I don't understand GAA on the funding issue, it is no good for any sport to have one team so superior.
I think it's horrible they will get the five , it makes me sick if I'm honest . People go on about Kerry supporters been this n that well I never experienced them going on like them absolute xxxxxxxxx on the hill 16 , some of Ye must not really attend games at all . Section 301 cussack last week only in our latest game against them , Mayo supporter punched for shouting hon Mayo and plenty witnessed it , Garda had to come in . There is a section of dubs supporters totally different in a bad way to any other county's supporters .

Attendances are plummeting! The Tyrones, Galways, Roscommons, Mayo's, Donegals and Monaghans had a glimmer of hope two or three years ago. As time goes by they have found themselves getting swatted away. They are in a sort of limbo where they are good enough to think about eating at the top table. But well of the pace that Dublin are setting. If you think that people won't vote with their feet, look at the Leinster example. Low attendances mean less money in the coffers. Less money in the coffers means panic!

It will have all been worth it then! ;D
I'll be shouting for Tipp, mainly because they have surprised me this year, Kilkenny deserve some credit also in fairness but Tipp just shade it for me.
What kills me mainly is the amount of crap discussed about football! It's literally dung but it doesn't stop the shit being talked about it. I hope Dublin continue to wipe the floor with everyone in football as you can produce 'footballers' with money, but no amount of money will produce hurlers

I see the Dubs well in the lead! Clearly they used their financial power to fix this poll, either by employing master hackers from the Ukraine or lobbying and bribing the board members.
They are an awful pack of hoors!
Hon Kerry

I think the purpose was to say how the games development funding has propelled Dublin to the top. And while that got some lip service, the real/main reasons are explained in good detail.

Ahem. JP. Cough.
The team that won a Hurley AI while hitting a few lorry loads of wides ::)
I think Kerrys carry on about the ref was disgusting. The biggest day of the refs life ruined by those gobshites. The idea that a Meath man would be biased towards dublin? I also think the dubs are a fantastic team and so I hope they give Kerry a good trimming.
Fully agree about the ref.
I would like to see Kerry if only to stop the tiresome stuff about financial doping. I still believe good footballers are bred and nourished by amateurs (parents, neighbors, teachers - even lads sitting on barstools dreaming about a point that was scored back in the 40s). Kerry breed good footballers better than anyone, but Dublin have now produced a brilliant generation of skilled footballers. Let's give credit where credit is due. Hoping for a close game and a young Kerry team to burst a gut to preserve the records of their fathers and their fathers fathers fathers.

I'd have to agree with you about the media manipulation by former Kerry players.
Both Aidan O'Mahony and Eamon Fitzmaurice produced articles about how Mayo players were going to bully the Kerry garsúns in the Super 8 match,pathetic sh*t.
