2021 All Ireland Football-Covid is a cod tyrone style

What’s the talent like in the 19-24 age group? 2017 U21 would have been likes of Con, Howard, Marchan and Paddy Small. Thought the U20’s were steeped to overcome Wicklow in Leinster before that lively Offaly team accounted for them.

There would be a few decent lads from the last few 20 teams but nothing like some of Dessie or Jim Gavin’ s u21 teams. Lee Gannon, Ciaran Archer, Lorcan o Dell. I’d say we will be there or thereabouts for the next few years but won’t be dominating. 12 in a row as predicted by some some window lickers around here seems unlikely

A very good but non dominant Dublin would actually be ‘great for the association’. Having them as the team everyone loves to hate and beat but crucially people feel they have a chance to beat would be the ideal situation and is I presume what the funding pumpers wanted. You want them to win every couple of years to keep their fans cocky and interested but also losing 50pc or more years to keep the whole thing motoring along and the crowds up. They got too dominant too quickly after being such losers for so long and the new fans especially kids were getting bored of it all and windy counties like Kildare and Meath just gave up altogether. Surely they’ll feel they’re back in the game now.

Peader O’ Cofaigh Byrne might develop into an MDMA type player out around the middle too maybe?

@maroonandwhite

So you can’t read…do you need special help from the government too?

Should you not be watching the u20 AIF on tg4? Cork are kicking the shit out of ye in case you are wondering.

[flutehook]

Not a hope, disappointing so far and he can kick the ball.

I’m watching it yes. Believe it or not some people watch games and comment on tfk too. You are struggling badly to make any argument here.

Fair play to cork, they out the work in and developed, didn’t buy success.

You made a show of yourself here for years pissing and moaning about financial doping and now you’re trying to pass it off with glib bullshit. All the dire predictions about 20 in a row and the death of gaelic football look pretty stupid now. But you are an especially stupid cunt so that’s hardly surprising.

[maroonandwhite]

I was right for years, sure 6 bought all Irelands and how many Leinster’s prove it! Thankfully an honest rural team showed heart beats the bank eventually

You were never right in your life

Counter argument? You predicted 20 on a row and the death of football. Counter argument me hole

Where was this?

On the match and the blue book coming unbound.

It’s clear in hindsight that dublins success came down to two factors. Professional funding, plus Jim Gavin. Both were needed, Jim Gavin isn’t winning all Ireland’s with Roscommon, but his guidance and gameplan was the key, as he had the raw materials to implement it. From what I know of him Gavin seems to be a genius, as I wrote elsewhere more akin to Belichick or John Wooden than a standard gaa manager. I asked someone in the Dublin camp at the start of last year what the fall off would be from Gavin to Dessie and the reply was ‘massive and irreversible’ I thought that was wrong, the systems and standards he had in place would endure but it was entirely correct. Gavin had essentially cracked football, with scripted plays and selflessness drummed into them. He needed great athletes with pro level preparation to do it and got that.

It wasn’t the conditioning that let them down last weekend, it was hunger, Mayo are fairly limited but Dublin, for the first time in years, just didn’t want to be there. Hard to see dessie turn that around, he’s in the unenviable position of first manager after a legend and I dont think he has what it takes.

I thought the funding, the residue of gavin plus the paucity of opposition would keep Dublin up there for years (and it will in Leinster) but I forgot how wasteful they have always been. They have always had a wealth of advantages compared to all other counties, but needed to be treated as a special project by the gaa and the government to win titles. Which is hard to believe. Contrast to Limerick, who have none of dublins advantages but used proper funding to put structures in place and with some rural ingenuity become successful at a far more difficult game.

A final shout out to my old buddy Ewan, we’ve been telling the truth for years, me on here, you stealing a lot of my arguments and using them on Twitter with your own, but the worm has turned, public opinion has sided against injustice, enjoy it.

Jesus Christ … that is some bollox … even for you… did you prepare it last year and then saved it when Dubs won under Farrell?

so is it 2 or 3 factors mister reading comprehension…you’re some plum …

[maroonandwhite]

The top two was the reason for Dublin’s success over the past few years, mainly funding.

The third was what let them down last weekend.

Jesus. Put down the heroin will you.

So if they had the third would they have been successful ?

[maroonandwhite]

If they had Gavin there then yes. The smiley faces aren’t the compelling arguments you think. Listen the soccer’s back don’t worry about understanding the ‘gah’ for a while
