Great football.

Don't know. Looks much more like handball to me. Just turned it off.

Ballymun teaching the southsiders a lesson here. Playing quality football in the process.

Paddy Small a class above. He’ll be a top level inter county player for a good 10 years.

Some hit! Yellow fair.

Thought he was blessed to get yellow myself. Looks worse with every replay. Shoulder straight to the jaw. Couldnt have complained with a red.

Very enjoyable game so far. Ballymun playing like they have a extra man all over the pitch. Able to play out from the back with confidence, pressuring well up front and winning the middle third kicking some fine scores with it. Very impressive. If ever there was a team to make a case for a split club and county season, Ballymun are it. As much as I enjoy watching those lads doing their thing for Dublin, its great to see them in full flow for the club when in other years they were coming in tired and nowhere near full tilt after a tough county campaign.

Have no skin in the game but wanted to see Ballymun do it and they've been fantastic that first half.

They're making a good team look really ordinary.

Slattsy

Boden are really not helping themselves here at all. Some atrocious wides and decisions. Keeper have a mare from the kickouts, up there with Clarke.

Just stuck it on there. Was not expecting that scoreline.

Mainlining the Lyons gold blend today.

Did have a Ponaire connoisseur blend this morning though. So you're half right.

Mun are so direct. Refreshing to see.
Boden ****ing about when they get into attacking areas.
They need to get a hold quick or there wont be enough time

Chalk McHugh

Once the malaise sets in there's no coming back. Boden's heads have long dropped. It's turning in to a horror show.

Chalk McHugh

The Boden keeper is having a kicking nightmare. He'd want to find a new barber too. I hope his hair do is the last of the mohicans.

Chalk McHugh

Fair play to John Small burying Keaney to the deck. No harm at all as Keaney being dishing it out for years.

prettyboy81

Some hit by John Small.

mcgragger

Paddy Small gets off the deck after that.

That should be used on coaching videos all over the country. Timed to perfection and as clean a hit as you'll ever see. Great to see it executed so well.

Sultan of Bling

Keaney seeing stars after that.

Fantastic shoulder.

Chalk McHugh

Keaney seeing stars alright: and their all wearing Ballymun jerseys.

Chalk McHugh

Congrats to Ballymun. Very worthy winners of the Dublin championship 2020.

Biggest margin in a final for a long time I think? Nice tribute to the Small family at the end. MDM is getting fierce fkn cranky in his old age. Was lucky to stay on.

And not even a bar open to drown his sorrows

I was thinking Raheny would not have lost to Ballymun by that much. Boden seemed to lack the levels of fitness to keep closing down.

What convinced me was indeed Boden's display against Raheny who no harm to them wouldn't even be senior anymore without the two Brians.

That and Ballymun beating Crokes after Crokes had hammered the bejesus out of Vinnies who had similarly hammered Clontarf.

Anyway, great to see. I'd fancy them to give Corofin a run for it if the club championship is ever finished. Or are they even planning to?

Just seen that Corofin got beaten today! That's as big a shock as Dublin losing Leinster.

Corofin were knocked out today. 49 games in Galway SFC finally over.

No provincial or AI club series this year. County championship.and that's it.

Felt really odd missing all these great games in Parnell. By instinct I wanted to travel down. First time it properly hit me.

Think provincials won't be on? I was told Mountbellew beat Corofin.

Bonniedog

None according to wirelessdude. I thought they might have been planning to start them after Christmas.

Great article doing the rounds this morning about Macker

https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/mccarthy-ballymun-win-means-as-much-as-any-dubs-success-39571111.html

So very refreshing hearing that from the man. I traveled back to Philadelphia after the 2017 county final, completely depressed thinking those same thoughts as Smally and Macker had. I became resentful of all the success of the county team, thinking it came, un-proportionally, at our expense. The performance on the field on Sunday, the pictures and comments afterwards made a lot of that go away. I still wonder what might have been but that’s for another time. What I have no doubt about is the joy I felt on Sunday was way ahead of anything I felt since 2012/2103.
