Money, Dublin and the GAA

[mup]

I caught you out before you prize fn arsehole. You are one and the same poster. Multiple usernames discussing Dublin GAA with each other on a shithole GAA forum. Is this what you do for kicks you sad fkr.

That other poster is most likely from Dublin.

It's in no way surprising to see a Dub fire out abuse in the face of undisputed facts. Lashing out in anger is all you have left. You know you have been doped to the gills but you can't accept it. Well, guess what? You're going to have to. Your county board accepted the money, they chose to buy success instead of competing fairly. By right, Dublin should be stripped of all titles won during their doping years, what's going to happen is that you'll be split into 4 and we'll all try to move on and learn from this dark period. Like cycling has attempted post Armstrong, like athletics post Ben Johnson.

PR/K4S sometimes less is more.

Kildare have barely won anything this century bar the f**king O'Byrne Cup, less is certainly not more.

Don't forget the f**king u20 All Ireland.

Also don't forget to attend your anger management classes this week.

Is that it? With a population of well over 200,000, you're a f**king joke county. Go clean up some horse shite.

You are a terrible WUM and any valid points you have on Dublin are diminished and diluted by your multiple-poster nonsensical posts. This forum has matured way beyond such embarrassing rubbish.

Brazil has a population of over 200 millions and they've never won an All Ireland.

You are going to have to clean up your act before your confirmation me bucko. The Bishop doesn't take too kindly to such expletives.

Might I suggest you take Victor as your confirmation name?

The funding that goes into Dublin is to maintain the participation levels, which is key.

"To sound boring myself about this, there are other factors that play into Dublin's success. One is a very competitive and successful games programme which is driven, in fairness, by the capacity abilities that they have in the county."

F**k up Horan and quit taking sh|te.

Since when did a club need a professional coach to maintain participation rates?

Oh, I know... only if there was no volunteer already coaching - so no professional coach = no coach at all. But you dare not say that do you ye two faced....


Ironically - I wouldn't have a problem with Dublin getting the bulk of money if it were spent on buying land in the city (in the city does not mean the airport) for new pitches.

[thebackbar1]

imho Horan is thundering disgrace in view of his latest comments

What support has he given St Kevins hurling club when 153 apartments are being built on their pitch ? In one of the most disadvanted areas of the country S

However i think this debate shouldn't be tied to the fortunes of the Dublin senior team.

Participation rates are important, but why aren't all urban clubs with large number allowed to apply for 50% funding for a games development officer ?

Horan is already suffering from group think.

Not surprising really. Are they still reeling off the 'Croke Park is a neutral ground?' argument

What other county gets 4 home games in a row?

[Rossfan]

Horan seems to think he's Dublin Chairman and not National President.
I see some kad called Tommy Lyons who once was famous has joined the fray attacking those who question the funding of the Dublin GAA haves by the other 31 have nots.

The list of advantages is incredible. You mention the home advantage. Dublin footballers have played 1 away game since 2006. 1!!! They tried moving the Dublin hurlers to Croke Park but the Dubs didn't bother going. Croke Park being their home ground, of course, they get their own dressing room and warm up at the same end etc.

More advantages:

Funding: Obviously, the 20+ million funding they've received from all of us. Gone over this plenty of times but this has funded coaches for the past 15 years and has been key in the whole system in transforming Dublin GAA.

Sponsorship: With the increased success has come a huge increase in sponsorship. AIG have provided millions but the list of sponsors is lengthy. O'Neills, AIB, subaru, gibson hotel, energise sports and ballygowan amongst others. They also have the gourmet food parlour which leads on to the next advantage.

Food: Meals are prepared and delivered to them, not just at senior level. This ensures proper nutrition, vital in this day and age. Of course, the players don't pay for this, all part of how lucrative it is for Dublin players......

Freebies: The free cars for a year is well known, less so is that they also have their insurance paid for. Appearance fees came up as a topic recently, some players earn 6,000 but the rest don't do too bad either. From being apart of a Dublin development squad upwards, the players or their parents barely have to put their hands in their pockets. Nearly everything is provided.

Facilities: These development squads have the best facilities available to them. For training, strength and conditioning etc but also the very latest in sports science. Honestly, some of the things they have available to them, you'll never have heard of it!

Travel: Of course, all these facilities and venues are practically on their doorstep. This is a huge advantage over every other county who have players scattered round the country and have huge travel expenses.

Backroom team: With all the resources available, Dublin's backroom teams are very impressive. Coaches for every area including lifestyle, top quality strength and conditioning coaches, nutritionists, yoga etc. One of the most vital additions for the senior footballers was Mark Ingle, the professional basketball coach. It's made a huge difference to how they play but basically, if a manager wants help in any area, the funds are available for him to buy in expertise.

The list just goes on. I posted the graph above that shows the huge increase in titles won across all levels and codes by Dublin teams. This list of advantages explain how this has happened. This is why it's been referred to as financial doping. It's obscene.

AIG might be better off supporting Gaelic games in general ( like Allianz Insurance).
Their support of Dublin might lead to a backlash in the rest of the counties, struggling against the
Mighty Dubs.

I remember Mobile phone company Vodafone, which had sponsored Manchester United since 2000, ended the six-year shirt deal with the Premier League club, because they were loosing customers with Liverpool fans and other Premier League clubs.

Not telling anybody to boycott AIG now ,mind you.
