Trevor Giles says Dublin's monopoly of silverware will lead to a lack of interest in gaelic football.

Jim Gavin's charges are currently head and shoulders above every other team in the country and look untouchable in Leinster. They are also red-hot favourites to add a fourth All-Ireland title inside six seasons to their haul of four successive league crowns.

"I think Dublin have just become dominant and I think they're going to stay that way for a few years to come which, for a neutral, isn't ideal. If Dublin are playing somebody, are you going to watch it? Because it's going to be one-sided," the Meath legend is quoted in The Irish Examiner.

"I think a lot of the games Dublin will be involved in, you could say, 'they're going to win this game, it's not going to be a contest'. So it's great for Dublin but it's probably a bit of a problem for the game and for people trying to promote it. How are you going to make it exciting or interesting?

"Donegal did beat them a couple of years ago but Jimmy McGuinness was in charge and had a bit of mystique about him and his system and all that. Once Dublin didn't get early goals, Donegal got on top of them and it kind of unnerved Dublin but some of that was down to McGuinness' mystique. Mickey Harte had that in the previous decade, a lot of mystique about him.

"But Donegal have lost that now because Dublin have beaten them a few times since and they've also beaten Kerry a few times so who is going to beat them?"
