Ultimately, it's a thinly veiled swipe at Dublin's success; comparing them to Chelsea is implying, deliberately or otherwise, that they've somehow "bought" their success. ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 20/08/2014 08:13:28 1639127 Link 0 |

Possibly a storm in a teacup lads. McG is not everyones favourite manager, but I'd say the lads in the Indo are making a meal of it the same way they are with MDMA's reply. Noting controversial in that article except been compared with Chelsea, rather Man City a nice shade of blue! bluedubstar (Dublin) - Posts: 835 - 20/08/2014 10:13:56 1639170 Link 0 |
What our people reading hear Jim has said nothing bad about Dublin, people need to read the article in full before coming out with stupid comments. knowtherules (UK) - Posts: 181 - 20/08/2014 10:15:08 1639174 Link 0 |

hurling dub I think you are a bit confused about my point on semi finals and vested interests. anyway I was talking about the universal game of football and not the 12ish team hurling championship. jon carter how exactly could galway have more resources than kerry mayo or donegal. combined between hurling and football yes but not for football as the counties you mention are largely football only. galway would have fewer football clubs than the counties you mention and very few dual in both codes. also resources have as much to do with sponsorship and branding as they with size. dublin in fairness are playing the most attractive football at the moment and this adds to the brand. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1947 - 20/08/2014 12:00:49 1639246 Link 0 |
Chelsea??? Is he having a laugh? Who are they? Surely we are the Real Madrid of the GAA! seany16 (Dublin) - Posts: 1658 - 20/08/2014 12:11:02 1639258 Link 0 |
Fair play to the Dub supporters here , glad to see a pragmatic response . It was cuteness but harmless . Funny how Larry Tomkins actually names players today in a scathing article on Mayo and not a mention . Whether one likes JMG or not ... hip opinion always casts above a response !

A little disappointed but not at all surprised to see the kneejerk reaction from the usual suspects. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 20/08/2014 12:34:39 1639272 Link 0 |
Ah sure look, all part of the build up to the game and will have absolutely no bearing on the result. Media spin answers whatever way that sells most papers. Have to say I sat in front of Jim McGuiness at the league semi-final versus mayo last year. Seemed a friendly an affable guy who chatted away to people and gave autographs and took photos with people that asked him. He said very little during the actual game itself with the exception of one thing when he turned to rory gallagher and went " Dublin have some forwards". So now he is facing them again and if he manages to turn us over it will be a mighty achievement. Then you have eamon fitzmaurice putting mayo up on a pedestal about their conditioning, strength etc. etc, not to mention saying that he is happy the david coldrick referring the game. I would see this as pure kerry cuteness. Part and parcel of the business end of the championship. Frankly though I couldn't care less if Gavin and co don't get involved in any chit-chat before the game and let the lads do the talking on the pitch. What I like about gavin is he says little at times but get's his point over and other times he talks alot without saying anything. Adamski (Dublin) - Posts: 339 - 20/08/2014 12:42:00 1639284 Link 0 |

NOt worth even think about what JMG might have said or meant. MDMA ought to have said nothing and not feed this. Jaysus, though they're all coming out of the woodwork now. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 20/08/2014 13:18:05 1639309 Link 0 |
