Don't think even that would stop their some of their nearest neighbours from crying. Up to other counties to get finger out.

That's kinda my point though. When I first started following it, the thought of Dublin becoming this dominant in leinster was unfathomable, what is it, 15 titles in 16 years? When they won it in 02,in front of a full Croker btw,their first in 7 years,it was hugely celebrated. As for them winning an all Ireland without getting a tough game, as they did in 2018 and 2020, again, could never have predicted it. The level of dominance is like nothing we've seen, Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 12/05/2021 19:17:59 2341333 Link 1 |

Cynicism won't improve the competition but almost anything would be better than what we have as an AI football competition presently and historically its been badly structured team wise.Something has to be done and I think Croke Park has realized that.

You seriously comparing the position of Dublin and Tyrone now ?? Tyrone last won an All Ireland 12 seasons ago and generally are rated behind Donegal in terms of best teams in Ulster in recent years. Dublin have won last 6 All Ireland's and 8 of the last 10. Dublin haven't got many games in Leinster or outside Leinster in recent years.

Open your eyes and look back to see that I was saying it was easier to win All Ireland unbeaten coming out of Leinster than Ulster. Simple enough for you.

It's still not much of a comparison. Tyrone, even when they had a top team were never by a mile the best team in the country in any way to the same extent as Dublin are now (them and Kerry were the best but plenty of teams on a good day could beat them). In 2007 we came through the back door to beat that Tyrone who were Ulster champions at the time and in the midst of their All Ireland winning era and at the time we wouldn't have been rated as the best in Leinster. It's not, like your saying as if it was only Kerry and Ulster teams that could realistically have a good chance of beating that Tyrone team. In this era put Dublin in any Provence and they would dominate.

Something has to be done about the AI Football competition....its such an unbalanced uneven and unfair competition that it surely doesn't deserve to be called a competition in its present guise and team structure.We need a lot more competitive teams in the competition.
