Percentage of USFC Games with a winning margin of 10pts or more from 1975 to 2000 was roughly 17%. From 1975 to 1979 the figure was 25%.  Lots of 8 and 9 points beatings on top of that also.  Doesn't mean much.

Don't blame them. The most consistent team outside of Dublin in the championship in the last 5-10 years is liable to be excluded from the opportunity to progress to the AIQF because they don't finish in the top 5 of the league. People can dress it up any way they like, but that is the reality. 

Outside of Dublin, Kerry and potentially Tyrone, I don't know why any division 1 team would support it.

And Derry also. Derry chairman Stephen Barker who was on the fixture task force that put these proposals together said while he's not opposed to change there is too big of decision to make over soundbites and Derry won't be voting in favour of flawed B proposal.

Although Mayo had years and years of consecutive seasons in Division One, they were the escape artists year on year! Just doing it a Plethora of times. Also Mayo have a terrible record in the League at home.

That said this would not be the league as we knew it!

Galway, no?
Voting for neither proposal in its current state. If the vote is pushed back to the February Congress and flaws ironed out they'll vote for proposal B

Mayo rightly don't give a shite about the league, just doing enough with the aim of peaking for championship. As it should be.

There's a bizarre search for novelty in GAA formats. Every new format change is painted as something shiny and exciting that the public will go mad for.

Has that ever actually been true?

Novelty tends to wear off very quickly.

This is exactly the problem with the GAA as exemplified by a good number of posters on here. Will support any change no matter how batshit crazy it is just to be seen as progressive.

The biggest disease in Gaelic football is the constant change and clamour for more change, never a single consideration that there might possibly be a downside to the new rules.

No other sport indulges in such self flagellation.

It all started with getting rid of the 21 aside.
The Ultaigh have never recovered from the shock ::)

Most sports like Aussie rules, soccer and rugby have way more self evaluation and rule changes than Gaelic football. Change and evolution can be good if managed well. The county game hasn't worked well for many counties over the last 20 or 30 years if ever. Many players from those counties have no prospect of success or even challenging. The measures proposed give them some hope of development and the prospect of getting success.

Do you seriously think these proposals are designed to help weaker counties develop, because if you do I can only feel sorry for your state of delusion.

The last 20 years have not worked for many counties as there has been a clear direction of travel towards rewarding the elite counties at the expense of the weak. These proposals are another step on that road IMO.
