The Dubs To Win Liam & Sam

Anybody who's watched any of the Championship so far this year will know that Dublin are going to win the double this year. 21 years after this remarkabe feat was last achieved by Cork, Dublin will finally emerge as the leading light in both codes of Gaelic Games.

Kilkenny are the team of the last decade in Hurling, Tipperary last September and Dublin in the league earlier this year have already shown that this is the case. With Kerry in serious decline and the traditional Ulster powerhouses also on the wane, I sens this is Dublins time. I think the fact that Dublin somehow surrendered an 8 point lead against Cork in the league final will serve them well. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can reach the top.

For 16 years we've played good football and blown it. Agree it was the worst game of football ever, but that's Donegals fault.

Dubs 4 Sam

Maybe but Kerry won't be quaking in their boots after that game! Could work in your favour though they might think the game is won!

Valid point Tipp dude but I think the Dublin you saw play against Tyrone will be the Dublin you'll see against Kerry. For a start Kerry are an attacking team and will not deploy the same spoiler tactics that Donegal did.

Both Brogans had an off day against Donegal and Connolly was harshly sent off while we were still trailing and we still managed to prevail. They say the sign of a good team is winning despite playing poorly.

Best of luck against the rotten Cats on Sunday dude.

Donegal are the Greece of GAA lol. Yeah hopefully ye can finally get the better of Kerry when it really counts! Nice to see someone different winning it! Cheers franko but have a nasty feeling KK will win it. They are an awesome team and have a point to prove after last season!

Wahoo and Tipp actually won! Shocked I have to say! A friend of mine from Kerry played them in a challenge game before the final and said they are poor so expected ye to woop them! It's all we will ever win in football though in fairness! Not expecting them to make much difference in seniors really! Did you have a few days off after the final Franko? I'd say half of Dublin phoned in sick on the Monday haha

I was over in Spain on a weeks holidays. Absolutely delighted and I'm giving a couple of the Kerry lads in the job a bit of stick today also. I actually didn't get to see the game, my sister was phoning me every few mins with updates. I went to three "Irish" bars that advertised they were showing the game, but instead were showing the EPL. Saw some clips on the net the following day but I've got the match recorded and will watch it tonight with a few tinnies.

Yeah dude, fair play on the minor title, maybe Tipp will be challening Kerry in the seniors in a few years time.

You missed it Franko??? Jesus you must have been the only Dub not to see it! Unbelievable finish to the game! After Kerry got the free out I expected them to go up and score the winner but fair play to the GK for keeping his nerve to slot over the winner! No don't think the minors win will make a difference to our senior team! We are useless haha! Thing is unlike KK football is really popular in Tipp but obviously we are just no good!
