1749196 Jimbo, why do you always start talking about the poster's county in response to genuine posts that concern dublin? It shouldn't be allowed by the admins to be honest, it is a complete diversion tactic.


It's a way of diverting attention away from the truth.

I think it's very important to note that other counties spend money themaster

You'd swear by your comments that Mayo have never spent a penny... When in fact you lord it over most

You'd be well up the list...a list that has to have someone on top

I find your entire argument to be highly disingenuous and self serving to the extreme.

Your own county have spent many millions on it's senior footballers yet Dublin aren't allowed because it's unfair?

That's how daft your argument is... and continues to be...

It's important to highlight that fact to add a bit of balance to this argument about Dublin's ability to generate it's own revenue to spend on itself.

Especially coming from the likes of Mayo / Kildare posters who's own CB's have run themselves into the ground

You shouldn't just be able to make an argument without it being counter argued

And now.. your calling on a valid counter argument to be censored?

Priceless stuff...

Jack Sparrow? Evidence of what. Pat McEnaney talked about it in an interview a few years ago. He had been invited up by Tyrone to give them tips on tackling. I am not gonna look for that interview, but you can if you like. And evidence of the 2012 semi final, just watch it back. Never seen so little football played in a half of football as Mayo lay on the ground feigning injury and time wasting.

Ps Jack, I have zero problem with Tyrone inviting Pat up. It's clever on their part as they were getting tips by a guy who was a shoe in to ref the latter stages of the all Ireland series. It's not like he's favoring them, he's helping them be able to tackle within the laws of the game. Tyrone were leaving no stone unturned.

Who refs club challenge games? So, that ref is ineligible to ref competitive games.....? Think about it, stupid argument.

I thought as a GAA forum, a posters county is very relevant Master. You can infer a huge amount by that alone. Yourself and Whineadams are two perfect examples.

A Thread started by someone in the States, about hearing that Westmeath are unhappy about a ref.... strange that, sounds like someone who just doesn't like this particular ref, and wants to be controversial.

Mc Quillan is a young, ambitious ref, who has reffed, two all-Irelands, Munster, Leinster, and Conaught Finals, countless league and championship game, clearly one of the best refs in the game. To think that any county would be foolish enough to come out in advance of a game and to cast any aspersions on a ref because of a perceived biases is ridiculous.
gaelicgab USA, if your information is credible, one would assume you are somehow in the know at Westmeath, then how utterly foolish you are if that is the case to come onto Hoganstand and tell the world, but with the word "gab" in your username, maybe it is to be expected.

Ah here lads

The truth is your own CB's have run themselves into the ground

The truth is your on CB's have spnent millions

It;'s not our fault you have nothing to show for it

You're own spending would greatly surpass most other counties

Especially Mayo...

So please... if you want to talk about the truth grand.. because it's easy to expose your BS argument if I'm honest

Truth is.. you have a history of losing long before Dublin got itself on it's feet and actually started to take advantage of ourselves and our image, we have created some great players, and put a system in place based on the Tyrone model

We didn't invent the wheel here... but we do have the economic means to keep it well oiled

It's not Dublin's fault you're broke..

This argument of yours didn't exits when we were rubbish... and we were rubbish.

We're entitled to generate as much revenue as possible and spend it on ourselves to grow our games in the capital

That's the truth

We are made to play in Croke Park by the Leinster Council which overwhelmingly backed that decision

That's the truth

The truth is the likes of Kildare and Mayo have given up home advantage to play Dublin in Croke Park

For a quick few quid

That's the truth

Kildare gave up home advantage.. Mayo have given up home advantage.. handing it over to Dublin

This has only bolstered Dublin's game time on the big pitch

That's the truth

Is that Dublin's fault...?

You're just a poor mouth.. year after year...

Just easy hear say BS... yet it's grand for your own setups to spend vast amounts of money.. so much so that you're now broke...

Yeah.. Clap clap clap

You're deadly... if only we could be like you.

With the greatest of respect, Westmeath need not worry about the ref, The Dubs will just steamroller them on their own and wont need the help of an official

Wudnt matter if Lazarus was reffing it,with Joe Dolan and Bressie as his umpires,the result will be the same.

Themaster

You have quite literally spent YEARS banging on about this exact point...

Well since Dublin started winning things anyway...

Convenient that... wha!

In that time how many letters have you sent to your CB or Croke Park detailing your concerns as a fan of GAA

What have you actually done to enforce change...?

Because you're wasting your time here man... you need to be organising leaflet drops, sit in protests, demanding time with senior GAA officials, etc...

You obviously feel hugely passionate on this subject to dedicate quite literally thousands and thousands of posts on the subject

What are you hoping to achieve by doing such?

jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 07/07/2015 14:30:26    1749273

That's nonsense. Westmeath wouldn't care if mary poppins reffed. They will get on with the task at hand

Isn't it an awful shame to see great young footballers coming through in counties like Westmeath, Kildare and Longford,and no funding available to develop them to their true potential, awful shame for the GAA.

Dublin have been historically hammering those teams for generations long before 2011

Imagine Whine. Westmeath with their limited resources/population etc. are now the second best team in Leinster. No Centre of excellence for them (white elephant in some cases) to bankrupt their CB. Just hard work and guts. In short supply in some quaters. Good luck to them.

I'd also like to congratulate gaelicgab on an out-standing trawling exercise. :-)

The last thing we are worried about in Westmeath is the referee. The only thing Westmeath are thinking about is their own game plan to beat the dubs!! Iarmhi abu!

i do not know where this has come from but i can assure yee that westmeath have no issue with joe mcquillan .
the games with westmeath and dublin are always very sporting and this will be no different
we go up with nothing to lose and this thread seems like someone trying to stir things up

Who would become a GAA ref these days. Abuse, violence against them and no thanks. If anyone in the GAA deserves good money it is these men. Sure some make bad calls.......but dont we all. Glass houses chaps

But we aren't talking about spending money. This is about Joe McQuillan reffing Dublin A v B games - something you and others claimed never happened. In fact people were called liars for stating it. Well now we know it did happen, we even have the when and where of it happening.

What has Mayo or Kildare, or anyone else, got to do with that? Surely the debate should be on McQuillan's connection to Dublin and how that might affect westmeath? You are only trying to divert away from the topic because you don't want to talk about it. You are trying to direct the debate away from Dublin. Well tough, you don't get to decide what people can talk about. I can guarantee, if it were the other way around and mcquillan was reffing games for other teams you would have enough to say about it.

Also, for a guy who spends every waking minute on the site purposely diverting genuine debate away from his own county, because he doesn't want the numerous advantages they have over everyone else being discussed, to be calling anyone self-serving beggars belief. Who do you think you are fooling? You are about as covert as a glass door.

Whats the big deal if he refereed Dublin practise games?I take no notice of referees beforehand.Im sure hes an honest,impartial referee,who has officiated at Westmeath games before also.This is silly stuff.
