And its all too easy as well! Game over as a contest pretty much before half time!

It is, a man down and a rake of points.

The catalyst for that ? Great play, indiscipline on behalf of the opposition, preparation, ability, determination and skill... beautiful.

Yeah kick passing from Dublin has been great so far.

Much much more direct than usual

Don't forget the money and semi professional setup.

36030 attendance. So more than last week.

And probably 30,000 are Dubs😉

So blessed too be on the hill now witnessing this Dublin team in the flesh. It'll be something too tell the grandchildren all about.

This is getting messier than that 7-1 Dutch Brazil pumping video I just found online after seeing it mentioned in here. Not sure why it was brought up in a sporting context, better watch it again in case I missed anything...

How Soon Is Now

It's only boring if it's not your team in fairness.

Didnt hear Kerry or Kilkenny fans complaining when it was them. In fact you heard very few complain in general....

Wonder why....

Have to laugh at the media bigging up Donegal, Tyrone and Kerry as contenders - as if anyone will lay a glove on this Dublin team

They are sheer awesome. A mile the best side in the country

I can't see them winning any remaining game by less than 10 points

Roscommon win Connacht, great. And then get smashed out the gate at the next stage. Embarrassing that this is the best a provincial champion can do.

It’s a team for the ages, the way they play the game is to be lauded...

Very poor attendance for a double header it seems mainly Dubs, nobody at the first match. Dublin is expensive day out.

It’s completely watchable, Dublin are playing beautiful football.

If you can’t appreciate near perfection from a team then you are not a sports fan.

No problem. With it being on sky there's probably more people in the stadium than actually watching it on TV.

John Horan and Paul Flynn will be giggling their boys have done it again. And the mugs still think they're neutral.

People generally watch sport because it's the competition that drives the interest. The idea of anything could happen and seeing teams or individuals competing on a fairly even keel. When one team is so utterly dominant and destroys the opposition, the sense of sporting competition dies. Fans lose interest in one horse races very quickly.

Jesus great finish by Michael.

He's normally not so assured up front.

Aboy Mick, delighted for him

The beauty of sport is from competition and tactics from two closely matched forces under equal conditions. There's nothing to appreciate from professionally conditioned athletes on their home turf running rings around amateurs in front of a half empty uninterested crowd.
It's really sad it's come to this when you think of how exciting and important Gaelic football used to feel.

Not quite, 2-18;for Dublin.

I mean he tends to pass it around a lot in forward positions.

His goals have come getting ball very close to goal.

Sure look they have all been well taken goals I just usually get worried about him bombing forward then turning around ha.

Nothing. Do you?

Two extra counties playing though. It's another terrible attendance from the capital. Long gone are the days where most Dub fans would be bothered turning up. Can't blame them

Its not a sport at this stage just a training session.

Dublin training sessions are far more intense than this embarrassing spectacle.
