Is Michelle Smith included in lists of the greatest Irish Olympians?
Is Lance Armstrong on the list of greatest cyclists?
Is Ben Johnson up there with the greatest sprinters?

No Dublin player should be included in lists such as this if they played in the doping years. Basically anyone who played this century.

Scurrilous comment
All 3 you mentioned were banned for Drug abuse .
apart from a semi retired Carlow footballer / why would you tar all modern footballers names.
name names or show  evidence  of an overwhelming drug culture in the GAA or  else delete you account

Go back to sleep.

Alot of what passes for debate on social media is nonsense. Twitter can be useful at times, but alot of it hate fueled rubnish best ignored.

Whatever about the production quality of the prime time show, its fair enough to ask why the need to show it right after the dubs won the All Ireland.

Why do you think the real reasons for Dublin's success should be silenced? It's a national scandal. Disgraced former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is at the centre of it, along with the Bailey family. We've seen recent evidence of their dodginess.

Are we all supposed to just pretend we don't know about the millions upon millions of euro that has transformed Dublin GAA? Money taken from government funds and handed to Berties county. A full investigation should take place, we need this exposed just like the FAI are getting exposed now.

I'll leave you to rewriting the history books. Let me know when I can get a copy.

Come back to me when you've done your junior cert at the earliest.  :D

Rationale is not one of yours.

Go do your homework like a good lad and let the adults have a discussion.

that is a grossly unfair comparison.

He used the resources at his disposal therefore he is as bad as a drugs cheat?

I don't disagree with the comments about it having gone too far etc but the likes of that post is too far.

I didn't say Gavin was as bad as a drugs cheat. I said his accomplishments come with an asterisk because of the doping. Not his fault, of course, he was just a small player in the overall disgusting scheme of things.

Maybe you didn't but you compared him. So Michelle Smith has no asterisk beside her name and now gavin has so not only are you comparing him you are saying he's worse??

Comprehension is not a strength of yours.

Do you know what helped Dublin after 2014? The hiring of a professional basketball coach to break down tight defences and create their possession game. Of course, a coach of that standard didn't come cheap, either does the huge backroom team. This is all after the multi million euro player development system Dublin have been operating for near 2 decades. For these reasons, Gavin can never be referred to as the greatest manager in Gaelic Football. Is Michelle Smith's manager the greatest ever Irish swimming coach? Is the US Postal team manager with Lance Armstrong on board the greatest ever cycling manager? I could go on.

Just as there's an asterisk beside all Dublin titles post doping, there's an asterisk beside Jim Gavin's record at underage and senior.

lol, I don't know what record books or websites you're looking at but I haven't seen any asterisks and nor will I. If you've created some in your own head then you just stick to that but you won't have much support apart from a few bitter begrudgers.

There's no asterisk beside Michelle Smith's name in the record books, she still has her Olympic medals, we all know better. It's the same with Dublin GAA. Doping of any form shouldn't be celebrated.

By how outraged the Dubs get over this topic, it's obvious how much it affects them. If it ever gets brought up on radio or tv, the number of texts and phone calls from angry Dubs is off the charts. It hurts them because they know it's true. They were becoming a mid ranked Leinster county and they couldn't take it. They went begging to Bertie and the millions started pouring in. They couldn't win fairly so they decided to cheat. This is what really gets to the Dubs, how they wish they'd started winning through legitimate means. But now they can't get over the fact that financial doping is the reason, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it. It will never go away either. Whenever people talk about Michelle Smith and her Olympic medals, the doping topic comes up. Whenever people talk about Lance Armstrong and his Tour De France victories, the doping topic comes up. Whenever people talk about Dublin and their 5 in a row, the doping topic comes up.

Sorry to be a stickler for detail but you left a whopping 67.5 million out of your Games Development Funding graph, as most of the funding is distributed via Provincial Councils to the counties. I think most people are aware of this but some people choose to ignore it for some reason.



First of all, Dublin is not a province, so even your graph makes it look bad for Dublin GAA. Secondly, the same thing, Dublin is not a province, they are in Leinster and get their cut from the Leinster Council! This doesn't help those defending the doping in any way. Better luck next time.  ;D

Correlation is not causation.

In soccer, Manchester City were a mid table premier league team at best. They hadn't won any top level titles since 1976. In the naughties, they got a serious amount of money invested. Standards started to increase and they've won 10 top level titles since then. A dramatic improvement at the same time as huge resources came available to them.

"Correlation is not causation."

Oh right then, that explains that. Nothing to do with money.




You don't seem to understand what I typed.

Explain how Man City improved? Stick that in your pipe.

Yeah. So minor success has nothing to do with money, because Dubs never win minor.

But U20 is all about money, because Dubs are quite successful at that level. Except, when someone else wins it, it's nothing to do with money.

Maybe, it's just because we have the best players.
Maybe it's because Stephen Cluxton is the greatest keeper of all time.
Maybe it's because Stephen Cluxton is the hardest working goalkeeper of all time.
Maybe it's because Dean Rock is the best freetaker.
Maybe it's because Mannion and Con are just awesome

Kerry are going to knock us off our perch. But until then, either enjoy our brilliance , or suck it up

5 in a row. Never been done before. You have to hand it to the lads. Hard work.


This fella still spouting absolute sh1te. Dublin GAA have won about 110 Leinster, All Ireland and National league titles in women's football, men's football and hurling and men's underage football and hurling since 2001. They won 29 titles in the 18 years prior to this. This huge increase occured at the same time millions of euros was pumped into Dublin GAA. This is the reason for the increase. Don't believe the bullsh1t from fellas like this and others like the president of the GAA.

Pot, kettle, black. There have been many factors in dublin's improvement (including the points above) and success but unfortunately you refuse to acknowledge any of them and insist that funding for underage participation is the key to it all.

Are you not buzzin for the half dozen??

Damn straight I'm buzzin. The Dublin senior footballers are the key to bringing the house down. I've got some images for you to show why there is and always will be an asterisk beside all the tiles:
