Football Championship 2026 (Mod Note in OP)

Louth upping the tempo

Some catch!

I do chuckle about the comments that age poorly here.

it’s not a manager they need it’s a psychologist.

Well done Louth, a first win v Dublin since 1973 and lost to Dublin by 10 points a few weeks ago. Even today 6 points behind at half time a great 2nd half by them scoring 3-12.

I’m 42 this is the worst dublin team I’ll ever seen . , team in 98-01 was bad these are septic

Welcome to the norm for most of the rest of us suffering supporters around the country.

Difference is Dublin will come back. It might take a couple of years but you have too many resources and structures for it to be a long term thing. What is staggering is the scale of the fall off.

In my opinion (which some would definitely not agree with) they are relying on players with All Irelands who were fringe/average players on a team surrounded by generational players at the time. And then they’ve 2 great players left that have declined or been injured.

Kobe is a joy to watch

Mayo kicked 5 two pointers in that half.

They scored 3 two pointers in the whole of last years championship.

Edit was actually 6 two pointers in the 1st half

Mayo are hugely open at the back. A better side would have buried 3 goals already this half. Monaghan have no conviction when they get into dangerous positions

Certain footballers are so smooth, silky and natural. I preferred watching Matt Connor, Maurice Fitz, Diarmuid Connolly, Mattie Forde and now Kobe to other greats.

David Clifford is probably the goat. He has everything. But I prefer watching those I mentioned. Peter Canavan was another great who was all shimys, dummys, jerky movements who wasn't in my all time favourites to watch.
