Munster Footballers Revolt In 2013

As I mentioned in another thread: "In October 2013, the players of Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford threatened to boycott the 2015 Munster Football Championship. They were rightly annoyed with wrong decision to seed Kerry and Cork in opposite semi-finals. It was about time these counties grew a pair to sort the mess. After extensive meetings, it was rightly agreed that Munster finalists would be seeded to the semi-finals in the following year but could be drawn against each other. Tipperary benefitted from this seeding a few years back. The seeding is now earned on the field of play." Is this an example of what players in other provinces might have to do if they are unhappy about injustices or imbalances? legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7865 - 02/07/2019 17:30:33 2204423 Link

Who won Munster in 2013?..... wait I'll just check. Ah, ok, Kerry won it Surely this new found courage delivered in 2014. No looks like Kerry again 2015 hard luck, Kerry again 2016 surely this time. No, Kerry 2017 it has to be or what was the point. Kerry again 2018 for the love of God come on other counties. Oops it's Kerry again 2019 no way. It can't be. It is ye know. Kerry yet again. Fair play to those counties. They should ask God for the time wasted on it back. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 02/07/2019 19:20:15 2204481 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "They are for next year because of the fact that both reached the final this year." Yeah I mean who would have predicted that? Cork and Kerry reaching the Munster Final. Are Kerry going for title number 82 next year? I mean come on. They should be in a Railway Cup competition with that ridiculous number of titles, 82 Munsters next year and 37 AI titles having been in 59 AI Finals. I mean no discussion required get them out of that hurling region and put them in Ulster. Boycott Munster now. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 02/07/2019 20:13:24 2204514 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "They are for next year because of the fact that both reached the final this year." So there are kept apart in the semis next year what if they both reach the final again will they continue to be kept apart from each other again? brisbane (Galway) - Posts: 674 - 02/07/2019 20:40:42 2204533 Link

If Dublin are given a bye to the semi-finals and had to travel away Kildare or Meath, it won't change the result but at least it is fairness. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7865 - 02/07/2019 20:49:51 2204544 Link
And it's for that reason(Kerry's number of Munster titles and relative ease at which they win them) that legend refuses to propose completely overhauling the provincial championships and their link to the all Ireland series. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3510 - 02/07/2019 22:19:02 2204640 Link

Us Dubs are all for fairness. If HQ tell us to play in Newbridge we'll pack up our trunks and over to Newbridge we'll go. Few pints, a few tips for the gee-gees and buy some nice silver earrings for the trouble and strife (the get out of jail card). The perfect day out :) Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 02/07/2019 22:31:42 2204650 Link

Fairness ! what a load of nonsense , Leinster is a mess , Munster is a mess , the whole system needs to be overhauled , but this obviously doesn't suit you, it would mean no more handy All Irelands for your lot . superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 02/07/2019 22:35:28 2204653 Link
Join Munster with Connaught and Ulster with Leinster they you have at least 4 good teams in each championship. With Connaught teams playing at a Munster venue this weekend logistically it's a good idea!! Kerry will dominate Munster for at least another 10 years winning everything underage as well. Clare always end up on the Kerry side of the draw for some reason. Hard lucky story of the Munster championship. Tipp have gone backwards. And will go further backwards since the highs of 2016 football standards even at club level have dropped in all age codes up to adult. Limerick produce a brilliant performance every 5 years. They hammer Tipp and get hammered by Cork. Waterford always come up short. Cork oh they just always lose to Kerry now so yeah Munster championship is wrecked for a while.

Just as the Munster footballers revolted, Leinster footballers will have to stand up against the Leinster council and their own county boards. Players nationally can revolt as well if they want to try and force the GAA to stop giving Dublin 2 home games in the Super 8. The Munster Council were trying to ensure a Kerry v Cork final for financial reasons. It's not right but they were following the money. Rural counties voting to keep Dublin in Croke Park were following the money of crumbs from the urban table. Did rural county boards let their players and people down in pursuit of financial crumbs? Has a divide and conquer approach worked? legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7865 - 03/07/2019 07:28:25 2204728 Link
Replying To superbluedub: "Fairness ! what a load of nonsense , Leinster is a mess , Munster is a mess , the whole system needs to be overhauled , but this obviously doesn't suit you, it would mean no more handy All Irelands for your lot ." What's a mess? Munster finalists earn a bye to the semi-finals on the field of play. It's like a wrap around format. Performance in one year is rewarded in the next. Kerry did not have any home comforts in this year's Munster Championship. We travelled away to Ennis and away to Cork. When Dublin play in a Leinster final in Croke Park, their next Leinster game should be an away game. It's up to 10 Leinster counties and their players to try to bring some fairness like that about. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7865 - 03/07/2019 07:33:52 2204729 Link
