Dublin - Are the Rare Auld Times coming back?

[lynchbhoy]

Dublin could def win Sam this year.
Gilroy is doing some great things, but at the same time shooting himself in the foot.
He could feck up Dublins chances himself.

No way Whelan would come back to play for Dublin - not while Gilroy is in charge!

[CorkMan]

I think that loss in the league final will do them some serious damage.If they have a tight game later on in the year there will be that doubt.If they had won the league they'd be my favorites.

[mannix]

Yes the rare old times are returning, at least till the semifinal against Kerry or the likes when reality sets in. As usual Dublin will hammer a few minnows in Leinster ,the media will laud them as the real deal and the players will start to believe it.I think Dublin are just marginally better than mayo,Galway,donegal etc.
No allireland for Dublin anytime soon.

[Kerry Mike]

Would love to get another crack off the Dubs, lots of history between the 2 counties and lots of painful defeats for the Dubs  , with 8 straight wins for Kerry (and 1 draw thrown in for good measure) we have had the upper hand since the Bomber roared to life in front of the stunned Hill 16 (and equally stunned Paddy Cullen) in 1978, but with us now on the slide and the years taking their toll after a great last decade and the Dubs on the rise , if we do meet this year could be the year that record finally falls.

2009: Kerry 1-24 Dublin 1-07 (All-Ireland quarter Final)
2007: Kerry 1-15 Dublin 0-16 (All-Ireland semi-final)
2004: Kerry 1-15 Dublin 1-8 (All-Ireland quarter-final)
2001: Kerry 2-12 Dublin 1-12 (All-Ireland quarter-final replay)
2001: Kerry 1-14 Dublin 2-11 (All-Ireland quarter-final)
1985: Kerry 2-12 Dublin 2-8 (All-Ireland final)
1984: Kerry 0-14 Dublin 1-6 (All-Ireland final)
1979: Kerry 3-13 Dublin 1-8 (All-Ireland final)
1978: Kerry 5-11 Dublin 0-9 (All-Ireland final)

What about 1987 League Final ?

Care to expand it by two years to cover 1976 and 1977 also.

dublin lost by one point to the all-ireland champions last year. So you're talking bollox. Any other pearls of wisdom?

Worse record against Kerry than Mayo and they call it one of the biggest rivalry. Bascially the Kerry lads love the extra coverage on t.v. and that a few soccerball heads and ruggerbuggers pay them attention for a fortnight and the Dubs like to think they up there with Kerry, but they really another Mayo or Kildare etc.

I think we've won a few all-irelands since the 50's. We were still under occupied rule when Kildare last won one and people were still going to work on a horse when Mayo last won one.

We're not up there with kerry and I'd never claim we were but we havent a bad track record up to the mid 90's.

Go back to bed, you gave up a 14 (fourteen) point lead to mayo in the league so forget about Sam and don' t be embarrassing yourself with bad language. How is that for a pearl of wisdom for ya?

So anyone from the 1995 team or previous Dublin teams going to win Sam for you this year. They are as useful to you as anyone on the Mayo or Kildare teams to have won the Senior A.I. to those teams. I was only stating facts that in recent times Mayo has a better Championship record against Kerry than Dublin, wouldn't be surprised if we had a better League one too. England Dublin all media hype.

After the hidings you got in 04 and 06 off kerry youre in no position to be preaching to any other county about playing Kerry whether it be Dublin, London or Kilkenny.

The hidings Dublin have been getting up in Croke Park (in the Championship, a place they only have to leave if they want to) in recent years would make any Mayoman or woman blush. I just wonder who will blow-up first this year, Mayo or Dublin, its going to happen, you know it.

never said you didn't win it, just said you gave up a 14 point lead of which no more needs to be said, now if only i had the chance to go to the pub i certainly would.

Remember seeing the rivalry between Dublin and Kerry being compared to the rivalry between a nail and a hammer which might not be that far off the mark.
