[Dublin have just build a fracility that dwarfs it]

The 3 lowest teams there are 3 of the biggest underachievers in recent years in terms of population in Cork, Galway and Kildare. Kerry are doing ok but they have massive revenue from sponsorship and donations. Meath's and Down are two other teams who should be getting better looked after. Tyrone and Donegal are doing very well with limited support but they have good income streams.

how much did the Garvaghey Cebtre cost?

Its an absolute disgrace and its been going on for years. Even the NFL the most professional organisation going have a system in place to try and level the playing field. The GAA will sit and do nothing until its too late.

I don't know what garvaghey to do with it. We have a good system in place for raising funds from supporters and have loans which are being paid back? Whats your point about Garvaghey. Dublin have just build a fracility that dwarfs it

You can replace the word 'build' with 'been given', I think.

Lies. Please call up that centre whatever its called and ask for a full list of teams, ages, gender that have used the pitches and facilities since it opened, let me know how you get on.

And Jinxy its a great facility for Meath teams to use at inter and club level so don't know why you would not be happy with location.

The money is per registered player. Not sure how that doesn't show the truth.

I suspect you won't get a response from any Dub.

Show me the figures, the exact figures on registered players vrs other counties.

The primary school coaching would also include no registered players.

If someone has the stats of how many 7 to 18 years old play in Dublin compared to the rest of the counties please?

Anyway greatest thing Dublin have done, its great to give the resources to the children of the city to promote our national game. Well done Dublin county board.

and you've replied ad nauseam on them all...take a break and enjoy 'your' victory

Just pointing it out, im not going to get involved in this rubbish again drivin my Spewen McKenna, its agenda driven and doesn't cover the reality on the ground in Dublin. There are better articles from journalists that have written previous articles with exact figures, where the money goes exactly, how it used, playing figures etc. I actually think that Spewans obsession is affecting his mental health and im worried for him. He is also on the Kildare GAA forum spouting as well as trying to infiltrate Res Dubs.

One fund fact that Spewan doesn't mention is this: the fact Dublin employs its own coaching and games administrators, while in all other counties they are employed by the province.

Another fund fact the coaches are mainly used for primary schools and mini leagues and youth player coaching, its a great thing, its great for the children to get them interested in Gaelic games.

I was worried when Tyrone put 8 million pound into a centre of excellence, I thought wow, how can we compete with that , they will dominate etc but no, same with Dublin, its a very very good team but wont last forever.

As I said previously, fair play Dublin and Dublin county board.

He calls it right.

One of the best, and a good guy to match.

Is the Gooch type player a dying breed? if you look at some of the physical conditioning of other players.

Proper order, wouldn't expect or accept anything less.

Ah lads be nice, its over now, time to for the important stuff to start now, club football.

I will say this though, Id say they are absolutely sickened down in Kerry, sick to the teeth. Its great.

If Mayo can match the exact same intensity as the metric their last two games they will be there again next year in the final.

Jesus will you grow up.  Gloating over winning a competition in which every dice is loaded in your favour .

Ye beat an average and downsizing Kerry team over the past 5 years and on a couple of occasions with a bit of help.  Nothing huge to boast about TBH .   

Only gloating over Kerry, not anyone else. I really feel for Mayo, really do.

That's your opinion, you wont change mine.

Not for you, but for me definitely, Kerry are Kerry, they will always be the team to beat and are the best. Its not even about this year, its the fact now that Dublin can now start saying you find all Ireland medals in your change in Dublin.

Cant see it, The GAA and Enda wont let it happen.

Like they didn't let it happen this year. 

I'd hate to think of the chip you'd have on your shoulder if the Dubs lost.

I would be unbearable!

Ah you know im only half joking with you all.

I do agree with all that the black cards are a complete joke, its a very difficult rule to manage and is left to the interpretation of the referee and its not always clear cut either. quite difficult. Small and O Loughlin should have seen black by the rule book. Keegans was harsh as was McCarthy's the first day out.

It needs to be done away with immediately for the sake of the game.

Canal man, its now an 80 minute game. Its that simple.

I was also very annoyed at the extra 2 mins like the ref was letting them play on to see if they could engineer a point or free, if that ball wasn't turned over at the moment he would played on more.

Orangeman, wait until you see there Kerry team in 4 or 5 years time, those 3 in a row minor team are some of the best players seen at that age, they need to be looked and after transitioned to senior in the right way, the Jack O C will take Kerry and that team to a few All Irelands. I do think Dublin will win 1 more this decade.
