2017 All Ireland Senior Football Championship, Dublin's continued exploitation of its natural advantages

9 Mayo and 4 Dublin :sweat_smile: Come out of the fog ffs. How many would you have given them if they’d actually won it?

Some interesting points here

How did Hughie in the Boar’s Head get such a hold over the GAA crowd in Dublin? He’s been pulling them in for over 10 years now.

I used to attend meetings in the Capel Building one time and on occasion you’d see an inter county manager pissed in there at lunch time.

The same I imagine with Cillian O’Connor replacing Dean Rock on the first replacements list being the only change.

Perhaps you don’t understand the concept of the All-Stars. They are individual awards given for individual performances over the course of the season.

Mayo played 10 championship games to Dublin’s six and most of their games were epic clashes, therefore Mayo players had a much greater chance to stake a claim for inclusion than Dublin who coasted through Leinster with facile wins against poor opposition.

Also most of the best individual performances in the final came from Mayo players.

Jim Gavin’s comment about knowing what it’s like to lose a national title was cuntish I thought. He likened losing the league final to Mayo’s 66 year wait.

Very pointed and look at me I’m a pro bullshit.

He could’ve referenced 92 or 94 or the humiliations of the noughties but not our Jim.

You’re going out of your way to be offended now, mate.

Jim is the ultimate leader of men. A top class act.

I always get the impression that everything Jim says and does is with one eye on his future corporate speaking career. Every utterance is the kind of corporate speak nonsense they lap up at these things

Ah I’m not really. I just thought it was a sly dig at Mayo.

He’s so fucking boring.

Hughie is heavily involved with St Brigids. Not sure how it became such a Dublin GAA spot but good luck to him. He is thoroughly alright sort

Build a bridge fathead

He is to be sure.

Ooooft.

Nailed it. Sent work emails yesterday morning and all.

And made sure it’s known in the media.

I was talking to a guy recently that once played an exhibition hurling match for the Queen of Sheeba, so he knows his shit as the man says. He said it was one of the greatest, fully legitimate handpasses he had ever seen.

Despite Hughie being a Cavan man, it’s well known county lads don’t put their hands in the pocket in the Boars. Refused to serve us the morning after a championship victory but helpfully vouched for us to Slatterys up the road.

Good few were in the new Pipers Corner which is closer to the Gibson. Hughie"s mantle could be under threat.

The boggers and muldoons will still go there.
