Alternatively it could be the Leinster B (for boycott, obviously) games.

How does funding explain so many players on the current and previous panels being so good before the funding started. They weren't school boys at the time, they had no access to the programs setup with GDF Do you want me to list them? You have zero evidence to suggest funding to school children played any part in their progress or the progress of the current side. Your argument is on par with the same logic behind " Dublin had 1.3 million people to pick from" You're repeating ignorance. That is all. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 02/07/2019 11:35:16 2204219 Link 7 |
Don't be getting too intellectual now, like the prominent ex players, lest you confuse people.

You can thank your manager and his Galway team mate!

Mayo hammered us four years in a row. It happens. We got better. They got a little worse. Now they haven't beaten us in any grade since the famine. Swings in roundabouts. This seems like a very nuclear option. So ya I would be all for Dublin joining Connacht.

There is a difference though that i would acknowledge. Leinster is a football province primarily always has been bar The Cats, Offaly and the Dubs. Though some great progress being made by other counties. Munster is a hurling province, the Munster Football championship is second priority for most county's in Munster who throw it all into their chances in Hurling. No one is really bothered with football down there attendances are shockingly bad and there is no appetite for a more competitive Munster football championship as it changes a status quo. Munster is self serving and everyone's happy with it, those who prioritize football can focus on getting a straight forward route to the S8's, those who priortise hurling can get the football out of the way and priortise hurling. Everyone's a winner, with little appetite to change. I can understand the discontent in Leinster in all honesty, its very different to Munster.

To say that a boycott of the Leinster Championship has nothing to do with Dublin GAA or Dublin fans is ridiculous. Even if your nonsense was correct, people are fully entitled to comment and form opinions on issues that do not directly affect their own counties.

If other counties fans stopped attending croke park for a game against Dublin then change might happen. Thelonesomegoose (Leitrim) - Posts: 204 - 02/07/2019 12:08:10 2204243 Link 1 |

Munster finalists earn a bye to the semi-finals in the following year. They can still be drawn against each other in the semi-finals despite that. Kerry won this year's Munster Championship without any game in Kerry. When did Dublin last win a Leinster title without a game in Dublin? When did Dublin last win an All-Ireland before state aid intervention? legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7873 - 02/07/2019 12:30:48 2204252 Link 3 |
What makes me laugh is within the hierarchy of the GAA, Dublin are treated as the 5th Province, There are 5 Provincial Coaching and Games managers employed by the GAA, 1 for Leinster, Munster, Ulster, Connaught and Dublin. People involved in the GAA are now educated in equality and fairness and see the huge imbalance that is Dublin GAA, every concession that each province get Dublin get and yes they have their house in order but when you think of the small number of co. teams they must look after compared to the provinces its a joke. They wont field a junior team,why not? They should be giving players from their inter and junior grades a chance of wearing the county jersey but they wont, just in case an overweight player might blight the chance for another corporate sponsor. All moves coldly calculated for elitism. Chubby (Louth) - Posts: 102 - 02/07/2019 12:32:15 2204253 Link 4 |
Remove all funding from Dublin GAA for 20 years, distribute it fairly to those most in need, implement positive discrimination, promote the amateur nature of the GAA not the corporate. Dublin will still be tops in football but the gap won't be as noticeable.

I know I have thrown this idea out before on other forum posts but would it help to move Dublin out of Leinster, say to Munster? I know Kerry and Cork probably wouldn't be too happy. It would be good for the other Leinster teams to have something to play for, also there is nothing in for Dublin winning Leinster titles is there?

We certainly did. Thanks for the gift. More advantages I suppose.

Leinster Lite. "High on whinge, low on skill" perhaps.

Would you not just move Dublin into the Railway Cup. The Irish word for province means a fifth. Dublin is essentially a province in modern Ireland. Vienna is 1 of 9 provinces in Austria. The recent European election had a Dublin constituency, North & West constituency and a South constituency. It's a reflection of current day Ireland.
