Theres not a whole pile wrong with Ulster football! waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 17/04/2017 01:30:52 1980033 Link 2 |
Up until 2010/2011 it was a a very good championship as it was competitive.If Dublin were in Ulster they'd be handing out similar beatings.

Yes, minus Dublin Leinster is a excellent even competitive championship. If Dublin were in ulsters for last 7 years they would have won it too apart from Donegal there was no opposition. Same this year c

The games I Leinster excluding Dublin have been excellent for past number of years. Dublin would have done same in ulster last couple of years. Not one ulster team made all ire semis last year. Cant see it happening this year either

Donegal won Ulster 3 times, Monaghan 2 times and Tyrone 2 times. Compared to other counties it's very competitive

I was referring to the Leinster championship.

Have Dublin not won 11 out of 12 since 2005? (Open for correction) How is that competitive? The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 17/04/2017 14:42:10 1980143 Link 0 |
They faced a lot of close games in that first run of 5 in a row.

I don't think anyone can say Leinster is competitive after 1 team wins 11 out off 12.

Yeah.As you see in the first 5 in a row they faced a number of close games.

They faced a number of close games in the 00's.Since then they've blown everyone away but up until 2010 the other teams put it up to them.

You're clutching lad. How can you say Leinster is competitive after one team dominating for so long. They have lost one game in 10 odd years. Give it up.

I said it was competitive.Not is.Was as in past tense.

Ok you want to get the last word. It wasn't competitive in the first 5 years either. Dublin won them all.

Donegal have never had a better group of more natural players . TheRightStuff (Donegal) - Posts: 1688 - 17/04/2017 21:09:39 1980236 Link 2 |
Teams can win all the time and the championship can be competitive.Competitive means competition not there being a spread of winners.

Then why don't they go out and play some football.No point having good footballers and not letting them play. They've played terrible stuff for the last couple of years.

Out of 17 games in the first 5 years there were 5 games where a team got within 3 points of Dublin. The rest were hammerings. So how was it competitive?
