Let's face reality, Dublin have won 9 out of the last 10 Leinster's and will likely win the next 10 making it 19 out of 20. They've hammered everybody this year and last year too. Often without really even trying. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 21/07/2014 17:34:57 1623231 Link 0 |
This aint Dublins problem, all they can do is beath who ever is in front of them, they have put the effort in over years at underage, and deserve their success, its up to the rest to try and follow suit.. sob (Meath) - Posts: 492 - 21/07/2014 17:38:05 1623234 Link 0 |
How about all YE move out, we'll stay in Leinster, it is ours after all :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 21/07/2014 17:41:16 1623237 Link 0 |
sob wake up and smell the coffee. Nobody is going to catch up to them. It's not like in soccer where a sugar Daddy can just come in and buy the players. Dublin have too much money, too many coaches, too many amenities, too many supporters and too many players to choose from. Its not possible to compete.

That is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most ridiculous messages I have seen in a long time. You cannot justify what you are saying. So what penalize a team for being the best in their province. Should this have been applied to Kilkenny hurlers or the Kerry footballers over the years. Whatever about taking some of their games out of croke park, that is fair enough but not allowing players to aspire to winning their own provincial championship, not allow other counties play against the best. Rather than focus on Dublin's dominance maybe other counties should send their county board delegates and club reps into Dublin to learn how they are doing things and bring them back to their own. Dublin have won two all-irelands since 1995 and yes 9 out of the last 10 leinsters but the majority of the time the final is a relatively close affair. Maybe you are right give them a bye into the all-ireland final. Ridiculous stuff. Adamski (Dublin) - Posts: 339 - 21/07/2014 17:48:45 1623246 Link 0 |
OK so we form a province called the Greater Leinster Championship or the Leinster minus The Dublin Region Championship. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 21/07/2014 17:49:09 1623247 Link 0 |
Why should they move time for other counties to buck up instead of looking for ways to not have to play shrek95 (Meath) - Posts: 77 - 21/07/2014 17:49:18 1623248 Link 0 |
They are going through a dominant period, and with the financial power they have, it's hard to see it dropping off soon. But this success won't last forever. Meath will come back. Counties like Kildare will always be competitive. Kerry won 11 Munster titles in 12 years between 1975 and 1986. I'm sure at the time people thought Cork wouldn't win another won, but they proceeded to win six of the next eight when Kerry had a lull.

Just ban Dublin from Football altogether!! arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4892 - 21/07/2014 17:54:31 1623255 Link 0 |
Jack..would you complain if Meath won 10 in a row?..Dubs deserve their success, you reap what you sow, and as you should probably know Meath co board over the last decade werent very proactive in ensuring success, as i know first hand the many underlying issues at underage level which inhibits any kind of growth in Gaa at roots level in Meath. sob (Meath) - Posts: 492 - 21/07/2014 17:55:17 1623257 Link 0 |
I can't understand this defeatist attitude. Both Meath & Kildare have a population at least the equal of Donegal & yet people here feel that there is no prospect at all of themm ever giving Dublin a game? Give me a break. When Leinster counties break every blood vessel in the bid to reach the standard Dublin have set and are still being walloped then come back & talk to me. What I have seen from ye this summer has been weak, defeatist & embarassing. Get your house in order & man up a bit!! MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 21/07/2014 17:57:39 1623260 Link 0 |

The original poster will get loads of abuse for his views but at the end of this decade Dublin will have taken over Ireland the way they have taken over Leinster. Their progress is unstoppable really and with the level of population, money and coaches and coaching venues at their disposal they will only get better in a way that other counties can't match because we are not as big a brand as Dublin. realman2 (Kildare) - Posts: 464 - 21/07/2014 18:02:20 1623265 Link 0 |
If Meath had a population of over 1 million people, by far the most money, by far the most couches, player base and looked unchangeable they yes I'd complain. What fun would it be winning Leinster every year? Hardly anyone from Kilkenny traveled to most of their finals when they were domination. SO yes I'd rather be moved into a province that would be competitive and exciting. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 21/07/2014 18:05:31 1623270 Link 0 |

Last week all we heard was how Meath teams never fear playing Dublin.....now you don't even want us in Leinster!! bubba83 (Dublin) - Posts: 333 - 21/07/2014 18:12:54 1623275 Link 0 |
Next the poor Dubs will be forced to emigrate. Seriously though it is up to others including Kildare and Meath to get their act together. The GAA also needs to invest in the rest of Leinster. There is an imbalance in relation to finances and coaching etc that Dublin are allocated compared to the rest of Leinster. Padraig Duffy as much as admitted this recently. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2984 - 21/07/2014 18:13:02 1623276 Link 0 |
if this was from a county like westmeath or longford or carlow than fair enough but to have this attitude from somebody like meath or kildare is a complete overreaction considering the population these counties have..focus on ensuring this hammering does not happen again ..look at donegal fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 21/07/2014 18:14:26 1623278 Link 0 |
1 hammering from Dublin and the meath man wants to get rid of the problem, Dublin because they're too good. If The game was close it would have been another great battle and long live the rivallary. The problem is with everyone else in Leinster and now including Meath. The rest need to buck up. It's not good enough that Dublin are steamrolling it every year. I'm not saying that it is great that Meath were hammered but this result may shake Leinster council in to some action like moving Dublin around the province as suggested already. ged (Louth) - Posts: 296 - 21/07/2014 18:15:50 1623281 Link 0 |
