Could be argued the whole provincial-championship setup is a bit of a dead-duck extranjero (Wexford) - Posts: 375 - 20/07/2016 19:53:23 1887223 Link

The Leinster rivals of Dublin Region are lame ducks. County Kilkenny are similarly dominant in hurling. What's happened to Meath and Leinster in football? What's happened to Offaly and Wexford in hurling? legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7818 - 20/07/2016 20:14:52 1887231 Link

Legend wats the idea with the dublin "region" thing?? Is there a joke i am not Getting? Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 20/07/2016 20:48:42 1887259 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Legend wats the idea with the dublin "region" thing?? Is there a joke i am not Getting?" Despite the legal status of the Dublin Region, the term "County Dublin" is still in common usage. Many organisations and sporting teams continue to organise on a "County Dublin" or "Dublin Region" basis. The area formerly known as "County Dublin" is now defined in legislation solely as the "Dublin Region" under the Local Government Act, 1991 (Regional Authorities) (Establishment) Order, 1993, and this is the terminology officially used by the four Dublin administrative councils in press releases concerning the former county area. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7818 - 20/07/2016 21:06:46 1887265 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Legend wats the idea with the dublin "region" thing?? Is there a joke i am not Getting?" Dublin has 4 administrative councils. That's what he's getting at. However Cork has 2 administrative councils afaik. I think the same is true of Limerick and Galway too. Not sure about Waterford. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13704 - 20/07/2016 21:07:28 1887266 Link

And this has what to with the Dublin football team? This is different to Cork Tipp Galway and Cork how? Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 20/07/2016 21:19:36 1887273 Link

When I had a great time living in the big smoke in late 2001, there was an interesting article in the Evening Herald. We need to get back on topic. Dublin Region's Leinster rivals need to get their own respective houses in order. Kilkenny go straight into the Leinster hurling semi-finals and there's a qualifier group. Possibly the GAA should allow a qualifier group format in the Leinster football championship: 8 teams in 2 groups of 4. Top 2 in each group advance to Leinster quarter-finals joining 2 seeded quarter-finalists. Have 3 Leinster quarter-finals, with the 3 winners joining the defending champions in the semi-finals. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7818 - 20/07/2016 21:36:05 1887285 Link

Leinster council wanted to bring in a group stage and weren't allowed. It wouldn't really make the championship any more exciting. Its a cakewalk for Dublin.

I think Leinster will recover in time, probably needs 5-10 years. KerryKillers (Dublin) - Posts: 711 - 21/07/2016 02:15:17 1887373 Link

It definitely is. However, so is Munster and Connacht (despite what happened this year, it is still not competitive - London, Leitrim, Sligo and NY are miles off the pace). bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 21/07/2016 11:37:36 1887491 Link
Despite the legal status of the Dublin Region, the term "County Dublin" is still in common usage. If you're always going to refer to us as the "Dublin region" could you not also throw in "All Ireland Champions" into the title too every time you mention it??

"DUBLIN REGION" Hes been at this because he thinks hes winding Dubs up. Its just not funny. Leave him off using it. As long as he is happy who cares. If thats what floats his boat. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 21/07/2016 13:49:43 1887627 Link
