Disappointing, hard to see any excitement coming into it now

Big-time drubbing ata ann. Looks like an U-14 team against Minors. Hoping for a more competitive second half.

Disappointing as a contest alright but you cannot but admire Portumna's class. Should they and Crossmaglen win today I think we'll be witnessing the two best club teams in history in action.
I took Portumna at 5/1 to win by 16 points or more and looking decent for now. I'll feel sorry for DLS but I hope Portumna don't let their foot off the gas.

will they bother coming out in the 2nd half?

You have to hand it to Potumna 3 all irelands in four years is some going and only a highly controversial Galway final stopped them the other year. Makes for a poor final but they are some team, hammered Birr last year Ballyhale this year and now DLS. Do they absolutely hammer everyone in Galway too?

Awesome performance. Best club team I've ever seen. Not only do they consistently beat everyone, they completely and utterly annihilate them. Would quite likely have been four in a row today if it wasn't for Loughrea going at them with chainsaws two years ago.

They didnt even pull second gear there for parts of the game. Maybe it will be Galways year.
They might replace the captain with this fella: http://current.com/items/89730764/longest_speech_ever_5_days_and_4_nights.htm

My bet came in, happy days

Anyone capaple of stopping Portumna win three or four in a row?

Treasurer · March 17, 2009, 04:21:01 PM

Fair play to Portumna, made it look easy.

Here's hoping the football will be a bit more engaging!

jeez i feel sorry for John Mullane-that is two awful hammerings he has experienced in Croke Park in two All Ireland finals in less than six months

I feel nothing for him, he was acting the bollox again today, after appearing to have matured somewhat last year. When it became clear the match was long over he resorted to throwing the hurl and screaming at the ref instead of trying to restore some pride for his team.
