    Her only contributions to discussion are to comment on how class Dublin are and how they're the bee's knees. Even Darragh Moloney isn't as big a sycophant as her.

    It’s gone to the dogs at this stage. When you know the result before a match starts it’s a bad sign of things

    I don’t even know what the answer is

    O'Shea has heard so many interviews written about Dublin's dominance. Keep on hearing, O'Shea.

    No. She wants to talk about the "other counties" not the financial advantage Dublin have.

    She brought up the topic, the lads all contributed, commenting on money, population, coaching, managements etc.

    What exactly do you want her to do, given they had less than 5 minutes?
    Seriously?

    Sean Cavanagh is spot on.., fair fûcks for not letting himself be shouted down and interrupted by that absolute eejit O’Rourke.

    Fitzsimons grabbed around the neck, 8 feet in front of the ref.

    Just reading over the thread and I’m sure my name gives away my bias but I’m a bit lost as to why you’d be unhappy with the ref. For example:

    1. A number of high tackles by Dublin players went unpunished. Jason McLoughlin was thrown around like a rag doll round his neck on the sideline and got nothing. Even commentary mentioned it would have been very unfair if Dublin got a score after it.
    2. Cooper pulled down Martin Reilly. It was a free and a pull down so where was the black card? Cavan players have got black cards this year for far less.
    3. Philly McMahon blatantly holds Galligan’s arm when the high ball was played in. How the ref did not see it I do not know because I could see it from the crap camera angle and the replay clearly showed it.
    4. Ridiculous sending off of Galligan at the end.

    And that’s only the stuff I can think of. Your constant posts that somehow Dublin were hard done by this evening by the referee are infuriating to be honest.

    I wouldn't worry. Dubs always need to find a way to feel persecuted. They'll win 10 in a row and they'll be crying about culchies not marvelling at the AIG Bluebirds

    She didn't bring up the financial doping topic, O Rourke did. She tells him to stop talking about it and later starts waffling about what the other counties have to do, so she tried to steer the conversation away from Dublins advantages all the time.

    Ok.

    When Cavans legs went around the 50 minute mark, they resorted to fouling to try and slow down the Dublin attack.. unsophisticated, unsportsmanlike.

    Galligan deserved to go, he could have seriously injured the Dublin player, a shoulder charge into the chin, zero attempt to play the ball, get the ball, even slow down play.. he could have knocked his teeth out. Full on shoulder charge into the chest and chin. Manky, dirtbag style play, red all day.

    The break up of Dublin grows closer.

    And/or hopefully the death of all the provincial championships.

    Plus would Dublin will be split as under two County Board's. Or spilt as two separate entitles under one County Board?

    Next question after that how would this break up be funded and by whom? New stadiums needed?

    Also, which counties will be amalgamated as one entity under one County Board. Or merged as two separate entitles under one County Board.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    They should start with 2 teams, keep the hurling as one county team. review it every two or 3 seasons and if there is a need to divide into 3 or 4 then implement that. There needs to be a plan

    The spectre of Dublin looms over everything in the GAA. Yea there is another thread, but when you see Dublin dole out humiliating hammerings every game, you realise that it doesnt really matter who wins tomorrow.

    The question how have we landed in this situation and what can be done to save the All Ireland football championship?

    I am looking forward to tomorrow but still think Mayo will win in the end by 5 or 6 points.

    As for the Final I wouldn't be surprised If I was to stop watching at half time, Dublin are too fit and too physically strong for any team to go toe to toe for 60 mins not to mind 70+. It is kind of despairing really.

    You're confusing two players. Cavan no 12 made the shoulder to chest not player that was sent off.

    I'm neutral and thought ref missed obvious black card for Cooper.

    The question is not what they do to Dublin but what can they do for other counties. You cant stop funding as that will unfairly hit clubs. Splitting Dublin into multiple teams will do nothing as the Dublin structure and how they train is through out the county. So the question is how can they help other counties

    You've the wrong man. Gilligan didn't put that hit on McCarthy. He got sent off for mouthing at the ref. Very silly

    Other teams need to get stronger and fitter then... Cluxton, a teacher can do it, McCarthy a bank employee can, and does... soooo...

    Dublin led 17 points to 8 after about 50 minutes... I don’t think fitness told in the game I was watching... creativity, teamwork, skills, accurate shooting, passing certainly did... an excellent performance...:)

    I'm not going to question Dublins advantages tonight.
    I'm still hopeful mayo will put it up to them if they can get their.
