I can't see anything but a Dublin win. Kildare wide open at the back and Dublins experience and know how to make the most of it. I expect a high scoring game.

But i'll live in hope watching from my local shouting and roaring.

up to about 2 years ago the talk was that the second best team in Ireland was the dublin Subs

That was always just a pathetic attempt to detract from the achievements of the 6 in a row Dublin team by implying that they had no real opposition. Usually spouted by disgruntled nordies.

Would you not consider that a compliment?

What's the point if you can't celebrate.
And you can sure it was only the league but Dublin needed to win that as much as Kildare did, so it wasn't like they were half-arsing it. It was a tough game and, as was said, their aura is eroding so we should not fear them at all.

That being said they have lots of class players to turn it all around but not as many as they used to. Like Kildare still have to get a full run of games from Feely. Plus you have Eoin Doyle, Darragh Kirwan, David Hyland (former captain) and Fergal Conway all on the bench. Lads who would stroll onto the team other years.

It would be amazing to stay up, but the division is so tight I don't see anyone taking the foot off the throttle.

Am i right in saying 6 of Kildares 2018 U20 All Ireland winners started on Sunday and a 7th was brought off the bench. Under this management that group of players are given more of a chance to impress than the last management and so far it's reaping its benefits.

Yes that is correct. Didn't realise myself till now.

No guarantees with anything but the current management won't be found wanting in the attitude stakes.

[Even better to see some opposition fans raging over the loss. 🤣]

Delighted with that win. Rode our luck at times but ground it out. Not often we beat the Dubs so we'll enjoy it.

I thought you didnt go to intercounty games? You have a dirty horn for the dubs going by all your posts. Why not enjoy the victory instead of your rage for the jackeens 🤣🤣🤣

I don't go to intercounty games. Where did I say I was there?

The Dubs are one of our biggest rivals who we haven't beaten in 22 years. So surely I'm entitled to my day in the sun. It might be another 22 years before we beat them again. I am enjoying the victory very much so I'm not raging at all. The opposite in fact.

Thank you for taking the time to ask though.

Yawn.  That money doesn't go to the intercounty team, as  has been pointed out many times here.

So because the illegal €1M a year to Dublin GAA  didn't go directly to intercounty players then there was no unfair advantage?  Thanks for clarifying.

Illegal?

Yes. Illicitly syphoned off by Bertie under the table during the boom

I never agreed with Dublin GAA receiving all those funds but it's hardly illegal.

You are not a bit dramatic.

Hard to believe Kildare hadn't beat Dublin in 22yrs. Couldn't understand the big celebrations after the match at the time for a league game.

Perhaps you're forgetting Kildare made the fatal mistake of appointing bottler McGeeney as manager when they were on the up?

On the up?

Check the records and come back on here and admit you are wrong.

Serious meltdown over on reservoir dubs. 

The whole world is against them.

Who's the Armagh 13. In the video he has niall sludden in a headlock has hard has he can at the wire and young girl only a yard away staring at it. Surely a lengthy ban for that shit. Fair play to sludden for not endangering her.

Hampsey deserves a lengthy ban for his antics. Acts like a thug on the pitch.

A bit like Ben McCormack on Gavin Whyte last week?

Did Ben McCormack knee Gavin Whyte on purpose?

Silly comparison.

Dunno how the red picked people out for the reds other than Hampsey. He had a clash with forker on the sideline just after the melee. I'm guessing that was what his red was for

It was more likely the kneeing of the Armagh man that got him red.

Well done Armagh. John Small still doing what John Small does.

I hope the Kieran McGeeney thread on res dubs is resurrected tonight.

Nah the Death Star took out. But the Empire could Strike back next year, leading up to the concluding trilogy  ;lol 😂

You only have to look at the Taliban and their comeback.

The Taliban did it on their own. Dublin couldn't despite a tenfold numerical advatage until they were given millions by Bertie and the GAA.

Totally wrong. Taliban did a deal with Trump, Dublin did a deal with Bertie. Taliban fond of beheading and Dublin were trying a bit of beheading at the weekend too. Taliban are sponsored by Toyota Hilux, Dublin also sponsored by Toyota

It remains to be seen if the Taliban sweep out dressing rooms but I think the comparison above is perfect.

The taliban after being defeated in Afghanistan have come back and now rule the country. Great comparison Itchy. Like you I hope the dubs can come back and reclaim their throne

It's a good comparison - as regards dirty play and incorrigible cynacism , they are well- matched. 

Taliban are back on top after 20 years of struggles and they are now calling the shots. Hopefully dubs won't have to wait that long to reclaim their title.

Kerry might have something to say about that since they lead the honours table.

Great champions know how to win and lose.  Dublin didn't cover themselves in much glory on Saturday.

This is it in a nutshell. We've heard over the past several years how humble Dublin are. That didn't show last Saturday.

McGeeney ratified for a 8th season with Armagh https://t.co/PFAnHXp9Wo?amp=1

I'd take him back to Kildare in a blink.
