P Spillane commented yesterday on all county's spending huge amounts on inter county teams which I believe is true but I think the top 4 are now at professional levels of preparation , Mayo have a top class S&C although probably with Mayo before joining Arsenal(this shows how will thought off he is) & Dublin players have meals delivered to them,these teams are now at new levels and now makes it impossible almost for outside teams to compete golfcar (Roscommon) - Posts: 60 - 08/08/2017 09:24:24 2030791 Link 2 |
Dublin players have meals delivered to them GaaGaa78 (UK) - Posts: 285 - 08/08/2017 10:40:48 2030852 Link 0 |
Fake news 're Dublin getting their meals delivered. Philly owns a company called Fitfood and the Ballymun lads BUY from him. Entirely different to all the team getting their meals delivered for free!

I've had loads of meals delivered to me, Chinese, Indian, Pizzas etc. Never improved my substandard footballing abilities....

Oh I see. And that's why they made you look like a pub team yesterday, is it?

The vast majority of the difference is that the top 4 teams have better players and more of them. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4172 - 08/08/2017 11:16:58 2030875 Link 0 |
Antrim footballers had a renounced S&C coach in a few years ago who had worked with professional teams etc. A lot of good that did! It means nothing without talent and commitment SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 08/08/2017 11:25:43 2030878 Link 0 |

You can bring in the best back room team ever assembled and all kinds of mind and s and c gurus but if you haven't got good players to start off with its not going to make much of a difference ! To use that old expression (courtesy of my granny) you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear !

Its all swings and roundabouts. The top 4 won't remain the same top 4 forever. Sure it was the top three until Mayo blew Roscommon out yesterday. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 08/08/2017 12:54:28 2030963 Link 0 |
I work with one of the team and have mentioned this to him before having read it here, he thinks it's hilarious and wonders where people get these fake stories from. Am surprised the OP didn't mention the daily visits by masseurs and the personal shopping service they all get, just to make sure they don't exert themselves too much.

Mayo spent over 1.5 million last year on all teams and won an U-21 got to senior final. They still made a profit due to incomings. Roscommon spent 1.1 million, how much more money do you want? Hilarious thread.

It comes down mostly to playing resources and what you have to pick from as well as organization coaching and a will to succeed. salvador (Roscommon) - Posts: 439 - 08/08/2017 14:11:46 2031033 Link 0 |
Amazing the shift in attitude from your county after yesterday. A coming team that were destined for big things, a day later it isn't fair.

The top County will always remain the same. It has been like this for the last 100 years and will stay so. Why people believe that the GAA can or should create some utopia is beyond me! witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 08/08/2017 15:29:55 2031098 Link 0 |

We'll be aiming for top eight make no mistake next year and will try to bridge the huge gap in conditioning and physicality to the top four. Its reality a blind man can see the imbalance. Not complaining at all. A senior. Intermediate and junior is fair Mayo in fairness more than punch their weight and ye are capable of winning the All Ireland and I hope ye do. salvador (Roscommon) - Posts: 439 - 08/08/2017 15:51:42 2031118 Link 0 |
Not having a pop at you I am just saying the attitude has totally changed. Roscommon spent well over a million last year, where is the imbalance there? Years and years they keep talking about underage teams and give them a couple of years etc etc. This Roscommon team is no better than any team since 06.
