IF and WHEN these lads win an U-21 and then move on to win a Senior All-Ireland we can sing their praises - for the moment they're just a decent young team but there's plenty of counties around that have decent underage teams. Dublin's record underage isn't exactly terrible now is it? And yer clubs do very well for themselves too. So the GAA/AIG/Skoda/Super Valu/Ballgowan and the other 20+ sponsors gravy train is oiling the Dublin machine nicely. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 30/03/2017 09:36:57 1973023 Link 5 |

If by investment you mean hard work, good coaching by the clubs, 5 GDA's , schools combined with natural God-given talent of the players then yes you could say it is paying off, albeit with a long way to go of achieving the ultimate aim of the Sam Maguire or even the Clarke Cup for that matter KYTotalFootball (Kerry) - Posts: 280 - 30/03/2017 10:42:24 1973047 Link 1 |

Australia will come plundering the rural county from the southwest. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7755 - 30/03/2017 10:57:05 1973053 Link 0 |
Yep all those millions they have received from Club Kerry or whatever its called is now paying off. Sure it had to eventually. Weren't Kerry up there with Mayo last year and the last few years for total spend on county teams. Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 30/03/2017 11:00:29 1973056 Link 1 |
You have got to either match the big spenders or keep quiet I think. No team can get to Sept now without big funding. Simple but a huge dilemma for the amateur game now. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 30/03/2017 11:19:27 1973064 Link 0 |
jesus lads....hold on Kerry have won a munster u21 title. They would likely have won this without a penny in the bank. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 30/03/2017 11:24:25 1973067 Link 0 |
Really hope these lads make the step up and prove excellent inter county players they appear at this level to be. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4441 - 30/03/2017 11:25:16 1973068 Link 1 |
Ah yes it's hard work & God given talent when Kerry win but money when Dublin do. Gotcha!

Club Kerry - could you fill us in on this. I have never heard of it or any type of group you describe even existing With regards to IC Expenditure - yes it was very high but when you have players based all over Ireland the travel expenses are going to be very high (particularly if the team gets to August, September or even October!) even more so in Mayo's case than ourselves and this would by far be the biggest expense for the likes of Mayo, Kerry & Donegal every year KYTotalFootball (Kerry) - Posts: 280 - 30/03/2017 11:47:13 1973077 Link 2 |
Where did I even mention Dublin? You think with all the success and domination they'd be happy and joyful as opposed to grumpy and paranoid

Hopefully Galway to sneak an All Ireland or two in between - just to ensure correct order
