Quote from: Brendan on Today at 08:29:35 AMA few years ago they had a jersey with the UVF colours. Umbro had to stop promoting it.Quote from: marty34 on Today at 07:52:14 AMQuote from: Brendan on Today at 07:24:25 AMNot sure which three is right for this but it seems pretty appropriate, does Linfield normally have such a colourful array of flags for their games are is it just because they were playing a "Catholic team"?
They were sent packing regardless.
3rd goal, to finish it off, was great.
Fans should have been sent packing, can you really claim to be commemorating the 1913 UVF at a football match?
Quote from: marty34 on Today at 08:56:07 AMThe money that Dublin get isn't an issue for me.
In a lot of sports,teams have more money, resources and supporters etc. than other teams.
It's the use of Croke Park which, to me, gives them a huge advantage. More than anything else.

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.
Quote from: LC on Today at 07:48:12 AMNo doubt there is a supposed popularity of rugby in terms of attendance compared to big GAA patches however would many attendees yesterday be formally linked to clubs? Ulster final tickets this year are being distributed solely via clubs, if IRFU adopted this for a big rugby patch they would have a substantial amount left over.Leinster is a "club"
