Quote from: imtommygunn on April 09, 2024, 09:59:33 AMSo what are you suggesting? Should there be a leinster championship without dublin or should there be no leinster championshipt?

He made the point, that has been made here before, that counties trying to compete v Dublin and Kerry need financial support and development plans to make them competitive again - as a better alternative to just scrapping them.
The provincial structure is broken and most people just want them moved to the start of the season. Most counties voted for a structure in 2021 which would see them be played first followed by a league based championship. Now we've ended up with a structure which tries to please everyone and is condensed into half the year despite having more games.
If most counties voted that it would have been seen with the vote The current structure we have was voted in by Congress and any change will have to be done via Congress again.
Grassroots ?
Grassroots is the club's, son who are delighted with the defined split season
Not so happy are the paid shills and expensed intercounty managers who have had a bit of power taken away from them.
Oh and the prawn sandwich crew which live for the days in Premium in "Croker" and would struggle to find their nearest club grounds
Maybe the Club Players Association with its 25,000 members should come back into being to lobby every CLUB delegate before every county convention, should any motion to erode what has been hard won come before Congress
Everybody who follows county has a club and is grassroots. It is not one or the other. People are happy with more time for clubs but not with the state of the all Ireland- things like not playing in August and September, the rushed nature of things, the lack of joined up thinking.
The current all Ireland system is not a solution. And club vs county is not a culture war. Most people are both. They want an all Ireland system that works.
Go on then
Give us a system that "works"
Because all I'm seeing everywhere is a whole load of lads that are making money out of the game whinging
But not offering a lot of workable solutions
Quote from: Dunneroyal on April 09, 2024, 08:52:18 AMNever before has Dublin been 1/50 to beat Meath. Colm has brought us back so much he's undone the foundations set in place by Andy and would rather give quotes in Latin than actually manage a team properly, he is blessed with some of the best players Meath have produced in over a decade. And is wasting it all. If Meath co board doesn't act at end of championship then is the supporters must vote with our feet.I don't understand why Meath bother playing Dublin in Leinster. What is the point ? It isn't a match . It isn't sport Why don't they invalidate the match by playing with 16 players and hand the problem over to the Leinster council ? They are in the Sam Maguire anyway.

Quote from: Shamrock Shore on April 08, 2024, 02:45:46 PMMissed the game as I am over here in Texas chasing total eclipse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOxhH8N3Bo
Longford crowd was poor. We are losing our support. Need a grassroots campaign to get supporters back.
That said, I knew we had little hope agin Meath. But to score 3-12 on them has to worry O'Rourke. If we score 3-12 then Dubs could score 400-800 next week.
5 week break to Tailteann - could lose half the panel to God-knows-anything!
Quote from: Rossfan on April 08, 2024, 11:53:16 AMThe players are amateurs. The GAA expects punters to pay to watch dead rubbers in Leinster and teams who are not ready . Climate change is also in the mix now. If cows can't be allowed out of sheds presumably matches will have to be called off as well.Quote from: seafoid on April 08, 2024, 11:31:50 AMThis was last week
Westmeath manager Dessie Dolan questioned the GAA's fixtures scheduling after his side won the Allianz Football League Division 3 title, just eight days before they have to play a Leinster SFC quarter-final.
"It is hectic," Dolan told RTÉ Sport. "This is our third week in a row and we're playing Wicklow in the championship next week. It's hard to believe the championship is only a week away after a national final.
"The winners play the following weekend as well, so there's the possibility of five weeks in a row. It is extremely busy.
"It's difficult to get the lads regrouped and focused for match after match after match but that's what we have to do.
Did Dessie not see the fixtures months ago and plan training etc accordingly?
He sounds like he only discovered the fixtures a week or 10 days ago!
Quote from: NAG1 on April 08, 2024, 10:13:08 AMThey used to be able to freak teams out just by turning up. They have savage workrate but they don't have the players any more.Quote from: marty34 on April 07, 2024, 12:25:20 PMQuote from: Saffrongael on April 07, 2024, 11:26:23 AMQuote from: Bord na Mona man on April 07, 2024, 09:04:30 AMIt would have been some injustice if Clare had lost the game coming down the strait. Especially as the ref looked to be giving the Cats plenty of assistance near the end.
Cody hitting the penalty down into the mud patch was a schoolboy error. TJ Reid would have put it high towards the top corner.
In fairness he let Fitzgerald take close to 10 steps for his goal, you don't usually see a player being allowed to pause, cut inside (while still not taking a tap) and then continue
He's a serious man for taking 10 steps.
In fairness, easily the best player in the National League this year. Clare will be hoping he keeps this run of form up. With David Mc Enerney, Shanagher and O'Donnell off the bench last night Clare are working on developing their panel. Just need them injury free as Munster will be tough.
Lohan needed the win last night to justify his work. Well deserved. Were the better team throughout. Clare were hungry and aggressive and in Mc Carthy and Duggan, they have good outlets up top.
Malone works hard in mid-field, Cleary is an old style full-back with Hogan developing into a super man marker/cornerback. With TK to come back, they'll by boosted for Munster.
KK were disappointing although they still have that never say die spirit. They seemed to be off the boil a bit e.g. Blanchfield missing the pick twice for Clare's goal. Simple stuff.
Cody's penalty was poorly struck in the marsh. Who know what would have happened if it went in but they didn't deserve it.
TJ was a big miss as on out bll at full-forward although Mossy Keoghan showed really well when introduced - 3 points I think.
KK were/ are poor I dont see anything improving them drastically as the championship gets going. TJ will slightly but think he is on the other side of it.
They seem to be producing the same type of player at the moment with nothing really standing out.
