The GAA and all officials knows what's at stake here, they won't state it publicly but its in their thought process, Do every to help the opposition against Dublin. The Media know it too. The media hate Dublin, hate that the players won't talk to certain journalist, hate writing the same pieces every September.
Now at the semi-final stage, playing good opposition, but not better, it is a general feeling in the capital that the only way Dublin will be beaten is bad officiating in whatever form that may take, a non-red card, a last minute free against or opposition cheating like diving of the opposition, sledging by the opposition, some old traits to come out from a time long past. The world and its mother hoping Dublin are beaten so they can sneer and cheer and write abusive comments on social media and GAA forums.

These WUM threads are so very tiresome.
Load of balls. Dubs play great football, good for the game and the vast majority of their supporters are good sport. I for one don't mind if the Dubs are the benchmark for years to come. It's up to other counties to produce 20 players good enough to compete.
Having said that it's no gimme that they will win Sam again. Tyrone will match their lung power and their football ability. Plus you can't ever write off the Kerry men who never show their full worth till September. Still all to play for, for the mighty Dubs.
A great and and well thought opening post.
i agree entirely. It's sad that this level of spite has become part of the game. The game is not just 70 mins but part of our culture and heritage. It's an expression of ourselves and how we like to be viewed on the world stage. It's a shame when the greatest ambassadors of this cultural expression are shot down at every turn by bitter fools. Take heed GAA fans, these attacks and constant abuse fired at Dublin can't be contained and will destroy the greatest collective prize, our pride and dignity.
I don't understand why anyone would want Dublin bet just because they are Dublin. They play the best football, they bring great crowds and atmosphere. The dubs have done the gaa a great service by showing teams how to attack and infiltrate the blanket defence. I'd rather see them win than a lot of other teams
I like the Dubs footballers. They play watchable football.
Agree all, all good points, The Dubs will definitely get done.

Maybe you could put this on the other thread about Dublin.
Remember the one you just bumped up because no one had posted in it for over a week?

Amazing post, so well written, thoughtful & right on the money.
Here in Donegal we are talking of little else except how Dublin are going to be badly done over in the coming weeks. If HQ do nothing we are going to throw a couple of car loads together & make sure justice is done.
Dublin is Jesus on the cross
Next thing is Leitrim, Carlow etc etc will all want free Toyotas for their full panels - new one every 6 months.

nope...
I don't know what you are worrying about. Apparently this is the greatest team of all time (kerry team of the 70s/80s wouldnt keep the ball kicked out to them) and nobody, even the ref will get close to them. Tyrone may as well stat at home.
