Replying To KingdomBoy1: "I agree 100% gleebo, I'm glad I'm not the only 1 who can see this." In fairness Kingdom Boy neither can we, but the spell in division two and the loss of COC have probably put the dampener on any talk of Mayo for Sam for this year.
Dublin will win every game up to the final by a double digit margin, whereupon they'll pass the ball to themselves again for the last ten minutes to keep the score respectable and quell any talk of them being broken up. Frankenstein's Monster, etc.

If Dublin win Sam again this year as many are expecting how about we have an All Ireland selection take them on in a big charity match say around Halloween time, with the proceeds maybe going to the homeless charities, by then hopefully we'll be allowed a decent sized crowd in Croker, be some craic trying to select the rest of Ireland team.

There's only one horse in this race, folks." I hope you don't ever take up management or coaching because you wont win anything.
I wouldn't show the Dubs an ounce of respect if I was playing against or managing a team against them, not one fn ounce.
And when they are knocked off their perch it will be by a team who has my attitude.

We'll win no allireland this year and unfortunately its gona be 7 in a row.

Kerry or Dublin will win the all Ireland - it was ever thus for 50% of the entire GAA history
The other turkeys have voted for Christmas every year - refusing to give up the lop sided provincial structure- even going back to knockout provincials for the past two ffs
Let's deal in inevitable facts:
Munster
Kerry will win 69% of Munster titles
Cork will win 30%
Once every 30 years Clare, Tipp or Limerick might get one. Waterford will never win a Munster football title
Leinster
Dublin will win 66% of Leinster titles - if the current funding and home advantage situation isn't changed this may go to 80%
Meath and Kildare will win 30%
Once every 20 years Laois, Westmeath, Offaly or Wexford might get one. Louth, Wicklow, Longford and Carlow will never win a Leinster football title
Ulster
Every decade will have a dominant team and two - three close challengers.
Therefore there will always be a second level of 4 middling teams (capable of a big day but not consistent) and the top eight are almost interchangeable with the exception of Fermanagh (who, while competitive, will never win)
Antrim will always be no 9 unless a funding and home advantage bias is created aka Dublin
Connacht
Mayo and Galway will always be the teams to beat and win 85% of titles between them
Roscommon will always step in to win when the above are off their game
Sligo or Leitrim will win one every 40 years
When you consider the above has always been the case - how can anyone make a case for retaining anything other than the Ulster Championship
In order to correct the spread of All Ireland titles 2 things have been proven and need to be redressed
1. Dublins advantages in population, funding and home advantage have to flipped to a bias in the opposite way - with Dublin being split in 3 teams
2. Kerry has to be split also
Have a senior All Ireland with the following:
1x ulster group of 4 teams
2x Rest of Ireland groups with 3 Connacht, 3 Munster (Cork, Kerry x2) and 5 Leinster (Meath, Kildare, Dublin x2 and one other)
Previous years B winner
Everyone else either amalgamated or plays B football
B football is designed to give as many games as possible

The top teams have been tearing into the Dubs for the past decade and it has made no difference whatsoever, if anything their margin of victory over their nearest rivals (not to mention the cannon fodder counties in Leinster) is increasing and their team's average age is dropping.
I wonder how many All-Irelands in a row it'll take before the penny drops with some people? My bet is ten, but then some are remarkably hard-headed...
The systematic approach put in place in Dublin, coupled with long-term changes (depopulation?) in rural Ireland mean that the last decade is not a blip, but a pattern. Dublin will dominate the All-Ireland championship for now on.

A Mayo man making snide remarks about Mick O'Dwyer when several of Mayos All -Ireland losses can be directly attributed to poor management on the day.

Two days ago you were on here gossiping like an auld one at the bingo, Jesus isn't it awful Michael Duignan wasn't at the Offaly game, what's it got to do with you, pure thrash talk.
Your problem is once you get a scolding from AG once you cant move on.
Worry about Carlow and never mind gossiping about other counties.
