12 counties contested the 2019 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, does that mean the other 20 counties in Ireland do not have hurling teams?"]I know what you ré saying Cockney but all the counties play hurling I. e.

They play in the All Britain Inter-County Junior Football Championship, which they have won in 2015, 2017 & 2018 (lost to Scotland in the semi-final in 2019).

I think you might mean Maurice O'Brien from Garryspillane played with Dublin and Limerick. David Reidy played with Kildare for a season before John Kiely asked him back to play with Limerick. Cathal Mullane from Kileedy played with Limerick for Justin McCarthy when most of the 2009 panel went on strike and later played with Longford I think. Our footballers got Tom Lee from Galway(not sure if he played senior football for Galway) and Killan Phair from Cavan in the recent past.

Spot on. That's the way it has gone in every other sport. Only other way would be the American style draft system. Wouldn't work inter county either.

But why should a player with no connection to a county not be allowed transfer? I know it goes against tradition but pretty much every other sport on earth does it. The best players should be allowed to compete on the biggest stage regardless of where they're from imo. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1711 - 30/01/2021 17:10:41 2329734 Link 1 |

Most other Sports where its professional businesses. If you go down that road it will lead to calls for the GAA to be professional FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 30/01/2021 18:04:18 2329743 Link 0 |

I agree it would be almost impossible to implement without going pro,, but I hate the idea of talented footballers and hurlers bring unable to reach their potential due to boundaries. I also think that both codes,, hurling especially,, could see an increase in participation among youngsters in non traditional counties if they feel there's a realistic chance of reaching the highest level and winning the major prizes. Yes there are difficulties in bringing it in but tradition shouldn't stand in the way. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1711 - 30/01/2021 18:31:34 2329750 Link 0 |

The gaa is semi pro for years especially the club. In Dublin players were promised things to go to certain clubs. Stephen Cluxton went public a few years ago in disgust the way his club paid mobile phone bills etc for players they poached..Cluxton would nt play for the senior team for a period over this carry on saying they were not the players he grew up with. Also loads of clubs all over the country are paying managers even at a low level. Amateur my foot.

Difference between paying 1 manager and a panel of 26 players. Dublin clubs might operate different with grants and some players employed as coaching officers but doesn't impy to all 32 counties

Yes you are correct Dubarra and if you want to be politically correct Wicklow have an all ireland football title and Dublin have one less. Not sure of the year but in the early years a wicklow club team represented Dublin in the championship and won the all ireland. The records books say Dublin but it was Wicklow club team

I think this is what you're referring to (link below). Bray Emmets represented Dublin (and won) in the 1902 All-Ireland. link

I was kind of thinking that a scheme be set up allowing Kilkenny lads with an interest in football to declare for a neighboring county, I would imagine the scheme would be temporary until such time as Kilkenny field senior football teams again then they would revert back to their own county, in the short term it could be seen as a way to declare for a county other than transfer to a county. It could be monitored over time and opinions formed.
