Nope. This was a dublin win since april

Dublin will hardly play that poorly in the next game

We'll hardly score two own goals

In fairness Mayo deserve credit for not allowing the Dubs to play
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Sunday, 18 September 2016 16:15 (eight years ago) link
Lads it's a slow study that will get excited about this. We're precisely where we were this morning, seventy minutes from either a humiliating or maddening loss in a croker final.
Mayo, God help us.

Perennial sleeping giants and serial losing finalists Mayo take on Dublin tomorrow, 3.30pm. Beg, borrow or steal a stream, marvel at the brawn and desire of the amateurs on the park, ask yr friendly GAA posters what the hell it takes for a foul to be called, why hands are allowed and how knowing when to take yr point is a key cornerstone of malevolent irish rural psyche.
Enjoy the match. Boo the Dubs. Mayo, god help us.

I was right, that said we threw that away. 7 minutes injury time was outrageous, Connolly sideline kick droppable offence, heinous, awful.
Worst Dublin performance in years, gotta feel Mayo threw that away tho.

Perhaps as tv spectators the wet pitch and its effect is hard to understand - the quality was woeful.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 18 September 2016 18:15 (eight years ago) link
Agreed, though that would have suited us far more than ye. Dublin hardly set out to stop mayo playing.
― poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 18 September 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, my overall feeling, particularly in the weird moments after your first spell second half, is that the game was begging to be won, and some terrible attempts happened.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 18 September 2016 19:27 (eight years ago) link
Like holy Jesus it was there for Mayo, and not taken
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 18 September 2016 19:28 (eight years ago) link
It got very sloppy in the 2nd half, mistakes all over place yet it was fun to watch as a neutral all the same. Bernard Brogan was shite today
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Sunday, 18 September 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
No way the dubs play as bad again, no way

Were you at Croker, Darragh? Cos someone who looked like yrself in a grey hoodie and mayo jersey popped up on the telly looking glum on the 75th min there
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Saturday, 1 October 2016 17:48 (seven years ago) link
Saw him but looked more like one of the omalleys from louisburgh
― poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Saturday, 1 October 2016 18:10 (seven years ago) link
I was gonna photo him! Had that exact thought. Dublin play with fear up front, like they get bollocked for shooting if the percentage isn't high enough, thankfully Costello hasn't been brainwashed like that. Also for a team that barely ever score goals we sure are obsessed with trying to engineer them. I know, moaning after we won two in a row. It was a stunning game.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Saturday, 1 October 2016 18:30 (seven years ago) link
Fully agreed, both last time out and today dub could have put the game to bed but we're holding back shooting from V reachable distance
Great game, no shame in losing it
― poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Saturday, 1 October 2016 18:48 (seven years ago) link
Gk decision couldn't have gone much worse but we were much better and it's probable that Hennelly s kicking was a factor in that so.....
― poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Saturday, 1 October 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link
Imagine it went to extra time. Like that's prob a human rights abuse.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Saturday, 1 October 2016 18:58 (seven years ago) link
This time around the bench strength told. I'm still confused about it not doing so last time tbh.
Worthy winners and a truly great team tbf, can play a few ways and don't rely on one or two individuals.
Next year is our year
― poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Saturday, 1 October 2016 22:57 (seven years ago) link
the decision to change the keeper was remarkably bad. i guess rochford will still survive for next year though.
challops warning but, imo aidan o'shea is shit, he never scores, he is terrible at shooting, and for a big guy he actually ends up rolling around on the ground a lot and isn't actually able to batter through people, though he keeps trying. did he even score a point in either of the finals?
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 2 October 2016 08:13 (seven years ago) link
He's shit in this system, I don't think that's a challop. In a system that suited him he was imo the best footballer in the country. Both systems got us to finals but are p much radically different approaches to the game. Hard to say what fine margins could be eked out either way for the sake of argument really. When oshea was great we were the best footballing team in the country and should've won one. The past couple of years feel much more like an incremental gains systemic approach where we are predictable and consistent and as a result made a final this year that we might not have expected to.
Think there's definitely room to introduce more talent and intent in that midfield and not be so reactive, but the system is probably here to stay and that's likely due to gavins success in deploying the same method and attitude with Dublin imo, it's the current benchmark.

What's happened? Do you hate Tyrone when they're playing football or hurling, I can't remember? Or just in general?

― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 30 July 2017 16:22 (seven years ago) link
It's a combo of being surrounded by shite, being the big player in the team, his own inconsistency and rarely doing it when it counts.
Overrated, yeah, at this stage.
Most ever? Ah now cmon.
― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Sunday, 30 July 2017 16:26 (seven years ago) link
he's just not good! he scored something like two fucking points in the entire championship last year. and he goes to ground a lot. i don't get the hype at all, he's nowhere near the level of a keegan or o'connor.
