Quote from: seafoid on Today at 09:20:51 PMDublin needs to be split into as many counties needed to get the leinster championship competitive again

Would you do the same with Kerry to make Munster competitive?

Quote from: Hound on Today at 09:06:01 PMYep, that's why Monaghan are unbeatable at Clones,  Mayo unbeatable at Castlebar, etc.
Or is it only Croke Park where home advantage counts?
15 times a year 😁

Totally agree that no Leinster quarters or semis should be played in Croke Park, but that's Leinster Council

In nearly 14 years Dublin have lost only 4 Championship games at home.

Mayo 2012
Donegal 2014
Mayo 2021
Kerry 2022

Down 2-10 Mayo 0-15

Thank god for that. Don't know what the point of this competition is?

U20 is development, grade the more matches the better for players. And will be B and C grade competitions in the All Ireland series at U17/minor this year.

Grand, then play the squad players in the B competition.

I was at the Westmeath/Laois Leinster Final Replay in 2004. The GAA and the media lamented the attendance of 38,300. This could not happen again - Dublin had to be made stronger to put bums on seats in the new Croke Park.

The rest is a success story - for Dublin.

Quote from: gallsman on May 12, 2024, 06:48:43 PMNiblock thinks the Anglo-Celt is the most precious piece of silverware in Ireland. Odd take.

Mean nothing to anyone from Tipp, Cork, Mayo, Galway, Dublin ........

It's a shame a majority of Dublin Supporters won't be able to say ''I was there when Dublin won 14 in a row Leinsters''  ;D

I doubt even most of them watched it on the TV.

Quote from: Rebel84 on May 12, 2024, 03:03:35 PMWas tight for 55 mins decent effort from Louth but the Dubs will likely win comfortably now.

The Dubs are hard to beat at home.

It's a big help to be playing at home no doubt about it.

Feel sorry for Louth as they have a lot of good players but they just can't compete against a professional setup for 70+ mins. Not many other teams can either.

Explain how the Dubs setup differs to other counties....? Leaving aside CP

GDO's in every club.

Look at the money Dublin county board get from the GAA. More than all the rest put together.

OK, but what are the Dublin senior players, management doing that's different to what Louth are doing, Donegal, Derry, Roscommon in preparing for Championship?

They are a 3 in a generation group of players. Time will pass and Dublin will fall back to the crowd.  ;D

I feel sorry for the GAA. They are stuck with this biased mess. Corporate boxes, premium tickets mean they are blackmailed into Dublin having all these home matches. Dublin supporters don't travel either, despite all the myths about this. This is Dublin's 8th home game this year!

Quote from: burdizzo on May 12, 2024, 12:51:13 PMClearly the Croatian song was by far the best one there, as was reflected by the public vote. However, the juries decided otherwise, so really it's all about pushing an agenda. Just a confirmation of what was probably always the case. Or certainly recently. Can't be letting the public actually decide!

The public wants what the public gets...
