A rampant egotist

Seems strange to me that the debate is the GAA grants should be cut, why isn't the pot should be much bigger for all sports?

Would Ulster unionists know who Joe Brolly is?

So split it into two, then when they start competing against each other do we split it again?

Might as well change the the name of cup, as it'll have no meaning beating a split county

I wouldn't be paying much attention to your views on it anyway. You don't seem to have a clue.

Not half as funny as GAA loyalists trying to ignore 15 Leinsters out of 16 and 8 AIs out of 10.

I'd be more worried about winning Connaught titles before worrying about taking on Dublin

Winning Connacht titles is not a real problem for Roscommon. They have a decent chance in most decades and if they don't they can throw a spanner in the works of other counties aspirations.

Well it is, should they start competing for those titles they'll have opportunities to beat Dublin, until then...

Roscommon played Dublin last year in the super 8s after winning Connacht so god knows what you're on about

How did they get on?

They got slaughtered by a team they could not beat in 100 tries.

Hence why people are talking about split.

Well done, you exhibited a lack of knowledge on the subject and then defeated your own point. Great work.

What's the GAA playing population of Dublin?

Also, Dublin has always had a bigger population than every other county.

Seems strange that it's become an issue.

Dublin always had a population advantage and utilized it to become by far the second most successful football county, second only to Kerry.

Now Dublin's population has exploded since 1990. With a lot of rural inward migration with culchies bringing their traditions of GAA with them to Dublin surburbs.

Dublin's population INCREASE since 1990 outstrips the TOTAL populations of kildare or Meath in 2020.

Therefore Dublin are now unbeatable and the intercounty competition structure has at most 10 years left but it could be a lot shorter.

Forget the funding. It's the population that is key.

Laughable stuff. Paul mescal!! Heard it all now 

There is a point there though. There is a discernable lack of activity from too many county boards.

I know what you mean. Dublin took in 161k from fundraising from 2015-2017 according to their own accounts. Desperately short of more active county boards like Mayo who took in 1.761 million from 2015-2016.

And how are their respective models working out?

Well they both get by ok but the Dublin model in Mayo would be a total f**king disaster and they wouldn't be able to keep the lights on.

Luckily for Dublin their model works even though their county board is hopeless at fundraising because they have multinationals and the GAA willing to pay them millions.

They are hopeless at fundraising as proven by how much funds they raise...?

Tell yourself whatever you have to, to give the titles meaning.

I'm just pointing out the gibberish being posted.

They mean lots of culchie tears which is nice

Take the spoils of victory where you can. They are to be celebrated. Even hollow ones.

Ger really nailing the central issue there. 

Did wooly go west to play football in the US after 2004?

Thought was 05. He called micko the greatest manager of all a buffer.   Micko dropped him a couple times for discipline reasons

Wonder how he managed to go to the US with that with assault conviction

But Larryin you're meant to sit back and enjoy watching the Superteam.
Tough luck if you want a competitive game thrown in.

I think the Dubs would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that pesky need for sport to be competitive.

GF is in a really weird state that has no future.

GF has a future, the intercounty system does not.

It would be easier to threaten Dublin with expulsion than end the inter county system.

It would certainly be stupider
