No, I don't think it's any different to any other county and think, based on those jobs you listed, that he's just having a bit of a swipe.

In fact, if I remember correctly, didn't the Tyrone County Board offer to pay its players wages so they could take time off work in the build-up to the All Ireland in 08?

I meant to add Paddy Andrews is with Davy stockbrockers :)
If a county can help players fair enough the commitment they put in for us fans to go and watch should be rewarded. If Tyrone, Donegal or who ever can keep lads from emigrating i salute this.
My point is its clear Dublin a fair diversity in proffessions. Off course lads will have better opportunities of securing employment if playing intercounty football. It has always been this way .
A quick glance of any successful county over the years will see a host of bankers and school teachers.
JmcG comments didnt bother me ,i can see them for what they are, But Bantys comments are something you would expect in a pub late at night between two guys winding each other up. He is showing disrespect to the Dublin lads who studied or trained hard to get a job and still find time to train 6 days a week with Dublin .

Another baseless throwaway comment from a man who should know better. I hope our lads are storing these insults and getting ready to unleash the beast!

Who gives a fk what a failed manager thinks of Dublin. He thought he could come to Parnell and frighten the Dubs. How did that work out Banty my friend :-)

McEneaney is accusing Dublin of breaking the fundamental rule of the association. Let him bring a formal charge so.

Strange really. when i question the long term effects of Kilkennys near monopolistaion of the hurling, people just say that its up to other counties to reach kilkennys level.
Dublins dominance is nowhere near that level yet, and apparently its the end of the world. I love both codes, but KIlkennys brilliance in hurling worries me far more than the dubs brilliance in football.

So true what you say about Kilkenny. Dublin will never dominate football the way Kilkenny has hurling, too many single code counties for that to happen.

That's ridiculous joncarter, Kilkenny's dominance is based on the power of their hurling culture and not population or financial resources.
