Shambles of a championship, GAA need to act immediately.

The report is in and we've decided not enough non nationals are playing in Tallaght so we're giving Dublin an extra 5 million on a 3 year trial. If we don't see results we'll up it to 10.

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

Probably. The dubs against the dubs would at least be an actual game and some curiosity over what the result will be.

Anything to be said for a mercy rule? 25 more minutes of this!

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.

I suppose it’s Dublins fault that the Rossies are down to 14 and it’s a stroll? It was t that long ago Kerry we’re giving Dublin a hiding and the nation was rejoicing.
I get it, we’re it liked. Long may it continue. You should follow Ewan MacKenna on Twitter, you’re kinda guy.

I think Dublin supporters deep down are bored of this craic too. You won't hear them admit it though, it will be the usual 'team for the ages', 'Kilkenny in da hurling' etc etc.

If you think the interest and attendances are diminishing now, give it another couple of years. Anto and Mary won't even bother going to The Hill, they'll be watching it on the box and turning off after fifteen minutes like the rest of the country.

As an FYI to everyone, the bitterness and whining over advantages makes it all the sweeter: it just means we’ve nearly broken your spirit.

Refs normally do that when games become lobsided like this one

It's Bertie and the GAA's fault. Nobody is blaming Dublin.

Yes, another soft free too. Poor officiating, score shouldn’t come into it..,at that Dublin forward dragged to the ground and nada,

How Soon Is Now

Dublin making so many changes has ruined there flow.

Awful ****e last while now.

This is it

I know it's hard to stay competitive and "up for it" being 15 points or so in front but Dublin have been fairly poor in the second half

The PEDs are working well for the Dubs today.

windy shepard henderson

top 3 or 4 teams in the country v dublin and its 50/50 , everyone else its a turkey shoot ,

to put it into perspective , there is 12 points in the game with 12 minutes left roscommon lost to tyrone by 4 points , tyrone lost to dublin by 6 last year , ,donegal and kerry along with mayo would still be stronger sides again would roscommon be much closer to any of them 3 sides

my point is i would expect at this stage of the game , dublin would be very much up against it against the two ulster or kerry or mayo teams ,

the fact is the gap in between is huge

Strumms

Ok, this ref is a fûckin joke.

Really disappointed with not bringing Brogan on here as well. Very hard on him deserves better.

They should just ban the Pale from the GAA. Sure most of them aren't Gaels they're descended from the Normans and Brits. Ruining our games. More at home with Shamrock Rovers in their pub soccer league.

Think you might need a history lesson.

Game was made for him and Connolly
Gavin doesn't do sentiment

Haha, I'd love some of what you're having

Strumms

If you were to be critical, you’d say Dublin could have been more lethal and tried to create a few more goal chances.

I'm looking forward to Tyrone and Dublin in omagh
Tyrones running game can hurt the dubs who's defence looks suspect so far this year.

In fairness he meant top 3 or 4 against Dublin. If Kerry, Tyrone and Donegal all played Dublin together then 45 vs 15 might even things up a bit.

I'd personally have been GAA mad all my life. The last few years I've been attending far less football matches and more from other sports like soccer, rugby and hurling.

I remember when KK hammered Limerick and Waterford I felt a dark shadow over the championship. That was thankfully lifted but I feel a much bigger shadow over football now. At least those hurling matches with KK were much more exciting to watch.
