Dublin are safe in the knowledge that they will never have to play Kerry in a packed Killarney or Mayo in Castlebar winner takes all game. People have tried to change the structure of the championship but it has been constantly voted against, so until that happens you can look forward to Dublin winning the next 10-20 Leinster titles in a row, and perhaps the All Ireland too. weatherfieldgael (UK) - Posts: 60 - 30/05/2022 08:33:07 2420928 Link 0 |
Since 2000, Kerry have won 17 munsters and six all irelands, Dublin 18 Leinsters and 8 all Irelands. Granted Dublin are hammering teams in Leinster for the last while, Kerry when in full flow destroy Munster teams to ke40 (Kildare) - Posts: 209 - 30/05/2022 09:03:17 2420936 Link 0 |
2014? You have to go back that long. Half of Div 1 are Ulster teams. There are no Leinster teams in the top flight. Granted that isn't the championship, but it's a measure as to where the standards across the provinces are at. There are at least 5 teams who are capable of beating Dublin in Ulster. There are none in Leinster.

Since Donegal beat Dublin in the 2014 semi final Dublin have played five different Ulster teams 9 times in championship and the record is as follows. Dublin 9 wins vs 0 wins Ulster teams The average winning margin in these 9 games has been 8 points. Dublin would stream roll Ulster competition just like Leinster Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 396 - 30/05/2022 09:34:56 2420946 Link 1 |
The Dubs haven't just dominated Leinster they have dominated the ALL-Ireland too. Apart from a blip last year who would bet against them this year? It's all to easy to sit here and run down Kildare / Meath / Westmeath etc and say that they don't even get a tackle in or they don't get in their faces. These lads don't go out to be beaten like that. Kildare were a division 1 team this year and although relegated gave a decent enough account of ourselves even beating Dublin in Newbridge. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 30/05/2022 09:53:30 2420952 Link 1 |

Yep agreed , lets take Dublin out of Croke Park and down to Killarney/Castlebar or anywhere bring it on for sure . superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 30/05/2022 10:33:00 2420969 Link 2 |
Unless they are meeting in a semi-final i would take that bet.

Don't think it can be the way the draw is. They will meet in the Semi if they both stay winning between now and then.

I dunno how you can keep one provincial championship and not the others. stillaroyal (Meath) - Posts: 224 - 30/05/2022 11:09:29 2420988 Link 0 |
I wouldn't say 5. Tyrone might have beaten them last year, might have, but apart from that? Maybe Donegal or Derry but very unlikely imo.

Imagine every Ulster championship game was held in Croke Park do you think it would still have the same buzz? Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 396 - 30/05/2022 11:44:01 2421013 Link 3 |
I dont think 5 Ulster counties would be beating Dublin neccessarily. But I'd say 5 are in the top 10 or so counties in the country. Kerry, Dublin, Galway, Roscommon, and Mayo being the other 5.

The Colm O'Rourke suggested split Dublin teams would sell out Croke Park for the Leinster final. Surely a great return on the capital financial investment?

Capable of beating Dublin if Dublin were in the Ulster Championship - Tyrone, Monaghan, Armagh, Donegal and Derry.

I think football is in big trouble at senior inter county level, as a product it is almost unwatchable in a lot of cases. The quietness of the crowds in Salthill and Clones yesterday was stark, even though the places were packed out, there was very little to get excited about, especially in the Ulster final. weatherfieldgael (UK) - Posts: 60 - 30/05/2022 13:15:21 2421064 Link 0 |
