It's avoidance of the points I raised and wasted resources that has Kildare winning two Leinster Champinships in 60 years. Kildare have big problems, but they were there and continue to be there long before and after Dublin. It's a very good question, why don't Kildare have a CEO, who gift is that in. We won't apologise for contemporary governance structure. Dublin don't have a COE, but while we're on the subject Kildare needed to be bailed out of that hawk field vanity project to the tune of 300k. Classic Kildare. Then as your talking of Goverment grants 4.5 mill in state funding for Newbridge. Loads left over to give I don't know, John Maugham a tilt at the top job. Kildare received 335.5k in games development funding in 2019 for a population of 222k = €1.5 per head Dublin received 1.3 mill in games development funding for a population 1.4 million = € 92 cent per head. * Thats before Kildare get their share of Leinster council distribution and East Leinster funding. So all in all in hawk field bailouts, 4.5 mill Goverment capital funding, serious GDF funding, Kildare continue along a path of not developing, their own, paying hand over fist for outside big name ringers managers. All the while blaming everyone else for their problems and looking for more handouts. If you can't see Kildare problem is Kildare, that's fine, no skin here. But if you are blaming Dublin on a Kildare non identity, lack of a plan or the reason you've won two Leinster titles in 60 years, I feel for you. You won't get better. Kildares problem is Kildare.

Saw that and credit where credit is due. I recall saying before that after a league game v Kerry in Tralee a few years ago Éamonn Fitzmaurice said Cluxton knocked on Jerry dressing room looking for a brush to which Fitzmaurice said not to worry bout it but Cluxton insisted he wanted to sweep dressing room.

I don't know why all the negative about Dublin they're not robots. . Of coarse they're celebrating that was plain to see after the game Toman (Galway) - Posts: 622 - 21/12/2020 07:48:23 2324940 Link 1 |
What a joke. The cat is out of the bag with a while now. Professional players don't sweep up the dressing room. A P. R exercise for the dubs. Good look with the 10 in a row traleegerry (Kerry) - Posts: 738 - 21/12/2020 08:05:49 2324942 Link 2 |
That's it. Congratulations reald to you. It's not the same as 11 etc but still satisfying. You and I have been on here a long time, can I ask a different question. Would a defeat hurt as much as the ones in the 00s ?? If it was to come to pass. The passion for both winning and defeat is getting less and less for myself, the defeat in Leinster final didn't bother me half as much as one would have 10 years ago. We have became accustomed to it. Getting a lot more enjoyment out of league these days.

It's quite simple, he's been injured for the championship. He hasn't been on the bench.

P. S. I was told Kerry left their dressing room spotless after last years all ireland replay defeat. Even in defeat a nice gesture but no media talk on it. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3678 - 21/12/2020 09:31:05 2324964 Link 2 |
Yes, tax consultants do earn a good salary I believe.

How come the Dubs don't make a song and dance about their 15-in-a row? baire (Galway) - Posts: 1823 - 21/12/2020 10:01:50 2324982 Link 0 |
Ha ha are we at the point were are arguing which team leave their dressing room cleaner. :D The Dublin lads, were pulled from their jobs to do a professional sweeping course, while the GAA have provided Dublin with funds for brushes from Arnotts with a new scoop. Dubs have been calling Cian O Sullivan for years called the best sweeper in Ireland and people thought they meant him playing at 6. :D TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 21/12/2020 10:26:48 2324997 Link 0 |
Yes I would say you're right RD, the defeats in the 00s and 90s hurt but I think the older you get the less emotional involvement, too many more important distractions in life! Watching the game on Saturday I found myself with little or no nerves at the throw in. But having said that, this years championship didn't feel like one at all. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8597 - 21/12/2020 10:56:18 2325008 Link 3 |
Just making the point User that some posters saying dubs are heroes for cleaning dressing room but it's was publicised by video footage. Other teams clean up and not a word about it. I applaud them and think it's good but in defeat it has to be respected too maybe even more so. Balance to the statement that's all.On Cian Ó Sullivan he was the ultimate sweeper and maybe that's where Cluxton got the cleanings skills from. Cian comes from great stock.
