Replying To Liamwalkinstown:  "I think no Dubs game should be in Croke Park before Leinster Final. I think Dubs should only have one home game in super 8s. If the GAA can't see the chasm they are facilitating then maybe a boycott possibly IS a good idea.

We are good enough to beat anyone, anywhere.
We would beat Meath in Navan, Kildare in Newbridge. We would beat Kerry in Killarney or Donegal in Ballybofey.

Get the Dubs out of Croker bar the biggest games.

Level the field. Kill the excuses"

Replying To Jack_Goff:  "Have you been hacked? Very refreshing to read a post from a Dub who can see past his own team. And I agree you'd still win but at least without some of the advantages you have.

realdub:
"How on earth any county could take satisfaction from winning a Dublinless Leinster championship is beyond me. Where's the fun in that? What's to be gained on a National level for the 'boycotting' counties?"
How on earth do you take satisfaction in winning Leinster when you look at all the advantages you have? It's a joke.

I'd love Leinster made of up of actual counties. Not Dublin which is 3 county councils in one. Effectively a province. The crowds would return and you'd start seeing finals where teams other then Dublin would bring 20k+ fans to Croker. It would do wonders for the health of the game outside the capital. But apparently we're not important and don't deserve 18m in finding over the next 10 years."

Replying To Crinigan:  "Two prominent players from two different Leinster counties have come out in recent weeks calling on their counties to boycott Leinster championship next year. I've heard whispers from players in other counties and you can be sure there are many players behind them saying the same out loud. Momentum could build quickly on this.

I think it would be a fantastic idea and the right up yours to John Horan and his mob. Obviously idea is that GAA have doped one team behind any semblance of competition etc etc so its time to take back what was once a great competition.

Two groups:

Meath, Carlow, Offaly, Westmeath
Kildare, Laois, Louth, Wexford

Top two teams in semi finals. Final played in Tullamore or Portlaoise (or another ground that isn't home ground of a finalist).

I think it would attract great crowds and above all else it would be fair."

Replying To realdub:  "Yes it's not as much fun as it used to be I'll admit, but that's down to the likes of Kildare and Meath being poor.

County boundaries are what drives this sport. Dublin wont always be this good and let's be honest, the level yourselves and Kildare are at is not our fault."

Replying To baire:  "Being hammered by double or treble scores year after year doesn't encourage any team and it deflates their morale. This happened in the hurling when KK were totally dominant and it took the GAA a good number of years to change the system due to opposition from the Leinster Council. The current set up in gaelic football, esp in Leinster, and in Munster to a lesser degree, is not fit for purpose. It must be addressed. If it's not addressed it won't be good for anyone, including Dublin."

Replying To arock:  "A second tier competition you mean"

Replying To jimbodub:  "Meath bottle it in final, kicking ludicrous wides, missing sitter free kicks, tactically inept, daft positional decisions from sideline. They let themselves down.

= Boycott Leinster

Eamon Callaghan wasn't calling for a boycott when Kildare lost against Carlow or Wicklow this decade or recently taken to a replay against Longford

Kildare are going through a very poor run at senior level. They've had a lot of impressive success at underage, why hasn't that berm brought forward.

Why won't Flynn play this season?

How about being hammered at home by Tyrone recently? How about getting embarrassed by Kerry last year!

All the same applies for Meath...

Both traditional counties are nowhere near the level to win major competitions

"Once great competition"

Dublin has always dominated Leinster. Only 2-3 teams have won the vast bulk of titles, Dublin owning the overwhelming chunk.

Across the 00's (A record equalling low seen in Dublin GAA history)

A poor enough Dublin side were numerous deficiencies were still good enough to win multiple titles in a row in Leinster and then couldn't beat anyone outside of Leinster!

Won multiple titles with ease and then weren't up to the standard outside it.

Leinster was described as the reason for Dublin's collapses, not enough competition, easy route, unprepared for battle, Croke Park was touted as a disadvantage etc

This was before all the perceived advantages.

A poor Dublin team was still good enough.

Leinster's problems go way back!

Yes it's gone very poor now but that's taking away the progress that Longford, Carlow and Westmeath have gained against traditional counties like Meath, Kildare, Offaly

Now I do agree that the Leinster council haven't helped at all and the introduction of the season ticket and the large uptake allocated has limited the options of where Dublin games can be played. They have no doubt picked €€€ over substance. This though has nothing to do with Dublin.

I would 100% be in favour of Dublin playing more games outside of HQ and if that means less revenue generated then so be it.

But what can be done? It's all been democratically voted in to keep it the way it is.

Hats off to Donegal for putting forward the idea of getting Dublin to play their game outside of HQ in Super 8's

But they were left in the cold by almost every other county

Dublin having such a large population will always receive more funding. That's not going to stop, it'll be reduced as has been happening in the last few years, it's dropped and it'll drop further but that's not going to impact much.

I'm telling you now.. the poor enough 00's Dub team would still be winning multiple titles this decade. They'd be more than good enough to beat the likes of Kildare and Meath considering they haven't been good enough this decade to beat Wicklow, Carlow, Longford and Westmeath

They'd have still been easily good enough to win multiple titles in a row just like they did in the 00's

So boycott all you want. You'll still get hammered outside of Leinster by the best teams who are equally miles ahead

The All Ireland series has been hugely competitive this decade.

Unfortunately Leinster hasn't. It hasn't been for for a long time."

Replying To Joxer:  "Leinster Lite. "High on whinge, low on skill" perhaps."

Replying To Crinigan:  "Let's call it the Amateur Gaelic Football Leinster Championship.

The Dubs could play in the professional championship. Only problem is that they'd be the only team in it and would have nobody to play against - but still, no doubt you and most Dubs on this would probably still cheer wildly as Paul Mannion (after he stops rolling around feigning injury perhaps) kicks the ball into an empty net for Dublin's first 5 in a row in the all new GAA All Ireland Professional Championship (could it be called the John Horan Cup?) sponsored by AIG.

Jim Gavin could talk afterwards about how focused his team were as playing against literally nobody is a big challenge, requiring serious mental focus and his Dublin team knew not to take anything for granted coming into today's game against absolutely nobody. Would the yobs on Hill16 notice that there is one team on the pitch though? Who would they get to boo and jeer? The seagulls? Roy Curtis' poetry?"

Replying To CornAghais91:  "Did your county kick 4 pts in a Leinster Final recently?

Was it someone else's fault?

Then 'Leinster Lite' could be for you.

A competition where you get to choose the opposition and not look so incompetent when kicking wides from everywhere. So to win your very own version of the Delaney Cup, sign up now.

It's the way forward, surely."

Replying To Joxer:  "Munster? Yes so this should not be about boycotting Leinster it should be about a complete restructure of the championship. Yeah I'm good with that. Munster has been dead for decades, Leinster is now dying and Connaught is about Mayo and Galway with the Rossies threatening to spoil the party every now and then. Ulster is the only competitive province. Let's face it. Boycott Leinster, Munster and Connaught."
