Anyway

There's a lesson to be learned here

It appears that O'Neill's are getting way with a wee bit here

Hopefully more counties will now follow Dublin example and use their own leverage to extract the best possible deal from O'Neill's

As obviously enough... better deals are possible.

I think Galvin, now his retired, should get Dunnes to supply the Kerry Jersey's.

A nice Stade Francais-esque pink and blue away number

True to form from you! I'd say the other Mayo posters wince when they see your posts.

Poorly thought out comment. If 31 counties vote to pool resources. Great! Work away! Dublin will just say no. The GAA can't make Dublin give their cash over. Dublin would just terminate their contracts! And take a smaller sponsorship deal!

This would force Dublin to play all games in Croke Park as the GAA would need the cash? Real brainiac idea there.

I'm not in favour of a sponsorship pool, it makes no sense but Money grabbing? If anyone is grabbing all the GAA money its Dublin; 47% of all funds to be exact.

The GAA invested the money

Dublin didn't demand that they hand it over after they bankrupted themselves

Realman2....

Have Kildare ran out of horsey money?

Dublin apply for grants, good applications I'd imagine and were AWARDED grants. Hardly money grabbing.

You are grasping at straws there! Or Hay.......

Giddy up!

Regardless Dublin getting funded like this over their competitors would make me reluctant if I was a dub to accuse those competitors of being reckless with their cash. it certainly makes Financial management easier for Dublin when the GAA hand over half their national development grants over to one county.

Ah now Realman

That was funny!

If you cant have a bit of laugh you're doomed.. but listen I agree that more needs to be done now

I just don't think it will make any difference and as I've stated I think the real problems far outweigh anything the GAA can rectify

I'm done with this topic now - for good. I'm only repeating myself and so are others.

All the best to you

He's painfully unfunny but anyway good luck to Dublin in the All Ireland, I will be hoping you win it by a street as it means I was even more right in about 2008 when I predicted Dublin would take over the GAA landscape. It will hopefully end up in massive changes to the association that are increasingly overdue.

I will happily take Kildare hopefully winning the Under 21 Leinster as our only achievement for the year. We are just making up the numbers at senior level so i couldn't give a toss anymore.

To be fair to lads like realman,their genuine disillusionment with Dublin's dominance should prick a few Dublin ears!It does to mine anyway.I don't even attend Leinster championship games anymore because of the mismatch in games.And i'm a Dub.I can only imagine being from those counties on the receiving end.I take little pleasure in beating lesser teams by twenty points.

- Even if we won 1 more this decade - Kerry won 4 during the last decade. No hysteric calls for change back then... but anyway

Well Kildare have done very well in recent years at underage - was it 2012 when you held both minor and U-21 titles.. Dublin were hardly taking over anything then and just look at the current underage teams - there is very little between them.

That's a pity Realman - it's not like you were ever winning very much at senior level, and certainly if you're looking for excuses then you need to look closer to home. Dublin Development grants have nothing to do with Kildare dropping to Div 3 after sacking K McG... who lets be honest - spent a lot of money during his reign and was very unlucky at times. Don't forget it's not that long ago that Wicklow beat Kildare in Croke Park. It's not all the big bad Dubs fault.

Dublin have always dominated Leinster

We have more titles than the rest combined

There are little excuses for that poor enough Dublin team of 00's winning so many Leinster titles

A fair few of those games were close but Dublin still won them with an average team at best

The quality of Leinster was in the toilet until Dublin's 2011 win - with the last AI winning Leinster team being Meath in 1990's

Sure it might of been competitive - but that's because we were as equally poor.

So Dublin made up a big part of poor the quality seen in Leinster - It's only since 2011 where we have truly taken a strangle hold

The previous team was there for the taking many times and the rest of Leinster weren't up to task

So I don't buy this - ah sure we're just giving up now because of X rubbish... you've been a long time poor / average

Kilkenny have won 70 Leinster titles... should we all just pack in the Hurling?

Well that's it, I regard anyone from Kildare who goes to Dublin Kildare games in championship under the current conditions as a chump.

Im ain't paying 30 euro to see Dublin pick a score against my county and then hear that most of that 30 euro finds its way back in Dublin GAA's coffers anyway so they can be assisted in giving us an even bigger hiding.

I'll stick to the club football thank you very much.

I understand where you're coming from realman.What makes your point of view more worrying is the fact that Kildare wouldn't be one of the "lesser quality" county's i was thinking of.I always look forward to a game(even on tv) against Kildare and Meath.If some Kildare fans are now deciding to stay away from games v Dublin,what hope for Wicklow/Carlow/Longford etc?

cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 18/02/2016 15:19:46    1826376

If wicklow beat us good luck to them, they aren't a financially doped team playing at home with a huge population advantage. I'll take a fair fight or even a slightly unfair one but the Leinster championship is not either of them and hasn't been for years.

Leinster hurling is fairly competetive now.Galway coming on board has been a success.Dublin are finally able to mix it with the rest.Wexford are a proud hurling county with underage success to build on.Offaly have a rich tradition but are at a low ebb.Laois,Westmeath and Carlow are decent.Kilkenny are top dog's but they have some stiff competition these days.Offaly only won their first Leinster title in early '80,s.Dublin went from 1961-1991 without reaching a Leinster final.Wexford came strong in the 50's & '60's,but didn't have much hurling success beforehand.Kilkenny have never had it so competetive in Leinster,although this has coincided with having their greatest period in their history.Fifteen years of some of the greatest teams and players to ever grace the game.A bit like Dublin in this regard,but i think Leinster hurling is in a better state than the football.Galway can beat Kilkenny on any given day.Dublin have done so a couple of times in recent years also.

Realman

You appear to not want to take anything on the chin... nothing.

What's the excuse for being in Div 3

Why did you all get together and sack K Mc?

How did that work out for you?

Why did you give Dublin home advantage in the league a few years ago when you needed points?

Why couldn't Kildare beat an average Dublin side during the 00's more regularly?

Why were you losing to Wicklow in Croke Park not so long ago?

Why were you losing to Louth not so long ago?

Why did you bottle it against Donegal in 2011?

Why did you go from 1956 to 1998 not winning a Leinster title?

An awful lot of that has nothing to do with Dublin. Nothing.

You have had your chances and didn't take them... so save me your pitiful excuses. You're just looking to tarnish and snipe.

Dublin will always have more funding, more people... news flash... it always had, and again... it always will...!

You're unfortunately just going through a bad time - a few years ago you were a point away from Dublin - a year when Dublin went onto win an All Ireland

But unfortunately - you went and sacked that manager... Meath, Tyrone, Kerry, Armagh, Donegal, and Mayo have beaten Dublin in recent years with less money and population - Some of those teams in fact HAMMERED Dublin out the gate! They weren't interested in excuses.... and they took their chances.

You haven't. Time and time and time again...That's your fault.

Save the whinging BS...

Dublin were in that place not so long ago

But look at your underage - You're competing and winning.... there is plenty of optimism to take from that!

Kildare held both minor & U-21 titles in the same year not so long ago

You're winning... you're doing very well at underage - question's have to be asked at the structures in place to take advantage of that

But you seem hell bent on whinging and looking for excuses.. Dublin have ALWAYS been ahead of Kildare -So your reasoning for not showing up to me stinks to high heaven

TBH you don't sound like much of a loss to the proud Kildare followers that I know... you remind me a lot of a certain poster
