Fair play, they really are an excellent side. Mannion and Kilkenny were brilliant today, and overall they deserve it. Kerry will be back, no doubt.
6 times Cluxton has lifted Sam as captain.

Congratulations to Dublin, truly an incredible side. As for Kerry they're a young team and I think this group of players will win a good few all Irelands together. I don't think Dublin will be quite as dominant next year.

When Kerry went one up with 5 mins to go from the first match, they had no idea where to go, just passed it between the half backs, they blew it then.

That David Clifford needs to stand tall, brilliant player

What a great team Dublin are at the moment.

Above all else, two fantastic games

Anyone watch the All Stars the other night? What a load of bollox

I thought it was a bit shitty that not a single Laois player picked up an award

As for Cluxton getting POTY, seriously, what is it that I'm missing here?

Not saying he's not a great keeper - he most certainly is

I just fail to see why he was given the award ahead of the likes of Clifford, Fenton or even Mannion

Swept the changing rooms after the All Ireland final donchaknow.

Anyone interested in an All-Ireland QF taking place at Anfield?

The pitch isn't long enough to host a UEFA final, so God knows how they're playing a sport 40m longer.

Jim Gavin steps down as Dublin manager. Surprised, but I guess there's nothing left to do with them. Just the 6 titles in 7 years and 1 defeat in the Championship.

Perham · « **Reply #10608 on:** January 26, 2020, 03:39:51 pm »

League football back again and such a poor display by Roscommon. A draw against a Laois side we really should be beating comfortably after being 6 points up in the closing stages. FFS

couple of quality games yesterday though. That said, derry drawing with leitrim

No inter-county games until October at the earliest.

I assume they'll try to get county championships played off in August and September (if the lifting of the restrictions timetable holds). But we might be talking about an All Ireland series in the winter time, which will be very very strange.

fowlermagic · « **Reply #10612 on:** May 7, 2020, 04:41:19 pm »

Little surprised they are not considering playing behind closed doors this summer as anything is better than nothing but then again they do like their few quid in the pocket. I cant wait to see the local team trying to raise money for essential equipment & overheads as I dont think I have ever seen them do an event that is not about them first then a possible small donation to a charity.

Billy The Kid · « **Reply #10613 on:** May 7, 2020, 07:21:01 pm »

If this years championship can't begin until October then they ought to go old school and just make it straight knock out from the get go with no back doors or round robins, or super 8's or any of that shite. Lose once and you're gone. Winner takes all. Just like the good old days. Play the All Ireland finals in mid December. It'd be right good craic.

Welcome back everyone to the Championship again.

Cavan and Monaghan about to have a penalty shoot out in the opening round of the Ulster c"ship on Sky Sports Mix. And the fucking Cavan keeper nailed a kick from 60m to deny us that spectacle.

Ray K · « **Reply #10617 on:** November 22, 2020, 03:25:33 pm »

Wonderful win for Tipp in those commemorative jerseys. 85 years of a wait and they do it the weekend of the anniversary of Bloody Sunday. Brilliant stuff. Outplayed Cork completely.

archie · « **Reply #10618 on:** November 22, 2020, 05:46:08 pm »

Cavan win Ulster!

What a performance.

deano2727 · « **Reply #10619 on:** November 22, 2020, 05:51:33 pm »

Cavan wanted it more and we were poor.

All credit to Cavan. They've been tremendous this year. Top mentality. You could even hear their bench cheering on every catch won.

Sadly, that probably ensures Dublin win another All Ireland.

Unless... Could Mayo break their barren spell the same year Liverpool broke theirs?

Ray K · « **Reply #10620 on:** November 22, 2020, 06:59:45 pm »

Doing some work around the house as I figured that the Ulster final would be a foregone conclusion...

Crazy that the 4 semi finalists are the same as in 1920 on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

A truly staggering coincidence Tipp were superb today fancy them to take care of Mayo Dublin will beat Cavan so it’s quite possible the All Ireland final 2020 will be played between the two teams that played on Bloody Sunday 1920

Don't see any way how Tipp beat Mayo. And as some on here will know I'm not a big fan of Mayo but they are levels above Tipp.

That was some exhibition of hurling by Waterford in the 3rd quarter. They won every puck out and made some huge grabs. De Burca, Bennett and Jamie Barron were exceptional.
Hope they go on to win it now.

Jamie Barron is such a good hurler.

Dublin v Kerry on TG4 at 1.45.

Some comeback that.
Turned it on at HT in our match and thought it was all over as Dubs were by 7 points ahead.

First time the professionals have been beaten in Championship in 7 years.

Good to see it

Perham · « **Reply #10630 on:** August 14, 2021, 08:57:19 pm »

Never happy to see Mayo win... but will be nice to see someone else win it now.

No medals for winning semi finals….but a great result all the same!

Taking O Shea off at 10-5 was brave. Mayo outscored Dublin 12-5 from that point.

Kerry’s to lose

Hope Kerry win Sam now, we where off the pace and played really poor. Word is not all is good in Camp Dublin and Dessie is not so popular. We will be back.
