    When Murchan puts the burners on like a mini Usain Bolt all i can see is the Kerry net bulging.

    Brilliant score, must have been about 25 passes in the leadup, good smart, patient and decisive football.

    Galway look very tired all of a sudden.

    Our game management going down the stretch is second to none.

    Its a league game with nothing to play for, a short time before Championship.

    Dublin are absolutely right to kill this game, and exert as little effort as possible

    Absolutely. Fair play to them. Hard watching for the neutral. Galway probably happy to lose by a few points.

    This will be a a good win. Always feel Galway are a team that could have an AI in them one day and relegation candidates the next. You never know what's going to happen with them.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Pity there was nothing to play for today but apart from obvious little issues much better today. In fairness the league was there to be won. We dropped some very silly points. Kerry look the favourites for the championship I think there's a lot of obvious changes in the Dublin panel and staff Kerry will benefit from last year.

    Will be a weird championship one way or another.

    Solid win. I said we'd put 10 points on Galway in the second half. We only put 8 on them so plenty to work on :)

    There's been very little competitive football played (obviously)
    Teams that progress in the championship and get a few matches under
    their belt will improve in sharpness and we'll see a truer picture of where
    everyone stands.

    True but I think there's a lot of changes in that Dublin setup and this season will catch them out I hope I'm wrong but from what I've seen I dunno!

    Pretty average performance against a poor team.

    Quick look on Galway thread and i see Philly being called a tramp that will never change. One of the best corner backs in the country for 10 years or more. Five or 6 All Ireland's. And more importantly a brilliant man off the pitch. Yea lets hope he never changes. A class act.

    Thought the Galway half backs were impressive today. They stifled a number of Dublin attacks from getting up and running. They visibly tired after about an hour of play though such was the effort required.

    Never change what? A finger in the eye followed by a fist in the mouth the blindside of the referee. Nothing wrong with being classy on the field either.

    Yeah, I got the impression Dublin were just waiting until Galway tired, and could afford to be patient. Something only a team with confidence and a winning mentality can do - I suppose it is GAA muscle memory at this stage.

    Like others though, I definitely feel Dublin are dipping overall.
    Hopefully if all goes to plan Dublin will play Kerry in the AI again this year.
    Would love to see if muscle memory would be enough to fend off that Kerry crowd. Weather will probably be manky as well so that will be another variable.

    The result would have a major impact on how I enjoy my Turkey.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Quote on Galway thread 'Philly is a tramp that will never change'. I thought he was lucky not to see yellow for a wild swing but to call the man that is out of order. He's rarely been sent off in his long career. Sails close to the wind at times but plays it hard and fair.

    Not too bizarre. The amount of walkovers going on is unbelievable. Some teams are so fearful of getting locked down by a positive test and not being able to field a team. I'm surprised they're allowing players out of their houses at all, to be honest.


    Well that certainly wasn't Kennys train of thought. Laois had challenge games. Granted they've a bigger pool of potential opponents. Some football teams had challenge games in the lead up to the league restarting.
