THEN THERE WERE two.
Dublin booked their place in next month’s All-Ireland senior football final yesterday with a hard-fought semi-final victory over Donegal yesterday.
Pat Gilroy’s side ran out 0-8 to 0-6 winners in front of a full Croke Park to progress to their first decider since 1995.
Already there of course are the Blues’ old rivals Kerry. The final will be one for the football traditionalists with the match-up evoking the rivalry which marked the game in the 70s and 80s.
But who will win out on the third Sunday in September?
Poll Results:
Kerry (550)
Dublin (356)
As the first to vote. I think it’s clear from that performance yesterday that a total of 8 points from Dublin will be scored by Kerry in the first 15 mins on the big day. Croke Park is more of a home ground to Kerry than it is to Dublin also.
a couple of replays might prove too tempting to the GAA
As much as I don’t want Kerry to win. I reckon that they’ll have a comfortable win. I’m going to see what the odds are of them winning by at least 6 points. Bernard Brogan is the only player in Dublin that knows where the goals are. Kerry has 5-6 players that are equal to him. Maybe Dublin will win, Kerry haven’t been on fire this year, but they are always on form in Croker and they are very used to playing in an All Ireland.
It hasn’t been that great a championship this year.
Heart says Dublin, head says Kerry.
Hopefully Dublin,Pat Spillane makes me puke,Donegal fan yesterday,Dublin fan today,Go Dublin
Dublin
From the point of view of someone who has no interest in the sport and is essentially unbiased, Kerry should do it.
Kerry! Dublin ain’t as good simple as!
Would like Dublin to do it, but no team can get near Kerry. Especially as they have The Gooch who is the Messi of GAA. And also a sexy beast of a man!
There’ll be one winner the GAA bigwigs In croke park ……..
Hard to gauge based on yesterdays joke of a game, but I think that Dublin will play better against Kerry as they will be allowed to play.
Hoping for a good game but I can’t see past Kerry for 5 points.
I think kerry will win it, and kerry can play ugly football if needs be, but should be a crackin game
A boring predictably crap final so who cares
You cared enough to comment. Why don’t you leave it alone for those who care about the final?
Just my opinion no need to cry !!!
As much as I’d like the Dublin to win SAM I think Kerry will do the usual to dublin and win in the final few minutes
Crap sport and the only winner is the GAA money grabbing bigwigs ….
Crap sport? You’re obviously living on the wrong island then…
Love to see Baile Ã
KERRY WILL EAT DUBLIN….. NO MATCH FOR KERRY AT ALL….
Based on past form you’ve got to expect Kerry to win on the day.
Dublin by 2 points, you heard it here first
If Dublin can play Kerry like they played Tyrone and keep the head like they did yesterday against Donegal, then its in the bag for them!
I have no doubt in my mind that Kerry would have beaten Donegal yesterday by 10 points at least.
It’s been the worst football championship in decades. Can’t remember any classic matches (many close matches, like yesterday), but no standout games with the possible exception of Cork v Mayo. I don’t see how Dublin can win final and the hype will work against them as well. Kerry have won 9 all Irelands in the last 27 yrs compared to Dublin’s 1 and their experience will be decisive.
Dublin have only one way of playing Isolate brogans and your depending on frees
this is easy like man united 8-2 whooping this will be Kerry 2-18 Dublin 0-7 champions again 34.
