I agree brend. Whataboutery at its finest. He is right, plain and simple. Celtic might well be just as bad, that doesn't excuse it for Dublin though. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 19/08/2014 11:03:32 1638752 Link 0 |
Doesnt look like having a swipe to me. McGuinness just answered the question he was asked. And to be honest, papers and even hoganstand did try to make out it was a swipe with the headline. But he just praises the dubs in my view on how well they look after their players and facilities. He even said it was like when Kerry were way out in front of teams 10 years ago or so due to them properly taking care of young players coming through hence having better resources to choose from. fielder (Donegal) - Posts: 137 - 19/08/2014 11:07:08 1638754 Link 0 |
Some of you lads would jump at the chance to be offended. He actually says that in his time he has done his best to make the Donegal setup more professional and that Dublin have taken it to a higher level. Is any of what he says untrue? benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1422 - 19/08/2014 11:11:53 1638756 Link 0 |
Jesus lads, some of the paranoia here is incredible. Which part of what McGuinness said is false? Dublin are miles ahead of anyone in terms of their resources. Is anyone seriously trying to dispute that? If not, then why the big fuss about what Jim has said? It's not a veiled swipe at all, if anything it's a compliment, Dublin are going to dominate for years to come he said. Very insulting indeed!!! I read comments by Jim earlier this year where he complimented Dublin for being able to access such resources and it was up to everyone else to catch up, much like hey as said on here again... The truth is the truth whether some want to hear it or not. Dublin do have the best resources and are miles ahead of the rest. I was I could be a fan of a team who were so far ahead in this respect, certainly wouldn't be annoyed about it! Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1321 - 19/08/2014 11:13:23 1638759 Link 0 |

How many more threads will be started that turn into a Dublin spending/advantage etc etc...I am bored of it. Jim gave an opinion and the ppers as usual take it out of context from what I can see. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 19/08/2014 11:28:54 1638770 Link 0 |

Maybe Jim should follow Grimley's approach ; people obviously cannot handle anything that is said at all. He was asked a direct question about Dublin , he deliberately posited that Dublin deserve credit and the rest should follow.

It is disrespectful in the extreme - by comparing Dublin to Chelsea we have to assume he is talking about finances. Abramovich is known for buying the premierleague by funding large transfers and paying huge wages. Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 19/08/2014 11:44:09 1638782 Link 0 |
Why is it Dublin supporters get so excited everytime someone discusses the vast difference in resources between the Dubs and everyone else. The facts are: tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1126 - 19/08/2014 11:46:06 1638784 Link 0 |
Who cares what he says, tabloid sub-editing, there's a game on the 31st, and it's the only game in town! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 19/08/2014 11:46:40 1638785 Link 0 |

Well obviously the reporter cared realdub, since he asked, obviously the readers of HS care, since it is in the most read stories on the site, and obviously the HS forum users care because it is getting a shed load of posts. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 19/08/2014 12:01:47 1638800 Link 0 |
Think everyone needs to get down off their high horses. Maybe the reason Dublin are doing so well is that at this moment in time Dublin have the best panel of players in the country? Simples really. But of course everyone looks for an excuse, has to be the Abromavich like cash reserves, the fleet of Toyotas, playing in Croke Park, etc. bubba83 (Dublin) - Posts: 333 - 19/08/2014 12:09:33 1638805 Link 0 |

By reading the posts on here people must of just read the headline. He wasn't saying anything bad about the dubs just stating that they have more resources than most and they have taking football to the next level in which I believe he is correct and the dubs have set the template for the rest to follows. I didn't believe anything negative was said about Dublin. red1980 (Donegal) - Posts: 106 - 19/08/2014 12:32:18 1638817 Link 0 |
