Considering our population advantages...... ;)

It's odd that there's only ever been one Dublin man to become president and that was back in the 1920's!!

In fact it was 93 years ago... will we go 100 years without a Dublin man in the top seat??

At this rate I reckon Garth (Bush voting) Brooks stands a better chance....

The last and ONLY Dublin president was...

Daniel McCarthy from 1921 - 1924

It's got to the stage where you'd just expect the GAA President to be a culchie

It would certainly be a novelty to have a Dublin man wearing the gold badge...

I know, you are awfully badly treated. I mean, you only have most of the GAA finance, coaches, on and off field disciplinary decision, media, pundits and home advantage in every game. I think I will start a collection for ye, poor souls.

Id swear some Dub posters are having a competition to see who can open the most Dublin related posts. Thread like this should be in the Dublin forum.
Everyone outside Dublin would struggle to name one Dublin County Board official who could be put forward for the job including most Dub supporters.

'GAA President'.....who cares???!!!

The job of 'GAA President' is to come up with one controversial item during your tenure so as to give yourself something to be remembered by!!

If I was 'GAA President' I would introduce a rule whereby 'Every county stands on its own two feet'......and this way, 31 counties would be exposed for having to rely on the Dubs every year to survive no matter how much they whinge about us!!

Highly unlikely.

I for one hope not, we would never see the Dubs out of Croke Park if such was the case with their players most likely getting married, having christenings, communions & confirmations for their kids in the place, bring their dogs for walks around the pitch, drink a few cans around the Hill, go cruising with a few birds in their wheels under the Hogan and flood the place with old pallets and tyres for bonfires at Halloween!!!!!!

You Dubs and your sense of entitlement, where will it end?

It would be some fun and would sicken all the culchie begrudgers...

We could even charge extra for the fans of some counties, who shall remian nameless, to come visit our home of Croke Park...

Put a tax on certain counties and give this money to the Dubs and make the financial gap even wider..
Just like they did in Spain with Real Madrid all those years ago...

Sounds like a great plan to me...

Both of the above are happening already...

Why did you mention Garth Brooks voting record Jimbo?

seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 13/02/2014 19:29:18    1545787

Couldn't care less where he comes from as long as he can do the job.

Snuffy...... that's pretty much hit the nail on the head there!

Sure you have to give it to the culchies. They need someone at the helm to direct the wealth we generate to 31 other counties.

Yeah jimbo, what's it got to do with anything?

Gold badge??

What about a president from the 6 counties. There hasn't been 1 of them in the last 20 years.

Surely this thread should be on the dublin forum!

Wasn't Dr JJ Stewart, President from 1958-1961, also a Dub?
