A lot of posters having meltdowns about Dublin Gaa blaming from money,saying they are pro to attendances. Ye need to stay off the keyboards lads. Not good for the health.Every county should have 25 lads. Look at us 37 titles. the jacks will never catch us. Mayo and ourselves have shown in recent years the dubs are not a super side. If counties invest in under age coaching rather than short term outside manager/coach they will reap the benefits. Look at Kerry, we have won 5 in a row minors. We should possibly get 8/10 lads from them teams and will be a force again in next year or two. Kerry ABU

GAA Discussion / We need to talk about Kieran Donaghy
September 11, 2018, 10:40:39 AM
All the best in retirement Kieran. One of the greatest full forwards of time.
Statement from Kieran Donaghy
Today I wish to announce my retirement from the Kerry Senior Football team. The journey has been full of ups and downs but I never wanted it to end. It has surpassed even my wildest dreams, that a basketball kid from Tralee would end up playing 69 times in the championship over a 14 year period for the famous Green and Gold.
To every one of my Kerry teammates who I was lucky enough to have played with, I thank you for your patience, help and advice during those years. I'm blessed to have had the time of my life with you boys fighting on my back trying to win games for Kerry. We had some tough times, such is life but the wonderful stories and memories we shared will stick with me forever.
To get the opportunity to soldier with and against some of the greatest players of all time is something I will always treasure.
During my career I have been lucky enough to work with some great Kerry managers and their respective management teams. They took a chance on me, believed in me in massive high-pressure situations. They gave me the confidence to develop my game which allowed me to perform on the biggest of occasions for Kerry .
I would like to thank the Kerry County Board along with our sponsors Kerry Group, backroom staff and medical teams for their constant help and guidance throughout my career. Your unbelievable work is not seen by many but it's massively appreciated by the team and by me.
A huge thank you to the loyal Kerry fans who traveled far and wide to watch and support us. We love football in this county and while there is a pressure to perform we always embrace it. We need to get behind this young team we will have next year, so get the flags out and get to the games to support the boys.
I would also like to thank all the supporters who live abroad but continue their love and support of Kerry.
I would like to thank my club Austin Stacks, everything I achieved is a direct result of the help and guidance ye gave me from an early age. To represent this great club is always a massive privilege and our county championship win in 2014 gave me the ultimate honour the following season. To be captain of a county like Kerry is something I'm extremely proud to have accomplished.
To my family, without you none of this would have been possible. Mom, I am forever grateful to you for believing in me and showing me how to be a good person first and foremost.
To my wife Hilary, you're all that I could ask for, thank you so much for always putting me first during my career , we have had so many wonderful experiences together throughout this journey and made life long friends along the way I can't wait to start the next exciting chapter together with Lola-Rose & Indie.
To the rest of my family, thank you for your support and always having my back.
I'm a proud Kerry man and to have represented this county meant absolutely everything to me. As the great John B Keane once said, 'I'm one lucky hoor!'

GAA Discussion / How do Dublin GAA fend off interest from the AFL?

How do Dublin GAA fend off interest from the AFL?
With the conveyor belt of talent coming through from Dublin, how do they fend off interest from professional AFL outfits? Rural counties have had up and coming stars head down under.

GAA Discussion / Blue Wave - Dublin GAA sought provincial status in 2011

Blue Wave - Dublin GAA sought provincial status in 2011
In 2011 Dublin County Board sought "provincial status" for both funding and administration purposes as part of their new six-year strategic plan, the full details of which were announced in Croke Park in late 2011.
In a broad and somewhat bold plan – entitled Unleashing "The Blue Wave": A Strategy for Dublin GAA 2011-2017 – the central theme is Dublin's ever-changing demographics, which is actually described as a "time bomb", and thus presents several unique challenges to the county board.

General discussion / The John Aldridge/Sunday World Comedy Thread
August 13, 2018, 04:11:54 PMI wish to start a thread for discussion on John Aldridge and his column in the Sunday World or for those who wish to discuss any of the other writers for the Sunday world.
I am not a Liverpool fan but I enjoy reading John's articles. I find them comical as he appears to be still living in the late 80's/early 90's when Liverpool were a superpower.
John's articles are completely one sided and have no basis on current football. I feel the reason that John is employed to write these articles are to provide laughs and wind ups as he can not be taken seriously on all of his opinions, he is a man living on cloud cuckoo land. Also seems to have a horn for Jose Mourinho. Never stops talking about him.
