Leinster Championship 2020

[Milltown Row2]

There have been no player work profiles in Programs for years.

There are many GAA players who take the piss of being eternal College Students. Many don't work or are in handy makey up jobs.

I presume there was a decision along the way to delete that section of Player Profiles as it was a bit embarrassing and threw a spanner in the Amateur ethos the GAA likes to hide behind.

It's a handy myth to throw about, fits in well with professional Dublin team.

Counties need as a bare minimum

A centre of excellence
Floodlight training pitches with all weather surfaces
Doctors and physios for every game and physio sessions at training
Free gym membership
Access to S&C sessions
Meals after training and games
Training and playing kit
Medical cover

Would the likes of Tyrone, Armagh, Derry, Kildare, Meath, Cork, Kerry Mayo, Galway have these things?

What is it that Dublin has more of?

I've covered population.... they had huge population for years I think...

The money... so what does it cover I haven't put up on that list?

[caprea]

It's kind of funny that people say kildare and meath should be better because they have large populations.

Dublin's population increase since 1990 is larger the meath or kildare's present total population.

The crux of the advantage is population, not funding. The funding disparity is huge but not a big factor in Dublins domination.

More home games.
More opportunities career wise to stay in their county.
More time not spent travelling to training and games.

More home games because they play their championship games at Croke?

Most league games at Parnell, Championship games at Croke is only available if you are winning.

None of that makes better footballers, If thats the case Dublin would never have lost a game 20 30 years ago

You're going to have to come up with better reasons ..

so on my list, which counties don't have that?

[seafoid]

It's amazing to think that if Meath had a development strategy or if Laois had players with drive they could have won Leinster.

When did dublin last play league games at PP

The idea that anyone, even god almighty,  could come up with any reasons to convince Dublin fans they have an advantage is a amusing one.

Dublin fans follow a policy of deny, deflection, deny, deflection, deny, deflection and they are right to do so.

I thought they played Meath there in October?

I thought they played Meath there in October?

How did they get on in their other League games in Parnell Park this year?

They played Galway 10 years ago, then the Spring games were played, great nights out at headquarters. Tipp v Dublin, Dublin v Cork was one of the nights I was there.

But they have played 34 odd games out of Dublin
