    It's funny no one ever complained when the Cork ladies were winning all those all irelands.

    Thats because some people believe that Cork's titles were down to hard work and natural talent while Dublin's are down solely to money.

    We know that's nonsense. But if it helps them cope with Dublin's dominance then so be it

    Better than seeing Cork win 9 in a row.

    Fully agreed. I was sick to death of Cork winning every year and was cheering you on. Would love to see someone else win it now. Pity it can't be a mixture of winners instead of one team dominating followed by another doing the same.

    Yeah it would be nice to see two competitive teams pity one dipped while the other went the other way. I can't remember which year it was but I remember roaring and cursing at the telly after Dublin ladies collapsed v the Cork ladies.
    The Dubs were miles ahead. Might even have happened a couple of times!

    First thought was they were like the 00's Dubs men's team, flakey as hell.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Two years in a row, if my flakey memory is correct. I remember at the time thinking that they'd never make it, there was just something wrong in the minds of all Dublin teams.

    They lost a big lead to Cork through sheer head staggers. Mad aimless kick outs which basically set up a siege. Remember another year on Canal end with daughter in 200s when they were beaten by a last ditch goal (Cora Staunton?) by Mayo.

    Love watching them and they showed great heart yesterday, but get the impression that they coming back to a pack of very good teams including Armagh and a resurgent Cork and Sinead will be a massive loss in final. Equivalent to 4/5 points imho.

    But we’ll be back on our home pitch of Croker, that alone adds the 4/5 points back.... ;-)

    That Leinster championship thread has turned into another mess. You'd almost think McKenna has made clones of himself to post on every site discussing Dublin GAA.

    2009 final was the only ladies final I was at. And we absolutely had a meltdown that day. After the men's QF earlier on in the year I basically figured I would never see us win an AI.

    Mc kenna indeed seems to pop up in different media outlets to drone on and on about the big bad dubs .It appears to be his mission in life to make everyone aware how unfair it is that the Dubs are winning .Mind you I love winning and I love the idea he and his buddies are fuming about us winning .

    Haha I gave up, even facts get ignored. Took them ages to concede partly Kildare / Meath's fault who went backwards. Plus there was another who tried claim Micko did not bring in imports because they lived and worked there. But I pointed out Karl got his job after he left Kerry to join his dad. They did not like that!:D

    I'm pretty sure the other thread was closed by the mods and the Leinster championship thread has devolved into the same rubbish.

    I reckon the mild peatiness of the Talisker 10 will complement the saltiness of the bacon.

    I'd be avoiding the Talisker at all costs, it's probably the worst Scotch I've ever tried. It's cheap but not cheerful.

    Bowmore is solid, a good all rounder. But Glendronach the best bang for your buck out there, an unbelievable dram.

    Lagavulin is the man you want over Christmas.

    Not a chance he'll be picked for coming games after stepping aside, wouldn't be fair. Interesting though.

    Yea would be short time frame to expect to feature, and played no club football since September? Maybe it's just for a positive influence, he'd be a well liked player.

    Though I was surprised Connolly was recalled last year. He didn't look up to the pace in the All Ireland bar that pass which was more miss hit

    The problem with discussing it here is that it attracts the same people who ruined that other thread. It's all grand discussing it amongst ourselves (even if it would be a a bit of an echo chamber), but someone will come in with the same drivel, and if it explodes in here, then I'm wading through pages and pages of posts that I don't care about.

    Leave them at it in other threads I say.

    Fair point, the poor auld GAA refs and/or mods side of things is never thought of! :D

    I would say positive influence and would give the place a lift. Same with Connolly teams know what he is capable of even half fit for a few minutes. Plus lifted the crowd (not factor now unfortunately). If I was a tired back with 60ish gone I wouldn't want to see Jack Mc warming up.

    Oh, I'm not a mod on this forum, just don't want to rehash arguments that are going nowhere! I'm all up for a useful discussion, no matter how heated it gets, but once it starts going around in circles, I just check out.

    I got the Talisker as I'm still waiting on a bottle of Bowmore to arrive.

    Hopefully next week... Hopefully...
