What did you do with all the horsey money bryanadams? You have never answered that one?

Horsy Money!!!! That's spent on things to enjoy like nights in Kildare town and buying gins for Tracey Piggott.

Or, you could put the Dubs on the road for the Leinster championship, simple, yet effective, no need for the window dressing.

That should suffice though another very simple but very effective solution would be to make them start out in the Ulster Championship - I would very much doubt they would win two in a row.

Jeez hurlingdub, that sounds like a serious allegation, Ok, I confess to putting a few bob on the Grand national, and I admit I won a few pound on Red Rum, but I didn't think it was a crime, lol.

Anyway, what have horses to do with Dublin's enormous advantage in population, resources, finances, facilities and playing every game at home?

They could make the Dubs only play wit 13 players against 15. it worked in All Ireland final last year for the last 20 minutes :)

1639497 The two and a half plus million euro, Dublin receive from the GAA every year, could be granted to other counties for development of the games outside of the capital. Dublin have adequate private sponsorship to finance themselves

Maybe Kildare should stop waisting money on outside managers/players and invest money more wisely into its teams

do the rossies not have an outside manager handymoran or do you even know anything about roscommon besides having it as your county under the guise of a dubs fan?

Donegal to beat them on Sunday week , that will stop their dominance for 12 months

Hurlingdub, the horsey money you speak of is like the time you went to your local pub and picked up Miranda Kerr for a night of passion. It exists in your mind, not in reality.

Im sick of providing the figures on here how dublin have received mor in development grants than whole provinces so im not going to bother.

Match attendances will fall to half their present figure, Dublin will be spilt and their million and a half a year funding will be turned off by central council, other counties will be amalgamated and things will get back to being competitive. Dublin will destroy donegal in a week and will handle Mayo comfortably. This will go on for about 2 or 3 years only dublin will get better than the rest not the other way round and then a restructuring of county teams will occur.

Why are people thinking counties will get back to parity with Dublin. Such delusion. Dublin are dominating leinster for 10 years and have only become more dominant. Standby the rest of Ireland.

One of my predictions already looks to be in. It's pretty much happened after the monster has already been created.Not that Dublin is a monster in a negative way but it does become a monster if no other county apart from Cork can compete with them in terms of playing numbers and finance.

Realman. I know some of the beneficiaries of that money. I would name them but I doubt HS admin would let it stand :-)

So Dublin supporters are now going to be expected to subsidize counties who get 200 per game more than we already do. Where the fk you think the money comes from?

Exactly Hurlingdub...

I have to laugh at this stuff coming from Kildare posters..
The Hypocrisy of it all..

Considering what they can bring in themselves, you would wonder why they were getting subsidised in the first place...

Kildare have made an almighty shambles of their set-up over the past number of years. It's only natural that they'd point the finger elsewhere rather than look at themselves in the mirror. A population twice that of Mayo and Donegal and nothing to show for it.

what are you talking about? 200 of what.

You get a million a year from sponsorship while almost all other counties would get 10% of that, its not the GAA's job to prop up Dublin. But that's what they have been doing by giving them 1.5 million a year in games development funds. Dubs just don't want to know.

Bottom line: If you think Dublin should be given games developments grants that exceed every PROVINCE then I can't take you seriously.

NO Hurler, HS wouldn't let it on the site because it's baseless hearsay.

Ha, you want to talk about population advantages do you?

Shambles? Be specific?

So players and managers from other counties just decided to play for the love of the jersey did they realman :-)

3 All Irelands in 31 years lads. some perspective please.

We've woefully under achieved since 1995 and we are now putting it to rights. Yet the hysteria from other counties would lead you to believe that the end is nigh.

Leinster is a problem however, Counties (dublin apart) have struggled to compete for 13 years. The odd semi final now and again, but no other Leinster team reaching a final since Meath last did. That is a DISGRACEFUL record and has nothing to do with Dublin who only reached their mecca in 2011. Counties like Westmeath and Offaly should be doing a hell of a lot better. And as for Meath and Kildare, they are shambolic considering where they should be.

If wider considerations are given weight (immigration and unemployment etc) how is it that the 3 other semi finalists all have (relatively speaking) low populations and face the greatest challenge to keep their players.

Counties like Down, Armagh, Kildare, Meath and Cork should be doing consistently better than they do.
