Replying To Furlong1949: "Lets now look at counties provicial title record in both leinster and Munster and again its a very similar pattern. In Munster u have the kingpins kerry with 80 Munster titles In leinster u have the kingpins Dublin with 57 leinster titles In Munster kerrys main rival Cork have won 13 Munster senior titles in last 35 years In leinster Dublins main rival Meath have won 9 leinster titles in last 35 years The Rest Limerick havent won a Munster senior title in over 120 years Waterford havent won a Munster senior title in over 120 years Tippearey havent won a Munster senior title in over 80 years Clare have won 1 Munster senior title in 80 years Westmeath have won 1 leinster senior title in 120 years Wicklow have never won a leinster senior title in 120 years Carlow havent won a leinster senior title in over 70 years Wexford havent won a leinster senior title in over 70 years Longford havent won 1 leinster senior title in 120 years Laois have won 1 leinster senior title in over 70 years louth havent won leinster senior title in over 60 years Offaly havent won a leinster senior title in 35 years Kildare have won 2 leinster senior titles in over 60 years In conclusion Dublin and kerry have both dominated both proviences. And their record is very similar and the record of teams in both proviences are very very similar." Sorry about 1 stat. I got wrong in the above message. I should have said Offaly have won 1 leinster title in 35 years ( in 1997). Furlong1949 (Meath) - Posts: 1067 - 27/06/2018 11:29:40 2115833 Link

A win for Kildare doesn't change how I'm competitive Leinster is, what it does say along with Wicklow minors win is tell us that the standard is improving, and if results in other provinces have told us anything the competitive nature of those provinces particularly Munster is nothing to right home about , last word to Kildare I wouldn't say Leinster folk are known for getting behind each other , tonight I was in your corner congrats delighted Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 30/06/2018 21:43:20 2116952 Link
One thing is for sure - the Leinster Championship is more competitive than the Munster Football Championship, and that is for sure Kildare on the up, Laois improving, Meath underage getting back on track also. So to all the Kerry posters on here - what competition has Munster got to offer Kerry footballers for the foreseeable future,,, Cork....??? Dont make me laugh. They are fast becoming a Hurling county only.... For a county that size, populaton and excellent sponsorship - Cork are shocking... Kerry will win the next 10 Munster Championships EASILY..... to add to the 80 provinicial titles in the bag,,, Kerry Minors and Under 20's very strong so the conveyor belt shows no signs of coming to a halt... Yes, some Kerry poster moan about the lack of competition Dublin have in Leinster.... Such hypocrites... More of the cute hoorism they are famous for.... But sssshhh, don't let them Kerry folk know we can see through their deflection tactics..... ;o) Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3732 - 08/07/2018 09:09:46 2119506 Link

The same grown men that will tell you black is white will obviously disagree and get their panties in a twist as usual. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 08/07/2018 10:07:55 2119518 Link
Delighted for Kildare to be honest and its great for Leinster football. As have the really competitive underage grades this year, Dublin have had a really poor year. Leinster and Munster are equally poor at senior level. You would have to say the best two teams in Leinster haven't played each other this year though (yet). I suppose that hints at a litle more of a competitive championship. Green shoots seem to be there for Leinster, each to their own in Munster really its been as it has been since the beginning of time.

Replying To GreenandRed: "What competition do Dublin have in the Leinster Championship?" How have the Dublin Minors and Under 20's done this year in Leinster. Dublin conveyor belt is drying up - Kerry on the other hand.... Kildare can be a real force in Leinster, and Meath gave Tyrone a right rattle this year - and look what Tyrone did to Cork... Munster is in a far worse state but once Dublin are concerned, they will catch the headlines... If i was in the GAA hierarchy I would be far more concerned with Munster. Have you seen the scores the underage Kerry teams are racking up this year and their Seniors are becoming a top top team also. I will put money that Dublin will lose a Leinster Senior game before Kerry lose a Munster game. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3732 - 08/07/2018 11:50:29 2119555 Link
signs of hope in the underage levels...dublin dumped out and hopefully the likes of meath and kildare can push on now at senior level mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 08/07/2018 11:57:31 2119559 Link

I just think the talent that Kerry are bringing through is of a very high level they are on target to win 5 minor all Irelands in a row now that's awesome for any county but with Kerry you just know whats coming now fair play to them they have put in the work and coaching but in think to be fair to other countys in munster I think other provinces would struggle to cope with this Kerry dominance at all levels rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 08/07/2018 12:34:04 2119571 Link

Replying To kildare73: "Why was it waffle? What parts weren't true as you see it?" I asked what competition do the Dublin Senior team have in the Leinster Championship. The reply was waffling on about the Munster Championship and underage teams in Leinster. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7345 - 08/07/2018 14:51:18 2119609 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "I asked what competition do the Dublin Senior team have in the Leinster Championship.

Dublin are Dublin, the rest are playing catch up. Doesn't matter where you are from. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 08/07/2018 15:03:03 2119615 Link
Replying To kildare73: "You can expand that question to the whole country if you want to go down that road. Dublin are Dublin, the rest are playing catch up. Doesn't matter where you are from." I know sure. But I only asked about Dublin's Leinster competitors. There's no point in thinking they're unbeatable. They've set a high bar, up to the rest to try and reach that level even it's a massive challenge. Like Offaly in the early 80s. They said that great Kerry team wouldn't be beaten but McGee's men proved them wrong. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7345 - 08/07/2018 15:23:34 2119621 Link
