Farrell presided over his first official press conference as Jim Gavin's successor at the offices of Dublin GAA sponsors AIG and had good news for supporters.

The former Dublin forward managed his county 48 times in the Championship and a further 59 times in the National League, bringing his grand total to 107.

It used to be like this. A call for coffee with the manager, or a discreet invitation from one of the selectors. In the worst-case scenario a league panel without your name on it might appear in the paper.

It almost isn’t fair.

Six-time All-Ireland winner Paul Flynn has admitted that quitting Dublin and stepping away from inter-county football isn’t an easy thing to do.

Dublin’s six-time All-Ireland SFC winning manager Jim Gavin is planning to be in charge for an eighth season in 2020.

Their duels were keenly contested, both winning All-Stars in 2011 when they first clashed in Championship.

John Fogarty asks what previous All-Ireland final replays can tell us about Saturday’s game?

When trying to predict which player or players could have a really serious impact on the All-Ireland SFC final replay, one man keeps on springing to mind having watched the drawn encounter back in full, writes Peter McNamara.

To curve or to swerve — that is the question.

Bernard Brogan is one of the founders of Peptalk, a corporate well-being company that counts big businesses like Coca-Cola, Zurich and Northern Trust as clients.

Kerry great Aidan O’Mahony has admitted he’d start towering Tommy Walsh in the All-Ireland final replay but reckons boss Peter Keane will hold him in reserve once again.

It was natural that of all the previous All-Ireland finals that last Sunday’s conjured comparisons with, 1982 was the easiest from the archive to reach for, but for long periods, it felt an awful lot like 2011 to us.

When Diarmuid Connolly sat back into the pocket, setting himself up for power fade with the outside of his right boot, in a similar way to Ronan O’Gara and the Grand Slam drop goal over a decade ago, I thought perhaps the story was written in the stars for the prodigal son to return home with the fattened calf.

We don’t exactly know what’s going to happen on September 14 but we figure there is a better chance of predicting what won’t

When Gaelic football is played right, this game has it all. We haven’t been blessed with a lot of outstanding matches these last five or six years because of the way some teams play, but we were all lucky to see an All-Ireland final like that.

The GAA are in line to make close to €4m from the All-Ireland final replay between Dublin and Kerry on September 14.

Dublin great Charlie Redmond has insisted there’ll be no ‘resentment’ if Diarmuid Connolly beats a lionheart performer like Bernard Brogan to an All-Ireland final bench spot.

These are no ordinary times in Gaelic football and this is no run-of-the-mill five-in-a-row bid.

Paddy Andrews cringes. He winces a couple of times during a searingly honest interview. On Sunday, he may claim a sixth All-Ireland SFC medal, but the 31-year-old knows it could have been a seventh.

In the 2017 Division 1 final, Kerry brought Dublin’s 36-game unbeaten record across League and Championship to an end. Next Sunday, they aim to prevent Jim Gavin’s men from extending their defeat-less Championship run to 36. Thirty-three Championship wins and two draws have brought Dublin to the brink of creating GAA history. Here are 15 facts and figures behind their remarkable five-in-a-row tilt:

To sweep or not to sweep. It’s a question Peter Keane may be mulling over as the Kerry manager formulates a strategy for taking down Dublin in the All-Ireland final.

It takes a special team to make a team like Mayo look so old, spent, lost.

Jim Gavin has maintained that the likes of Bernard Brogan, Rory O’Carroll, and Eoghan O’Gara all have fighting chances of making Dublin’s All-Ireland final match panel.

Just once have Dublin failed to score a goal against Mayo and their nine points were still enough to win in a dour

The tepid showing of Jim Gavin’s second string in Sunday’s Super 8 win over Tyrone has ‘demystified Dublin’, says former Armagh star Tony McEntee.

There was a smile and a handshake for Diarmuid Connolly upon his departure from the field for a black card but Jim Gavin had returned to battle mode by the time he met the press.

It is difficult to keep up with everything happening in the championship with so many big games coming so close together.

“We’ve got James McCarthy back on the pitch, Eoin Murchan, Jonny Cooper, Diarmuid Connolly’s back training with us, Rob McDaid is back, Peadar Byrne Ó Cofaigh is with the U20s, Darren Gavin’s coming back this week as well so there’s a whole host of players who are returning to play and then there is the squad themselves.”

At 35, with a wife and two babies at home and a portfolio of business interests, Bernard Brogan would have been forgiven for following Paul Flynn’s recent lead and quitting Dublin.

Veteran Dublin forward Bernard Brogan has described his bid to be part of Dublin's Championship campaign this summer as 'a very personal journey'.
