Great interview with Dean Rock on the Late Late tonight. Great guy on the pitch and a great guy off it. Some out there would have you believe that the Dublin players are professional and don't have to work for a living. Don't believe everything those Kerry lads tell you folks. ;o) Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3725 - 20/09/2019 22:05:04 2237944 Link 1 |

When defeat does come it'll be so much easier to take now with the 5 in the bag. In fact, it might even be refreshing, who knows, I say that now. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8585 - 20/09/2019 22:05:52 2237945 Link 9 |

And once again Whats your solution for Tipp , Clare , Limerick and Waterford ? Kerrys total domination of Munster 81 titles and 37 All Irelands has got to be sorted once and for all . superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 20/09/2019 22:12:16 2237948 Link 3 |

Hes a cracking young fella, a credit to his family and community, lovely to hear him and Paddy and Ciaran are hitting New York, you get a sense the team are all great mates. The work he has did on his mind sets both team and individual is fascinating. You get the sense his motivation for doing the interview was to raise profile and awareness of the work hes involved in and done holistically at Stewards, which set us apart from the usual self interest stuff of peddling a book and the like you see in the media by others. Its quite mad that you can watch that with your own eyes and still say Dublin are a professional outfit, that said some of the tin foil hat stuff is very funny and i wouldn't be surprised to see a few GAA jersey storming area 51. I find it quite fascinating that many of the team have ended up in roles of civic, community support and awareness raising, exceptional young men.

Kerry played in Ennis. That's fairness. Kerry won Munster without a game in Killarney. 5/8 of Kerry's championship games were in the backyard of their opponents. 1/8 of Kerry's championship games were in Killarney. 7/9 of Dublin's championship games were in Croke Park. 1/9 of Dublin's championship games were in the backyard of their opponents. Will a county ever win 5 in-a-row away from home? Former Dublin players say the dogs on the street know their advantage of playing in Croker. Congratulations on a good internal achievement for Dublin and winter well. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7823 - 21/09/2019 11:12:43 2238012 Link 2 |

I don't know when but a split in Dublin is inevitable. Maybe even a four way split. Might take another 5 more AI's but it's coming. There was an attendance of 30k for the Leinster final after all. Interest in football is being eroded and the GAA and a new President will know it will only get worse until there's inevitable change.

Not a chance, fate will catch up with your arguments. Re Funding: not one non-Dub on here knows what they talking about, so it shifts to..... Population............on Prime Time I actually heard a Louth Manager say how far they could go with Dublin money........right so it's money? Yes, but when that argument doesn't even stake up it's.....population......then we have the nebulous, the Dublin Advantages.......population, funding Ad nauseam, it goes round and around. McStay started talking about Funding and stating its not complicated, when he gets the counter argument McStay say's its complicated but no harm looking at it (a massive turn around). So then he brings up Population its uncomplicated, the counter argument, why should we? We won't agree to to it, you can't divide the city up along county council administration lines as some will have actually no clubs!!!! he replies well McStay says (its complicated for sure but no harm talking about it). And here we are talking about it. Won't happen not in my lifetime and not in yours, in fact global warming will have turned the Island into a desert by the time that will happen. But do keep plugging away at it, sure it will keep you going through the dark decades of Dublin dominance. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 21/09/2019 12:07:28 2238028 Link 1 |

Don't agree.Dublin is a traditional gaa county with now 29 senior football all-Ireland titles.I wouldn't favour splitting Dublin.You reference an attendance of only 30k at a Leinster Final.How would you like a Leinster Final between Dublin North and Dublin South.I wouldn't.Kerry nearly beat Dublin the first day.Mayo could have beaten them in both 2016 and 2017.Dublin aren't that far ahead.Even as it stands,Dublin are short a midfielder to partner Fenton and they need a couple of backs. For all of that,the gaa need to break a habit and start using a bit of imagination.Roscommon played Dublin in a neutral super 8 game in Croke Park. That match should have been played in a packed O'Connor park in Tullamore.Let's push other counties up rather than pulling Dublin down.Kevin McStay has spoken about the financial pressures for smaller counties of funding a county team.The Central gaa authorities should be solving that problem.There should also be far greater flexibility in the rules for players to elect or declare to play for a county.Conor Cox came to Roscommon from Kerry this year and set our Summer alight.There must be plenty of quality players in Dublin who will never play for the Dublin county team.Those players should be allowed to declare for and play for another county even if they have no connection with that county which is not currently permitted, endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2155 - 21/09/2019 12:16:11 2238029 Link 2 |

Comparison of 3 counties in Dublin and 3 counties in Munster: Fingal - 296,020 South Dublin - 278,767 Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown - 218,018 Limerick 194,899 Tipperary 159,553 Kerry 147,707 The 3 counties of Dublin are the longterm sustainable future of the game. It's just a matter of when. We are living in a pre-evolutionary moment in time. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7823 - 21/09/2019 12:21:35 2238033 Link 0 |

Splitting Dublin in 3 makes absolutely no sense. It has to be north/south. If in 30/40 years it's an issue with north/south dominating again then do north, south and west. If you split Dublin in 3/4 they'd win nothing at an all Ireland level for decades. Even though their populations would still be bigger then mayo/donegal/kerry etc. Pound for pound the Dubs just aren't as good and need their massive advantages to dominate.

It's done now. Five in a Row. Certain people are hurting now. Kerry have for many, many years now, a belief that they have a divine right to be the empire of Gaelic football on this Island. It was and is a lazy arrogance. How dare Tyrone challenge that in the noughties!!.. Sure that wasn't football, they moaned then each time Tyrone beat them.. If only they would play the game like us beatiful Kerry earthlings sure we'd have hammered ya out the gate.!!.. Then they beat Tyrone in a league game in Kerry and its raised fists and all that craic. Then along comes a team that they can't criticise of not playing football the "Kerry way" and they get beaten fair and square each time, that they then resort to all the other petty stuff that they are now engaging in. And when they beat Dublin in a league game earlier this year, as they did with Tyrone some years back its all raised fists again believing, like Brexiteers, that their days of Suppremacy and Empire are returning. That's the arrogance and that's why it hurts so much!!!! Allgael (Dublin) - Posts: 13 - 21/09/2019 15:12:25 2238065 Link 1 |

Again Waterford and limerick havnt won a Munster title in over 100 years , Tipp havnt won Munster title in over 80 years !! Wheres the fairness in that ? Away games against these teams doesn't matter a jot , and well you know it . You dont give a monkeys about fairness, Munster is totally messed up and always has been .Yes its an advantage for Dublin playing in Croke Park and it needs to be sorted Congratulations on your Kerry babies reaching an ALL Ireland final , twas a good achievement for Kerry Oh and winter well superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 2837 - 21/09/2019 15:15:32 2238066 Link 1 |

Once again, if this is about equality, what are your plans for underpopulated counties like Leitrim, Longford, Carlow, Fermanagh....? Diluting Dublin to give Kerry a better chance of competing with them is one thing but what of those counties whose population is a fraction of Kerry's?
