You forget how Mayo came back against Dublin last year.This Mayo team have shown more mental and testicular fortitude than anyone else to come back year after year after heartbreak. A team showing mental fragility? See Dublin 2014 when they shat the course after Donegal sucker punched them and Dublin still had enough chances to win the game but fluffed chance after chance after chance - all epitomised by the most overrated, flaky sunshine boy of them all in Diarmuid Connolly. Now Connolly might make me eat my words on Sunday but seeing as his late point against Kerry was the first time he ever did anything against a top team in a tight championship game I doubt it.
I doubt that Castlebar Mitchells share your opinion of Dermie

So with the rumours that Rock is injured, is it safe to assume Andrews starts if he misses out?
Brogan has had a poor year by his very high standards, would he be given free taking responsibilities without Rock there? Or would it go to Connolly?
"So with the rumours that Rock is injured"............ ......what a waste of time the last two days of Rock v COC has been !!

Club. Connolly isn't even one of the top 6 forwards in Dublin, never mind the frankly bewildering eulogising of this show pony as somehow the best in Ireland. He's a luxury player. Grand for shooting the lights out against Westmeath and Laois or bringing off the bench to keep the soccer crowd on Hill 16 entertained if the Dubs are 10 points up but he has never failed to go hiding (or get himself sent off) against good opposition when the Dubs are under pressure.0 -

"Soccer crowd"
We'll hear every cliché under the sun no doubt between now and 4.45 Sunday, when you are all going home with your tails between your legs. Again.0 -

True story - I was in the Cusack for the All Ireland final in 2013, and as we were walking around the back of the Hill with our tails between our legs, a group of Dublin fans were leaving just in front of us and talking about nothing other than United being hammered by City at the time.
Just after winning an All Ireland, can't turn those soccer heads away from it for one afternoon.0 -

I think it's his eloquent choice of words that may annoy some more so than his opinion.
Whatever about being a troll or not, it was clearly designed to get a rise rather than make a point.
Thinking that shouldn't be taken as a need for reassurance as to how great Dublin are.
because the Dubs dont make over the top remarks to get a rise out of everyone else
Ah, there is a lot of that with Dubs fans though, this mockery and offence if you don't bow down to the team. A kind of "admit it, we are the best, its stupid to say otherwise" opinion.
Its fair enough thinking it but a lot of posters over the last few weeks seem to need to persuade you how good they are (or even make you convince them or reassure them such) And some just don't let it go!
Confidence in your players is great and rare in team sport forums these days and inner harmony between fans which Dubs seem to have but they more often than not can't handle anything other county fans picking criticisms and fail to see any logic to their opinions which results in stupid round and round repetitive pointless debates like the "he is a better free taker" one that really took over the thread last few days and dismissing any points or disagreements others may have.
It is just something I have observed. Whilst it doesn't show delusionment backing up an exceptional Dublin team, it does get fierce annoying that "the us against the rest of the country" attitude is installed in many (not all) Dublin fans.0 -

Another true story, leaving Croke Park devastated after the 2006 semi final and overheard two girls in Mayo jerseys. One asked the other "who are we playing in the final?", "not sure" replied the other.
We could get a few pages out of this one!0 -

I heard all Dublin fans saying that before the ball was thrown in against Donegal in 2014 also 0 -

We could indeed.
I'm delighted it's Dublin we're playing now, the craic just isn't the same off the Kerry crowd. This will be a great weekend in Dublin, dying to get out of work now.0 -

I think it's just for the match programme. Squad numbers would do away with it, but much prefer the current situation.
I don't understand people complaining about line ups and subsequent changes, it's just more to talk about really.
Nah, I am on about the media exposure mainly. I am sure they could swear the programme makers to secrecy! Plus even if they didnt, they can just give them the wrong team anyway! 0 -
