Mayo Donegal is explosive. Its he plum tie by a long way
Dublin Cork will be seriously high scoring!
Round one…. fight.
Dublin Mayo final, Dubs to get revenge!
Skangers v Langers at 7 PM next Saturday evening. Or 7.30 if the beer is good in the Big Tree, Hill 16 and Quinns.
Typical Culchie crap, the reason games not involving the Dubs start on time is because not enough of you country boys and girls bother your arse turning up…better late than never…Dubs for the Dubble!
Ah shur not all of us bleedin’ culchies have the convenience of just walking out of our Ballybough tenement to Croke Park. Have they found any of the missing Dubs who never made it back from Thurles in 2001 yet?
Expense, Dear Boy?
One game at a time. Need to beat a strong Cork side first!
No- it’s to give the Dubs time to get up and about!
I’d say they’re still digging for them.
Dublin v cork tasty two great teams they don’t cheat, great sets of supporters q
If Cork lose I’d love to see Dublin win just because of the style they play! Beautiful football! That’s difficult for me to say as a Cork man!
Dublin don’t cheat?? Clearly you weren’t watching the semis last year!
Tell all Jack….
Very well m’lord. The non-cheating dubs seem to have forgotten O’Neill’s great viral ad demonstrating the toughness of their jerseys while a dublin back was bouncing Kev MacLoughlin off the ground 3-4 times because he was playing too well. No fan of Tyrone’s method of killing Meath’s momentum but don’t you dare get on your high horse, ye’re just as bad when things don’t go your way!
It’s not cheating when a free and booking are given against you, which was the outcome of the incident you’re on about no?
Oh no and Dublin have (home advantage ) again how terrible !
Oh my god jack are you actually being serious?
My recollection of that game is that mayo wasted almost the entire second half with very conspicuous injuries and were deliberately fouling every Dublin player that had even a remote chance of scoring a goal.
Anyway, mayo are the least of our worries now. We’ve a long way to go before we play you lot. Hope we do though!
1983, dirty dubs! …….Pure thugs made out to be heros, Nuff said!
One incident makes us a team of cheats jack? Seem to remember Mayos constant fouling to disrupt the flow of the game. Back on my horse now, giddy up ;)
Dublin vs Mayo semi last year, Mayo made 27 tactical fouls. It was analysed afterwards and was one of the main reasons the new rules were initiated. That and all the time wasting.
Dubs for sam we are too strong a panel for any team this year
@ nivagh ,Of course change the rules to suit Dublin yet again.
John and Loverocket (…), you have very blue tinted glasses from that game! 50 minutes in Mayo were 17-7 ahead. You can’t tell me you can’t remember Dublin excessively fouling, killing our tempo when we were simply all over ye! I won’t deny with 5-6 minutes to go we got nervy ourselves but to call yourselves the saints of football as bluemist was leaning towards is laughable! Dublin knew what they had to do to get back; play dirty. Not nice, necessary.
Dublin’s home ground is Parnell park. Croke park is gaa headquarters and that is why the games are on there…
The best team won that day jack. Mayo were the better team for 50 minutes. There were alot of things wrong in the Dublin panel last year which played a part in losing that game but the best team won on the day.
You accuse of blue tinted glasses yet your own analysis of the game is far more biased than mine.
As already stated mayo committed 27 tactical fouls in that game, half the mayo team went down with cramp too, a strange thing to get after the training those players put themselves through to peak for September. Rory o Carroll was a bit over zealous but cant think if too many incidents where dublin players were particularly nasty. mayo had several scores in the first half that shouldn’t have stood. Double hops on 2 occasions led directly to scores.
I was at that game and felt we were very hard done by but mature reflection reminded me that mayo were better for 50 minutes and deserved to win. Playing dirty didnt bring us back into the game though, the fact that we have better players than mayo and finally got the bit between our teeth is what brought us back into that game and we dominated the last 25 minutes and would possibly have stolen it if not for all the mayo fouling and Time wasting. That’s my honest assessment of that game.
the Twelve Disciples, will never be forgotten, won Sam with only 12 players on the pitch, was at the game. Hey did you hear about the time Kieran Duff walked into a bar, place his shoe on the bar and said to the barman, “Put a head on that bud….” (I’ll get me coat)
John, I never said that Mayo were no saints, it’s necessary to win, what I said was neither are Dublin. Dublin could and should have had 2 men sent off that day, so I repeat, Bluemist’s sweeping statement that Dublin don’t cheat is simply laughable, and I pulled him up on it. The press (except the Gospel according to Brolly) called Mayo’s win a victory for football given how the two teams played in that game.
*Never said Mayo were saints.
Cheaters never win!
Only Dublin bite opponents!
Clown, mayo timewasted fouled and faked injury all second half
Sly sly culchie
Go out and foot some turf seamus…
Kicking players in the head while on the ground – if that’s not dirty and cowardly I don’t know what is!!!
You know nothing, you where obviously not at game
By the way in case you think it’s anyone else – it’s DUBLIN
Let’s hope they don’t refuse to play extra time……!!
Only the juicy, tasty ones- not the bitter ones!
Danger Here, the 12 apostles of ’83 are legends in Dublin GAA circles, so sit on that and do the breakdance..
From a football point of view I’m glad we got cork but cork are the best team in that draw we could have got. That will be a tough tough match and the winner gets kerry in the semis most likely.
Definitely the tougher side of the draw.
Sickens me that tyrone got the best draw they could get after the shameful display by them in the last ten minutes tonight.
Hope Monaghan hammer them!
Thuggish behaviour wasn’t it!
A disgrace diarmaid
You have to beat the best to be the best. Delighted we got a harder draw, will be no way anyone can complain when we come out on top!
Hopefully Denis, the one thing that always works for us is to be underdogs and written off so from that aspect it was a great draw. Fingers crossed!
Ye as a meath fan i am seriously disappointed by that because we had a goal scoring chance in the last few minutes and of course fouled then all the tyrone players are across the goal line and Newman had no chance of scoring
Cavanagh actually rugby tackled a fella towards the end! It’s so frustrating watching it! I’d have been like a lunatic if I was in your shoes pal! I personally would love if he could have turned the free into a penalty cause of the antics outside the box! Roll on the black card!!!
No Tyrone fan but to hear this from a Meathman? Bad enough with your cynical football in the 80s/90s they lost total respect in not offering Louth a replay a few years back – no class.
I’m a dub man, & that’s true they wouldn’t even consider a rematch after what they done to that poor team! – Karma
I’m a dub man, & that’s true they wouldn’t even consider a rematch after what they done to that poor team! – Karma
And im sure louth would offer us a replay
God! Will the Louth cribbers ever put away the melodeons and ‘get on with it!’ Signs on, they haven’t been seen since!
Yeah yeah, because no other team would DREAM of cynically fouling in the dying mins of the game.
Zzzzzz….
Why do Dublin have the headline in this news caption?? H’on mayo!!
Because all 31 counties know that mayo are chokers!!!
True that
Anthony Coyle they have the headline just to annoy people like you. The author decided what would annoy Anthony Coyle tonight. I know I’ll put the dubs as the main part in the headline.
It’s basically a money-making scam! For the Dubs that can read…..
Interesting draw, happy mayo got Donegal, we’ll find out from that match if we’re up too it or not even though if we do win I imagine the talk would be how Donegal aren’t the team they were last year
Absolutely mouthwatering tie
I think mayo are the better team this year and fancy them to win, but then I think about the shitty opposition mayo have faced compared to donegal’s
But have Donegal played too many games so close together?
Very hard to call
Come on Donegal!
It’s time to paint all the donkeys in Mayo!!
tasty!
Dublin v Mayo final.
Big cock nipple
I said that from the start
And you’re the Dub streaker for 2013??
Very doubtful that we’ll get past Dublin, meanwhile those shower over the border draw fecking Cavan! Donegal v Dublin final I reckon!
Didn’t want Cork in the draw, dangerous outfit.. anyway I’ll be on the Hill next week cheerin’ the boys in blue.. Up the Dubs !!
The one thing good about drawing the favourites is that Cork are always at their most dangerous when underdogs and written off to a certain extent. Should be a cracker anyway!
Tie of the round, not being smart but I hope a good Cork crowd shows up, the more the merrier
Both attacking football, bug runners, lots of pace etc! Should be a cracker! I hope so too, our footballers dont draw as big a crowd as I wished sometimes, although the Dublin encounter always draws a few extras, we’ll still be massively outnumbered I fear though!
True enough, there’ll be a rake of Dubs in Croker next weekend..wonder who else will be on that day? will be a great splash of colour and craic regardless, all we need is the sun to come back and we’re sorted. Long weekend and all that jazz
So long as Dublin dont win i dont care who else wins.
Suck me cheese incrusted danger beast
Kerr you bitter Donegal luther-brain, Dublin and Kerry play the best football in the country, don’t be such a cream cracker and instead appreciate class when you see it … ; )
I’d love to see Dublin/Cork or Kerry face Donegal in the final and mash them with pure football :-)
Only buzzin’ jonathan mate up the spurs.. YIDS!
Couldn’t agree more Jonathan – as one scribe posted last week – I’d prefer to iron my sack than see the Jackeens win!
hateful little urchin
good your sister is sick of ironing it
Ask your mother about it sunshine !!
Stret ironing….. and don’t forget the tiny appendage!
Because the Dubs are the biggest draw in the GAA we have the best supporters in the land and with the Corks fans which are great fans too it will be a great match
I wonder if Croke park was in Cork or Belfast – how great would be the Dublin support at all games .??.
YouTube Dublin v kerry thurles 2001. That will answer your question. Cork v Dublin 83 will answer it too
I wonder if my aunt had balls would she be my uncle?
Class
That’s twice in the space of a mere30 years that the bloody GAA have forced the Dubs fans travel out to the wild boonies for a major game. Must think the downtrodden Dubs fans are made of money, proof if ever that the GAA hate Dublin.
Dublin fans have proven that they will travel. It’s not their fault the gaa don’t make them travel.
Personally id love more away days and most dub fans I know feel the same way.
Our hurlers have had 3 away games this season by the way
It wouldn’t be wise to have dublin away games because if Dublin loose an get jeered the young teenagers full of drink will start to act up & the next is history! And we all know what happens next…..
Ciarain, as with all large groups of county supporters, there will always be a tiny percentage of troublemakers. I’ve worked in the city at night and seen the carry on of some Kerry and Tyrone supporters. But I know from attending games that its just a few who give the rest a bad name. Contrary to popular culchie beliefs, not only Dublin people drink excessively and cause bother.
She would….. if you were sure of your parentage………. but them……….she could be anybody.
Mayo will hammer Donegal. Dublin Mayo All Ireland
The man called it!
Mayo going to have to do it the hard way! Have a feeling Horan has an ace up his sleeve after September last year though, big improvement needed after the London game!
Why has the heading to be Dublin face cork, why not be one of the other ones esp, Donegal vs mayo!! All bout Dublin, hill wasn’t even open today bc they were not there!
It’s tough at the top Trev! The Hill was open as the 6 counties playing could only muster 30 odd thousand supporters for today’s games at Croker!! There’ll be twice that at Dublin v Cork next week. Maybe that’s why it’s the headline game.
The hill probably wasn’t open because between six counties they could only muster up 32,000 fans. That’s not even enough to fill the lower stands.
Oh and, the capital versus the next largest population in the country. That’s where your headline comes from!
U said it all about the dubs
Probably still cleaning the shite left behind from the last Dublin crowd !
Now that’s just not nice El Rat
Kerry vs Mayo Final.
You’re ‘avin a laugh John!!
@diarmuid, well said, some fat little orange man with nothing else to do on a saturday night but go on to a thread about a sport played by a race he despises….how sad is that?
Cork v Tyrone final,
Get on it…
500/1
if that is the way the draw is – Dublin will have to beat Cork – and then Kerry . Yes Dublin are good – and can do that – but Kerry have a large incentive to beat Dublin .
As for tonight game – same thing again .As well as the cynicism – the throwing of the ball at times would do a scrum half proud -
— and someone said last week – that players kick the ball high now days . . I wonder did he ever even see the football that was used 20-30 years ago – or was he even at the 1955 Final – when Tadgy Lyne kicked some great 50s[ 45s ] – when kicking a 50 [ 45 ] was a feat – not a tap over thing with the balloon that is used today .
at least the pitches have improved if not the football/ throw ball.
The defensive stuff [ as with the actual football ] came from soccer – and the fear of losing ..
Amazing to see six counties (London sort of!) bringing just 30,000 to Croke park tonight, were you all working on the silage? If it wasn’t for Dublin at Croke Park, there would be no Croke park because it would be a waste of resource. Remember that country cousins when you are giving out about the Dubs having home advantage etc.
Dublin for the Dubble!
Yeah I’ve never understood people moaning about the Dubs and Croker. Guaranteed a huge crowd. Personally love playing the Dubs in Croker because the atmosphere is always electric.
We might have “home” advantage but the smell of Benjy that pervades the capital on big match days far outweighs this, on your tractors lads :-)
Culchie Sunday drivers in Dublin are the worst!
Beats the smell of the shit in the Liffey. And out of it.
They have the best cars to steal, though.
Mayo Dublin final
Mayo v Cork in the final, Dublin will do there uasal choke job in the big game like the normally do, Monaghan and Cavan in the other ties
I seem to remember them choking two years ago alright… Spa
I seem to remember them having Choke Park moments in 2009, 2010 and 2012. Always good for a laugh watching the jackeens shite themselves .
Dublin are the best team in it by far and are a much better team since Jim Gavin took over,Cork will be shown that there is only one capital.
There was a different winner in 09/10 and 12 which means everyone else “choked” in atleast 2 of those years aswell.
Guess what though? In 2 of those years Dublin were beaten by the winners and in the other the finalists. That makes us close to being if not being the most consistent team in Ireland in the last 5 years.
Maybe a good team just lost to a better one?!?
I notice you haven’t mentioned 2011. What happened then. Did someone else choke then? Was it your team?
So your county has won the All-Ireland how many times in the last 5 years ? 5 you say! Fantastic! But the history books say different!
That’s not nice!
Good draw for Dublin. At least we’ll be well rested for Kerry in the semis.
Mayo’s to lose this year, not a bother for them.
Think we got one of the easiest draws in cork, they’ve had quite a poor league and dont know their best team, they’ll play right into our hands if they stay with their man on man system, they scraped by galway tonite, who are no world beaters themselves. Donegal or tyrone would be a diffrent ball game!
We got away lightly with that draw, we’ll be well set up for the final now against either donegal or mayo!
Have you forgotten Kerry?
People are forgetting Kerry they can show up and put on a masterclass on anyday! Like watching Real Madrid Vs Bohemians ….

Who
Kerry are finished. Worst Kerry team I’ve ever seen.
All in all,
Dublin to beat cork – (hopefully)
Mayo to beat Donegal -(tight game)
Tyrone to beat Monaghan -(bully game)
Kerry to show up and scare everyone
- my 2 cents
Any tournament that allows a team to play 95% of their matches at home lacks a huge amount of integrity.
It’s a ‘social’ clause for the Dubs- I mean, they don’t know the way to anywhere else!
5 counties played today, plus London, and a crowd of 33,740 turned up !! Dublin get that for a league game in February!! And before people get into travel arrangements! Dublin fans come from as far as Rush, Skerries and Drumcondra( thrown in to confuse the boggers!), so it cost everyone money whether the stadium is in your county or not! The GAA need the Dubs to find your local club gimps!
Written in British English – the lingua franca of the Dub
As I said “Gimps”!
Oh please; imagine having to travel the whole way up from Rush or Skerries or perish the though even Balbriggan. I mean you’d have to potentially get on the DART to do it. The horror of it all.
If Dublin fans had to travel year in, year out around between three and four hours to get to a match I reckon they’d have around 20% of what they get to Croke Park.
What about the thousands & thousands of people from the other 31 counties living in Dublin that don’t have far to travel on match day or vice versa all the Dubs living outside of Dublin that have to travel to Croker? This constant bitching about the Dubs in Croker is getting really old. I’d love nothing more than to see the footballers play in smaller venues, I experience it with the hurlers all the time and love the atmosphere of a packed smaller stadium as opposed to a half empty Croker but we don’t pick the venue. Take it up with HQ.
Well what crowds were in kerry and Donegal this year for the league, check those figures out, account for championship vs the league uplift and you’ll have a base figure, or go back to when the GAA let Dublin Play outside CP in the championship and look at those figures, they’d both be better methods for working out what crowds would travel compared to a figure you plucked out of the air.
Hopefully the GAA will make everyone happy and allow the games outside of CP again.
Ciaran, you’re an embarrassment, not only to gaa fans but to proper dubs too. They have to travel from skerries and portmarnock? How awful! The gaa should have invented a teleporter for ye, getting the DART in or making a 20 min commute, that is some dedication in fairness! People in west cork will spend 5 hours getting to Croker yesterday and many of them will be in thurles today too so give over your rubbish. Us dual counties that have supported both codes throughout history and not since an outside hurling manager was introduced to show ye how to play hurling, know dedication, not some jumped up gom who thinks travelling half the length of the city is a lot to ask. Do yourself and dubs a favour and keep your mouth shut!
Diarmaid- of course I will Diarmaid, Three bags full Diarmaid!! Theres always one clown that takes the bait! And it’s always a Culchie clown at that! Hook line and sinker! You played a blinder!
I’m from cork CITY, far from “a culchie”, not like Dublin is a sprawling metropolis anyway, it’s a bloody village on a global scale! Took bait? You were being serious and now realised how much of a gimp you look, don’t lie, you’ll only further embarrass yourself and the decent real dub fans!
Pretty sure a lot of us dubs now live down the country and travel from Meath Cavan Louth Laois to name but a few areas and do go to every match so stop whining the rest a ya
illiterate?
Time to get off that high horse of yours Diarmaid (The one you probably use to get to matches on)! It seems that you think you know me! Funny that, I’ve never met you! And you are a Culchie ! Next Saturday during that 5 hour treck up to see your county being ousted from the championship, think of me, as I’ll be leaving the house about 6:40. and arriving home victorious for the 9 o’clock news. AHHH, the joys of being a Dub! Enjoy getting knocked out twice in a week. And enjoy all that travelling! You the man after all!
Normal for gets of a garrison town.
At least you have somewhere decent to live now.
Oh the arrogance of the Jackeens is back. We’ll all laugh when they choke as they’ve done most years & do what they do best in croke park in September. Sell hotdogs
Didn’t think the dubs had the work ethic for the selling of hotdogs
And coke!
All the culchies talking manure as always. Up the.Dubs :)
Your own ‘culchie’ name suggests you hailed from a rock, or under it??
you’ve been drinking again billy bhoy…
All that said, Dublin have beaten Kerry and Donegal in the championship recently, but even Gilroys best team and system struggled against Cork, obviously mayo won against us last year too, but that some would argue about the second season hunger and have that as an excuse , imho Dublin at their best have fallen to Cork. I think cork have dropped off a bit since and Dublin have a new style, but I’m looking forward to it.
WRT fouling all the top guys are at it, the thing is to not be in the situation Dublin got themselves in, or mayo put us in last year. Oddly the next team the guys play get an advantage, mayo were hammered with yellow cards in the final last year because people were giving out about how they fouled Dublin. It made no difference to Dublin but Mr brolly did some stats everyone read them and his Donegal brothers got a lift from it imho.
Croke park, Saturday 5pm Monaghan v Tyrone, 7pm Dublin v Cork
Croke Park, Sunday 2pm Kerry v Cavan 4pm Mayo v Donegal
quarter finals all live on tv. RTE have 1st and 4th picks. TV3 have 2nd and 3rd picks
semi final draw Kerry/Cavan v Cork/Dublin, Monaghan/Tyrone v Mayo/Donegal
Just scrolled through the Sky guide and TV3 have Saturday’s games listed which can only mean (i hope!) RTE have Sunday’s. Thank God! At least those of us at the Dublin/Cork/Tyrone/Monaghan games escape TV3 commentary on Sunday!
forget the sky guide as I said rte have 1st and 4th pick TV3 have 2nd and 3rd pick
I never said it was a fact (notice the ‘i hope’ thrown in to my comment) No need to be so condescending.
All in all,
Dublin to beat cork – (hopefully)
Mayo to beat Donegal -(tight game)
Tyrone to beat Monaghan -(bully game)
Kerry to show up and scare everyone
- my 2 cents
What about Cavan and Kerry should be a ?

Probley the easiest all ireland dublin will ever win, in the bag!
Come on dublin , lets smash the potato pickers ;)
This thread went to the dogs. Looking forward to Dublin winning next week, but understand that we might not. Cork have some class players and could run through the Dublin half back line.
Hopefully it will be a decent game with high scores. Should be good fun at the game too. Hopefully the keyboard warriors from either county have a good day to and leave all this stupid trash talk at home for the day, it’s a good job there is so little of it at our games.
Follow follow
Time to call out the hunbusters. Linfield the team who got knocked out by some Greek part timers the other night? Sevco the supposed team in the Scottish 2nd division? Attention seeking gimp with too much time on his hands. Also good to see you have to come to the capital Baile Átha Cliath to work to get paid in lovely euros with lovely harps on the back of them. TÁL!
