Chief.. That's all up to you. I haven't forgotten what it took to achieve this era of success, there's a revisionist narrative at play here that doesn't stack up to the actual games. You know the actual stats of play involved in determining who won what! Sort of important information.. the actual events year on year.. All those ridiculously close and competitive games where a single kick of a ball decided it all. All Played on the same pitch where only a few years before we couldn't beat a team outside Leinster even though we enjoyed the advantage of playing far more games at HQ compared to the teams that beat us with ease at times There was no Croke Park advantages then man! Unfortunately you seem to have forgotten. Nothing else I can say and tbh such a post was fully warranted in response to your own. I'm glad you feel disheartened for saying such. Because you're 100% diminishing the substantial efforts that these fellas have put in to achieve what they have just because you're not satisfied on a certain level. Feck off out of that! With all due respect I agree with what you're saying about the S8 games, but sorry the rest of it... nah. You're wallowing in some sort of self imposed BS. I remember what it took to win those games. It's a pity you don't. It's the only logical explanation, because if you remembered yourself you wouldn't be banging on like this. We won games we should have lost.. it's been that close.. game after game of legendary battles.. I listed them all, those games will go down as absolute classics, yet you're taking like this.... Daft. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 29/06/2019 22:41:49 2202606 Link 9 |
When I said I agree I touched off 'post' in error, I agree with the home games in the super 8s but I don't for a minute believe it compromises our current success but it could lead to that in the near future. Sort out the finances and let's play ball. Only time will tell how much different things can be. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8597 - 29/06/2019 23:17:47 2202624 Link 8 |

I am not retorting with personal barbs Not going there. I said what I said. I was in no way casting aspersions on the dubs team. My point essentially is the continued use of croker as a home venue and 2 home games in super 8s is an undeniable pre advantage over other teams and that bothers me. It's something the GAA need to sort out asap. I am NOT talking funding I am talking Croker If you want to interpret that as my casting aspersions on the team themselves then knock yourself out.

Wonder if Kildare will point to Tyrone's funding for their 10 point loss today. Sorry guys we only get a couple of hundred thousand a yr from croke park. Perhaps it's not about the money, it's about work done at grass roots level. Game2Halves (Tyrone) - Posts: 265 - 30/06/2019 00:25:17 2202650 Link 1 |
I really liked your original post here ConnollyDub. It is a pity that you didn't get the reasoned debate you may have wished for. Nothing new there, thread after thread eventually gets on the Dubs and the money debate, largely unreasoned. I think Dubs fans should steer clear of the argument altogether. It gets nowhere. Let the 31 giveout and cry about the subject all they wish until they are ready to debate reasonably. Otherwise (and though tempting to engage) I would ignore. All of it.

No surprises to see certain posters Saturday nights spent, alone and getting furious on the internet. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 30/06/2019 01:45:18 2202656 Link 6 |
I find all great arguments are ended by "suck it up folks". Daith (Kildare) - Posts: 1171 - 30/06/2019 05:10:07 2202669 Link 2 |

Or working perhaps. I know probably an alien concept in the welfare city.

Some of the Dublin supporters now have become unbearably arrogant and superior in attitude - we'll have to move out if they win the 5 in a row!

They have won a state aided 4 in-a-row. Do they have the same respect of counties who have won without state aid?

And here we get to it, lads just wanting to have a go at Dublin or its people. This debate definitely isn't about bitterness jealousy! ;) The Box room mafia have spoken. :D TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 30/06/2019 11:33:56 2202780 Link 8 |
Well if you look at the title, I am not straying off topic. Dubs money & prejudice - think I captured all 3.

This thread was started by a Dublin poster let's not forget that. So the martyrdom is not merited in this instance.
