no surprise here. all the nordies club together and all the dubs think no one has any right to question their moumental resource base. don't need mcguinness to tell us the resources the dubs have. sure its in the interest of the GAA that the dubs get to a semi final every year at least for gate receipts. final does not matter as it would be a sell out irrespective of who would be involved. jim if he is trying to make a point is using it for mind games. my take out of all this is the attention as always is taken from the kingdom and remember 'he who smiles seldom will have the last laugh'. mayo unusually quiet as well which tells me that the winner of sam will be the on sunday. dubs donegal forget there is a final after it seems. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1947 - 19/08/2014 12:42:06 1638821 Link 0 |

Ok The Master, so everyone cares, except me, as in it doesn't bother me that he said that, I'd thank you for your concern but when it comes to Dublin, you're always concerned! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 19/08/2014 12:48:03 1638825 Link 0 |
bubba83, if that is the case then why not give it up? Then we can see how good Dublin actually are. I don't mean that negatively either, dublin might well be the best gaa county in the country, but we will never know until they are on an even footing with those they are competing against, and so people will continue to point to their advantages, much like people will continue to point to man city's advantages or Chelsea's advantages. That is just the reality of it. Dublin seem to want to be seen as a great gaa county, up there with Kerry, but that will never happen in their current guise. That is just the reality of it.

God did jim not get the memo that said don't say anything about the Dublin setup as some of their fans are very sensitive. Did you even read the article Liam or just see the headline and think I need to go onto hoganstand and complain. Jim even said in it he tried to do the same thing in donegal over the last 4 years. ringerbell (Donegal) - Posts: 39 - 19/08/2014 12:53:37 1638831 Link 0 |
Jim McGuinness seems to be quite genuine and complimetary of Dublin so I dont see whats the problem with his comments. breakingball22 (Louth) - Posts: 419 - 19/08/2014 13:07:40 1638844 Link 0 |

Dublin lads before you get your knickers in a twist please just read the article .... Him isn't knocking Dublin ot trying to makeup mind games..... He is merely stating the truth with the resources they have, which the dubs feel very sensitive about but the reality is no other county has them...... Good luck to yous for that..... But please don't let the truth get in the way of a good story....... ben1977 (Donegal) - Posts: 364 - 19/08/2014 13:20:12 1638853 Link 0 |

Why are Nordies always going on about soccer!!?? You see more British soccer jersies at Ulster championship matches than GAA jersies, they even like to pretend one of them is Irish ba ha ha bad.monkey (USA) - Posts: 4624 - 19/08/2014 13:28:03 1638857 Link 0 |

The irony in jims comments astounds me! Maybe he was being complimentary but comparing dublin to Chelsea is laughable because as far as i can see jim mc Guinness is the gaa's answer to jose mourinho as far as mind games go ' no such mullarkey from jim gavin who has total faith in his players to do his talking on the pitch!

As an earlier poster said, people need to come down off their high horses. Everyone do themselves a favor and go and read the article. Re read it. There is nothing disingenuous about it. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 19/08/2014 13:54:34 1638866 Link 0 |
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but first at least try to inform yourselve. What facillites has Dublin GAA got? They train as hard as Donegal, probably the same type of training, they have 15 players. Dublin unlike Chelsea don't buy players nor pay wages there is NO comparison that is worth making. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4898 - 19/08/2014 13:58:33 1638867 Link 0 |
