Time to Split Dublin

[INDIANA]

All of the Dublin team panel play in divisions 1 and 2. That should say a lot about our pick.

Firstly, even the Dublin panel can only be certain size and not involve all clubs.
But since Dublin clubs do not have proper GAA style boundaries all good players end up with Div 1 & 2 clubs, so that says nothing.

Again assumption. Plenty of the top clubs in Dublin have risen from the ashes

It's tough for Dublin this year.  Year 2 -  It all comes down to hunger, have the players the appetite when it matters. Will they be chomping at the bit for success. I for one wish them well.

Split them in two. Quarter them to feck.

Jack McCaffrey and Cormac Costello both play in Division 3.

And so does David Byrne from Olafs. My bad.

The only sport in the world where you are encouraged to dismantle the most well run, successful set up in the land.

Soccer 's most famous country is Brazil, who are the same size as the whole of Europe with a population of 200million. Yet they were dismantled by Germany. Nobody was calling for either country to be split in two.

The driving force behind this desire to split Dublin is SPITE.

Its all down to talent and the way it was nurtured. Are the GAA supposed to split every big club in the country in two to make things even.

Get real

Are the GAA supposed to split every big club in the country in two to make things even.

So if an area has a growing population do you just let the club get bigger and bigger?
Has a club area ever been split in Dublin or are the clubs as the were in 1884?

brigids were effectively split when castleknock setup beside them. thats what you do. There are no superclubs on the northside - its the southside where they exist.

In my locality there are 10 GAA clubs in a 3-4 mile radius.

I keep having to post this because people seem to forget it, well the Dubs like to ignore it. You wont be split just due to population, look at the table:



Here's what millions of euro has bought the Dubs so far:

Dubl$n's Bought Titles:

Senior
Football
All Ireland Senior Football Champions: 2011, 2013
Leinster Senior Football Champions: 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014

This is why you have to split, ignore it all you want but when you took the money it was inevitable that it would lead to splitting eventually.

Rugby in NZ, Aus and SA is always looking to change its formats and the teams involved.

That is why those three countries regularly contest the final stages of the world cup.
They are constantly looking to evolve and change.

Maybe the time has come to look at some change in the GAA.
You cannot rely on county boundaries, most of which were drawn up in the 1500s!

So wat did the money get spent on? pitches?  floodlights ? Coaches? I mean games developement is a broad heading? How much did Laois receive for the re developement of OMoore park? When cork and Kerry are seeded to reach the Munster final and the looser goes straight to the round 4 of the qualifiers are they winning 'bought titles' ?
I don't really understand the table so when you answer the above I might have a better understanding!
Thanks

You must have missed the 400k Kerry GAA receives. Did you attend Maths class at school?

Where did those figures ( money spent on games development ) come from, just out of interest ? And does "games development" exckusively mean paying coaches ?.
