Yeh once again I'd put it down to how tight and structured the Kerry and Mayo defenses were.

Or our forwards didn't play to their full potential.Bit of both in my opinion.

No Dublin forward scoring for the first 30 minutes of last years final.Good defense or not,thats unheard of for this team.Please God we will turn it on when it matters most this year. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 01/02/2017 20:14:51 1951039 Link 0 |

Haha, strange comparison alright and anyways I'm pretty sure Glasgow has 2 teams already.... Going back to the spilting Dublin in 2 debate. I would be completely against it. Dublin had a barron enough spell from 1995 to 2011 and put alot of work into underage coaching and facilities etc. I know there's funding issues in relation to all this but it wasn't and isn't Dublin's fault. I think the GAA is in a better place when you have strong Dublin and Kerry teams as most sports have historically strong successful teams and every other team wants to beat them and young kids growing up want to play for or against them depending on their circumstances. Obviously alot more work is needed in some of the "weaker" counties but as even Dublin showed in their barron spell it doesn't happen over night.

The point being people are whinging about it being uncompetitive in leinster and the same people don't have a problem with the Scottish league being a coronation for the last 5 years to their beloved Celtic, it's only in Ireland people whinge when others are succesfull instead of getting off their backsides and doing something themselves to come up to that level they want to reduce the successful teams.

That has nothing got to do with it being uncompetitive and the same people having no problem supporting the Scottish league continuing that way as long as there team Celtic are winning it but the same people whinge because Dublin have set the bar in football and they are from a different county. Sidenote if your trying to suggest rangers are competition these days just because they used to be a big club nearly a decade ago just look at the league table Celtic have only had won game they didn't win in 20 and that was even a draw. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 02/02/2017 19:19:10 1951324 Link 0 |
Totally disagree with the GAA being better when trafitional teams are great. In the 90's Dublin and Kerry were fairly poor. All Ireland's were very spread. Cork won 1, Down won 2, Donegal won 1, Derry won 1, Dublin won 1, Kerry won 1, Meath won 2 and Galway won 1. That is a massive spread and would definitely get more people playing in those counties. Even Offaly, Cavan and Leitrim broke through to win provincials. Even in hurling, Kilkenny got 2, Cork got 2, Tipp got 1. But Clare and Offally got 2 each and Wexford got 1. Interesting to see when the economy did well smaller counties also did well

Can't see Dublin weaken. Isn't J Mc C back with them? Also, they have an endless supply of young superb players. J Mc C back + Endless Supply of Young Talent + Experience of Older Great Players = Dubs for Sam 3in Row!l GormlaighG (Mayo) - Posts: 77 - 02/02/2017 20:55:55 1951342 Link 0 |
its a completely different sport and system though...just seems like a very random comparison to make..dividing up a professional team wouldnt matter because they are all bought and paid for..it isnt decided on geography like we are!

I fail to see how ? As I don't see non celtic supporters whinging in Scotland that it's uncompetitive and unfair on them full stop. it's non dubs who keep whinging here yet have no problem supporting teams in other sports that are succesfull and make it uncompetitive to neutrals hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 03/02/2017 20:02:38 1951665 Link 0 |
