Failure a possibility for only one side at Croker

RATHER than patronise them afterwards in the event they ship a heavy defeat tomorrow, let’s seize the moment and acknowledge the breadth of Dublin’s achievements this summer right here.

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.

Even if they lose to Tipperary, whatever the margin, they will still have had a wonderful season. They will still have been a breath of fresh air. They will still have won the National League for the first time since 1939. They will still have reached the business end of the championship for the first time since 1961.
