Replying To Greenfield: " 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." A friendly word. On these message boards it takes a bit of time to build up some credibility so that your musings get read/respected. If you are not even 20 posts in and are coming up with this drivel then your future here, among other things, doesn't seem too bright. Another one to be avoided."
Great start!

My criticism has been with the system and the unfairness of it, nothing to do with the Dublin team who play with great skill and heart. Likewise with those who lose and lose badly. Anyone who has ever played a sport knows that those Meath players are hurting very badly, the least ppl could do here is to say nothing if they don't have anything constructive to say about them. It's most unsporting to hit anyone who is down, cowardly in fact."

Replying To legendzxix: "We have a home and away agreement with all counties. We were lucky to get out of Limerick with a draw in 2004. Limerick had momentum. Dublin do not enter the cauldron of an opponent on final day.
Kerry offered Dublin the toss of a coin for home advantage in the 2001 quarter-final. Dublin's preference was for a neutral Thurles in County Tipperary!" Thanks for the geography lesson ,so bottom line it's in killarney or cork. How many titles have cork ?

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.

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: "I don't think a 'boycott' is going to achieve anything. It would only sour things further. Eventually the GAA will have to address it, the same way they had to address the Leinster Hurling Championship. It should be done on an All Ireland basis, root and branch: the club, the county, the provincials, the championship and league structures. To be honest I can't see it happening soon due to vested interests and the conservative nature of those at the top. Dublin and Kerry will always be there or thereabouts but games need to be competitive otherwise ppl will lose interest and turn to some other sport." Yeah but the whole concept is silly anyway is it not. The Leinster Council is a democratically elected body made up of members from all Leinster counties, or so I believe. It has within it's powers the ability to change or put forward suggestions for change to Central Council, another democratically elected body. To boycott the Leinster and Munster championships would have to be a decision by the county boards undermining the position(s) of these members on the Council(s) presumably. The decisions have to come from the top.

It would be nice if we'd a decent stadium too because unfortunately Croker wasn't built in Navan.

Replying To legendzxix: "In October 2013, the players of Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford threatened to boycott the 2015 Munster Football Championship. They were rightly annoyed with wrong decision to seed Kerry and Cork in opposite semi-finals.
It was about time these counties grew a pair to sort the mess. After extensive meetings, it was rightly agreed that Munster finalists would be seeded to the semi-finals in the following year but could be drawn against each other. Tipperary benefitted from this seeding a few years back. The seeding is now earned on the field of play.
Dublin are guaranteed home advantage in the Leinster final. Why not give the Leinster champions a bye to the semi-finals in the following year? In the case of Dublin, when they are defending champions after a home Leinster final win, why not let their semi-final opponent in the following year have home venue or choice of venue." For what ? it wouldn't make any difference , the whole system needs to be overhauled .

Replying To offyertrolley: "Good man Liam. And this Dubs side probably would beat most teams in each of their home venues without ever playing in Croke Park.
But even the mere thought of the Dubs going down to play Kerry in Killarney would be fantastic. The excitement, the novelty, the hint of the unknown - and no guarantee that the Dubs would win based on their last two visits to the Kingdom! It would be fantastic to see the Dubs playing around the country during the summer. It would add so much more colour to the championship. And as you say, it would probably end that particular gripe against them. I don't think any Super 8s matches should be played in Croke Park, bar one home match for the Dubs." Agreed
