Don't like to get into discussions about the ref, but I can't see where people are getting the idea that the ref favored Dublin (though you do hear this after every Dublin game...). 

Two incidents spring to mind: Galvin (I think it was) putting the head on Casey, but staying on the pitch, and Ryan being called back for a free when he was bearing down on goal.  Surely if the ref was favoring Dublin, those calls would have been different?

And before the accusations of sour grapes fly  in, I'm offering these only as evidence of the lack of a pro-Dublin bias in the ref, and not as reasons why Dublin didn't win.

Bringing on Cossie was definitely a mistake.  He was terrific at one time, but it seems that his best days are behind him.
On the other hand, the Magee for Brogan substitution was good.  Brogan was quiet enough in the second half, and once Magee came on, the Dublin comeback started.

Fair play to Laois Lad for some very even handed comments on the game.  Given recent history between Dublin and Laois, it would have been easy for you to turn the knife.

Congrats on being an uncle too.  It's the best: you get to play with the young 'un till you're tired, and then you hand him/her back to the parents.

Congratulations to Kerry on your victory.  But could we cut out the "had to beat 16 men today" nonsense?

[They are due a win against Kerry]

Just got 2 tickets for tomorrows game, so I am hoping for a cracking game.
Am still hoping for a Kerry win, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the Dubs will win this one. They are due a win against Kerry.

everyone is 

Not everyone, Kerry have never beaten Down in a Championship fixture 
But then again we dont have 32 Sams like you.

which two are you forgeting!    34 is the magic number...

There'll be  a lot more of those Kerry tears come tomorrow evening.

Tut tut, such  anti-dub bile from the Laois folk here.   

Now be honest, weren't you all happier before you won Leinster 4 years ago, and were misled into thinking it might happen again?

Has to be Dublin. Our one-dimensinal play was exposed today and we have no plan B. Hopefully we wont embarass ourselves
in front of the baying dubs..that would be to much to take.

You forgot to add one of these MS --

I think more than one is called for.

Derry throw it away, 3 goal chances blown,

They're called saves.

I'm cleaned out backing against Dublin this year.

A lesson to be learned there...

Unbelievable article, in a nutshell exactly why the rest of the country can't stand Dublin.

The rest of the country can't stand dublin because a Meath man thinks they'll win?  That's the best excuse yet.
