Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I could not find a designated GAA thread here but just a heads up that the All Ireland football final tomorrow between Dublin and Kerry will be on BBC2 across the UK at 15:30. I see Dion Dublin is doing promo stuff for it strangely enough. Should be an interesting enough final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Problem is, those two counties have a monopoly on winning "Sam" most years....be nice if a county from the north like Derry or Tyrone won it....it just gets boring otherwise. I follow the hurling more as a son of Cork immigrants and they used to be prolific back in the day but kilkenny and now Limerick seem to rule the roost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone last won it in 2021. It does add something when counties make their breakthroughs though, the 90s and early 00's were brilliant with multiple all Ireland winners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hoped monaghan would do the Dubs in the semi final but they ran out of steam. 95 years ? Ah well at least your race horses are the best in the business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was implying that it would be better if the likes of the smaller counties won it more often than they actually do and not let the dubs or the kingdom dominate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Will be a good game tomorrow hopefully. After our era of dominance last decade we kinda need to get the wheels back on and we have a pretty ridiculous record in finals. Plus our recent record over Kerry is great (last year excepted). It's an evenly matched final I feel. Should be good. I hate this being on in July though. Moving it from September is still not working for me. Middle of summer for end of the Championship makes no sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Clifford wasn't at it all in the second half. Couple of decisions near the end visibly gave Dublin a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
