Time to Split Dublin

not really with the current batch of players who have come through in the last 4/5 years.

When you continue to argue with facts it weakens your argument.

On the 2011 Team. Half of them came through the above batch of players and three of the rest of them Bernard, Flynn and MDMA weren't good enough to make the above teams.

Dublin can't and won't be split, other counties can't and won't be amalgamated so if we are to have a genuine discussion about the potential disparity between Dublin and the rest, and how that could be managed we need to discuss realistic ways in which counties can compete with each other on something approaching an equal footing.

The only thing we can address is the money which is directed to counties and IMO that needs to be done in a business like manner. Who needs money, who will use it correctly and who can provide a return? Give them priority and assist others to develop the foundations required to reach the level of the more advanced counties.

Will never come. ...... Maybe if you were schooled in Dublin you'd have picked up basic arithmetic - must be hard counting sheep all the time

Dubs learn to count by checking how many mg's they get in their bag of 'goodies'.

I think it's been proven we were winning at underage well before 2005.

We know we're cheating but we don't care.

Of course you don't but this cheating will lead to the split.

Similar to the chances of Dublin being split.

Not true Dublin won Leinster minor titles in 99, 2002 and 2003 and an all-ireland u21 title in 2003.

We also were in the all-ireland u21   final in 2002. We were in the all ireland minor football final of 2003.

Lets be accurate we were winning long before the Investment.

You want to include final appearances? So here's what's been won since 09:

It's clear to all that the money has had a huge effect, the amount of titles won in the last 6 years compared to the 18 before is prove positive that money buys success.

I think not, more embarrassment for ya.

Who will initiate the split??

Dubl$n are happy to be bought titles by everyone else so it has to be initiated by other counties. A lot of people are unaware of the level of money Dubl$n have at their disposal at all levels, when they learn about it the split will come soon after.

We didn't buy the 2011 title. Again more bullshit

Why are you ignoring the list I kindly put together for your viewing pleasure? How rude.
You did buy the 2011 title, firstly because the team was backboned by players that came through the multi million euro system and secondly the couple of million spent on the preparation of that team.
