So your saying, because coaching is poor in other counties, the GAA should continue to fund Dublin far more than other counties.. makes sense. It's not like extra money will help counties produce more skillful players or anything..

The "monster" on display was shocking lack of basic skills, who in their right minds would waste money on that? The mistake everyone is making is the money Dublin got was not spent on a team it was spent on a project years ago. What most non-Dubs on here want is like millions to spend on Senior Inter-county squads. The money they get (and they will get money) has to be spent on 8/9/10/11 year old's, they must employ coaches and get them to work at underage. But i suspect none of this is happening. I don't know how much Meath GAA spent on their football team but it certainly was a waste of money. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 23/06/2019 17:54:15 2199139 Link 5 |
Galway sure found a way around that one in the second half against the Ros. If you don't shoot lads you can't miss.

Division two must have been dreadfully low in quality this year if Meath made it to the final. Ned_Stormcrow (Cavan) - Posts: 1071 - 23/06/2019 17:57:25 2199143 Link 2 |
A few left alright but a good few were moving from the front towards the covered areas as it was p*ssing down then.

Worse than expected, was that a record low score from us today? Hard to regroup now for the last of the qualifiers and a kind draw is the best we can hope for. As ridiculous as this might sound, I don't think the Dubs are quite the team they were and I think Donegal might do a number on them in September.

Meath on the way down already. Relegation from div 1 and they'll back where they started. 4 points over 80 minutes is disgraceful superdub (Dublin) - Posts: 392 - 23/06/2019 18:04:51 2199157 Link 5 |

Can't imagine the Cork gig appealing to him at all

Have to congratulate Dublin on their win, hugely accurate and efficient in the last 25 mins in difficult conditions. Meath obviously needed to convert their chances in order to ask questions of Dublin and difficult to know where they go from here lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 23/06/2019 18:08:51 2199165 Link 1 |
He said that before the game. Kildare were pretty horrible too.

Truly awful. The Leinster championship is a waste of time. Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 23/06/2019 18:13:46 2199172 Link 2 |
Look it was a disappointing result for Meath and it will be hard to pick themselves up from that. Their inability to score meant they were not able to build up any momentum and it was always going to hurt them come the final quarter.

When you have the funding to have coaches in the schools & the clubs imparting the skills on the level they have in Dublin, that can be the difference. Yes coaching practices in some counties are abysmal & in some counties GDO's are involved with Third level colleges & County teams & not fulfilling their roles. But ultimately if you are providing coaching on an unprecedented level to other counties, the gap will never close. Having said that it's a completely separate issue & the inequity in the funding needs to be addressed by the GAA but it should not be used to take away what a great team & manager Dublin have.

I don't think they have the players. Up front they had nothing. They also had no plan. Played around Dublin and into the spaces they directed them into. They were excellent defensively but very naive on the ball. You have to have an attacking game plan and a way of getting the ball into the scoring zone. They didn't have that at all.

Yes congratulations to Dublin on their win & continued dominance. And commiserations to the GAA on their ultimate loss. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 23/06/2019 18:19:41 2199180 Link 2 |
Then you should leave not royaldunne. Honestly nobody is pointing a gun at your head to stay here. There have been plenty of posters said they were leaving if this that or the other happened and didnt. So what?? Its the internet. Deal with it!
