First, this is not another thread proposing to split the all conquering Dubs. But, given that we have nothing left to talk about except the depth of the current champions' panel, how would the 2 teams line up if the river split the county in 2? Would they each make be in top 5 nationally? Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1057 - 04/10/2016 17:22:19 1922513 Link

Not really a runner as some clubs are "west Dublin" and as such are neither north or south Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 04/10/2016 17:50:28 1922524 Link

Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Not really a runner as some clubs are "west Dublin" and as such are neither north or south" Don't say that out loud Liamo, they'll want to split us in three! Mickmick (Dublin) - Posts: 104 - 04/10/2016 18:14:15 1922536 Link
You can't be west or east of the Liffey Liam! Breffni39 (Cavan) - Posts:10498 - 04/10/2016 18:05:58 192 The Liffey rises in the Wicklow mountains and flows in an arc into Kildare and back into Dublin. Therefore South Dublin is south, east and north of the Liffey. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 04/10/2016 18:29:37 1922544 Link
Replying To Breffni39: "You can't be west or east of the Liffey Liam!" Would you consider Blanch north or South Breff? Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 04/10/2016 18:31:03 1922545 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Would you consider Blanch north or South Breff?" Is Blanch not quite straightforwardly North. I'd say right now both would be division 1 were they to split. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4225 - 04/10/2016 18:49:32 1922551 Link
Replying To Whammo86: "Is Blanch not quite straightforwardly North. I'd say right now both would be division 1 were they to split." Blanch is west If push came to shove, they would be northsiders alright, but in reality they are "west dublin" In the eyes of many, Clondalkin and Ballyfermot would also be "west Dublin" while undoubtedly being on the "southside" if you follow?

Cluxton North McMahon North Cooper North Fitzsimmons South Small North O Sullivan South McCarthy North Fenton North Flynn North Kilkenny North McManamon South Connolly North Andrews North Rock North Mannion South Byrne South Lowndes North Daly North Brogan North McAuley South Costello North Gavin South Player wise North would cream the South surely.

ya but Ormond, when we speak of "northsiders" and "Southsiders", Blanch, Lucan, Skerries, Swords etc wouldnt really fall into either category. I mean dont get me wrong they are by definition, one or the other as in north or south of the river , but REAL northsiders would the like of Raheny, Marino, Whitehall. Real southside would be your Liberties, Rialto, Crumlin, me own area Walkinstown, Drimnagh. Of course there is always your more......affluent places on both sides, like Blackrock, Foxrock on one side and D4 in general on the southside, but to be honest, a Walkinstown Gael has far more in common with a Raheny Gael than he has in common with a Donnybrook fella If you get me !! This whole Dubs geography is very strange, and anyways, what if you were raised in say, Ballinteer, play for St Johns, but work and live in say Phibsboro....??

like, Donegal and Kerry are on the west coast, but when we speak of "westerners" usually it infers the coastal counties of Connacht.....am i wrong? Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 04/10/2016 19:35:40 1922575 Link
West Dublin exists just for those who don't like the association with Northsiders or Southsiders. That's my take and that's all that matters! Blanch is North every day of the week. At a push County Dublin if you wanna make that distinction. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12120 - 04/10/2016 19:39:03 1922578 Link

Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "like, Donegal and Kerry are on the west coast, but when we speak of "westerners" usually it infers the coastal counties of Connacht.....am i wrong?" West usually refers to all of Connacht and excluding the other counties on the Western seaboard. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 04/10/2016 20:09:16 1922587 Link
