Clubs can come and go Gleebo. That listed that was posted wasn't exhaustive I don't think and had the likes of BOI that I'm not sure still exist. Probably a number of clubs missing.

Why not just ban Dublin from the GAA altogether? Just way no Dublin team can win anything and everything outside Dublin is happy witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 10/12/2020 19:04:30 2321139 Link 2 |

split dublin in 2 and there is a good chance the leinster final will be dublin north v dublin south, yea that sure will save leinster football , meanwhile the other so called major football counties can continue to be a shambles, typical irish view, ignore the REAL problem, its to unplesent, it offends "good serverts" who are running things [into the ground in some] for the last 30/40 years in counties Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 3002 - 10/12/2020 19:13:29 2321143 Link 2 |

for the last 30/40 years in counties"]Of course they will. They will probably contest an all ireland final too, fairly quickly to be honest. What is the problem with that? If they are the two best teams then best of luck to them. If they are contesting every final for 10 years then we might have to look at it again. As regards an irish solution, pumping money in with no foresight or long term planning for the sake of a quick buck, now where has that happened before?

Colm ó Rourke was one of the first pundits to say maybe Dublin should be split. But in fairness to Colm it was before Dubs were dominating. It was because like yourself badmonkey he felt that alot of very good players in Dublin never get a chance to play County football. I do see the logic behind this but IMO it is nt the right way to go. It would be very hard on the fans and definitely would nt be the same for them or for alot of us. In 30 or 40 years time folk would be used to it but our generation would find it difficult. Now I realise like yourself many players lose out that are county standard but maybe in the league Dublin could enter a B team in division 4 and I've no doubt they be up to div 2 in a few seasons. However there would be a problem if they ended up in same div as the main team. Just trying to think outside the box cos I would not like Dublin split and think it's wrong. Also maybe use the grandparent rule and players could play for other counties. Splitting Dublin does nt help weaker counties

Colm ORourke was indeed the first to mention splitting Dublin,now its time to have a deeper look at that and contemplate diluting Dublin somewhat by having four teams and having amalgamated teams playing for the AI championship ONLY,Dublin would likely supply two amalgamated teams.It would have positives for Dublin players in that more of them get an opportunity and would be exposed to playing at county level.

Why not just let a load of Dublin lads who can't get near a panel play for Kilkenny. eoghan6688 (Galway) - Posts: 159 - 10/12/2020 20:48:49 2321176 Link 0 |

Would be a bit of a conundrum as to what teams Kilkenny footballers would be amalgamated with!

Not having a go, was just curious as I recall having read about them on a few occasions. I'd struggle to rattle off the fifty clubs in Mayo.

The continuing arrogance, detachment and dismissive attitude of many Dubs and media elements is very depressing. They really can't, or won't, see the bigger picture. This is definitely a monster that will eventually devour football and the only thing it will have left to eat is itself. Be under no illusions, Croke Park, Dublin and many Dublin based journalists will continue to ignore, deflect and look the other way......until reality bites then they will look at possibly splitting Dublin. It won't come around because they care about the rest, it will be about self preservation as the only contest left worth playing will be an internal Dublin one. TV, sponsors and advertisers will have an input when boredom starts to eat even into Dublin, then they will move. Up to then it will be more of the same patronising, lecturing guff as the rest of us drift away to other sports. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9825 - 11/12/2020 00:19:06 2321244 Link 5 |

Yes, but if you had the power, would you design a structure where there this is parity? Better to lead than follow the same failed paths. Does it make sense that UEFA added Gibraltar to compete with Germany ?

DLRD you are essentially picking from 3 clubs there. Olafs, Crokes and Cuala. The others are women only or junior clubs. Goes to show that the GAA need to get more people playing in this area. More funding for DLRD needed!

But sure its everyone else's fault for not being at dublins level ulsterman, sure we don't have their population money or eternal home advantage but its still our fault.

So do you also split Dublin hurling and camogie into 4 too?? Neither have much hope of winning McCarthy or O'Duffy cups as things stand - so their prospects are unlikely to improve if split into four!! football first (None) - Posts: 1259 - 11/12/2020 10:19:22 2321282 Link 0 |

Dont forget about the free car, free gym membership, a team holiday and the 2 grand to spend as pocket money, getting off work early to go to training, or 95% full time professional during the 3/4 months that the all ireland football championship runs for and that includes having your meals cooked and delivered to you and training in the gym 2 times a day having your own personal trainer there in that gym to over see your training and not being out of pocket for any of that 3/4 months away from work. That is what is causing the problems. ;-)

It shows the level of intellect on here that posters actually believe splitting Dublin is a logical step. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 11/12/2020 11:24:12 2321303 Link 1 |
