    What passes for tackling these days is a joke. Lads just throwing fists in left right and centre.

    Hilarious irony there to Smalls injury- he tried to tackle a guy late and did his own shoulder!

    Plan B. Get your opponent sent off.

    Put Dublin in the Ulster championship and move cavan or monaghan into the leinster championship. There's no other leinster team able to compete with Dublin

    Kildare getting scrappy now, sense the ref is up for a bit of dub bashing

    There's only 1 team in Ulster able to compete with Dublin so it wouldn't make that much difference.

    Game is a farce now. ****ty off the ball stuff from both sides. Can't just blame Kildare.

    The 2 yellows rule is one I give out about every week ands it's the same again.

    I enjoy a bit of dubs bashing as much as the next man but Kilkenny and Connollys yellows were farcical. I also think Gary whites was too

    Bull. We thought the same last year and they came unstuck in spectacular fashion against Donegal. Very little between the top four teams. You cant compare Kildare to Kerry.

    Have seen enough here to doubt Dublin's chances of winning the All Ireland this year. The lack of competition in Leinster will continue to hurt them. You can still see periods where the Dubs switch off slightly which is natural when winning by 15 points. However, when playing at the end of the summer, you simply wont get to walk through teams like Kildare today. And there is space being left at the back due to a lack of intensity. The Dubs best chance of the All Ireland is if they get a tough quarter final draw. They come through that and it might help them. The huge squad can also be a hindrance as the 15 that will need to go to the wire later this year hasnt as much game time together at high intensity as the other teams. Bernard is having fun today, he wont be able to breathe against the likes of Donegal

    If Dublin had to play Donegal or Monaghan in Championship in a packed Clones it could be a whole different story.

    If this game against was played on the moon it wouldnt make much of a difference ill admit

    Then why not move Kilkenny to Munster championship in Hurling???

    And while we're at it, let move Barcelona to the english soccer premier league cause I think Stoke city will take them.
    We'll move Liverpool to Spain, just for the laugh.

    Not sure about that.

    Dublin destroyed Monaghan in a 5 minute burst last year.Once in a blue moon Monaghan might be able to put it up to them but Dublin are just too good and Donegal are the only team in Ulster that I think could compete with them consistently.

    It’s been difficult for the Dubs to rise to a game like the one today, even though they have obvious class. And Kildare didn’t want to play, all they wanted to do was foul and be cynical; then it’d be two yellows given. Good luck to them in Div 3 next yr.
    We should appreciate the quality that the Dubs have. Let's see where they go next.

    But you're ignoring part of his point ie game would be in Clones. Monaghan would find it far easier to restrict the space in Clones as opposed to the open spaces in Croker.

    I suppose my point is that you cant just flick a switch in September and turn it on. The Dubs have class and Connolly is brilliant to watch but they get zero test until at least August and then have to flick the switch. That is a problem in my opinion

    I say the likes of Donegal so you can insert any of the top teams in there. Donegal in September are a different animal to the Donegal in the league.

    The pitch in Clones is 142*87 metres. TheThe pitch in Croke park is 145.5*88 metres.

    There is barely any difference in the size of the pitch and it would make zero difference.

    Brolly calls Dublin v Derry league game "the death of football" yet this 19 point hammering was a joy to watch..
