Replying To TheHermit: "No chance of that, Croke Park and the State itself will ensure the Dublin machine will keep on winning. https://www.balls.ie/gaa/sporting-grants-breakdown-show-massive-weighting-towards-dublin-gaa-clubs-378685?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=ballsdotie&utm_content=Sporting%20Grants%20Breakdown%20Show%20Massive%20Weighting%20Towards%20Dublin%20GAA%20Clubs" Great news for the clubs involved, its interesting the quality of the application counts for a lot in the allocation for funding, its good news for those Dublin clubs who clearly put time and effort into their proposals. It begs the question why other clubs haven't. We often hear on here of tales of woe, but when a pathway is there to get funding and the quality of the application is a telling factor you would wonder why other clubs dont seem to have put time and effort into it. Dublin GAA from an administration and games development perspective really do have their house in order, its great for the county. Did anyone watch the documentary on the Dublin ladies in the week, i was struck by how the Dublin County secretary took the the woman's kits home and washed them her self. Sure we are tripping over billions up here. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 01/12/2017 11:46:17 2064203 Link
Kerry to win 7/8 AIs in Cliffords timespan with Kerry? If we get 1 then we can think of a 2nd... Now now lads....wining an AI at underage is one thing but to win at senior level is another thing. Kerry have won 4 minors in a row Not 1 from the first 2 minor teams has made the step up to senior level yet. Kililan Spillane the star of the first minor team does not look like he will be the superstar we hoped. he may become a decent forward for Kerry in time but just remember all the hyperbole over him to get called into the kerry team straight after minor?!!! the Dubs are a steaming train at the moment and the best roadblock in place for them is Mayo, def not Kerry. We will be in with a shout of winning all irelands every year but we are well off the physicality and cop on to match the Dubs year on year at the moment. If Clifford manages 12 years playing senior with Kerry I think he will count himself lucky to come away with 3 medals. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 01/12/2017 12:23:38 2064208 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "So it's like the GAA are feeding the dubs fillets of steak while the rest of the counties have to go to the soup kitchen. The GAA are going to feck up the Gaelic football and hurling eco systems by driving money in to the dubs it's probably already too late." Let them eat cake, Kingdomboy!

It's not just the GAA, sure you only have to look at the latest Sports Capital Grants that were announced this week for more of this sort of thing. Nothing too out of the ordinary with the individual grants to sports clubs and bodies around the country (a few politicians have done the usual to help out their friends). But interestingly there was only 1 single grant made in the 'Other Sports Capital Programme Allocations' normally referred to as a special grant. No prizes for guessing who it was for... Other Sports Capital Programme Allocations 2017 Another couple of million that could have been better spent elsewhere no doubt... if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 01/12/2017 12:42:57 2064212 Link

A competitive Leinster is good for everyone, i thought Kildare had a terrific team last year they were massively competitive in the Leinster final, very easy on the eye and hope they push on again next year and do better in the knockout stages and make the super 8's and beyond. I actually might put a few quid on them to beat Dublin in the league opener. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 01/12/2017 15:40:10 2064231 Link

7 or 8 guaranteed alright I'd say. We're on the way down now so it'll be up to Kerry and Mayo for the next few years for sure and maybe a couple of challengers from time to time.
