Replying To omahant:  "Could there be a compromise here - Dubs stay as One, but the NSEW region teams are added as well. Gives Dubs B, C etc players a chance to play as well."
No , Dublin is not for splitting .

Replying To legendzxix:  "A games promotion officer working for Dublin GAA from 2008-2011;

Dublin have experienced the perfect storm of huge competitive advantage: an exploding urban population, drastically higher income and sponsorship money, and inexcusably exorbitant games development funding, compared to the rest of the counties.

And did we mention an exceptionally gifted generation of players, all coming together under potentially the greatest manager the game has seen? It leaves the rest of us playing catch-up. The greater problem is not the current crop of gifted players, but what comes after them.

As a games promotion officer working for Dublin GAA from 2008-2011, I could see the runaway train hurtling down the tracks. I call it the industrialisation of GAA football talent development, a phrase that described how France, Germany, Spain, and England have streamlined their structures and mobilised their considerable financial resources to develop young talent in football. It is no surprise that the last three FIFA World Cup winners are contained in that list.

My own philosophy for sports performance is in the benefit of small, incremental steps of improvement, all leading towards long-term, sustainable development. You need stability, a philosophy, an environment, a culture, a plan. And, most of all, you need good people all rowing together in the same direction. Dublin have cracked that.

Sensible or crackpot comments?"

Seriously, what is wum about comments from a games development officer who worked in Dublin? As I mentioned at the start of this thread, respectfully discuss the topic. If you do not want to discuss, please move on to other topics that are of interest to you.

Is mise le meas,
