Maybe to a point but maybe the point was made at h-t. I felt it was just Dublins movement and a lack of defensive structure that was Kildares issue early on. Very hard to be physical and stand guys up when they are coming at you in drives.
That’s it sow it into the cunts.

Commentator not even knowing the rules
Ffs sake
Red Rover. No coming back now.
Oh brilliant, a chippy keeper.
Aren’t they all?
Ah yeah. Apart from @Bandage who is a gentleman. Again, his quirky penalty distraction style seemed a little pathetic with the scoreline and then his botched kick just after it.
Andrews would have tried to score himself there in previous years I think.
Dublin get away with wrap tackling a lot.
The fact that there are rules “open to inturpitation of the referee” makes the whole game slightly laughable. Certainly from a rules/officiating POV.

Kilkenny is very pigeon toed in the tradition of a lot of nippy forwards
Dublin and Mayo are the two sides who operate this as they both play a running game and push so many men forward they foul very cynically on the opposition breaking out from defence and stop them from exploiting the space left.
It’s not refereed properly, guys like Cillian O’Connor, McLoughlin, O’Gara, Flynn and MacAuley are extremely cynical in this and never really get punished for it.
Brolly is sickening when he eulogizes about Dublin’s ability to be flat track bullies.

Flynn is particularly foul happy.
He should definitely had been booked a minute before his yellow card after he bear hugged the Kildare player and wouldn’t let go of him whom he had the preceding fracas with. The referee didn’t even talk to him about it.
I don’t want to be running them down too much, they are a fine team, but they have got significantly more cynical.
I meant there was no particular logic to what I was saying about it looking pathetic, but it was more an optics thing. Brolly pretty much said the same thing at half time for what it’s worth.
It’s sickening from a perspective that they are being held up by the likes of Brolly as the pure bastions of sportsmanship, they have as many blackguards in their team as anyone else and are prepared to cross the lines of sportsmanship just as much as any other team but they just don’t need to do it as much as other teams because they have the quality.

Wexford eliminate Ulster opposition. Louth dump out a Connacht side. Westmeath produce a spellbinding second half display. Dublin cement their credentials as All Ireland favourites. Leinster exerting its muscle to confirm its status as football’s strongest province.

He must ha e some dirt on someone in RTE to say he is still appearing on our screens.
His bitterness towards Kerry is sickening, his bullying of Marty Morrissey is sickening, his anger and temper is sickening.
