They're picking games based on the big counties as opposed to the better games. Monaghan/Louth and Cork/Donegal should be on ahead of the Dublin and Kerry games. Showing them hammering other teams does nothing to promote the championship.

It greatly reduces the number of dead rubbers and increases the importance of topping the group.
you have got it all wrong. Its all money. Grab all association and what have you..........
Quote from: Orior on May 13, 2024, 05:08:43 PMI'd like to see a number of new faces start against Westmeath, and give others a break. Not taking Westmeath lightly, but we should still have enough to win whilst resting players for remaining matches.
So rest Andy Murnin, Rian O'Neill, Ryan Grugan, Aidan Forker, Aaron McKay and Stefan Campbell,
Start Jason Duffy, Tiaran Kelly, Aidan Nugent, Shane McPartlan, Connaire Mackin, Jarley Og Burns and Barry McCambridge (Well, start 6 out of those 7).

Dublin's population is an advantage at underage level. An advantage that still doesn't make us the best at underage as only 15 can be on the pitch at a time.
Our senior team comes almost exclusively from lads who played minor and/or U20. If you haven't done that, you're highly unlikely to play senior or even make the senior championship panel. There'll always be exceptions but very few, but the pool of players we pick from is usually limited to those rather than 1.6 million! In reality we've no bigger pick that Kerry. The top 100 players in Kerry and the top 100 Dublin players are probably at a similar enough level. Our best 26 is currently a little bit behind, probably.
The quality of club football in Dublin is very high compared to most other counties, and that is down to population. This, imo, is a big reason why lads coming out of minor and U20 improve faster than many other counties, where club football has less depth.

The GAA are paying £15m toward a £300m Stadium.
Soccer will be played there in the Euros.
The GAA then get it all to themselves for Games, Concerts, Conferences, etc
GAA get all the revenue?
Where I am lost is that the wider community are paying the Bill for this yet the GAA hold the Keys and reap the profits, while basically getting a new stadium all to themselves.
I thought this stadium was for all the community? That it would be ran by an Independent Management Company.
Sure you cant expect the Soccer or to a lesser extent Rugby to be comfortable under such an arrangement?
