Apathy towards GAA in the south

[mup]

Even the ill conceived north/south divide in the Tailteann points to a general unwillingness in the south to put in the hard yards (or mileage in this case)

Counties in Leinster and Munster have given up believing and fighting to be competitive with the Dubs/Kerry, content to be a doormat on their procession to provincial domination and then ask for the goalposts to be moved so they can lower the bar for themselves

Its no surprise one of the few bright lights in Leinster are managed by a Tyrone man prepared to go outside his comfort zone

I would not be prepared to give up the Ulster or Connacht championship due to the apathy and excuse mentality in Leinster and Munster, they need to own it and in time change their ways

Bright lights? The same Louth that were thumped by Kildare who were subsequently thumped by Dublin. Those bright lights?

That was more to do with cash

Time for an All Northern Ireland Championship or even better merge with the British Championship

Tipperary won Munster recently.  Leinster is the real problem.

Ulster pull and drag championship

Last Sundays game would give anyone a dose of apathy

As grim as Northern Ireland

Thank f**k you lot never took to hurling

You'd ruin it too

[clonadmad]

134 football all irelands played

11 won by Northern Ireland teams

134 hurling all irelands played

0 won by Northern Ireland teams


Would playing provincial finals in Northern Ireland improve them?

Do they have a stadium that they could play them in?

So it had nothing to do with a brown envelope, he just wanted to challenge Dublin and spread the gospel.

One title though, Kerry have won 85 Munsters ? They just won another with ease only days ago

It's called Laois,Son

No self respecting Irishman would call it anything else

You lads need to be pitied

learning nothing but British history in your schools

Just wait till you hear what's happened Queenstown and the likes of sackville street.

How's the Ulster hurling championship going ?

Packed out with Northern Ireland teams?

Long and storied history?

Massive crowds ?

Competitive?

[clonadmad]

A competitive ulster football championship ?

Northern Ireland teams

Antrim haven't won it since 1951

Down 1994

Armagh 2008

Derry before Sunday hadn't won one since 1998

Fermanagh never

The question needs to be asked

Why are teams from Northern Ireland so apathetic towards winning

even in their own province

a football title?

Dublin and Kerry have won around 2/3 of football all Irelands. The rest go through cycles of winning and not. Now is a relatively poor time for them. The cycle is bigger than what counties in the south are doing.
