Any way I'm enrout to Armagh to watch cilles Leinster champion in all ire IC championship play, so it's not all doom and gloom in Meath. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 29/01/2017 10:56:03 1949680 Link 0 |
If Monaghan were in Leinster how would they fair? I think Monaghan and Meath are not far off each other. Re funding I would suggest each county proposes a business plan to croke park the way the dubs have being doing it. There is no point in asking for hundreds of thousands without specifics involved. I would also like to see a system of capitalization based on the AFL where last gets most and first gets least. That way, the league's a lot more competitive rather than a Celtic rangers style scenario. Let's not forget sponsorship either. A county like Leitrim simply can't compete with mayo no matter how good their players are due to lack of funding and infrastructure. There is a white elephant being finished in cork that will be filled once a year at a hurling match. 60 million would go a long way in other parts of the country for developing the game but it seems capitalism wins in the end in an amateur organization.

Agree a North Dublin v South Dublin Leinster final would be epic

If the money isn't a factor why have the DCB publically being so staunch in defending it and stopping it being redirected elsewhere? BlueGolconda (Dublin) - Posts: 39 - 29/01/2017 13:08:19 1949718 Link 1 |
Minor is always tricky though,lads are at a delicate age etc,and many can leave in the next few years.U21 is always more of an indication.

Coaches are proportionate to money available to pay them. Mayo have been better than Galway in recent years as a result of spending the money to fund the best setup possible in an amateur context. Talent wise there's been nothing much between them, just better development of that talent by Mayo. The Dubs have taken this to an even more professional level. With strong finding now and good use made of it Meath and Kildare will be able to compete again in 5 or 6 years. Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 29/01/2017 15:01:18 1949740 Link 0 |
Relax minions, we're on the wane and Kildare's youth will take over soon enough. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8597 - 29/01/2017 15:35:38 1949749 Link 3 |
Not as long as the financial doping continues. The GAA are wakening up to the fact that Dublin's success is a monster of *their* creation. Now, they're trying to stop the rot before it goes too far. 11 Leinsters in the past 12 years. They'd won 1 in the previous 9. Cully (Laois) - Posts: 375 - 29/01/2017 15:57:41 1949760 Link 2 |
Every city needs two teams Everton v Liverpool. Man United v Man City. crikey (Australia) - Posts: 355 - 30/01/2017 06:32:33 1949967 Link 0 |
Yeah it's all down to money and nothing to do with how rubbish the rest of Leinster is. Sure all the Leinster counties run amok in the leagues and qualifiers.

36 players at a training camp in Kildare for the weekend while the 3rd/4th team hammer our 1st team in Drogheda. Not looking good for the other half of have nots. Could the number 5 + number 13 please transfer to us for the year pretty please as i heard theres not even room in the boot of the match bus for them when the league starts next week kikfada (Louth) - Posts: 2091 - 30/01/2017 09:46:00 1949994 Link 0 |
You are wrong about Cork. I can't speak for the others. Cork teams get a free van for 6 month - that 1 van for all teams.

All those barren years between 95 and 2011, if only we'd known giving the players free use of a car was the answer. If garage owners down the country get wind of this, we'll never do the three in a row. Mickmick (Dublin) - Posts: 104 - 30/01/2017 12:40:11 1950080 Link 0 |
Leinster is dead and 90% of future titles will go to the dubs. I still have hope there will be one upset every 10 years or so. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 30/01/2017 12:40:29 1950081 Link 0 |
I would give anything for this to happen.

It's not all down to money I agree, certainly in Meath the eye was taken off the ball for too long, but money has helped widen the chasm between Dublin and the rest of that I have no doubt

Then every Leinster Championship without Dublin will have an asterisk beside it like 2010. Effectively worthless.

The Dublin County Board must be the biggest bunch of eejits to ever walk the face of the planet. And it must be said a dangerous diversion of resources for the country. doublehop (Kildare) - Posts: 4172 - 30/01/2017 13:57:58 1950120 Link 4 |
Dublin shouldn't even come into this argument. Kildare and Meath in particular need to look at themselves. They took their eye off the ball and will pay for that for 20 years minimum tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 30/01/2017 16:15:12 1950178 Link 2 |
