Why has the post been started by a Dub!

This topic is pointless as it just lines us up to take abuse from every other county!

There is no possible way of judging whos championship is better.

i think thats pretty obvious saying as you have county players breaking other county players jaws in club games.

Remember the time Peter Canavan got his Jaw broke, the culprit waited til the game was over. Brave.

the dublin champo would be most competative, kilmacud crokes, plunketts, ballyboden, st vincents, st brigids, ucd then you have other very good teams like lucan, sylvesters, st judes, thomas davis, ballymun.

Just to add my tuppence worth, I do believe the Derry is one of the most competitive in Ulster at least, There were 4 different Semi finalists in 2009 and 2010. They have produced 3 All Ireland winning Club teams. Ulster has been won 10 times by Derry Clubs - over a spread of 5 different clubs.

While Derry may be the most competitive they are not the best, They were almost completely dominant from 90-2003, with 5 different teams. The demise of Derry club football on the Ulster scene may be contributed to the rise of Crossmaglen the best club team to come out of Ulster in History. Since that it has been fiercely competitive within Derry however outside Derry the sides seem to lack the ability to push on. However it would seem that over the last 20 years or so outside Derry Clubs, Cross and St Galls there have been very few counties pushing forward regarding club success, but seem to have good county success (eg Down and Tyrone.)

One thing about Tyrone is the spread of talent. You will not get the Cavan Gaels, Crossmaglen, St Galls, Ballinderry, domination in this county.



That's worthy of me.

And I suppose Waterford and Clare would be the most competitive teams in inter county football.

You don't get them "dominating" like Kerry.......

Ballinderry hasn't dominated Derry, if you would check your facts.

The Tyrone championships are competitive enough alright but are being ruined by some of the over fussy referees within the county, There is that much whistling and blowing going on that it sometimes resembles a loyalist flute band parading through Coagh.
The Derry championship would be much more competitve but i suppose having a Tyrone team in it each year really spices things up that little bit more.

Quite right Dell, you tell him.

Which is why the McGourty family with about 18 all Ireland medals between them DOMINATE Ulster GAA.

Never mind the grade.........

Is the Tyrone championship not usually won by the team with the best legal representation?

patrique (Antrim) - Posts: 13709 - 02/10/2010 13:29:39    788812

Obviously is not the most competitive if no senior club team has ever won the all ireland
