Looks like dallisgrass. MSMA or Roundup multiple apps

I've been doing some reading on MSMA. Some people absolutely love it, but several others have reported that it kills everything it touches like Roundup. Are there any alternatives?

I used Celsius last year to get rid of my dallisgrass outbreak.

Thanks. I'll check into it.

If it is a small area you can try hand pulling first.

It is Dallisgrass. First line of defense is to pull it up at first site roots and all with extreme prejudice. MSMA is also decent if the area is beyond hand pulling. DO NOT LET IT GO TO SEED. Otherwise it is like cockroaches or chi-coms and will be impossible to eradicate once they plant seeds.

Pulling by hand just isn't possible - there's far too much of it. Although it covers a substantial area, it's generally localized. So if all else fails.............

Did my homework on Celcius WG. It won't work in my yard because it will kill the grass that I'm trying to keep as well. My yard is mostly Kentucky Bluegrass and perennial ryegrass.

Does anybody have any other suggestions or am I stuck with trying MSMA?
