What can I read about the game on Independent.ie?

“As much as people think we used to win every game we played, there were games we lost and drew in the league, so it’s something that we are used to. And that’s something that older guys are communicating to younger guys on the panel, that it’s okay to lose a game. We’ve lost games before.”

It’s a first meeting between the two since Mayo ended Dublin’s dreams of seven-in-a-row after last year’s stunning comeback in the All-Ireland semi-final and back-to-back league losses for the first time in a decade haven’t helped the mood amongst Dublin fans.

But as Dean Rock has been telling Conor McKeon, there’s so sense of panic in the camp.

"I will begin with a prediction: ­Dublin will not be crowned All-Ireland ­football champions in 2022. This forecast is not based on what I witnessed in Tralee last weekend. But what I did see there merely confirmed my view that the Dubs are incapable of halting a slide which I first detected five years ago."

However, Pat Spillane believes there's no chance of the Dubs getting back to the top this season and explains why here.
