No need to rub it in their faces When you live in Dublin and all you hear all year is Dublins divine right to win it then you'd get me. I get a fair bit of abuse I tell ya.

mrtierneyesquire. . . . . can you do a post where you analyse Bannon's performance from a Dubliners point of view describing incidents that you feel either went against you or could have gone for you (something along the lines of Peig's post on page 7 of this thread). I know you are a bit outnumbered here and the backlash could be ten posts long but it would be interesting for the sake of debate

I know you are a bit outnumbered here and the backlash could be ten posts long but it would be interesting for the sake of debate Good idea. I was just thinking today, as I was cycling home, overtaking a Garda car in Ballymun, that I will some night this week watch every "incident" in the re-runs of the game, and write down how I score it, as in: "fair decision" or unfair, and to whom. It's probably worthless, as on matchday we all have our view which sees more of what's given against our team, and that will always be the way, but my gripe is certainly with this endless propoganda about referees (amongst other things), that is used by supporters of counties to make themselves always appear somehow disadvantaged or victimised. In the heat of battle it's understandable, but away from that it's at best disingenuous and in reality just dishonest and manipulative

Some Dubs' perspectives: I learned a lot of things on Sunday and would like to share some with you all. Omens are a load of bollix so in future so I might take up Zoroastrianism instead Being Cynical, time wasting diving, head butting and elbowing wins games NOT being mouthy and naïve. Judging by the amount of water carriers from the Kerry team they must be the thirstiest feckers ever Jayus I am stopping now as I have just read back and its beginning to sound like a desperate cry for help HELP…… To Kerry good luck in the final … And have a look at this: www.reservoirdubs.com/forum/index.php?topic=915.15#msg17574

We have no problem with ANY other ref On the TV programme KERRY THE GREEN AND GOLD which was shown immediately after the match last sunday....Tony Hanahoe was complaining about Aldridges refereeing.......... nearly 30 years after the match in question......................

No sign of Darragh Moloney on the commentary.....!! Or had they trampled Kevin McStay already.....? As always, John Bannon was right on top of the action - in the car a mile away!!

This was said three days before last years All Ireland final, by one of the most respected posters here, Seamus. Earlier today I prediced Dublin to win by few points, and there are a few reasons why. 1) The management have been almost glacial like in their decision making, in terms of tactics and personnel on and off the pitch. Time and time again this has been mentioned, during the league and particularly after the Cork and Monaghan games. If Dublin go on a run, as they are want to do against all types of opposition, and they start dragging our players all over the field, I'm not confident that the call to the player to move back, not follow his man etc etc, will be made, or can be made. There will be changes on the Kerry team annouced, we all know that. However, will they have been made on the basis of people looking for change or due to a full understanding of how we need to beat Dublin? That's what worries me. 2) We haven't had a strong performance since last year. We have etched out results during the league and championship, but we have never lit the stage up. Cork should have beaten us in Killarney. They should have had that penalty and won with about four points to spare. Monaghan were very nieve and could well have earned a draw if they had been a bit more clever with how they used their limited possession in the last ten minutes. Waterford.....the Haitian guy selling sugar cane outside the door of my office would have beaten them on his own.....throughout the league also - there was never the impression that we were comfortable in ourselves and confident / hungry, even in winning. That's the reality of the situation as I see it. The last time we gave a truly outstanding performance was last year. I believe the players want to win this, but I'm not sure if they have been given the proper ammo to do this, and whether they are comfortable in how they are playing at the moment. Cork were a coming team, and are now in the All Ireland. Dublin were the other coming team, and have kept on rolling this year, taking any challenge thrown at them and surmounted it, even if it meant winning ugly / downright awful. That's why I think they will win and Kerry will lose. Dublin have that drive, that zeal about them. We look like we're stumbling from game to game with excuse after excuse being offered for every problem we have. They have weaknesses, in Cullen defending players running at him, in Ross McConnell at full back, in the potential for one or more of their forwards to misfire, as Keaney, Moran and Brogan (A) have done more than once in the past. Even if we crowd midfield to stop Whelan taking flight as is his style, bringing in Tommy Griffin as a third midfielder to tighten up around the middle and secure ball into the inside three, are we confident in the type of ball going in? Are we confident in the Kerry back six being pulled all over the place if they man mark as I suspect they will? I feel not. I geniunely hope I'm wrong, and will be delighted to come on here on Sunday evening and apologise if I'm wrong and we win. I hope we do. I'll be shouting at my loudest at home, screaming at the laptop. But, in calling the match, I'm worried and believe we will be beaten. I'm interested in your thoughts after the game ASA? It was a well thought-out analysis of where we were, but I think the team answered much of your questions on Sunday. Not all. But damn near most. And as for the apology.... we'll let you off this time! we all give our opinions as we see them............ sometimes we get them wrong ...... sometimes they are right he was calling it as he saw it. thats what makes this forum so interesting.

I suppose its only cheating if you get caught In short, Yes. Competition Controls Committee chairman Jimmy Dunne: “It is very difficult to punish a player if an incident is not captured by the television cameras. You have to back up any claims of wrongdoing. When you look at it, we have four umpires, two linesmen and a referee in Gaelic games. “If they didn’t see anything and if it is not captured on video, then it is virtually impossible to prove. A lot of people come away from a game with a different story of an event. It is very difficult to have any clear unambiguous evidence. “If Dublin, or any team, claim that one of their players was struck, they would need video evidence to back up the claim and then we would ask the match officials to consider that evidence and proceed from there.” did anyone who posts here actually see what Paul Galvin did or didn't do? We don't need heresay or bull* talk. I think Galvin has enough to put up with off the field from so called experts on tv and in print. did anyone who posts here actually see what Paul Galvin did or didn't do? We don't need heresay or bull talk. Pony, any comments here will be removed, - as how could any comment be relied upon to be anything but heresay. then any comment at all about it should be removed?

Always defended referees, but John Bannon was inexcusable. Kerry are no angels, but every decision only went one way. Dub supporters were great. Was in the Lower Hogan, plenty colour, plenty craic, great sportsmanship after they lost. Have to mention the stewards for the Luas. Quick, efficient, friendly, all with a big, hurrying crowd. Sometimes public servants do a fantastic job. As do Kerry management. Brilliant tactically. Especially delighted for Padraig Reidy - I didn't rate him at all, he proved me wrong. Lot of talk about Scanlan's two wild misses, not enough about his great ball-winning. I though he was excellent. I like bringing Donaghy out, but Gooch away from goal is only half a Gooch. I don't want him "dictating play", I want him dictating the bloody scoreboard. Scared of Cork. Great defence, great midfield, improved forwards. I thought they had brought in Cussen as a big rooter - he can play. Donncadh O'Connor always could, but now he's scoring as well. No problem with Noel O'Leary playing - too many witch hunts going on already. Plus I really do believe that he is only a Paul Galvin minus the footballing ability.
