Former Laois star Ross Munnelly says an independent review should be conducted on whether Dublin gain an advantage by playing their home matches at Croke Park.

Tomorrow (Sunday) sees the Dubs commencing their All-Ireland SFC round-robin campaign when they play Roscommon at Croker (4pm).

Speaking on 2FM's Game On programme yesterday, Munnelly said it’s time to “let people make a call” on the matter.

"Familiarity is a huge advantage, so maybe once and for all we should see an independent review,” said the Arles–Kilcruise clubman who announced his inter-county retirement last December.

"My own home pitch is very important and I’m always confident when I play there with my club.

"Dublin have won so many All-Irelands and have provided so many of the best players of all generations, so do an independent review and let people make a call.

"You can factor everything in and see if factually it does give them an advantage or not. If it doesn’t then good luck to them, and if it does, let the GAA worry about it.

"It is not to slight all the Dublin players who have won All-Irelands, and it is probably no help to them and I’m sure they are sick of people talking about it as well."
