Leinster Championship 2020

[Gael85]

Well done Laois, its not easy score 7 points in 75 odd minutes against Dublin. You'd have think Dublin are favourites after that win. They really are unbeatable at home.

It's great having a strong Dublin in the GAA.

One of the things about pro US sport is that the regulators ensure competitions are competitive.  It's a pity football isn't.

Is that your excuse for Galway's performance today?

Galway lost by a point today, in what is usually a competitive fixture. When either team lose their is an annoyance at a referee decision. a mistake by one or more of our players or a controversial decision.

The Dublin issue is above all that. All the cards are stacked in their favour.  By heavily loading Dublin GAA with advantages the GAA have destroyed the Leinster Championship for nearly 2 Decades and we are now heading for a decade of ruin in the AI Championship.

Sure Dublin have always these advantages.  Why didn't counties complain 20 years ago? What motions are clubs/county boards putting to get resources to underage coaching?

Is it Dublin fault majority of Leinster in Division 2 or below or underperforming in qualifers?

Dublin lucky to get 5 in a row. Mayo missing shots at vital stages them cost them All Irelands in 2016/17.

Dublin Des on the Sunday Game tonight, introduces the Dublin Laois match As follows. . "Well let's have a look at Dublin today where Laois are attempting to beat Dublin . . "

[BennyCake]

There's goals in this Meath team. 5 more next week would make it very interesting.

I hope to feck they beat Dublin. It would really show up how much of a load of bollix the normal championship system is.

For the sake of the whole inter county game, come on to feck Meath!

Last decade has some of the best games/finals in the history of the GAA so to claim the Dubs have ruined the AI championship takes some serious levels of bitterness (even for a Mayo fan) The championship structures are doing far more to ruin the championship than anything Dublin do.

They were great finals because you won everyone you were in and never looked like losing any of them. You are so heavily loaded with advantages games like today have become really embarrassing. Today was even painful for the the commentators and even worse for the analysis's. Even Dessie Farrell does not know what to say in his post-match interview.

I packed in my season ticket in 2017! You can't continue following something like this anymore.

Because 20 years ago you were playing home league Games in Parnell Park. You were playing away games in the Leinster Championship. You were not getting heavy funding from Bertie, the GAA and a multitude of huge Sponsors.

There was no luck to Dublin winning 5 in a row! Yes if they came in through the back door for one or two of them.

If you think winning 14 of the last 15 Leinster titles or 7 of the last 9 Ai's  does not send out a Red flag. You are as blind as most of the GAA faternity.

I'm so sick of hearing about Dublin's advantages and unfairness etc. As long as we go up Croker with gods honest intentions to kick seven shades out of them I'll be happy. Well turn them over sooner or later. If it takes longer so be it. We just have to keep making ourselves better and doing things right. And when the day comes and we beat them and hopefully go on to lift Sam it'll be some of the sweetest days of my life, adding that to memories of 87, 88, 91, 96 and 99.

It's all the purest coincidence. The Dubs are simply the best.
You don't need competition in the championship anyway. Just enjoy watching them.

Eminently commendable, as me granny might have put it but it takes two, at the very least, to tango.
How many people would have attended the Dublin v Laois game yesterday if they had to pay serious money to watch the turkey shoot?
Mayo in the recent past and Kerry potentially once in a while might give the Dubs a right game but the odds will always favour the Dubs. Attendances were dropping off all over the place when Kerry were going for the four in a row.
IIRC, only about 19,000 attended their semi that year. Why bother your arse by reachiong into your back pocket when the result is inevitable.

G'man Seafoid, keep it stirred!

Dublin has played majority of Leinster games in Croke Park was redeveloped in 1990. The 3 replays v Meath 91 all played in Croke Park, replays Kildare 98 & 2000, Laois 99 all played in Croke Park.  Games need to moved down the country.  Dublin 97-2010 only played 6 championship games outside Croker 4 which were qualifiers. Surely county boards complained then?

Dublin have always played league games in Croke Park up.to the 90s. League games were moved in late 90s when Parnell Park when it was developed .

Do you contribute anything than just been a smartarse.  You love a good troll.

That's a really intelligent and well thought out post. You must have spent hours working out how to get it just right.

If Laois and Dublin were club sides they'd never meet as the standard between them is so big. Laois would play teams of a similar standard until they improved to a similar standard as Dublin. It's not a coincidence that the league is now more important to some teams than the championship as they are playing teams of a similar standard on a regular basis.

As long as the championship remains in its current format you'll see mismatches in every province and one sided beatings that benefit no one.

You didn't win Sam in 1991. You Meath hoors  are as bad as those cute Kerry hoors, claiming All Ireland's you didn't actually win
